It addresses hardware specifications of the BlueMod+S/AI and requirements of the hardware environments for the BlueMod+S/AI. Notation: The term BlueMod+S refers to the BlueMod+S/AI and is used as an abbreviation. For detailed information about software interfaces refer to [5].
Stollmann’s Terminal I/O profile, which allows transparent data transfer over UART and supports Secure Simple Pairing, making the pairing process easy and the connection secure. Terminal I/O is available for iOS and Android as well as implemented in Stollmann’s dual mode module BlueMod+SR.
BlueMod+S/AI Hardware Reference 3 Application Interface 3.1 Power Supply BlueMod+S require a power supply with the following characteristics: Typical: 3,0V , min.: 1,8V , max.: 3,6V , thereby delivering > 25 mA peak BlueMod+S is designed to be powered from 3V coin cell batteries e.g. CR2032 directly, or any other power source complying with the given requirements.
BlueMod+S/AI Hardware Reference 3.3 Reset BlueMod+S are equipped with circuitry for generating power-up reset from the supply voltage VSUP, as well as brownout detection. During power-up, reset is kept until the supply voltage VSUP has reached the minimal operating voltage. VSUP risetime has to comply with Table 1 for power-up reset to function properly. A reset is also generated when VSUP falls below the threshold of the brownout detector (1,6V ..
BlueMod+S/AI Hardware Reference 3.4 Serial Interface The serial interface of BlueMod+S is a high-speed UART interface supporting RTS/CTS flow control and interface-up/down mechanism according to the UICP+ protocol (refer to [3] ). Electrical interfacing is at CMOS levels (defined by VSUP; see chapter 5.5.1).
BlueMod+S/AI Hardware Reference 3.4.1 3-Wire Serial Interface When using only GND and UART-RXD, UART-TXD serial lines, leave UART-RTS# and UART- CTS# open. Note: It is strongly recommended to use hardware flow control. Not using flow control can cause a loss of data.

3.8 Bluetooth Radio Interface The BlueMod+S/AI presents an integrated ceramic antenna. It is highly recommended that you follow the design rule given in the Stollmann Application Note on Antenna design [4]. subject to firmware support, contact Stollmann for current status www.stollmann.de...
BlueMod+S/AI Hardware Reference 3.9 Slow Clock Interface Even though an external slow clock is not required for BLE operation, consumption of power during power-down modes can be reduced by feeding the module with an optional 32,768 kHz slow clock at pin XL-IN/SLCK, or connecting an XTAL (32,768kHz) and two capacitors C1, C2 at pins XL-IN and XL-OUT.
BlueMod+S/AI Hardware Reference 3.9.3 Connection of an External 32,768 kHz Crystal Connect the 32,768 kHz crystal and two capacitors C1, C2 at pins A-6 (XL-IN/SLCK) and A-5 (XL- OUT). The crystal has to comply with specifications given in Table 1. The exact value of C1 and C2 depends on the crystal and the stray capacitance of the layout.
BlueMod+S/AI 3.11 Operating in a Power-Switched Environment A potential "back feeding" problem may arise, if the module is operated in an environment where its power supply (VSUP) is switched off by the application. This might be done to save some power in times Bluetooth is not needed.
BlueMod+S/AI 4.3 Handling of Unused Signals Depending on the application, not all signals of BlueMod+S may be needed. The following list gives some hints how to handle unused signals. • EXT-RES# If no external Reset is needed: Leave open •...
BlueMod+S/AI 5 Electrical Characteristics 5.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “Electrical Requirements” is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

BlueMod+S/AI 6.3 Re-flow Temperature-Time Profile The data here is given only for guidance on solder and has to be adapted to your process and other re-flow parameters for example the used solder paste. The paste manufacturer provides a re- flow profile recommendation for his product.
To achieve best radio performance for BlueMod+S/AI, it is recommended to use the placement shown in Figure 17. This is a “corner placement” meaning the BlueMod+S/AI is placed such that the antenna comes close to the corner of the application PCB (red area). So, the yellow area is outside the PCB and regards to the housing, too (refer to 6.5).
BlueMod+S/AI 7 Application Diagram The following schematic shows a typical application of BlueMod+S. The module is connected to some MCU running the application layer. MCU and BlueMod+S use the same 3,3V power supply. The serial interface has RTS/CTS flow control and UICP support in this example. The optional hangup feature to close down the link is provided.
BlueMod+S/AI 8 Approvals/Certifications The BlueMod+S/AI has been tested to comply to the appropriate EU, FCC and IC directives. CE testing is intended for end products only. Therefore CE testing is not mandatory for a Bluetooth Module sold to OEM’s. However Stollmann E+V GmbH provides CE tested Modules for customers in order to ease CE compliance assessment of end products and to minimize test effort.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 8.2.5 FCC RF-exposure Statement The BlueMod+S/AI complies with the FCC/IC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
