Using the CSR’s uEnergy platform, it enables ultralow power connectivity and basic data transfer for applications previously limited by the power consumption, size constraints and complexity of other wireless standards. It contains everything required to create a Bluetooth low energy product with RF, baseband, MCU, qualified Bluetooth V4.1 stack and customized firmware on a single module. The module can be power directly with a standard 3V coin cell batteries or pair of AAA batteries. In lowest power sleep mode it consumes only 600nA and will wake up in few hundred microseconds.

It can be easily powered up by connecting a 3V coin battery with a >100uF capacitor at pin VDD_BAT. Internal Antenna Figure 2. Capacitor at pin VDD_BAT The module integrates an on-board chip antenna. There’s no need to use external antenna on customer’s PCB. Please take precaution to leave ample clearance for the antenna (See Figure 6). PIO 9 PIOs are provided (4 are multiplexed with SPI debug interface). They are powered from VDD_PIO. PIO lines are software-configurable as weak pull-up, weak pull-down, strong pull-up or strong pull-down. Note: At reset all PIO lines are inputs with weak pull-downs. Any of the PIO lines can be configured as interrupt request lines or as wake-up lines from sleep modes. AIO 3 AIOs are provided. They can be connected to internal 10 bits ADC. Depending on the software, they can be used to read or output a voltage between 0V to 1.3V. Each of them can be also used as a digital output with special firmware. PWM PIO3, PIO4, PIO9, PIO10 can be driven by internal PWM module. The PWM module also works while the module is sleep. Therefore it can be used as a LED flasher. These functions are controlled by special firmwares. UART This module has a standard. UART interface which provides a simple mechanism for communicating with other serial devices using the RS232 protocol. The UART CTS and RTS signals can be assigned to any PIO pin by the on-chip firmware.

Any two PIOs can be configured as I2C_SCL and I2C_SDA. SPI Master The module can act as an SPI master (mode 0) when configured by software. Any four PIOs can be configured as SPI_CLK, SPI_CS#, SPI_DIN and SPI_DOUT. The clock rate of the software SPI is around 470kHz. SPI Debug The SPI Debug interface is chosen when SPI_PIO_SEL is high. The interface is used to program and debug the module. So always place test points or header on PCB for this interface and SPI_PIO_SEL.

ABBTM-NVC-MDCS71 is compatible with industrial standard reflow profile for Pb-free solders. The reflow profile used is dependent on the thermal mass of the entire populated PCB, heat transfer efficiency of the oven and particular type of solder paste used. Please refer to the datasheet of the particular solder paste for profile configurations. The following are recommended for soldering the module to ensure reliable solder joint and operation of the module after soldering. Since the profile used is process and layout dependent, the optimum profile should be studied case by case. Thus following recommendation should be taken as reference only. • Refer to technical documentations of particular solder paste for profile configurations • Avoid using more than one flow. • Reliability of the solder joint and self-alignment of the component are dependent on the solder volume. Minimum of 150µm stencil thickness is recommended. • Aperture size of the stencil should be 1:1 with the pad size. • A low residue, “no clean” solder paste should be used due to low mounted height of the component. REFLOW PROFILE Figure 5. Typical Lead-Free Reflow Solder Profile for ABBTM-NVC-MDCS71 Key features of the profile: ABRACON IS ISO 9001:2008 CERTIFIED • Initial Ramp = 1-2.5°C/sec to 175°C ±25°C equilibrium • Equilibrium time = 60 to 180 seconds • Ramp to Maximum temperature (250°C) = 3°C/sec max. • Time above liquidus temperature (217°C): 45-90 seconds • Device absolute maximum reflow temperature: 255°C LLC 2 Faraday, Suite# B | Irvine | CA 92618 Revised: 06.29.15 Ph. 949.546.8000 | Fax. 949.546.8001 Visit www.abracon.com for Terms and Conditions of Sale Low Power Bluetooth Module ABBTM- NVC-MDCS71 FCC ID: OC3BM1871 DC: 1326 ABBTM-NVC-MDCS71 Pb RoHS/RoHS II compliant RoHS 19.5 x 12.5 x 2.4 mm SMT | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PHYSICAL INTERFACES Layout Guideline . It is strongly recommended to use good layout practices to ensure proper operation of the module. Placing copper or any metal near antenna deteriorates its operation by having effect on the matching properties. Metal shield around the antenna will prevent the radiation and thus metal case should not be used with the module. Use grounding vias separated maximum 3 mm apart at the edge of grounding areas to prevent RF penetrating inside the PCB and causing an unintentional resonator. Use GND vias all around the PCB edges. Figure 4 illustrates recommended PCB design around the antenna of ABBTM-NVC-MDCS71 when the module is placed at the edge of a PCB. Do not place copper on the top layer under the module, as shown in Figure 6. The module has vias on the area shown, which can cause short circuit if there is copper underneath. Any metal placed closer than 20 mm in any direction from the antenna changes the matching properties and thus will considerably deteriorate the RF performance of the module. Figure 6.
