1.3 Radio front-end and crystal
The ICC-1 radio chipset has a built-in balun. The radio output is connected to an antenna
using a wave guide type of trace to minimize losses because of the two-layer structure of
the PCB. The front-end has a discrete RF-filter to comply with harmonic emission
regulations. The radio uses an XO with integrated frequency control via built-in
thermistor to cover the wide temperature range.
If a stable slow clock source is needed, oscillators can be calibrated in runtime instead of
using a dedicated 32 kHz clock.
1.4 Type approval markings
The ICC-1 module has a FCC ID and Industry Canada (IC) number silkscreen printing for
reference located at the bottom. The host shall be labelled with Contains Transmitter
Module FCC ID: FHO-ICC-1 and IC: 10912A-ICC1.

1.6 Mounting options
There are two mounting options for the ICC-1 module:
• Wave solder the 6 pin connector to the right in a 90° angle to the carrier board.
See Figure 9 - Mounted 90 degree angle.
• Use standard surface mounting techniques for the board when soldered flat to a
PCB. Follow the GND clearance guidelines on the carrier board. See Figure 10 -
Flat board-to-board connection.

2 Design rules for antenna integration
The ICC-1 module can be integrated into various IKEA TRÅDFRI products. Follow the
described antenna integration design rules to ensure acceptable and correct radiated
performance. The antenna gain is -2.5dBi.

2.1 Distance to metal objects
Place large metal objects above the indicated surface as shown in Figure 6 and at least
30 mm from the antenna to secure antenna performance.
Figure 6 - Metal free area to secure antenna performance
2.2 Distance to plastic objects
Place large plastic objects at least 10 mm from the antenna. This can affect the
resonance frequency.

2.3 Grounding of metal heat sink
When using opening A in the solder mask of the Poly PCB as shown in Figure 7, the
antenna connection shall be as short and close to antenna feed as possible.
Figure 7 - Suggested grounding point
If integrated in LED bulbs, when inserted into an opening the module PCB shall be
grounded to the heatsink plate as shown in Figure 8.

2.4 Module mounting options
If the ICC-1 module needs to be attached to another PCB during the integration process,
the connections shall be solid and stable to prevent unwanted effects on the antenna
performance. See Figure 10 and Figure 10 for possible attachment methods of the ICC-1
PCB to carrier board.

2.4.1 Noisy signals
Keep potentially noisy traces and components of the motherboard as far as possible from
the antenna to prevent sensitivity of the module.

3 Power supply for ICC-1
3.1 Regulated power supply
ICC-1 can be supplied from a regulated power supply down to 1.85V in all conditions.
During peak load transients, power supply can be up to 145mA when using high power
mode. The product designer shall verify unconditional stability during peak load to
secure that voltage is not dropping below 1.85V.
The actual design of the regulator affects the decoupling capacity. Make sure that no
noise is injected via the power supply that impacts the analogue parts or the radio
supply.
3.2 Coin cell battery operation
ICC-1 can be operated from a single 3.0V coin cell battery. A minimum of sustaining
1.85V during all peak transients until battery end of life is required to guarantee proper
operation.
Make sure to fulfil the below requirements:
• Add enough decoupling to the device to avoid brown out during transient load in
TX burst. 20uF < 200uF.
• Limit output power to minimize peak power load.
• Schedule power consuming tasks to prevent tasks running parallel to minimize
peak load.
• Minimize over the air communication (OTA), time to perform tasks (like pairing),
fast poll, etc.
• Do not power the module via DCDC or other sources that have poor efficiency at
light loads.

5 Regulatory instructions
5.1 Limitations
ICC-1 shall only be installed in limb-worn devices and only be used as described in this
document and cannot be co-located with other antennas or transmitters, exceptionally if
specified in the grant condition of the equipment authorization. Other electronic
functions not associated with the certified module or certified transmitter requires
additional equipment authorization.
A host product itself is required to comply with all other applicable FCC equipment
authorization regulations, requirements, and equipment functions that are not associated
with the transmitter module portion. To ensure compliance for all non-transmitter
functions, a host product manufacturer is responsible for ensuring compliance with the
module(s) installed and fully operational.
ICC-1 fulfils the RF exposure requirements as portable limb-worn device and as mobile
device, with a separation distance equal to or more than 20 cm between product and
users body in normal operation.
ICC-1 must only be installed in portable limb-worn devices (not body worn) or in mobile
devices with a separation distance equal to or more than 20 cm from users body under
normal operations.
If ICC-1 is installed in a mobile device (host), a special text needs to be added in the
host user manual. This text needs to include information regarding the separation
distance and advise the end user that it is not allowed to be closer than 20 cm from the
device during normal operation. The text needs to be in both English and French
language.
5.2 User manual
User manual for license-exempt radio using the ICC-1 module needs to contain ICC-1
