  • Page 4: Scope

    2.4 GHz (802.11b and 802.11g) and 5 GHz (802.11a) operation is +/- 20 ppm. The SSD40NBT has its own RF shielding and does not require shielding provided by the host device into which it is installed in order to maintain compliance with applicable regulatory standards. As such, the device may be tested in a standalone configuration via an extender card.

    Regulatory operational requirements are included with this document and may be incorporated into the operating manual of any device into which the SDC-SSD40NBT is installed. The SDC-SSD40NBT is designed for installation into mobile devices such as vehicle mount data terminals (which typically operate at distances greater than 20 cm from the human body) and portable devices such as handheld data terminals (which typically operate at distances less than 20 cm from the human body).

  • Page 21 VDDIO SDIO Command Ground 32k Ext Sleep Clock Note: The Broadcom BCM4329 (the core of the SSD40NBT) does CLK_32K not have an internal sleep clock. The SSD40NBT requires an external 32K sleep clock. Laird recommends the ECS-327KE or similar product.
  • Page 22: Ssd30Ag And Ssd40Nbt Pin Comparison Table

    Simply releasing SYS_RST_L and CHIP_PWD_L does not guarantee that the BCM4329 chip in the SSD40NBT module comes out of reset. Ensure that both VDD and VDDIO have been applied to the SSD40NBT for at least 110 ms before attempting to initiate SDIO communications. A slightly longer delay is better (safer).

  • Page 26: Mechanical Specifications

    When the BT radio is being used, the BT_RST_L line may be left floating (because there is a 10 K ohm pull-up resistor on this line inside the SSD40NBT SiP). If the BT_RST_L is coming from a GPIO from the host processor, then it may be easier (although not necessary) to assert a HIGH on this line, rather than making it an input.
  • Page 27: Mounting

    The SDC-SSD40NBT is a Quad Flat pack with No Leads (QFN) System in Package (SiP). Laird has mounted this device to a PCB with a host and antenna connectors and markets that radio module as the SDC-MSD40NBT.
