BGM13S Blue Gecko Bluetooth
Module Data Sheet
The BGM13S is Silicon Labs' first SiP module solution for Bluetooth 5.0 LE connectivity.
It supports 2 Mbps, 1 Mbps and coded LE Bluetooth PHYs. Also, with 512 kB of flash
and 64 kB of RAM, the BGM13S is suited to meet Bluetooth Mesh networking memory
requirements effectively.
Based on the EFR32BG13 Blue Gecko SoC, the BGM13S delivers robust RF perform-
ance, low energy consumption, a wide selection of MCU peripherals, regulatory test cer-
tificates for various regions and countries, and a simplified development experience, all
in a 6.5 × 6.5 mm package. Together with the certified software stacks and powerful
tools also offered by Silicon Labs, the BGM13S minimizes the area requirements, engi-
neering efforts and development costs associated with adding Bluetooth 5.0 or Bluetooth
Mesh connectivity to any product, accelerating its time-to-market.
The BGM13S is intended for a broad range of applications, including:
• Wearables
• IoT end-node devices and gateways
• Health, sports, and wellness
• Industrial, home, and building automation
• Beacons
• Smart phone, tablet, and PC accessories

  • Page 7: System Overview

    3.1 Introduction The BGM13S product family combines an energy-friendly MCU with a highly integrated radio transceiver and a high performance, ultra robust antenna. The devices are well suited for any battery operated application, as well as other system where ultra-small size, reliable high performance RF, low-power consumption and easy application development are key requirements.

    3.2.3 Packet and State Trace The BGM13S Frame Controller has a packet and state trace unit that provides valuable information during the development phase. It features: • Non-intrusive trace of transmit data, receive data and state information •...
  • Page 9: Power

    3.3 Power The BGM13S has an Energy Management Unit (EMU) and efficient integrated regulators to generate internal supply voltages. Only a single external supply voltage is required, from which all internal voltages are created. An integrated DC-DC buck regulator is utilized to further reduce the current consumption.
  • Page 10: Energy Management Unit (Emu)

    3.3.3 Power Domains The BGM13S has two peripheral power domains for operation in EM2 and EM3. If all of the peripherals in a peripheral power domain are configured as unused, the power domain for that group will be powered off in the low-power mode, reducing the overall current consumption of the device.
  • Page 11: Internal Oscillators And Crystal

    3.5.2 Internal Oscillators and Crystal The BGM13S fully integrates two crystal oscillators, four RC oscillators, and a 38.4 MHz crystal. • The high-frequency crystal oscillator (HFXO) and integrated 38.4 MHz crystal provide a precise timing reference for the MCU and radio.

    ® BGM13S Blue Gecko Bluetooth SiP Module Data Sheet System Overview 3.6.6 Pulse Counter (PCNT) The Pulse Counter (PCNT) peripheral can be used for counting pulses on a single input or to decode quadrature encoded inputs. The clock for PCNT is selectable from either an external source on pin PCTNn_S0IN or from an internal timing reference, selectable from among any of the internal oscillators, except the AUXHFRCO.
  • Page 13: Crypto Accelerator (Crypto)

    ® BGM13S Blue Gecko Bluetooth SiP Module Data Sheet System Overview 3.8.2 Crypto Accelerator (CRYPTO) The Crypto Accelerator is a fast and energy-efficient autonomous hardware encryption and decryption accelerator.

  • Page 99: Analog Port (Aport) Client Maps

    ® BGM13S Blue Gecko Bluetooth SiP Module Data Sheet Pin Definitions 7.4 Analog Port (APORT) Client Maps The Analog Port (APORT) is an infrastructure used to connect chip pins with on-chip analog clients such as analog comparators, ADCs, DACs, etc. The APORT consists of a set of shared buses, switches, and control logic needed to configurably implement the signal rout- ing.
  • Page 100 ® BGM13S Blue Gecko Bluetooth SiP Module Data Sheet Pin Definitions In general, enumerations for the pin selection field in an analog peripheral's register can be determined by finding the desired pin con- nection in the table and then combining the value in the Port column (APORT__), and the channel identifier (CH__). For example, if pin PF7 is available on port APORT2X as CH23, the register field enumeration to connect to PF7 would be APORT2XCH23.
