AMS00x • Embedded Bluetooth Low Energy Solution General Description, Section 1 ADS-MS00x-100D4 • Preliminary Data Sheet Page | 1 ©2014 ACKme Networks. http://ack.me October 22, 2014 1 General Description The family of AMS00x modules from ACKme Networks is based on an ultra-low power Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth Smart) SoC from Broadcom Corporation. All modules incorporate serial-flash memory and a printed antenna to provide a state-of-the-art fully-certified Bluetooth 4.1 solution. An integrated solution avoids difficult RF layout and enables designers to rapidly embed Bluetooth Low En-ergy into virtually any device. Modules ship with ACKme TruConnect, an easy-to-use application enabling control and configuration via a UART-serial interface. TruConnect virtually eliminates difficult and time-consuming software development effort and vastly reduces product development cycles. If required, custom applications may also be developed using the Broadcom WICED Smart Software Develop-ment Kit. With dimensions of just 17.6 x 11.4 mm, a wide tem-perature range, and an ultra-low power version, the module is suitable for integration into any battery-powered embedded wireless application. The Bluetooth Low Energy SoC from Broadcom is pur-pose-designed to support the entire spectrum of Blue-tooth Smart use cases for medical, home automation, accessory, sensor, retail and wearable market seg-ments. Superior receive sensitivity, an integrated RF transmit power amplifier and transmit/receive switch, along with the on-board antenna, provide extended range and full compatibility with all Bluetooth 4.1 de-vices. At the heart of all AMS00x modules is a Bluetooth Low Energy SoC with a high-performance ARM® 32-bit Cor-tex™-M3 core operating at a frequency of 48MHz. The SoC includes is configured to boot applications stored in the 512xkB serial flash memory available on-board the module. Each module provides an extensive array of I/O and peripheral interfaces. The following list of interfaces are available, many of which are accessible with I/O multi-plexing and alternate function capabilities.  8 x A/D converter channels  2 x 4-Wire UART interfaces  1 x SPI master/slave, 1 x SPI slave bus  1 x I2C interface  1 x Infrared Modulator / IR learning input  15 x ultra-low power wake inputs  32kHz crystal interface The module may be powered directly from a battery supply in the range 1.8-3.6V including 2xAAA, 2xAA, or a single Lithium coin cell. Internal power domains are automatically adjusted to minimise power dissipation based on user activity. Var-ious power modes, including an ultra-low power deep sleep mode, are provided to minimize total average power consumption and maximize battery life. The module may be woken from deep sleep mode by various events including a level transition on any GPIO, the UART or an internal timer. An internal 32kHz low-power oscillator is available by default for non-critical timing requirements. Applica-tions requiring an accurate real-time clock may connect an (optional) external 32kHz crystal. Application debugging with a software debugger such as gdb is enabled via a standard Serial Wire Debug in-terface. All versions of the module have Bluetooth BQB SIG cer-tification, and FCC & IC modular approval for use in the United States and Canada, and CE approval for use in Europe and other countries.

Figure 3. AMS00x Recommended Footprint (Top) 6.2 Routing Recommendations When designing a carrier board, the addition of ground fill directly underneath the module, rather than signal or power traces, is strongly advised. All ground pads adjacent to antenna pins must be connected to a solid ground plane. Failure to comply with these recommen-dations will almost certainly result in degraded perfor-mance of the radio receiver and/or transmitter.

AMS-00x • Embedded Bluetooth Low Energy Solution Regulatory Certification, Section 7 ADS-MS00x-100D4 • Preliminary Data Sheet Page | 11 ©2014 ACKme Networks. http://ack.me October 22, 2014 7 Regulatory Certification The AMS00x family of modules has been certified for operation in various regulatory domains. This section outlines certification information specific to the follow-ing countries and regions:  United States  Canada  Europe  Australia  New Zealand Should you require regulatory certification for the AMS00x module in a country or region not listed, please contact your local ACKme Networks sales office or cre-ate a support request via our website at http://ack.me/contact. 7.1 United States The ACKme Networks AMS-00x module has received Federal Communications Commission (FCC) CFR47 Tele-communications, Part 15 Sub-part C “Intentional Radia-tors” modular approval in accordance with Part 15.212 Modular Transmitter approval. Modular approval al-lows the end user to integrate the AMS-00x module into a finished product without obtaining subsequent and separate FCC approvals for intentional radiation, provided no changes or modifications are made to the module circuitry. 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 oper-ating conditions necessary for compliance. The finished product is required to comply with all ap-plicable FCC equipment authorization, regulations, re-quirements, and equipment functions not associated with the transmitter module portion. For example, compliance must be demonstrated to regulations for other transmitter components within the host product; to requirements for unintentional radiators (Part 15 Sub-part B “Unintentional Radiators”), such as digital devices, computer peripherals, radio receivers, etc.; and to additional authorization requirements for non-transmitter functions on the transmitter module (i.e. Verification, or Declaration of Conformity) (e.g., trans-mitter modules may also contain digital logic functions) as appropriate. Labeling and User Information Requirements The AMS-00x module has been labelled with a unique FCC ID number, and if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the out-side of the finished product into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the en-closed module. This exterior label can use wording as follows: The user manual for the product should include the fol-lowing statement: Contains FCC ID: 2ABPY-BB4EA 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 interference that may cause un-desired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to com-ply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursu-ant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are de-signed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate ra-dio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harm-ful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not oc-cur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or televi-sion 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 equip-ment and receiver.  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a cir-cuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
AMS-00x • Embedded Bluetooth Low Energy Solution Regulatory Certification, Section 7 ADS-MS00x-100D4 • Preliminary Data Sheet Page | 12 ©2014 ACKme Networks. http://ack.me October 22, 2014 Additional information on labeling and user information requirements for Part 15 devices can be found in KDB Publication 784748 available at the FCC Office of Engi-neering and Technology (OET) Laboratory Division Knowledge Database (KDB) at the following website: https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/index.cfm RF Exposure All transmitters regulated by FCC must comply with RF exposure requirements. OET Bulletin 65, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, provides assis-tance in determining whether proposed or existing transmitting facilities, operations or devices comply with limits for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) fields adopted by the Federal Communications Com-mission (FCC). The bulletin offers guidelines and sugges-tions for evaluating compliance. If appropriate, compliance with exposure guidelines for mobile and unlicensed devices can be accomplished by the use of warning labels and by providing users with information concerning minimum separation distances from transmitting structures and proper installation of antennas. The following statement must be included as a CAU-TION statement in manuals and OEM products to alert users of FCC RF exposure compliance: If the AMS-00x module is used in a portable application (i.e., the antenna is less than 20 cm from persons dur-ing operation), the integrator is responsible for per-forming Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing in ac-cordance with FCC rules 2.1091. External Antenna Modular approval in the United States is permitted with the use of the integrated antenna ONLY. If an external antenna is used with the AMS-00x module, additional testing of the end product is needed to meet FCC re-quirements. Further Information Additional information regarding FCC certification and use of the AMS-00x module in the United States is available from the following sources.  Federal Communications Commission (FCC) http://www.fcc.gov.au  FCC Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) Laboratory Division Knowledge Database (KDB) http://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/index.cfm 7.2 Canada The AMS-00x module has been certified for use in Can-ada under Industry Canada (IC) Radio Standards Specifi-cation (RSS) RSS-210 and RSSGen. Modular approval permits the installation of a module in a host device without the need to recertify the device. Labeling and User Information Requirements Labeling Requirements for the Host Device (from Sec-tion 3.2.1, RSS-Gen, Issue 3, December 2010): The host device shall be properly labeled to identify the module within the host device. The Industry Canada certification label of a module shall be clearly visible at all times when installed in the host device, otherwise the host device must be labeled to display the Industry Canada certification number of the module, preceded by the words “Contains transmit-ter module”, or the word “Contains”, or similar wording expressing the same meaning, as follows: User Manual Notice for License-Exempt Radio Appa-ratus (from Section 7.1.3 RSS-Gen, Issue 3, December 2010): User manuals for license-exempt radio appa-To satisfy FCC RF Exposure requirements for mobile and base station transmission devices, a separation distance of 20 cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during operation. To ensure compliance, operation at closer than this distance is not recommended. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter Contains transmitter module IC: 11685A-61F8D

User manuals for transmitters equipped with detach-able antennas shall also contain the following notice in a conspicuous location: Immediately following the above notice, the manufac-turer shall provide a list of all antenna types approved for use with the transmitter, indicating the maximum permissible antenna gain (in dBi) and required imped-ance for each. External Antenna Types Transmitter Antenna (from Section 7.1.2 RSS-Gen, Issue 3, December 2010): The AMS-00x module can only be operated with the on-board antenna with which it was approved without ad-ditional testing. If an external antenna is used with the AMS-00x mod-ule, additional testing of the end product is needed to meet IC requirements as described in the previous sec-tion. Further Information Additional information may be obtained from the In-dustry Canada website at http://www.ic.gc.ca This device complies with Industry Canada license-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'Indus-trie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux onditions suivantes: (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appa-reil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, meme si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Can-ada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Indus-trie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouil-lage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisa-teurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante. This radio transmitter (identify the device by certifi-cation number, or model number if Category II) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device. Le présent émetteur radio (identifier le dispositif par son numéro de certification ou son numéro de modèle s'il fait partie du matériel de catégorie I) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'an-tenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur.

The AMS-00x module has been tested to R&TTE Di-rective 1999/5/EC Essential Requirements for Health and Safety Article 3.1(a), Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Article 3.1(b), and Radio Article 3.2 and the re-sults are summarized in Table 11. A Notified Body Opin-ion has also been issued. All AMS-00x test reports are available on the ACKme Networks website at http://ack.me/contact. The R&TTE Compliance Association provides guidance on modular devices in the document titled Technical Guidance Note 01 available on the website at http://www.rtteca.com/html/download_area.htm. Labeling and User Information Requirements The label on the final product which contains the AMS-00x module must follow CE marking requirements. The R&TTE Compliance Association Technical Guidance Note 01 provides guidance on final product CE marking External Antenna Requirements From R&TTE Compliance Association document Tech-nical Guidance Note 01: Provided the integrator installing an assessed radio module with an integral or specific antenna and in-stalled in conformance with the radio module manufac-turer’s installation instructions requires no further evaluation under Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive and does not require further involvement of an R&TTE Di-rective Notified Body for the final product. [Section 2.2.4] The European Compliance Testing listed in Table 11 was performed using the AMS-00x on-board antenna. Further Information A document that can be used as a starting point in un-derstanding the use of Short Range Devices (SRD) in Europe is the European Radio Communications Com-mittee (ERC) Recommendation 70-03 E, which can be downloaded from the European Radio Communications Office (ERO) at: http://www.ero.dk.
