General description
4.3
The DA14580 QFN48 antenna module consists of the DA14580 Bluetooth Smart SoC, RF section,
GPIOs, crystals, power management, debugging/testing and OTP programming. Only one external
power supply is required for operating the module.

Bluetooth Smart SoC
4.4
The DA14580 integrated circuit has a fully integrated radio transceiver and baseband processor for
Bluetooth
®
Smart. It can be used as an application processor as well as a data pump in systems with
an external processor.
The DA14580 contains an embedded One-Time-Programmable (OTP) memory for storing Bluetooth
profiles as well as custom application code. The qualified Bluetooth Smart protocol stack which is
stored in a dedicated ROM, and the customer application software which is stored in system RAM,
both run on the embedded ARM
®
Cortex
®
-M0 processor. Low leakage Retention RAM is used to
store sensitive data and connection information while in Deep Sleep mode.
The radio transceiver implements the RF part of the Bluetooth Smart protocol. Together with the
Bluetooth 4.0 PHY layer, it provides a 93 dB RF link budget for reliable wireless communication. All
RF blocks are supplied by on-chip low drop out regulators (LDOs). The RF port is single ended 50 Ω,
so no external balun is required.
The DA14580 has dedicated hardware for the Link Layer implementation of Bluetooth Smart and
interface controllers for enhanced connectivity capabilities.
The DA14580 is equipped with a DC/DC converter that can be configured either for buck or boost
mode operation. On this module both configurations are available. The default configuration is a buck
mode DC/DC converter. Also, the FCC/ETSI certification is valid only for the buck configuration.

Module GPIOs
4.7
The QFN48 antenna module provides 32 general purpose input/output pins (including JTAG signals).
The interfaces are multiplexed with the GPIOs and can be enabled by appropriate programming. The
available GPIO functions are presented in Table 3.
The following digital interfaces are available externally to the module:
●
Two UARTs with hardware flow control up to 1 MBd
●
SPI interface
●
I
2
C bus at 100 kHz, 400 kHz
●

In addition, a 4-channel 10-bit ADC is also available externally to the module.

Reset
4.7.1
The reset signal of the DA14580 (pin RST) is active high. On the QFN48 antenna module the RST
pin of the DA14580 is connected to GND via a resistor R8 (0 Ω). Consequently, the only way to
perform a hardware reset of the DA14580 on the antenna module is by switching off the power.

Power management
4.8
The QFN48 antenna module is supplied by a single power supply via pin 27 (VBAT). The supply
voltage of the module follows the specification of the DA14580 IC in buck configuration. The supply
voltage ranges from 2.4 V to 3.6 V.
Embedded in the DA14580, the DC/DC converter and LDOs produce all voltages required for the
system operation. The DC/DC converter is supplied from V
BAT
through a bead (FB1) and produces
1.4 V that feeds the internal LDOs. The LDOs supply the digital, analog and RF sections of the chip
with 1.2 V. Finally, the I/O ring is supplied from V
BAT
.

DC/DC converter in boost configuration
4.8.1
Supplying the QFN48 antenna module at a lower voltage (down to 0.9 V) is feasible, but modification
of the module’s components is needed. Please note that this configuration has not been used in the
tests for the FCC/ETSI certification.

Crystals
4.9
The frequency tolerance specification for BLE is ±50 ppm. To compensate for ageing and offset
effects, the external crystal of 16 MHz must have an accuracy of ±20 ppm or better. On the QFN48
antenna module the 16 MHz crystal (Y1) has a fundamental frequency of 16 MHz ±10 ppm and a
load capacitance of 10 pF. The crystal is located on the module itself. The crystal oscillator frequency
can be tuned using a programmable capacitance bank that is embedded in the DA14580.
For sleep mode the on-chip RCX oscillator is used (typ. 10 kHz). In addition, a 32.768 kHz crystal
(Y2) with a tolerance of ±50 ppm can be mounted on the module.

Antenna
4.12.1
A broadband variant of a printed F-antenna is used. A matching network is required for achieving the
maximum power transfer possible. The matching network consists of two inductances: R5 (series

Tuning the 16 MHz crystal
4.13
The accuracy of the 16 MHz crystal (±10ppm) guarantees the ‘in spec’ operation of the QFN48
antenna module. However, further trimming of the 16 MHz crystal is possible using the procedure
that is described in AN-B-020 End product testing and programming guidelines. See Ref.[2].
Software
4.14
The standard SDK release software, without modifications, can be used for testing or operating the
QFN48 antenna module.
Test platform
4.15
An interposer (078-46-A) was built for hardware interfacing the Expert DK Motherboard (580-MB-vC2
/ 078-10-C2) to the QFN48 antenna module. The interposer can be used as a stand-alone platform,
as it has a debug port (J39). The debug port consist of JTAG, UART, VPP, VBAT and GND signals.

5 Measurements
Receiver sensitivity (conducted)
5.1
Test description
5.1.1
In this test the conducted RF sensitivity of the QFN48 antenna module was measured.
Test setup
5.1.2
The supply voltage (3.0 V DC) was connected between the PCB pads 27 (VBAT) and 26 (GND).
The R&S
®
CBT Bluetooth
®
Tester from Rohde & Schwarz was used. Component R5 was removed.
The semi-rigid cable was soldered at this pad. See Figure 17.
Figure 17: Test setup for the conducted RF measurements
Test results
5.1.3
The conducted RF sensitivity using a ‘dirty’ transmitter is better than -90 dBm for most channels.
Lower sensitivity has been noticed on some channels. This is caused by harmonics of the 16 MHz
oscillator. The results for one of the modules are shown Table 10.
