DWM3000TR13

RF Transceiver Modules And Modems Overview

The Qorvo DWM3000TR13 is a fully integrated Ultra-Wideband (UWB) transceiver module based on the DW3110 IC. It supports UWB Channels 5 (6.5 GHz) and 9 (8 GHz), enabling global operation. The module provides location precision of less than 15 cm in 2D and less than 30 cm in 3D, with data rates up to 6.8 Mbps. Operating voltages are 2.5 V to 3.6 V for VDD3V3 and 1.62 V to 3.6 V for VDD1. It features a 24-pin, 23x13 mm side castellated package.

RF Transceiver Modules And Modems Feature Summary

• Fully compliant with IEEE 802.15.4-2015 and IEEE 802.15.4z BPRF standards
• Aligned with FiRa PHY, MAC, and certification specifications
• Integrates antenna, RF circuitry, power management, and clock circuitry
• Pin and pitch compatible with the DWM1000

RF Transceiver Modules And Modems Applications

• Two-way ranging (TWR) tags or anchors
• Time difference of arrival (TDoA) tags or anchors
• Asset tracking systems requiring centimeter-level precision

RF Transceiver Modules And Modems Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number variant matches the required regulatory compliance for your target region, particularly regarding UWB spectral masks for FCC and ETSI. Confirm that the host processor interface requirements align with the module's SPI interface capabilities. Ensure that the supply voltage rails meet the specified ranges for both VDD3V3 and VDD1 to guarantee proper operation of the integrated power management and RF circuitry within the 24-pin package.

RF Transceiver Modules And Modems Selection Notes

Select this module when pin compatibility with existing DWM1000 designs is required while upgrading to newer UWB standards. It is suitable for applications needing interoperability with FiRa-compliant devices and Apple U1 chips. Consider its low-power optimization for battery-operated assets where long-term deployment is necessary. Verify that the integrated antenna design meets the spatial constraints of the final product enclosure.

RF Transceiver Modules And Modems Part Context

This component belongs to the DWM3000 series of fully integrated UWB transceiver modules manufactured by Qorvo. It serves as an evolution of previous generation modules, offering enhanced compliance with modern UWB standards. The module simplifies system integration by consolidating passive components and RF front-end elements into a single compact footprint, reducing board space and design complexity for developers implementing high-precision location services.

RF Transceiver Modules And Modems Replacement Considerations

The DWM3000 is designed to be pin and pitch compatible with the DWM1000. When replacing DWM1000 units, verify that the host firmware supports the updated IEEE 802.15.4z BPRF mode and FiRa specifications. Ensure that the application logic accounts for any differences in channel availability or timing accuracy between the two generations.
