It is compatible with the Arduino UNO R3 connector layout, and is designed around BlueNRG, a Bluetooth low energy, low power network coprocessor compliant with BTLE 4.0 and the BALF-NRG-01D3, an ultra-miniature balun optimized for ST BlueNRG RF IC, which integrates matching network and harmonics filter. The XNUCLEO-IDB04A1 interfaces with the STM32 MCU via SPI pin, and the user can change the default SPI clock, the SPI chip select and SPI IRQ by changing one resistor on the evaluation board.

To function correctly, the STM32 Nucleo board must be connected to the X-NUCLEO-IDB04A1 board as shown in Figure 3 below. Figure 3. X-NUCLEO-IDB04A1 plugged to STM32 Nucleo board *63*6* The interconnection between the STM32 Nucleo and the X-NUCLEO-IDB04A1 has been designed to permit the use of any STM32 Nucleo board, although the optimal combination is obtained using the NUCLEO-L152RE or NUCLEO-L053R8 hosting the ultra-low power STM32. 4/14 DocID026346 Rev 5 UM1765 1.2 Board description and getting started System requirements Using the Nucleo boards with the X-NUCLEO-IDB04A1 expansion board requires the following software and hardware: • a Windows PC (XP, Vista, 7, 8) to install the software package • a USB type A to Mini-B USB cable to connect the Nucleo to the PC Installation of the board firmware package (order code: X-CUBE-BLE1) and the BlueNRG graphical user interface utility on the user’s PC requires the following: • At least 128 MB of RAM • 40 MB of hard disk space available The X-CUBE-BLE1 firmware and related documentation is available on www.st.com. DocID026346 Rev 5 5/14 14 Hardware description 2 UM1765 Hardware description This section describes the X-NUCLEO-IDB04A1 features and provides information which could be useful for understanding the board schematics. 2.1 X-NUCLEO-IDB04A1 board The board allows the user to test the functionality of the BlueNRG processor. It hosts the innovative BALF-NRG-01D3 balun & harmonic filter and its functionality can be exploited using the firmware package contained in the X-CUBE-BLE1. It is fundamental to program the microcontroller on the STM32 Nucleo board. Please refer to user manuals UM1724 and UM1725, available on www.st.com. The BlueNRG processor and the STM32 Nucleo board are connected through connectors CN5, CN6, CN8 and CN9 (see Table 1 for details). The pins indicated with an asterisk (*) represent an alternative pin for that specific function, i.e. SPI_IRQ could be moved from CN8.1 to CN5.2.

Since the power consumption of BlueNRG during most of its operating time is very low, an accurate instrument in the range of few µA may be required.
