BluNor BT832X1 is a powerful, highly flexible, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) using Nordic nRF52832 SoC. With
an ARMCortex

TM

M4F MCU, available 512KB flash, 64KB RAM, embedded 2.4GHz multi-protocol transceiver,
power amplifier, and an integrated PCB trace antenna. It allows faster time to market with reduced
development cost.

For applications needing limited number of IO pins, prototyping and production are easier using 16 castellated
pins. Additional 24 LGA (Land Grid Array) pins provide access to 29 GPIOs of nRF52832.

Bluetooth 5 specifications allow reducing bandwidth to achieve up to 4X range while maintaining similar power
requirements. BT832X1s achieve longer range by superior antenna circuit and an external power amplifier, not
by reducing bandwidth.

1. Introduction

BluNor BT832X1 is powerful, highly flexible, ultra low power Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) modules using Nordic
nRF52832 SoCs. With an ARMCortex

TM

M4F MCU, available 512KB flash, 64KB RAM, embedded 2.4GHz
multi-protocol transceiver, power amplifier, and an integrated antenna, it allows faster time to market with
reduced development cost.

The following is a block diagram of BT832X1. Antenna circuit and main clock are integrated. All 32 GPIOs of
nRF52832 can be accessed from main board. For lower power consumption at idle state, an optional 32.768
kHz crystal can be on board. Connection to an external NFC (Near Field Communication) antenna is provided.

2. Codes Development Using Nordic Tools

Development tools by Nordic and other third party development tools recommended by Nordic should be
used .

Easy, fast and safe code development

Nordic development environment for nRF52832 offers a clean separation between application code
development and embedded protocol stacks. This means compile, link and run time dependencies with the
embedded stack and associated debugging challenges are removed. The Bluetooth low energy and ANT stack
is a pre-compiled binary, leaving application code to be compiled stand-alone. The embedded stack interface
uses an asynchronous and event driven model removing the need for RTOS frameworks.

Over-The-Air DFU

The nRF52832 is supported by an Over-The-Air Device Firmware Upgrade (OTA DFU) feature. This allows for
in the field updates of application software and SoftDevice.

SoftDevices

The Nordic protocol stacks are known as SoftDevices and complement the nRF52 Series SoCs. All nRF52

Series are programmable with software stacks from Nordic. This bring maximum flexibility to application

development and allows the latest stack version to be programmed into the SoC.

SoftDevices available from Nordic:

S132: Bluetooth low energy concurrent central/peripheral/observer/broadcaster stack.

Development Tools

Nordic Semiconductor provides a complete range of hardware and software development tools for the

nRF52 Series devices. nRF52 DK board is recommended for firmware development.

Nordic software development tools can be downloaded from the following webpage.

The following is a block diagram of Nordic nRF52832 Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) SoC.

The 32 bit ARM Cortex M4F MCU with hardware supports for DSP instructions and floating point operations,
code density and execution speed are higher than other Cortex M MCU. The Programmable Peripheral
Interconnect (PPI) system provides a 20-channel bus for direct and autonomous system peripheral
communication without CPU intervention. This brings predictable latency times for peripheral to peripheral

interaction and power saving benefits associated with leaving CPU idle. The device has 2 global power modes
ON/OFF, but all system blocks and peripherals have individual power management control which allows for an
automatic switching RUN/IDLE for system blocks based only on those required/not required to achieve
particular tasks.

The radio supports Bluetooth low energy. Output power is scalable from a maximum of +20dBm down to -4
dBm in 4dB steps.

Host PCB Layout Guidelines

For the best Bluetooth range performance, we recommend using library component extracted from EV BT840F
V3 Gerber files. It can be downloaded from http://www.fanstel.com/download-document/.

• There are 21 additional BT840F pins not used by BT832X1. These pins are in solid dark color below.

• As much ground plane under BT832X1, on top side of host PCB as possible. Use EV BT840F/EV

BT832X1 Gerber files as an example.

• We recommend 4 or more layers for the host PCB. The top side shall be mostly ground. Signal routing

shall be in the middle layers.

Mounting BT832X1 on the Host PCB

The following figure shows recommended mounting of BT832X1 module on the host PCB.

• For the best Bluetooth range performance, the antenna area of module shall extend 11.2 mm outside the

edge of host PCB board, or 11.2 mm outside the edge of a ground plane.

• Except required for pin connection, ground plane to cover top layer of main board. We recommend multiple

layers main board avoiding routing on the top layer.

For the best Bluetooth range performance, keep all external metal away from the antenna area.

4. AT Commands

BT832X1 module is available with firmware supporting AT commands. Part number is BT832X1-AT.

Brief description of AT commands

 Each command line consists of a prefix, a body and a terminator.

 All command lines begin with the prefix AT (ASCII 065, 084) or at (ASCII 097, 116).

 The body is a string of characters in the ASCII range 032-255. Control characters other than <CR>

(carriage return; ASCII 013) and <BS> (back space; ASCII 008) in a command line are ignored.

 The terminator is <CR>.

 There is no distinction between upper-case and lower-case characters. A command line can have a

maximum length of 80 characters. It is automatically discarded if the input is longer. Corrections are
made

 AT command is case-insensitive, following /r/n for end code.

 The default baud rate is 9600 one stop bit and no parity

Command mode

When P0.03 of nRF52832 (pin 6 of BT832X1) is pulled high, it is set to AT command mode. In AT command
mode, the host processor communicates with the processor on BT832X1.

Data Mode

When P0.03 of nRF52832 (pin 6 of BT832X1) is pulled low, it is set to data mode. In data model, BT832X1
provides transparent data transfer between the host processor and a remote device, for example, a
smartphone.

Communicating with a PC

A quick and easy way to evaluate BT832X1 is to use a PC as the host processor. Connect the development
board EV-BT832X1 to a PC with an USB cable. Then,

 Set S1, BT832X1 is set to command mode. PC will communicate with BT832X1.

 Set switch S1 to the other position, BT832X1 is set to data mode. PC will communicate with a

remote device through BT832X1 Bluetooth wireless connection.

Docklight is a testing, analysis and simulation tool for serial communication protocols (RS232, RS485/422 and
others). It allows you to monitor the communication between two serial devices or to test the serial
communication of a single device. Docklight significantly increases productivity in a broad range of industries,

5. Evaluation Boards and Reference Designs

Schematics and Gerber Files

Evaluation board schematics and Gerber files can be downloaded from

http://www.fanstel.com/download-document/

Evaluation board can be used as a reference design for using modules. EV BT840F V3 is designed for the
BT840F soldering pads with 61 pins. When a BT832X1 is mounted on an EV BT840F, it becomes an EV
BT832X1. These 21 pins in solid dark color are not connected when a BT832X1 is mounted.

BT832X1 has the same soldering pad footprint as BT832 or BT832F. Library component for BT832 and
BT840F can be used. For the Bluetooth range performance, BT840F library component shall be used for your
BT832X1 design.

Evaluation Board EV BT832X1 V4Schematics

EV BT832X1 V4 evaluation board is developed for BT840F and BT832X1. It can be used for BT832 and
BT832F. Pins in solid color are used only for BT840F.

On EV BT832X1, SW5 must be set to OFF and use on-board 32.768 KHz clock. Around U1 BT840 (832) red
color pin functions are for BT840F and blue color pin functions are for BT832X1.

Additional feature enhancements for version V4 evaluation board:

1. It has the same foot print as Arduino Uno R3. Additional connectors are added for connection to extra GPIO
pins of BlueNor modules.

2. EV BT832X1 is not an UNO R3 compatible board. You can use Nordic develop tools to develop firmware for
many UNO R3 compatible shields.

3. SW5 must be set to OFF and use internal 32.768 kHz crystal or oscillator.

4. Portable smartphone charger can be used to power this board. The circuitry to the left of micro USB
connector, J16 produces periodic load to prevent portable smartphone charger from shutting down.
