1 Description
The SPBT4.0DP is an easy to use Bluetooth Smart Ready module, compliant with Bluetooth
v4.0.
The module is among the smallest form factor available which provides a complete RF
platform. The SPBT4.0DP enables electronic devices with wireless connectivity, not
requiring any RF experience or expertise for integration into the final product. The
SPBT4.0DP module, being a certified solution, optimizes the time to market of the final
applications.
The module is designed for maximum performance in a minimal space including fast speed
UART and 8 general purpose I/O lines, several serial interface options, and up to 800 kbps
transmission speed with SPP service active, 250kbps with iAP2 service active.
Optimized design allows the integration of a complete working Bluetooth modem, including
antenna, in the minimum possible size; only an additional external LPO (low power
oscillator) is required to enable low power mode capability.

C and GPIO
hardware interfaces.
Note: - All unused pins should be left floating; do not ground.
• All GND pins must be well grounded.
• The area around the module should be free of any ground planes, power planes, trace
routings, or metal for 6 mm from the module antenna position, in all directions.
• Traces should not be routed underneath the module.
6.1 Reflow soldering
The SPBT4.0DP is a high temperature strength surface mount Bluetooth
®
module supplied on
an 18 pin, 6-layer PCB. The final assembly recommended reflow profiles are indicated here
below.
Soldering phase must be executed with care: in order to avoid undesired melting
phenomenon, particular attention must be paid to the set-up of the peak temperature.

may render void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
Modular approval
FCC ID: S9NSPBT40DP
In accordance with FCC part 15, the SPBT4.0DP is listed as a modular transmitter device.
This module is evaluated for stand-alone use only. Finished products incorporating multiple
transmitters must comply with colocation and RF exposure requirements in accordance with
FCC multi-transmitter product procedures. Collocated transmitters operating in portable RF
Exposure conditions (e.g. <20 cm from persons including but not limited to body worn and
hand held devices) may require separate approval.
7.1.1 Labeling instructions
When integrating the SPBT4.0DP into the final product, the OEM must ensure that the FCC
labeling requirements are satisfied. A statement must be included on the exterior of the final
product which indicates the product includes a certified module. The label should state the
following (or similar wording that conveys the same meaning):
Contains FCC ID: S9NSPBT40DP
OR
This product contains FCC ID: S9NSPBT40DP
The OEM must include the following statements on the exterior of the final product unless
the product is too small (e.g. less than 4 x 4 inches)This device 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 any interference that may
cause undesired operation.

7.1.2 Product manual instructions
This section applies to OEM final products containing the SPBT4.0DP module, subject to
FCC compliance. The final product manual must contain the following statement (or a similar
statement that conveys the same meaning):
Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. (Part. 15.21)
In the case where an OEM seeks Class B (residential) limits for the final product, the
following statement must be included in the final product manual:
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.
