No external driver is needed. The IEEE 802.15.4 module has a small form factor and the interface layout is the same as the Bluetooth and Wireless LAN modules from connectBlue, which enables customers to prepare their device for both IEEE 802.15.4, Bluetooth and/or Wireless LAN.
802.15.4 OEM Module based on the hardware cB-0922-02. “-02” is the revision of the PCB. The product name of the module is cB-OZS311 and is used for referring to the module in this document. The type approval sections refer to the Hardware name cB-0922-02 and is also the name which is used in the type approval process.
Section 2.1 - Electrical Interface and Connectors.Overview 2 Electrical Interface and Connectors OVERVIEW This section describes the signals available on the module interface connectors.

RED: Logic Red LED Signal (see Chapter 3, Table 8). Active low. Mode: Not used on cB-OZS311. This pin is also used to select Logic level mode (instead of RS232) for connectBlue products with internal RS232 driver. To be compatible with these products check the datasheet for these products about this signal.

• We strongly recommend the modules not being soldered more than 1 time after shipping from connectBlue and that the modules are mounted just before the host product is being soldered the last time. Although, connectBlue devices will withstand up to two reflows to an absolute maximum temperature of 250°C.
Section 5.5 - Mounting Information.Antenna Issues ANTENNA ISSUES The unit cannot be mounted arbitrary, because of the radio communication. The unit with an internal surface mounted antenna (cB-OZS311i) cannot be mounted in a metal enclosure. No metal casing or plastics using metal flakes should be used, avoid also metallic based paint or lacquer.
Mats Andersson CTO of connectBlue AB If a cB-OZS311 is used within EU a notification must be made to each of the national authorities responsible for radio spectrum management of the intention to place radio equipment that uses frequency bands whose use is not harmonized throughout the EU, on its national market.

Section A.1 - Application Notes.Step-by-Step Guide Appendix A - Application Notes Usually only a subset of the available functionality is of interest to the designer. In addition, depending on the host system, the electrical interface can be designed in many ways. The designer can use the step-by-step guide in this chapter as an aid in the design process.
Section A.2 - Application Notes.Design Examples A.2 DESIGN EXAMPLES This section contains design examples for all interfaces on J2, J3, and J6. The connector type that suits a specific application depends on the needed signal and the preferred interface type (board-to-board or SMD).
Page 38
Section A.2 - Application Notes.Design Examples A.2.2 Serial Interface The serial interface of the module is Logic Level logic levels and the module can be connected to an external CPU (see section A.2.2.1). An external driver is needed if the module should be on another physical interface like RS232 (see section A.2.2.2 - A.2.2.3).
Page 39
Section A.2 - Application Notes.Design Examples A.2.2.2 External RS232 driver An external RS232 driver is needed if the module should have a RS232 serial interface. See Figure 14 for a complete design example that could be connected to the serial port of standard PC.
Page 40
Section A.2 - Application Notes.Design Examples A.2.2.3 External RS422 driver An external RS422 driver could be used in a point-to-point (full duplex) application (see Figure 15). Figure 15: A complete RS422 interface. Version 1.3 - 2009-12...

Section A.2 - Application Notes.Design Examples A.2.2.4 External RS422/RS485 transceiver Note: This function is currently not supported A complete RS422/RS485 transceiver design connected to a bus system need to control the en- able signals of the transceiver. The SerialSelect signals are used for this purpose (see Table 12). The module need to be software configured to the corrected interface, see the Serial Port Adap- ter AT Commands document how to configure the module to the correct serial interface.
Page 42
Section A.2 - Application Notes.Design Examples A.2.3 LED and Switch Design A.2.3.1 BLUE Signal The BLUE logic LED signal is not multiplexed with any other functionality, which makes the design more straightforward (for more information see Figure 17). There are two important notes: A blue LED requires about 3.5V forward voltage drop (cannot be used in a 3.3V system).
Page 43
The RED signal pin is also used to select Logic Level mode (instead of RS232) for connectBlue product with internal RS232 driver e.g. cB-OEMSPA312. The mode functionality is not applicable on cB-OZS311 because there is no internal RS232 driver available. To be compatible with these products check this signal in their Electrical and Mechanical datasheet.
Page 44
Note! The internal 20kΩ Ω Ω Ω pull-up is smaller than on previous product generations from connectBlue. This requires a smaller pull-down resistor (4.7kΩ Ω Ω Ω ) for a low state. If a LED is used and a switch is required to be able to restore the settings, a high impendence buffer need to prevent the signal from being pulled-up via the LED.

Section A.2 - Application Notes.Design Examples A.2.5 A Complete 5V Host System Interface This is a complete 5V host system interface example with an RGB LED and two switches (except the serial interface, see section A.2.2 for information). The design is based on the LM339 Quad OP-amp instead of logic gates.
