DWM3001C Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Module

The DWM3001C from Qorvo is a fully integrated UWB module based on the Qorvo DW3110 IC. Integration of the DW3110 IC, nRF52833 BLE SoC, planar UWB antenna, accelerometer, power management, and crystal simplifies the design cycle. The RF design is fully validated, tested, and calibrated at the factory. Low power consumption allows powering from batteries for long periods, providing cost-effective implementation of UWB solutions.

The DWM3001C can be used in two-way ranging and TDoA applications. The module is interoperable with the Apple U1 and U2 chip. They are designed to comply with the FiRa PHY and MAC specifications, enabling interoperability with other FiRa-compliant devices.

The Qorvo DWM3001CDK has been developed as a design kit for the DWM3001C. This kit can be used to evaluate hardware performance as a TWR or TDoA tag and build an evaluation real-time location system (RTLS).

Two micro USB ports connect to the J-Link and DWM3001C USB interface. An on-board J-Link debugger provides SWD and UART interfaces to the DWM3001C. Two micro USB ports connect to the J-Link and DWM3001C USB interface. The board can be powered from either of these USB ports, a Raspberry Pi interface, a battery, or an external power supply.
