User should ensure a proper filtering of its power supply: a ferrite bead, connected to a shunt capacitor to the ground (10uF typically) is a good practice. 3.3 Clocking The module embeds a 26MHz for Bluetooth® Low Energy application. 3.4 Reset The module reset input is directly connected to the microcontroller, and pulled down (the module has an active high reset signal). To ensure a proper reset of the radio controller, the reset signal should remain high for at least 10ms.
