EM MICROELECTRONIC - MARIN SA EMBC01 Datasheet Bluetooth® Low-Energy Proximity Beacon General Description Features The EMBC01 is a Bluetooth Low-Energy proximity beacon suitable for mass deployment by system integrators. The EMBC01 advertises ID data that is compatible with common beacon standards (UUID, Major ID, and Minor ID). The EMBC01 is part of the coin-cell family of beacons which come in a small, weatherproof enclosure, using a standard coin-cell battery, or as a PCB panel. A push-button with LED feedback can be used to select the right operating mode for your deployment. The EMBC01 operating modes offer tradeoffs between the best performance, range, and battery lifetime. The push-button can be used to cycle through different beaconing modes. Modes for high performance and long battery life are available. The modes are: Sleep Mode with over 7 years of shelf life typical ID Short Range Mode offers 100ms beacon interval, 15m range line-of-sight (LOS), and 1.5 months of battery life typical ID Medium Range Mode offers 500ms beacon interval, 30m range, and 7.5 months of battery life typical ID Long Range Mode offers 1s beacon interval, 75m range, and 12.5 months of battery life typical Any mode can be locked for final deployment The EMBC01 can be delivered in any quantity with guaranteed unique ID numbers. A unique serial number is printed on the label and encoded in a QR code for optical scanning. Unlike most other beacons on the market today, the EMBC01 can’t be wirelessly hacked. The beacons come pre-programmed with a uniquely defined UUID, Major ID, and Minor ID and cannot be re-programmed wirelessly.

MECHANICAL PUSH BUTTON The push button is activated with a firm press. It is designed so that it cannot be activated accidentally. The push button is capable of short (<2 sec) and long (>2 sec) presses. Short presses are used to change modes. A long press is used to lock the present mode. LED The green and red LEDs are visible through the plastic enclosure under indoor lighting conditions. LEDs are used to indicate the operating mode of the beacon. 5. ELECTRICAL Typical values are generally stated at room temperature (T=25 oC) with a supply voltage of VCC=3.0V. HANDLING PROCEDURES AND ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS This device has built-in protection against high static voltages or electric fields; however, anti-static precautions must be taken as with any CMOS components. Unless otherwise specified, proper operation can only occur when all terminal voltages are kept within the specified voltage range. The absolute maximum ratings of the EMBC01 are listed in Table 2. Table 2: Absolute maximum ratings Parameter Min Max Supply Voltage VCC - VSS -0.3 Unit 3.8 V Stresses above these listed maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure beyond specified operating conditions may affect device reliability or cause malfunction GENERAL OPERATING CONDITIONS The general operating conditions of the EMBC01 are listed in Table 3.

FIRMWARE The following is a basic description of the EMBC01 firmware functionality. STATE MACHINE The state-diagram for the EMBC01-F401 is shown in Figure 5. The firmware implements the following modes: Self-test Sleep-mode ID Short Range Mode ID Medium Range Mode ID Long Range Mode Lock Mode Upon insertion of the battery, a self-test is performed, and the EMBC01 then enters a low-power sleep mode. On subsequent short button presses (less than 2 seconds), the green LED flashes once and iterates through ID Short Range Mode, ID Medium Range Mode, and ID Long Range Mode. On the next short button press, the red LED flashes once and then the EMBC01 enters the low power sleep mode again. Subsequent short presses iterates through these four modes again. In any state, if a long button press is performed (longer than 2 seconds), the green LED will flash twice and the EMBC01 will stay in that mode until the end of battery life.
