General description 4.2
The system consists of the DA14580 Bluetooth Low power SoC, the SKY6611-11 Front-end module
and a discrete low pass filter. The radio front end is connected to a PCB trace antenna as Figure 2
shows.
The power amplifier is controlled by the CTRL1 and CTRL2 signals. CTRL1 is generated from pin
P0_3 and CTRL2 is generated from P0_2 of the DA14580. On pin P0_3 and pin P0_2 the internal
Radio_TXEN and Radio_RXEN signals are software allocated.

Bluetooth SoC 4.3
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,
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 ,
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 reset line of the DA14580 (pin RST) is active high. On this module the RST pin is available on
module pin 21.
Main debug port for the DA14580 is the JTAG. JTAG consists of two signals, SWDIO and SWCLK.
The frequency tolerance specification for BLE is 50 ppm. In order to compensate ageing and offset
effects, an external crystal shall have an accuracy of ±15 ppm or better. The DA14580 crystal (Y1)
has a fundamental frequency of 16 MHz and load capacitance not higher than 10 pF. The crystal is
located on the module itself. Also, an internal programmable capacitance bank is available in the
DA14580. In this way, the crystal oscillator frequency can be tuned.
For sleep mode the on chip RCX oscillator is utilized. In addition, a 32 kHz crystal (Y2) with a
tolerance of 50 ppm (500 ppm max) can be assembled on the module. The crystal load capacitance
shall not be higher than 10 pF.
The external digital interfaces available for the module are:
● 2 UARTs with hardware flow control up to 1 MBd
● SPI interface
● I2C bus at 100 kHz, 400 kHz

● 3-axis capable Quadrature Decoder
There is also a 4-channel 10-bit ADC available externally to the module.
The module includes 22 GPIOs (including JTAG signals) that are available externally. The interfaces
are multiplexed with the GPIOs and can be enabled by appropriate programming.
The DA14580 is equipped with a DC-DC converter that can be configured as either Buck or Boost.
For this module, the DC-DC converter is configured as a Buck converter (C5, C2, L1, C3).
The DA14580 is available in three packages: WLCSP34, QFN40 and QFN48. In this reference
application the QFN40 has been used.

RF front end 4.4
This part of the design is implementing the amplification of the RF transmitted signal while the
transmitted harmonics as well as the Tx spurious emissions remain within the FCC/ETSI
specification.
The operation of the RF front end is controlled by the DA14580. There are two RF paths: one
through the amplifier and one bypass path. The amplifier path is enabled during transmission. The
RF signal passes through the PA, the low pass filter and the RF matching network. In the bypass
path, the RF signal received at the antenna is driven directly to the BLE transceiver.

Radio front end control signals 4.4.1
4.4.1.1 Radio front end control signals
In general, three different radio control signal can be extracted from DA14580:
- extrc_txen, it can be used as Tx_En control signal of the RF front end.
- extrc_rxen or radcntl_rxen radio. Both signals are of the same duration. They can be used
as Rx_En control signals for the RF front end.
- event_in_process that can be used for wlan co-existence signal.
The signals are extracted by using the BLE diagnostic port. Two registers need to be programmed:
- BLE_DIAGCNTL_REG where it is defined which signals will be extracted from each port.

For having all pins extracted in parallel, a combination of register setting and pin availability must be
arranged. For example it is preferable to avoid assigning P0_4 and P0_5 to RF control signals. P0_4
and P0_5 are used for UART ports in testing and production tests.

Power amplifier
4.4.2
The amplifier circuit is the SKY66111-112 from Skyworks. The VBIAS pin is connected to the bias
voltage via resistor R7. The resistor value is adjusted so that the +9.3 dBm output power is achieved
at maximum 16.15 mA current consumption.
There are two Low Pass Filters options for the power amplifier. The first one is at the input of the
Skyworks amplifier and is formed by C6, C7 and L3 and the second is at the output of the Skyworks
amplifier and is formed by L4, L5, C18 and C19. The second LPF is used in the current design.
The power amplifier is supplied from pin VBAT_3V directly.

Low pass filter 4.4.3
The low pass filter is placed after the amplifier matching network in order to suppress the harmonics
generated due to the amplifier’s nonlinearity. The filter presents low losses in the 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz
frequency range (max. loss: 0.5 dB). The ripple on the pass band was chosen equal to 0.1dB.

Antenna 4.4.4
4.4.4.1 Range Extender v.2 on Interposer
The antenna is a printed Inverted F Antenna (IFA). The antenna was designed according to the size
of the module and the available antenna space (15.24 mm x 24 mm). The measurements for the
characterization of the antenna radiation pattern were performed with Range Extender v.2 module
mounted on an interposer board. The matching components values for the antenna measurement
are: C20= 1.2pF and L6=3.3nH.

Figure 21: Radiation diagram for the board placed horizontally
The stand-alone board presents lower antenna gain than the board mounted on the interposer. This
is explained due the small ground size of the board. It is recommended for Range Extender v.2 to be
mounted on a pcb with bigger ground surface or when embedded to a new design to follow the
dimensions in Figure 22.

The dimensions above are given for a typical FR1 PCB substrate, 1mm thick. The antenna length is
adjusted for resonance including a 1mm plastic enclosure placed in contact with the PCB antenna.
The red outline indicates the antenna footprint, i.e. required allocation of PCB space. The footprint of
the antenna is available per request in dxf format.

Power system and requirements 4.5
The Range Extender v.2 module is supplied by a single power supply through pins VBAT_3V. For
the DA14580 SoC, the VBAT_3V voltage variations are handled by the internal DC-DC converter.
The DC-DC converter’s external components are an inductor L1 (2.2 uH) and three capacitors C3,
C1 and C2 (all three capacitors are equal to 1 uF).
The RF power amplifier and its circuitry are supplied directly from the external power source. The
module is intended for use with a +3 V coin cell battery (e.g CR2450 type). The VBAT_3V voltage range
is 2.4 V to 3.0 V, whereas the absolute maximum voltage is 3.6 V.
The overall current consumption in Tx mode does not exceed 17 mA @ 3.0 V supply. The current
consumption by the front end circuits (amplifier) does not exceed 11 mA, whereas in extended- sleep
mode the consumption of the system is expected to be in less than 1.6 uA.
Figure 23: Current consumption for Advertisement frame
Trimming the 16MHz Xtal 4.6
For ensuring best operation of the Module, the 16MHz XTAL must be trimmed. The frequency is
trimmed by two on-chip variable capacitor banks. Both capacitor banks are controlled by the same
register. For trimming the XTAL apply procedure described on AN-B-0203: End product testing and
programming guidelines.

By default in the secondary boot loader4 all the SPI GPIO signals are assigned to Port0. However as
it has been mentioned in paragraph 4.4.1, P0_2 and P0_3 pins are utilized to extract the radio control
signals. So if SPI communication with a peripheral is needed, a modification in the configuration
settings for the peripherals contained in header file periph_setup.h can be made.

Figure 40: Range Extender v.2 mounted on the interposer board for radiated measurements
The board was set to continuous transmission mode with a 100% duty cycle.
The measurements were conducted for the range of 30 to 1000MHz, 1 GHz to 3 GHz and from 3GHz
to 18 GHz according to FCC Part 15C and for the range of 30 to 1000 MHz and 1 to 12.75 GHz for
ETSI EN 300 328 1.8.1.
A board with Nominal RF Output Power equal to +9.3 dBm was used for this test.
The situation and orientation was varied to find the maximum radiated emission. It was also rotated
360º and the antenna height was varied from 1 to 4 meters to find the maximum radiated emission.
Measurements were made in both horizontal and vertical planes of polarization. All tests were
performed in a semi-anechoic chamber at a distance of 3 m for the frequency range 30 MHz-1000
MHz and at distance of 1m for the frequency ranges above 1 GHz.
5.3.2.3 Test results
The results of the radiated measurements are given on Figure 41 to Figure 53. All measured FCC
values comply with the emission limits specified in FCC 14.247/ Sub-clause (d). Additionally radiated
emissions limits which fall in restricted bands, as defined in FCC 15.205(a) also comply with the
radiated emissions limits specified in 15.209.
As far as ETSI transmitter unwanted emission in the spurious domain, they all comply to the limits
described in ETSI 300 328 1.8.1 paragraph 4.3.1.9.2.
