1.0  DEVICE OVERVIEW 
The BM78 is a complete, fully certified, embedded 2.4 GHz Bluetooth® version 4.0 
(BR/EDR/LE) wireless IC. It incorporates an on-board Bluetooth stack, cryptographic accelerator, 
power management subsystem, 2.4 GHz transceiver, and RF power amplifier (see Figure 1). With 
the BM78, designers can embed Bluetooth functionality rapidly into virtually any device. 
The BM78 provides cost and time-to-market savings as a self-contained Bluetooth solution. 
The IC has been designed to provide integrators with a simple Bluetooth solution that features: 
• Ease of integration and programming 
• Vastly reduced development time 
• Minimum system cost 
• Interoperability with Bluetooth hosts 
• Maximum value in a range of applications 
The BM78 can independently maintain a low-power wireless connection. Low-power usage 
and flexible power management maximize the IC’s lifetime in battery-operated devices. A wide 
operating temperature range allows use in indoor and outdoor environments (industrial 
temperature range). 
The  BM78  module  comes  in  two  varieties.  The  BM78SPPS3MC2  is  a  complete,  fully 
regulatory certified
module with integral ceramic chip antenna and shield.  The BM78SPP03MC2 is 
a lower cost alternative
with external antenna and no shield.  The integrator is responsible for the 
antenna, antenna matching,
and regulatory certifications. 
The BM78 is a small, compact, surface mount module with castellated pads for easy and 
reliable host
PCB mounting.  The module is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment.

11.0 Mounting Details 
The BM78 SPPS5NC2 physical dimensions are shown in Figure 11-1, recommended host PCB footprint 
in
Figure 11-2, and mounting suggestion in Figure 11-3.  There should not be top copper layer near the 
test
pin area shown in Figure 11-2.  When laying out the host PCB, the areas under the antenna should 
not
contain any top, inner layer, or bottom copper as shown in Figure 11-3.  A low-impedance ground 
plane
will ensure best radio performance (best range, lowest noise).  Figure 11-3 shows a minimum 
ground
plane area to the left and right of the module for best antenna performance.  The ground plane 
can be
extended beyond the minimum recommended as need for host PCB EMC noise reduction.  For 
best
range performance, keep all external metal away from the ceramic chip antenna at least 31 mm. 
The BM78SPP03MC2 physical dimensions are shown in Figure 11-4, recommended host PCB footprint in
Figure 11-5, and mounting suggestion in Figure 11-6.  It is highly recommended to layout the host PCB as
suggested in Figure 11-6.  A low-impedance ground plane will ensure best radio performance (best
range, lowest noise).  Pin 30 (BT_RF) is a 50 ohm connection to an external antenna connector, PCB
trace antenna, or component (ceramic chip) antenna through a host PCB 50 ohm micro-strip trace.  This
trace can be extended to include passive parts for antenna attenuation padding, impedance matching,
or to provide test posts.  It is recommended that the micro-strip trace be as short as possible for
minimum loss and best impedance matching.  If the micro-strip trace is longer, it should be a 50 ohm
impedance.  Figure 11-6 shows an example connection to U.FL connector. 
Soldering Recommendations 
The BM78 wireless module was assembled using standard lead-free reflow profile IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
The module can be soldered to the host PCB using standard leaded and lead-free solder reflow profiles.
To avoid damaging the module, the following recommendations are given: 
• 
Microchip Technology Application Note AN233 Solder Reflow Recommendation (DS00233)
provides solder reflow recommendations 
• 
Do not exceed peak temperature (T
P
) of 250 deg C 
• 
Refer to the solder paste data sheet for specific reflow profile recommendations 
• 
Use no-clean flux solder paste 
• 
Do not wash as moisture can be trapped under the shield 
• 
Use only one flow.  If the PCB requires multiple flows, apply the module on the final flow.

Soldering Recommendations 
Stereo  module  was  assembled  using  standard  lead-free  reflow  profile  IPC/JEDEC  J-STD-020.
The 
module can be soldered to the main PCB using standard leaded and lead-free solder reflow profiles.
To 
avoid damaging of the module, the recommendations are listed as follows: 
• 
Refer to Microchip Technology Application Note AN233 Solder Reflow Recommendation (DS00233)
for the
 soldering reflow recommendations 
• 
Do not exceed peak temperature (TP) of 250 degree C 
• 
Refer to the solder paste data sheet for specific reflow profile recommendations 
• 
Use no-clean flux solder paste 
• 
Do not wash as moisture can be trapped under the shield 
• 
Use only one flow.  If the PCB requires multiple flows, apply the module on the final flow.
