BMD-100 Module for Bluetooth 4.1 LE 
The BLUMOD BMD-100 is a Bluetooth Smart master/slave network 
processor module targeted for low-power sensors and accessories 
using the ultralow power STMicroelectronics BlueNRG-MS chipset.  
It integrates features required for a Bluetooth Smart application, 
including Bluetooth radio, software stack, and GATT/ATT-based 
access. The external host application processor, where the 
application resides, connects using SPI20.  This allows the best 
microcontroller for the application to be chosen and C based 
Bluetooth Low Energy profiles are available for compiling into your 
application.  
The module can be powered directly from a standard 3V coin cell 
battery or a pair of AAA batteries with a maximum input current of 
only 15 mA at the highest output power. On-module flash memory 
allows in the field Bluetooth low energy stack upgrades.

The application controller interface (ACI) uses a standard SPI slave interface as the transport 
Layer on five physical wires: 
 2 control wires (clock and slave select) 
 2 data wires with serial shift-out (MOSI and MISO) in full duplex 
 1 wire to indicate data availability from the slave  
All the SPI pins have an internal pull-down except for the SPI_CS that has a pull-up. All the SPI 
pins, except the SPI_CS, are in high impedance state during the low-power states. The SPI_IRQ pin 
requires an external pull-down resistor.

7.4. Clocks 
The BMD-100 integrates two low-speed frequency oscillators (LSOSC) and two high-speed  
(32 MHz) frequency oscillators (HSOSC).

The primary high frequency clock is a 32 MHz crystal oscillator. There is also a fast starting 12 MHz ring 
oscillator that provides the clock while the crystal oscillator is starting up. Frequency tolerance of the high-
speed crystal is ±30 ppm. 
The low frequency clock is used in Low Power mode and can be supplied either by a 32.7kHz oscillator that 
uses an external crystal and guarantees up to ±50 ppm frequency tolerance, or by a ring oscillator with 
maximum ±500 ppm frequency tolerance, which does not require any external components.

11. RF Design Notes 
11.1. Recommended RF Layout & Ground Plane 
The integrated ceramic chip antenna requires a suitable ground plane to radiate effectively. Reducing the 
ground plane from that shown in figure 7 will reduce the effective radiated power. 
The BMD-100 module should be placed at the edge of the ground plane with the antenna side towards the 
edge. Place a copper keep-out under the antenna (area shown in red). The area under the keep-out and 
extending out from the edge of the ground plane should be kept clear of copper and other metal. The BMD-
100 uses a Johanson Technology 2450AT07A0100 chip antenna.  Additional information on the antenna can be 
acquired from www.johansontechnology.com.

Figure 7- Recommended RF Layout 
11.2. Mechanical Enclosure 
Care should be taken when designing and placing the module into an enclosure. Metal should be kept clear 
from the antenna area, both above and below. Any metal around the module can negatively impact RF 
performance.  
The module is designed and tuned for the antenna and RF components to be in free air. Any potting, epoxy fill, 
plastic overmolding, or conformal coating can negatively impact RF performance and must be evaluated by 
the customer.

18. Cautions 
1) The guidelines of this document should be followed in order to assure proper performance of the 
module. 
2) This product is for use in office, business, and residential applications, but not medical devices. 
3) This module may short-circuit. If a short circuit can result in serious damage or injury then failsafe 
precautions should be used. This could be accomplished by redundant systems and protection circuits. 
4) Supply voltage to the module should not be higher than the specified inputs or reversed. Additionally 
it should not contain noise, spikes, or AC ripple voltage. 
5) Avoid use with other high frequency circuits. 
6) Use methods to eliminate static electricity when working with the module as it can damage the
