BLUETOOTH 5.0 LITE MODULE
HPN: PDK-R0010-SDE
Honeywell's Bluetooth 5.0 lite module and reusable block is an inexpensive and compact Bluetooth 5.0
solution. It is based on Nordic's nRF52832 chip.
KEY FEATURES
• nRF52832 Chip Cortex-M4f 32-bit, 64 MHz, 512kB flash, 64kB RAM
• Compact: 12mm by 12mm (0.472" by 0.472"). 12mm by 15mm with on board antenna
• $ Two layer PCB. Non HDI. 4.5mil minimum trace/gap
• $ 0402 or bigger caps & inductors
• $ Standard 8 and 12 mil vias. No microvias, no buried and no blind vias
• High and Low frequency crystals installed
• Type 2 NFC-A tag supported
• Connects to external antenna

RF CONNECTIVITY:
• All four Bluetooth 5 modes (central, peripheral, observer, broadcaster)
• ANT protocol
• Proprietary GFSK
• NFC-A
The stack is software defined and called Nordic SoftDevice.

PLACING MODULE ON HOST BOARD
Step 1: From DX designer, connect to xDM library
Step 2: Search, select and instantiate
Part 100-07142-REV2 is the footprint for all drop-in modules and includes pads and traces to 20
GPIOs:
Part PDK-R0010-RBX is a reusable block with the basic components

COEXISTANCE
Nordic continuously expands their coexistance capabilities. Please check the latest softdevice
documentation for the lat es t coexistance functions
The below Coexistance functions are implemented as of Nov 2017
COEXISTANCE: MUTING
The TX power can be reduced to -40dBm when required. (complete muting is not supported as of
Nov 17)
THROUGH SOFTDEVICE:
Call
sd_ble_gap_tx_power_set
sd_ble_gap_tx_power_set(4) to set the power to +4dBm
The above functions can be triggered by any event handler like a GPIO state
THROUGH REGISTER ACCESS
If you would like to bypass the stack, you can write directly to the register that configures the TX power
(-40) to set the power to -40dBm
