VERVIEW AND KEY FEATURES
BT900 Series modules from Laird Technologies make it easy to add Classic BT and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
functionality to small, portable, power-conscious devices, including those powered by batteries. The fully
approved, programmable modules feature Laird’s innovative, event-driven
smart
BASIC programming
language, which significantly reduces OEM development risk and speeds time to market.
Based on the Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR) 8811 silicon and a low power Cortex M3 microcontroller, the
BT900 modules provide exceptionally low power consumption with outstanding wireless range, all within a
compact footprint of 19 mm x 12.5 mm. The modules incorporate all the hardware and firmware required to
support development of Dual Mode applications, including:
Complete radio hardware
UART, I2C, SPI, ADC, and GPIO interfaces
Embedded BTv4.0 software stack
- Classic BT profile - SPP
- GATT Client & Peripheral Modes
What makes the modules truly innovative is
enables standalone operation of the module. Laird has extended the implementation of
smart
BASIC, an event-driven programming language that
smart
BASIC from the
popular BL6xx series of single mode BLE modules into the BT900 series. This allows developers the flexibility
of utilising the Core and BLE specific
smart
BASIC functions from the BL6xx series to create fully
interchangeable BLE applications between these product ranges.
Without the need for any external processor, a simple
smart
BASIC application encapsulates the complete
end-to-end process of reading, writing, and processing of sensor data and then using Classic Bluetooth or
BLE to transfer it to / from any Bluetooth device. Ultimately
smart
BASIC accelerates initial development,
creation of prototypes, and mass production by providing you with your own Bluetooth expert within the
module.
In addition to carrying FCC modular, IC, CE and MIC approvals, BT900 modules are fully qualified as a
Bluetooth product, enabling designers to integrate the modules in devices without the need for further
Bluetooth testing. A low-cost developer’s kit including simple software tools simplifies module integration and
guarantees the fastest route to market.

The BT900-US module is listed on the Bluetooth SIG website as qualified End Products.
It is a mandatory requirement of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) that every product implementing
Bluetooth technology has a Declaration ID. Every Bluetooth design is required to go through the qualification
process, even when referencing a Bluetooth Design that already has its own Declaration ID. The Qualification
Process requires each company to registered as a member of the Bluetooth SIG – www.bluetooth.org
ink to listing on the SIG websiteink to listing on the SIG website
The following link provides a link to the Bluetooth registration page:
https://www.bluetooth.org/login/register/
For each Bluetooth Design it is necessary to purchase a Declaration ID. This can be done before starting the
new qualification, either through invoicing or credit card payment. The fees for the Declaration ID will depend
on your membership status, please refer to the following webpage:
For a detailed procedure of how to obtain a new Declaration ID for your design, refer to the following
document: https://www.bluetooth.org/DocMan/handlers/DownloadDoc.ashx?doc_id=283698&vId=317486
To start the listing, go to: https://www.bluetooth.org/tpg/QLI_SDoc.cfm
In step 1, select the option, Reference a Qualified Design
You can then select your pre-paid Declaration ID from the drop down menu or go to the Purchase
Declaration ID page.
Note:
Note: Unless the Declaration ID is pre-paid or purchased with a credit card, you cannot proceed until the
Note:Note:
SIG invoice is paid.
Once all the relevant sections of step 1 are finished, complete steps 2, 3, and 4 as described in the help
document. Your new Design will be listed on the SIG website and you can print your Certificate and DoC.
For further information please refer to the following training material:
