1.3 HCI Interface
Bluetooth v2.1 specification compliant
HCI UART transport layer (H4)
Amp’ed RF modules support UART, I2C, SPI, and GPIO hardware interfaces. Please note that the
usage of these interfaces is dependent upon the firmware that is loaded into the module, and is
beyond the scope of this document. The AT command interface uses the main UART by default.
Notes
All unused pins should be left floating; do not ground.
All GND pins must be well grounded.
The area around the antenna should be free of any ground planes, power planes, trace
routings, or metal for at least 6 mm in all directions.
Traces should not be routed underneath the module.
4.1 Module Reflow Installation
The BT24 is a surface mount Bluetooth module supplied on a 22 pin, 4-layer PCB. The final
assembly recommended reflow profiles are:
For RoHS/Pb-free applications, Sn96.5/Ag3.0/Cu0.5 solder is recommended.
Maximum peak temperature of 230° - 240°C (below 250°C).
Maximum rise and fall slope after liquidous of < 2°C /second.
Maximum rise and fall slope after liquidous of < 3°C /second.
Maximum time at liquidous of 40 – 80 seconds.
4.2 GPIO Interface
All GPIOs are capable of sinking and sourcing 4mA of I/O current.
4.3 UART Interface
The UART is compatible with the 16550 industry standard. Four signals are provided with the UART
interface. The TXD and RXD pins are used for data while the CTS and RTS pins are used for flow
control.
This module has been tested and found to comply with the FCC Part15 and IC RSS-210 rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
approved installations. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Modifications or changes to this equipment not expressly approved by Amp’ed RF Technology
may void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
5.1 Modular Approval, FCC and IC
