Page 4 of 19  N5 ANT SoC System Module Series                     thisisant.com 1. N5 System Module Series The N5 module series uses Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF51422, the industry’s first System on Chip (SoC) solution that is able to support ANT standalone or ANT/BLUETOOTH low energy dual mode operation depending on the loaded protocol stack with advantages in power, size, cost, speed and security built directly into the protocol layer. The nRF51422 integrates a 32-bit ARM® Cortex™ M0 CPU with 256KB flash, 16KB RAM, and analog and digital peripherals. Benefits will reach consumers in the form of new products with even longer battery life, expanded functionality and security, further simplified operation and overall value.  Nordic Semiconductor protocol stacks are known as SoftDevices. SoftDevices are pre-compiled, pre-linked binary files, which can be programmed and are downloadable from the Nordic Semiconductor’s web. The nRF51422 and N5 system module series support the S210, ANT 8-channel protocol stack, and the S310, ANT 8-channel / BLUETOOTH low energy peripheral protocol stack.   The N5 system module series starts with N548M8CB (or ANTN548M8CB) in a 14.0mm x 9.8mm x 2.0mm LGA (Land Array Grid) package. A compact design meeting the industrial requirement to go small, light and wearable, the N548M8CB is also a turnkey system hardware solution including antenna, onboard 32k and 16M crystal clock, DC-DC converter and 24 GPIOs with 6 analogue inputs. The N548M8CB modules are pre-programmed with the S210 SoftDevice and reference ANT network processor application code in order to function as a generic ANT RF module when connected to an application controller. Both pre-programmed images can be easily replaced via the onboard SWD interface pins using off-the-shelf ARM programmers. Pin compatible options to Dynastream’s 20mm x 20mm AP2 or C7 modules are also available. In these options, N548M8CB modules are soldered on carrier boards that are pin compatible to the previous modules. Current AP2 or C7 module customers can easily use these models to evaluate the hardware and upgrade their final products.    The N5 module series if loaded with ANT and/or BLUETOOTH Low energy stack has been certified to comply with radio regulation or standards covering major markets include North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. The N5 modules series is also qualified by the BLUETOOTH SIG.  1.1  N5 Module Nomenclature   1.2 N5 System Module Offerings The N5 module series are currently available in the following varieties.

Regulatory Approvals and Compliances The N5 system module series has received regulatory approvals in the United States (FCC) and Canada (IC), and has been verified to conform to the appropriate regulations in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and Japan. The module series has been qualified by BLUETOOTH SIG. Such approvals and qualification allow the user to place the module inside a finished product and, in most cases, not require regulatory testing for an intentional radiator, provided no changes or modifications are made to the module circuitry. This does not preclude the possibility that some other form of authorization or testing may be required for the finished product. Changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. The end user must comply with all of the instructions provided by the Grantee, which indicate installation and/or operating conditions necessary for compliance. 3.1 United States The N5 system module series has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.  This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.  However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.  If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. The N5 module series complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. The N5 module series does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could result in permanent damage to the equipment, and void your warranty and your authority to operate this device under Part 15 regulations. The N5 module series is labelled with its own FCC ID, O6R2398 (note: First Character is the letter O, not the # 0.) If the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: O6R2398” or “Contains FCC ID: O6R2398”. Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. 3.2 Industry Canada Compliance The N5 system module series complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).  Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. (Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.  L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.)
N5 ANT SoC Module Series  Page 11 of 19                     thisisant.com To comply with Industry Canada regulations, it is required that product containing the N5 module series display a label referring to the enclosed module.  This exterior label can use wording similar to the following: “Contains IC:  3797A-2398”  This information shall be affixed in such a manner as not to be removable except by destruction or defacement. The size of the lettering shall be legible without the aid of magnification but is not required to be larger than 8-point font size. If the device is too small to meet this condition, the information can be included in the user manual upon agreement with Industry Canada. 3.3 CE Declaration of Conformity  The N5 system module series is declared to be in conformance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC and 2011/65/EU, as a low-powered unlicensed transmitter:  EN 60950-1:2006+A11:2009+A1:2010+A12:2011 Information technology equipment - Safety - Part 1: General requirements  EN 300 440-2 v1.4.1 Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM); Short range devices; Radio equipment to be used in the 1 GHz to 40 GHz frequency range; Part 2: Harmonized EN covering the essential requirements of article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive   EN 61000-6-1:2007 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) -- Part 6-1: Generic standards - Immunity for residential, commercial and light-industrial environments  EN 301 489-3 V1.6.1 Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM); Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC); standard for radio equipment and services; Part 3: Specific conditions for Short-Range Devices (SRD) operating on frequencies between 9 kHz and 40 GHz 3.4 Australia & New Zealand  The N5 system module series has been tested and found to comply with   AS/NZS 4268:2012 Radio equipment and systems – Short range devices  AS/NZS CISPR 22:2009 Information technology equipment - Radio disturbance characteristics - Limits and methods of measurement  The ACMA/MED supplier code number is N20233  3.5 Japan  The N5 system module series has been granted type certificate (mark number R203-JN6049).
