BMD-200 V0.1 PRELIMINARY Page Page 1 of 9 Rigado LLC 2601 25th ST SE Suite 200 Salem, Oregon 97302 866-6-RIGADO  (f) 971-208-9869 Blumod BMD-200 Module for Bluetooth 4.0 LE The blumod BMD-200 from Rigado is a powerful, highly flexible Bluetooth Smart module based on the nRF51822 SoC from Nordic Semiconductor. With a ARM® Cortex™ M0 CPU, embedded 2.4GHz transceiver, and on-module chip antenna, the BMD-200 provides a complete RF solution with no additional RF design, allowing faster time to market. The BMD-200 provides full use of the nRF51822’s on-chip peripherals, allowing for a wide range of applications without the need for an external host microcontroller; simplifying designs and reducing BOM costs. With an internal DC-DC converter and a voltage supply range of 2.1V to 3.6V, the BMD-200 can be powered directly from a coin cell or two AAA batteries with ultra-low power consumption.

Maximum number of high drive strength pins is 3. Clocks The BMD-200 module requires two clocks, a high frequency clock and a low frequency clock. The high frequency clock is provided internally by a high-accuracy 16-MHz crystal as required by the nRF51822 for radio operation. The low frequency clock can be provided internally by an RC oscillator or synthesized from the fast clock; or externally by a 32.768 kHz crystal. An external crystal provides the lowest power consumption.

Operation is subjected to the following two conditions: (1) This device may no cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Note: Modification to this product will void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. Note: Modification to this product will void the users’ authority to operate this equipment. FCC Important Notes: (1) FCC Radiation Exposure Statement This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This transmitter should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 Centimeter between the radiator and your body and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This equipment complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject 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 undesired operation.
BMD-200 V0.1 CONFIDENTIAL Page 9 of 9 The devices must be installed and used in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions as described in the user documentation that comes with the product. Modular could be only used in mobile or fix device, and could not be used in any portable device. Caution! The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modification could void the user authority to operate the equipment. (2) Co-location Warning: This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. (3) OEM integration instructions： This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions： The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and the transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmit or antenna. The module shall be only used with the integral antenna(s) that has been originally tested and certified with this module. As long as 3 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirement with this module installed(for example, digital device emission, PC peripheral requirements, etc.) (4) OEM integration instructions： In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configuration or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization for this module in combination with the host equipment is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID of the module cannot be used on the final product. In these and circumstance, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating. The end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
