BL600-Sx Single Mode BLE Module www.lairdtech.com/wireless 15 Laird     FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION   5The BL600 BLE module is a self-contained Bluetooth Low Energy product and requires only power and a user’s smart BASIC application to implement full BLE functionality. The integrated, high performance antenna combined with the RF and Base-band circuitry provides the Bluetooth wireless link, and any of the SIO lines provide the OEM’s chosen interface connection to the sensors. The user’s smart BASIC application binds the sensors to the BLE wireless functionality. The variety of hardware interfaces and the smart BASIC programming language allow the BL600 module to serve a wide range of wireless applications, whilst reducing overall time to market and the learning curve for developing BLE products. To provide the widest scope for integration a variety of physical host interfaces / sensors are provided. The major BL600 series module functional blocks described below. 5.1 Power management (includes brown-out and power on reset) Power management features:  System Standby Doze / Deep Sleep modes,  Brownout Reset,  Open /Close Peripherals (UART, SPI, I2C, SIO’s and ADC). Peripherals consume current when Open; each peripheral can be individually closed to save power consumption.  2-region RAM retention in System Deep Sleep mode  Enable DCDC on power-up if VCC is >2.1V  smart BASIC command allows the VCC voltage to be read (through the internal ADC) Features to be included in future firmware:  Power fail comparator      Pin wake-up system from Deep sleep Power supply features:  Supervisor HW to manage power on reset, brownout (and power fail)  1.8V to 3.6V supply range using internal LDO regulator  2.1 to 3.6V supply range using internal DCDC convertor    DCDC operation automatically suspended when only the internal low current LDO is needed. This feature is useful for applications using battery technologies with higher nominal cell voltages. The reduction in supply voltage level from a high voltage to a low voltage reduces the peak power drain from the battery.    Used with a 3 V coin-cell battery, the peak current drawn from the battery is reduced by approximately 30%.     5.2 Clocks The high accuracy (+/-10ppm) 32.768kHz crystal oscillator provides protocol timing and helps with Radio power consumption in the System Standby Doze /Deep sleep modes.by reducing the time that the RX window needs to be open. Standard accuracy clocks tend to have lower accuracy +/-250 ppm.
BL600-Sx Single Mode BLE Module www.lairdtech.com/wireless 16 Laird    The high accuracy 16 MHz crystal oscillator helps with Radio operation and also helps reduce power consumption in the Active modes. 5.3 Memory for smart BASIC application code User has approximately 5 Kbytes of data memory available for smart BASIC application code. Please consult Laird FAE for more information. 5.4 RF    TX output power of +4dBm programmable to -20 dBm in steps of 4 dB. - TX Whisper mode1 -30 dBm - TX Whisper mode2 -55 dBm  Receiver (with integrated channel filters) to achieve maximum sensitivity -93dBm @ 1Mbps BLE    RF conducted interface available in 3-ways: - BL600-SA    - RF connected to on-board antenna on BL600-SA - BL600-SC      -RF connected to on-board IPEX MH4 RF connector on BL600-SC - BL600-ST      -RF connected to RF pad on BL600-ST              Antenna options   - Integrated antenna on BL600-SA - External antenna connected with to IPEX MH4 RF connector on BL600-SC - External antenna connected to RF pads on BL600-ST 5.5 UART Interface The Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter offers fast, full-duplex, asynchronous serial communication with built-in flow control support (UART_CTS, UART_RTS) in HW up to 1 Mbps baud. Parity checking and generation for the 9th data bit are supported. UART_TX, UART_RX, UART_RTS, and UART_CTS form a conventional asynchronous serial data port with handshaking. The interface is designed to operate correctly when connected to other UART devices such as the 16550A. The signalling levels are nominal 0 V and 3.3 V (tracks VCC) and are inverted with respect to the signalling on an RS232 cable.   Two-way hardware flow control is implemented by UART_RTS and UART_CTS. UART_RTS is an output and UART_CTS is an input. Both are active low. These signals operate according to normal industry convention. UART_RX, UART_TX, UART_CTS, UART_RTS are all 3.3 V level logic (tracks VCC). For example, when RX and TX are idle they sit at 3.3 V. Conversely for handshaking pins CTS, RTS at 0 V is treated as an assertion. The module communicates with the customer application using the following signals:  Port /TXD of the application sends data to the module’s UART_RX signal line  Port /RXD of the application receives data from the module’s UART_TX signal line       BL600  UART_TX UART_RX UART_CTS UART_RTS  Application - Host  /RXD /TXD /RTS /CTS
BL600-Sx Single Mode BLE Module www.lairdtech.com/wireless 17 Laird    Note:    The BL600 serial module output is at 3.3V CMOS logic levels (tracks VCC). Level conversion must be added to interface with an RS-232 level compliant interface. Some serial implementations link CTS and RTS to remove the need for handshaking. Laird does not recommend linking CTS and RTS other than for testing and prototyping. If these pins are linked and the host sends data at the point that the BL600 deasserts its RTS signal, then there is significant risk that internal receive buffers will overflow, which could lead to an internal processor crash. This will drop the connection and may require a power cycle to reset the module. Laird recommends that the correct CTS/RTS handshaking protocol be adhered to for proper operation.

The Module is a master device that uses terminals SPI_MOSI, SPI_MISO, and SPI_CLK. SPI_CSB is implemented using any spare SIO digital output pins to allow for multi-dropping.   The SPI interface enables full duplex synchronous communication between devices. It supports a 3-wire (SPI_MOSI, SPI_MISO, SPI_SCK,) bidirectional bus with fast data transfers to and from multiple slaves. Individual chip select signals will be necessary for each of the slave devices attached to a bus, but control of these is left to the application through use of SIO signals. I/O data is double buffered. The SPI peripheral supports SPI mode 0, 1, 2, and 3.

Each has the following user configured features:  Input/output direction  Output drive strength (standard drive 0.5mA or high drive 5mA)  Internal pull up and pull down resistors (13K typical) or no pull-up/down  Wake-up from high or low level triggers on all pins The following feature exists in hardware but cannot be configured in the firmware:  All pins individually can be configured to carry quadrature demodulator signals. This feature may be for customer designing wireless mouse application. 5.8.2 ADC The ADC is an alternate function on SIO pins, configurable by smart BASIC.   The BL600 provides access to six-channel 10-bit incremental ADC. This enables sampling up to six external signals through a front end MUX. The ADC has configurable input and reference prescaling and sample resolution (8, 9 and 10bit).       Note:    Current base FW (v1.1.50.0) provides access to 10-bit mode resolution only.

Signal Name (hidden name) Pin No I/O Comments nRESET (SWDIO)   22 I/O  NC (SWDCLK) 23 I Connect 12 K resistor to GND (for current silicon only???). Laird can supply JTAG programmer for this. Only requirement is that the customer should use the following JTAG connector on the customers host PCB.    The JTAG connector MPN is as follows: Reference   Part Description JP1   note1 FTSH-105 Header, 1.27mm, SMD, 10-way,   FTSH-105-01-L-DV   Samtech Note 1:  Reference on BL600 development board SCH. Please refer to the BL600 development board schematic for wiring between BL600 and JTAG connector. Note: Future releases of BL600 base FW (Q3 2013) will support upgrading the BL600 firmware over UART. 5.8.5 BL600-SA On-board Antenna characteristics The BL600-SA on-board chip antenna radiation performance depends on the host PCB layout. Please refer to suggested BL600-SA placement (from the BL600 development board) to allow the on-board antenna to radiate and reduce proximity effects due to nearby host PCB GND copper. Antenna characteristics are those achieved by the BL600-SA placed on the BL600 development board.
BL600-Sx Single Mode BLE Module www.lairdtech.com/wireless 20 Laird     HW INTEGRATION GUIDE   66.1 Circuit Components Required on Host PCB The BL600-series module is easy to integrate requiring no external components on the customer’s board. Note:  In BL600 modules shipped from production with base firmware, all SIO pins (with “default function” of “DIO”) are inputs. Remember to change the direction SIO pin (using smart BASIC) if that particular pin is wired to a device that expects to be driven by the BL600 SIO pin configured as an output.   6.2 BL600-Sx General PCB Layout on Host PCB      Ensure silk screen under module location (refer to land pattern of BL600 development board)  Use solid GND plane on inner layer (for best EMC and RF performance).  Place GND vias close to module GND pads as possible.  Route traces to avoid noise being picked up on VCC supply and SIO (digital) and AIN (analogue) traces.  Unused PCB area on surface layer can flood with copper but place GND vias regularly to connect copper flood to inner GND plane.   6.3 BL600-SA Layout on Host PCB     The BL600-SA has an integrated chip antenna. It is critical to find the best placement of the BL600-SA on the host PCB to allow the antenna to radiate. The following are a few helpful guidelines:  Ensure there is no copper in the antenna keep-out area on any layers of the host PCB. Keep all mounting hardware and metal clear of the area to allow proper antenna radiation.  For best antenna performance, place the module on the edge of the host PCB, preferably in the corner with the antenna facing the corner.  The antenna keep-out area is defined by the BL600 development board which was used for module development and antenna performance evaluation. Keep-out area is shown in Figure 1.

To ensure regulatory compliance when integrating the BL600-ST into a host device, it is necessary to follow the design implementation requirements in this manual so the BL600-ST modular certification can carry over to the host device.    If these requirements cannot be met, the OEM will need to either seek a new FCC/ IC approval for their device or seek a Class 2 Permissive Change through Laird Technologies which adds the new antenna layout to the BL600-St approval. Contact Laird Technologies for further guidance. The BL600-SA and BL600-SC hold full modular approvals. The OEM must follow the regulatory guidelines and warnings listed below to inherit the modular approval.
