Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment 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 or more 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.

Mounting Details
The HBT24B13AN is a surface mountable module. Module dimensions are shown in
Figure 4. The module Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is 0.032" thick with castellated
mounting holes on the edge. Figure5 is a recommended host PCB footprint for the
HBT24B13AN. The HBT24B13AN has an integrated PCB antenna. For the best
performance, follow the mounting details shown in Figure 5. It is recommended that
the module be mounted on the edge of the host PCB and an area around the
antenna, approximately 1.2", be kept clear of metal objects. A host PCB ground plane
around the HBT24B13AN acts as a counterpoise to the PCB antenna. It is
recommended to extend the ground plane at least 0.4" around the module.

SCHEMATIC
A schematic diagram of the module is shown in Figure 6 and the Bill of Materials
(BOM) is shown in Table 2. The HBT24B13AN module is based on the BK3211 chip is a
highly integrated single-chip Bluetooth device. ceiver IC. The serial I/O (SCK, SDI, SDO
and CS), RESET, STATE, SELECT and INT pins are brought out to the module pins. The
SDO signal is tri-state buffered by IC2 to solve a silicon errata where the SDO signal
does not release to a high-impedance state after the CS pin returns to its inactive
state. Crystal Y1 is a 26 MHz crystal with a frequency tolerance of ±20 ppm @ 25°C to
±40 ppm.

PCB Antenna
The PCB antenna is fabricated on the top copper trace. Figure 10 shows the trace
dimensions. The layers below the antenna have no copper traces. The ground and
power planes under the components serve as a counterpoise to the PCB antenna.
Additional ground plane on the host PCB will substantially enhance the performance
of the module.
