Based on the market-leading Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR) BC04 chipset, BT740 modules provide exceptionally low power consumption with outstanding Class 1 range via 18 dBm of transmit power. The modules support the latest Bluetooth Version 2.1 specification, including Secure Simple Pairing (SSP), which improves security and enhances the ease of use for end customers. A broad range of Bluetooth profiles such as Serial Port Profile (SPP) and other vital features make BT740 modules superior to other Bluetooth modules. With a compact footprint of 15.29 x 28.71 mm, the modules deliver maximum range with a minimum size. To ease integration, the modules are designed to support a separate power supply for I/O. Another integration advantage is the inclusion of a complete Bluetooth protocol stack with support for multi-point connections and numerous Bluetooth profiles, including SPP, Human Interface Device (HID) profile, and Health Device Profile (HDP). BT740 modules fully qualify as a Bluetooth End Products, enabling designers to integrate the modules in devices without the need for further Bluetooth qualification. An integrated AT command processor interfaces to the host system over a serial port using an extensive range of AT commands. The AT command set abstracts the Bluetooth protocol from the host application, saving many months of programming and integration time. It provides extremely short integration times for data-oriented Bluetooth applications. Included firmware provides programming support for multi-point applications that use up to seven simultaneous data connections to and from the robust BT740 module. A low-cost developer’s kit makes it easy for an OEM to integrate the module and guarantees the fastest route to prototype and then mass production.

Pins 2, 6, 32, and 33 (SPI related) are only for Laird internal production purposes. 3. Power-on-reset (power cycling and brown out consideration) – The reset circuitry within the BT740 module incorporates a brown-out detector; this may simplify power supply design. The BT430 reset line is an active low input (Input debounced so must be low for more than 5 ms to cause a reset). Upon the application of power, the Power On Reset circuit built into the module ensures that the unit starts correctly. There is no need for an external power reset monitor. 4. Power Supply Consideration – The power supply for the module should be a single voltage source of VCC within the VCC_IN range of 3.3 V to 5.0 V. It must be able to provide sufficient current in a transmit burst. This can rise to 200 mA. To limit dissipation, it is recommended that you use a voltage at the lower end of the range. 5. The module includes regulators to provide internal local 3.3 V. This rail is accessible on pin 13 for monitoring purposes only. Under no circumstances should this pin be used to source current. 6. Pins 7, 8, 9 and 10 (PCM related) are NOT supported in Firmware therefore are NC (No Connect) pins. 7. Add a 10 k pull-up to the host PCB on the UART_RX, otherwise the module will remain in deep sleep if not driven to high. Add a 10 k pull-down to the host PCB on the UART_CTS that if it is not connected (which we do not recommend) then the default state for UART_CTS input will be asserted which means can send data out of UART_TX line. 8. GPIO lines can be configured through software to be either inputs or outputs with weak or strong pullups or pull-downs. At reset, all GPIO lines are configured as inputs with weak pull-downs. 9. UART_RX, UART_TX, UART_CTS, UART_RTS, UART_RI, UART_DCD, and UART_DSR are 3.3 V level logic. For example, when RX and TX are idle they sit at 3.3 V. Conversely, for handshaking pins CTS, RTS, RI, DCD, and DSR, a 0 V is treated as an assertion. 10. Pin 28 (UART_RI) is active low. It is normally 3.3 V. When a remote device initiates a connection, this pin goes low. This means that when this pin is converted to RS232 voltage levels it has the correct voltage level for assertion. 11. Pin 17 (UART_DCD) is active low. It is normally 3.3 V. When a connection is live, this pin is low. This means that when this pin is converted to RS232 voltage levels it has the correct voltage level for assertion. 12. Pin 16 (UART_DSR) is an input, with active low logic. It should be connected to the DTR output of the host. When the BTM740 module is in high speed mode (see S Register (in AT mode) in the Firmware User manual), this pin should be asserted by the host to ensure that the connection is maintained. A deassertion means that the connection should be dropped or an online command mode is being requested. 13. Pin 13 (VCC_3V3 monitor) may only be used for monitoring purposes. It must not be used as a current source. 14. The GPIO pins can be accessed using S Registers in AT mode and a special command in MP mode. See the Firmware User manual for S-register required. 15. GPIO3 is also used for DTR output (active low). See the Firmware User manual for S-register required. 16. Analogue 0 and 1 should not exceed 1.8 V and see the Firmware User manual for S-register used to access them.

So to achieve 3.3 V for VCC_3V3_monitor (at Max Tx Power) requires VCC_IN of 3.5 V. IO voltage levels follows VCC_3V3_monitor. At minimum VCC_VIN of 3.3 V, the internal LDO generates 3.3 V but when Radio Tx at max Tx power, VCC_3V3_monitor drops a little (to ~3.15 V). 2.3.2.2 Signal Levels for Interface, GPIO (and SPI) Signal Type Input Signal level VILmin= -0.4V VILmax=0.8V VIHmin=2.3V VIHmax=3.7V Output Signal level at 0 mA load VOLmax=0.2V VOHmin=3.1V 2.3.2.3 UART Interface Signal Name UART_TX UART_RX UART_CTS UART_RTS UART_DSR UART_DTR Pin No 23 22 25 24 16 29 I/O O I I O I O Embedded Wireless Solutions Support Center: http://ews-support.lairdtech.com www.lairdtech.com/wireless Comments Shared with GPIO3 11 © Copyright 2015 Laird.

The three most significant factors are the voltage level at VCC, UART baud rate, and the operating mode. The hardware specification for the module allows for a voltage range of 3.3 to 5.0 at VCC. The unit includes a linear regulator and tests have shown that there is no significant difference in current draw when VCC changes within the operating limits. Tests have shown that where power dissipation is an issue, it is best to keep VCC at the lower end of the range. The UART baud rate has a bearing on power dissipation because, as is normal for digital electronics, the power requirements increase linearly with increasing clocking frequencies. Because of this, higher baud rates result in a higher current drain. The significant operating modes are: Idle Waiting for a connection Inquiring Initiating a connection Sniff Connected With connected mode, it is also relevant to differentiate between no data being transferred and when data is being transferred at the maximum rate possible. The AT command set document describes how to configure the module for optimal power performance. 3.2 Typical Current Consumption in mA Table 3-1: Current Consumption VCC_IN = 3.8 V, Baudrate = 9600 bps Separation Distance = 15 meters ( two BT740-SA) Idle Mode, S512=1 Wait for Connection Or Discoverable Mode, AT+BTP S508=S510=640, S509=S511=320 Wait for Connection Or Discoverable Mode, AT+BTP S508=S510=1000, S509=S511=11 Inquiry Mode, AT+BTI Typical Average Current (mA) Connecting Mode (ATDxxx) Connected Mode (No Data Transfer) 66 mA 6 mA Connected Mode (Max Data Transfer) Sniff Mode S564=1000, S563=500, S562=50, S561=10 35 mA 1.8 mA Embedded Wireless Solutions Support Center: http://ews-support.lairdtech.com www.lairdtech.com/wireless 1.25 mA 55 mA 2.7 mA 65 mA 13 © Copyright 2015 Laird.

The integrated, high performance antenna, together with the RF and base-band circuitry provides the Bluetooth link and the UART interface provides a connection to the host system. The variety of interfaces and the AT command set allow the BT740 module to be used for a wide number of long range wireless applications, from simple cable replacement to complex multipoint applications, where multiple radio links are active at the same time. The complexity and flexibility of configuration are made simple for the design engineer by the integration of an extremely comprehensive set of AT commands, supplemented with a range of “S” registers which are used for non-volatile storage of system parameters. To provide the widest scope for integration a range of different physical host interfaces are provided. 4.1 UART Interface UART_TX, UART_RX, UART_RTS, and UART_CTS form a conventional asynchronous serial data port with handshaking. The interface is designed to operate correctly when connected to other UART devices such as the 16550A. The signaling levels are nominal 0 V and 3.3 V, and are inverted with respect to the signaling on an RS232 cable. The interface is programmable over a variety of bitrates: no, even, or odd parity; stop bit; and hardware flow control. The default condition on power-up is pre-assigned in the external flash. UART_RTS and UART_CTS implement two-way hardware flow control. UART_RTS is an output and is active low. UART_CTS is an input and is active low. These signals operate according to normal industry convention. UART_RX, UART_TX, UART_CTS, UART_RTS, UART_RI, UART_DCD, and UART_DSR are all 3.3 V level logic. For example, when RX and TX idle, they sit at 3.3 V. Conversely for handshaking pins CTS, RTS, RI, DCD, and DSR, a 0 V is treated as an assertion. By writing different values to the relevant S register the UART_RI can continuously poll to detect incoming communication. The UART_RI signal serves to indicate incoming calls. UART_DSR is an active low input. It should connect to the DTR output of the host. When the module runs in high speed mode (see definition of the required S-register in the Firmware User manual), this pin should assert by the host to ensure a connection maintains. A de-assertion means that the connection should be dropped, or an online command mode is being requested. The module communicates with the customer application using the following signals: Port /TXD of the application sends data to the module’s UART_RX signal line Port /RXD of the application receives data from the module’s UART_TX signal line BT740 Application - Host UART_TX /RXD UART_RX /TXD UART_CTS /RTS UART_RTS /CTS UART_DSR /DTR UART_DTR /DSR Embedded Wireless Solutions Support Center: http://ews-support.lairdtech.com www.lairdtech.com/wireless 14 © Copyright 2015 Laird. All Rights Reserved Americas: +1-800-492-2320 Europe: +44-1628-858-940 Hong Kong: +852 2923 0610 BT740 Datasheet Note: The serial module output is at 3.3 V CMOS logic levels. Level conversion must be added to interface with an RS232 level compliant interface. Some serial applications link CTS and RTS to remove the need for handshaking. Laird doesn’t recommend linking CTS and RTS other than for testing and prototyping. If these pins link and the host sends data at the point that the BT740 deasserts its RTS signal, there is significant risk that internal receive buffers will overflow and cause an internal processor crash. This also leads to a connection drop and may require a power cycle to reset. Laird recommends you follow the correct CTS/RTS handshaking protocol for proper operation. 4.2 SPI Bus The module is a slave device that uses terminals SPI_MOSI, SPI_MISO, SPI_CLK, and SPI_CSB. This interface is used for program firmware updates ONLY at the factory. Laird supplies a PC-based utility to allow a firmware upgrade over the UART port. Laird highly recommends that customers use this method for updating firmware. Note: 4.3 The designer should be aware that no security protection is built into the hardware or firmware associated with this port, so the terminals should not permanently connect in a PC application. PCM Interface PCM is not supported in Firmware. PCM interface (PCM_OUT, PCM_IN, PCM_CLK, and PCM_SYNC) exists in HW only. 4.4 General Purpose I/O and ADC 4.4.1 GPIO Seven lines of programmable bi-directional input/outputs (I/O) are provided that can be accessed either via the UART port or Over-the-Air (OTA) from a second Bluetooth unit. These can be used as data inputs or to control external equipment. By using these in OTA mode, a BT740 module can be used for control and data acquisition without the need for any additional host processor. Each of the GPIO[3:9] ports can be independently configured to be either an input or output. A selection of ports can be accessed synchronously. The ports are powered from internal VCC_3V3. The mode of these lines can be configured and the lines are accessed via S Registers (see the Firmware User manual). 4.4.2 ADC The BT740 provides access to two 8-bit ADCs (Analogue 0 and 1). These provide an input range of 0 mV to 1,800 mV, which are read using the S registers (see the Firmware User manual). Suitable external scaling and over-voltage protection should be incorporated in your design. The module provides five samples per second at the UART with a baud rate of 115,200 or above. 4.5 BT740-SA On-board Chip Antenna Characteristics The BT740-SA on-board chip monopole antenna radiated performance depends on the host PCB layout. BT740 carrier board was used for BT740-SA development and antenna performance evaluation. To obtain similar performance, follow the guidelines in PCB Layout on Host PCB for BT740-SA to allow the on-board antenna to radiate and reduce proximity effects due to nearby host PCB GND copper or metal covers.

Checklist (for the schematic): 5.2 VCC_IN – External power source within the operating range specification of BT740-Sx. Add decoupling (or bulk) capacitors for filtering (or reservoir) the external source. Power-on reset circuitry within BT740-Sx series module incorporates brown-out detector, thus simplifying power supply design. Upon application of power, the internal power-on reset ensures module starts correctly. AIN (ADC) and GPIO (or UART) pin IO voltage levels – BT73-Sx GPIO voltage levels are at 3.3V (see Notes). Electrical Specifications. Ensure input voltage levels into GPIO pins are at 3.3V voltage levels. Ensure ADC pin maximum input voltage (1.8 V) for damage is not violated. UART – Required. Add connector to allow UART to be interfaced to PC (via UART –RS232 or UART- USB). UART_RX and UART_CTS – Add a 10 k pull-up to the host PCB on the UART_RX, otherwise the module remains in deep sleep if not driven to high. The pull-up prevents the module from going into deep sleep when UART_RX line is idling. Add a 10 k pull-down to the host PCB on the UART_CTS that, if it is not connected (which we do not recommend) then the default state for UART_CTS input will be asserted which means can send data out of UART_TX line. nRESET pin (active low) – Hardware reset. Wire out to push button or drive by host. If used, the external reset must be exerted for a minimum of 5 mS. By default, the module is out of reset when power is applied to the VCC_IN pin. PCB Layout on Host PCB - General Checklist (for PCB): MUST locate the BT740-SA module close to the edge of PCB (mandatory for BT740-SA for on-board chips antenna to radiate properly). Use solid GND plane on inner layer (for best EMC and RF performance). Place GND vias as close to module GND pads as possible. Unused host PCB area on surface layer can be flooded with copper but place GND vias regularly to connect copper flood to inner GND plane. If GND flood copper underside the module then connect with GND vias to inner GND plane. Route traces to avoid noise being picked up on VCC_IN supply, Analogue and GPIO (digital) traces. Ensure there is no exposed copper on the underside of the module (refer to land pattern drawing of BT740Sx).

It is critical to locate the BT740-SA on the edge of the host PCB (or corner) to allow the antenna to radiate properly. Refer to guidelines in the section PCB Land Pattern and Antenna Keep-out area for BT740-SA. Some of the guidelines are repeated below. Ensure there is no copper in the antenna keep-out area on any layers of the host PCB. Keep all mounting hardware and metal clear of the area to allow proper antenna radiation. For best antenna performance, place the BT740-SA module on the edge of the host PCB, preferably in the corner with the antenna facing the corner. An example shown in Figure 5-1. A different host PCB thickness dielectric will have small effect on antenna (the BT740 carrier development board (used for antenna performance evaluation) thickness was 0.78 mm). The antenna-keep-out defined in PCB Land Pattern and Antenna Keep-out area for BT740-SA applies when the BT740-SA is placed in the corner of the host PCB. When BT740-SA cannot be placed as such, you must place it on the edge of the host PCB and use a modified antenna keep out. This antenna keep-out modification is shown in Figure 5-2 (antenna keep-out is extended by 8 mm on both sides). Figure 5-1: BT740-SA placement in the corner of host PCB. Figure 5-2: BT740-SA placement in the edge (not corner) of host PCB (with modified antenna keep-out). Note: Copper cut-away on all layers in “antenna keep-out” area under BT740-SA module on host PCB. Refer to “antenna keep-out” defined in 6.4 PCB Land Pattern and Antenna Keep-out for BT740-SA.

Minimum safe distance for metals without seriously compromising the antenna (tuning) is 40 mm top/bottom and 30 mm left or right. Metal close to the BT740-SA chip monopole antenna (bottom, top, left, right, any direction) will have degradation on the antenna performance. The amount of degradation is entirely system dependent which means some testing by customer is required (in their host application). Anything metal closer than 20 mm starts to significantly degrade performance (S11, gain, radiation efficiency). It is best that the customer tests the range with a mock-up (or actual prototype) of the product to assess effects of enclosure height (and material, whether metal or plastic).

Figure 6-4: PCB Land Pattern and Antenna Keep-out for BT740-SA APPLICATION NOTES 1. Ensure there is no copper in the antenna ‘keep out area’ on any layers of the host PCB. Also keep all mounting hardware or any metal clear of the area to reduce effects of proximity detuning the antenna and to help antenna radiate properly. Refer to section 5.3.2 for more information. 2. For BT740-SA (with on-board chip antenna) best antenna performance, the module BT740-SA must be placed on the edge of the host PCB, preferably in the corner with the antenna facing the corner (see Figure 5-1). The module is placed in the corner of host PCB above the keep-out area. If the BT740-SA is placed on the edge instead, the keep-out area must be modified (see Figure 5-2 in section 5.3.1). 3. Ensure that there is no exposed copper under the module on the host PCB. 4. The user may modify the PCB land pattern dimensions based on their experience and capability.

Reference FCC Part 15.204(c)(4) for further information on this topic. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and gain should be chosen so that the equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that permitted for successful communication. Power Exposure Information In general, there are two agency classifications for RF radiation exposure in wireless applications: mobile and portable. Mobile – A mobile device is a transmitting device designed in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 cm is normally maintained between the transmitter's radiating structures and the body of the user or nearby persons. The BT740 is fully modular approved for mobile and fixed applications (reference FCC Part 2.1091 for further details on mobile devices). This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Portable – Portable is a classification of equipment where the user, in general, is within 20 cm of the transmitting antenna. Portable equipment is further broken down into two classes: within 2.5 cm of human contact and beyond 2.5 cm. The BT740 does not hold a portable approval classification due to its peak output power and modular approval restrictions. Customers who want to use the BT740 in portable applications require further RF evaluation. Contact a qualified test house or a Laird representative for further information on this topic (reference FCC Part 2.1093 for further details on portable devices). Maximum Permissible Exposure report was created and shows the minimum distances for Public and Occupational use of the BT740.
