3.2.5. Sports and Fitness In the sports and fitness segment the BlueMod+S42M is used in devices for positioning as well as monitoring vital data. Typical devices in this market are heart rate monitors, body temperature thermometers, pedometers, cadence meters, altimeter, positioning / GPS tracking and watches displaying information from sensors.
, max.: 3,6V , thereby delivering > 25 mA peak BlueMod+S42M is designed to be powered from 3V coin cell batteries e.g. CR2032 directly, or any other power source complying with the given requirements. For optimal performance, a stable supply is recommended. Furthermore, it is recommended to place a capacitor in parallel to the CR2032 3V coin cell battery in order to prolong battery lifetime, by compensating the effects of the rising source resistance of the battery to pulsed loads.
GPIO Reset signal is optional Reset-Switch is optional Please Note: EXT-RES# of BlueMod+S42M has a 20k (range 10k to 30k) internal pullup. Figure 4: BlueMod+S42M Example Reset The following table shows the pin states of BlueMod+S42M during reset active. Pin Name State: BlueMod+S42M Input with pull-up typ.
BlueMod+S42M Hardware User Guide Serial Interface The serial interface of BlueMod+S42M is a high-speed UART interface supporting RTS/CTS flow control and interface-up/down mechanism according to the UICP+ protocol (refer to [2]). Electrical interfacing is at CMOS levels (defined by VSUP; see chapter 6.4.1).

C bus interface serves as an interface between the internal microcontroller and the serial I C bus. BlueMod+S42M is the master and controls all I C bus specific sequencing, protocol and timing. It supports standard (100kHz) and fast (400kHz) speed modes. The...
3 perpendicular axes and thus senses tilt, motion, shock and vibration. Option: 3A Furthermore the BlueMod+S42M includes optional an humidity and temperature sensor that provides high accuracy measurements with very low power consumption. The capacitive-based sensor provides high accuracy measurement capability for a wide range of environmental monitoring applications and Internet of Things (IoT) such as smart thermostats, smart home assistants and wearables.
(DTM) is mandatory. The Direct Test Mode (as defined by the Bluetooth SIG) is part of the BlueMod+S42M. For enabling the test mode the BlueMod+S42M provides the Testmode# IO pin. This pin is low active, connect to GND to activate DTM.
