Rigado LLC 2601 25th ST SE Suite 200 Salem, Oregon 97302 866-6-RIGADO modules@rigado.com www.rigado.com/modules 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. 1.

Module Marking Figure 6 – Module Marking – Rev A 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 BMD100 uses a Johanson Technology 2450AT07A0100 chip antenna. Additional information on the antenna can be acquired from www.johansontechnology.com. BMD-100-DS-V0.5 PRELIMINARY Page 9 of 17 BMD-100 Module Datasheet Bluetooth 4.1 LE 1/5/2014 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. 11.3. Antenna Pattern TBD. 11.3.1.
