BL600-Sx
Single Mode BLE Module
Application Areas

1 OVERVIEW AND KEY FEATURES

Every BL600 Series module is designed to enable OEMs to add single-mode Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to small, portable, power –conscious devices. The BL600 modules are enabled with Laird’s smartBASIC, an event-driven programming language that enables OEMs to make their BLE product development quicker, and simpler, significantly reducing time to market. SmartBASIC enables customers to develop a complete embedded application inside the compact BL600 hardware, connecting to a wide array of external sensors via its I2C, SPI, UART, ADC or GPIO interfaces.
Based on the world-leading Nordic Semiconductor nRF51822 chipset, the BL600 modules provide ultra-low power consumption with outstanding wireless range via 4dBm of transmit power. A broad range of BLE profiles including Temperature and Heart Rate are available and smartBASIC provides the ideal mechanism to support any BLE profile development of your choice.

Notes: 1. Secondary function is selectable in smartBASIC BASIC application
2. DIO = Digital Input or Output
3. AIN = Analog Input
4. DIO or AIN functionality is selected using the GpioSetFunc() function in smartBASIC
5. AIN configuration selected using GpioSetFunc() function
6. I2C, UART, SPI controlled by xxxOPEN() functions in smartBASIC
7. SIO_21 to SIO_24 are DIO by default when $autorun$ app runs on power up.
SIO lines can be configured through smartBASIC to be either inputs or outputs with weak or strong pull­ups or pull-downs.
At reset, all SIO lines are configured as the defaults shown above. In other words, BL600 module shipped form production the loaded base FW, all the SIO pins (with “default function” of “DIO” are inputs).
UART_RX, UART_TX, UART_CTS are all 3.3 v level logic. For example, when RX and TX are idle they will be sitting at 3.3V. Conversely for handshaking pins CTS and RTS at 0v is treated as an assertion.
Pin 40 (nAutoRUN) is an input, with active low logic. In the development kit (DVK-BL600-sx) it is connected so that the state is driven by the host’s DTR output line.

Note 1: In Standby Doze, all functional blocks independently are in IDLE or RUN mode
depending on needed functionality. All peripherals that are enabled stay on and may wake the chip again. Depending on active peripherals, current consumption will be from ~2-3 µA up to > 1 mA. See individual peripherals current consumption in Table xx on page.
Note 2: In Deep Sleep everything is disabled and the only wake-up sources are reset and
change on pins on which sense is enabled. The current consumption is ~1000nA to 1200nA (in current Nordic silicon). Current base FW ((v1.1.50.0) allows coming out of
