1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW
The BM78 is a complete, fully certified, embedded 2.4 GHz Bluetooth® version 4.0
(BR/EDR/LE) wireless IC. It incorporates an on-board Bluetooth stack, cryptographic accelerator,
power management subsystem, 2.4 GHz transceiver, and RF power amplifier (see Figure 1). With
the BM78, designers can embed Bluetooth functionality rapidly into virtually any device.
The BM78 provides cost and time-to-market savings as a self-contained Bluetooth solution.
The IC has been designed to provide integrators with a simple Bluetooth solution that features:
• Ease of integration and programming
• Vastly reduced development time
• Minimum system cost
• Interoperability with Bluetooth hosts
• Maximum value in a range of applications
The BM78 can independently maintain a low-power wireless connection. Low-power usage
and flexible power management maximize the IC’s lifetime in battery-operated devices. A wide
operating temperature range allows use in indoor and outdoor environments (industrial
temperature range).
The BM78 module comes in two varieties. The BM78SPPS3MC2 is a complete, fully
regulatory certified module with integral ceramic chip antenna and shield. The BM78SPP03MC2 is
a lower cost alternative with external antenna and no shield. The integrator is responsible for the
antenna, antenna matching, and regulatory certifications.
The BM78 is a small, compact, surface mount module with castellated pads for easy and
reliable host PCB mounting. The module is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment.

11.0Mounting Details
The BM78 SPPS5NC2 physical dimensions are shown in Figure 11-1, recommended host PCB footprint
in Figure 11-2, and mounting suggestion in Figure 11-3. There should not be top copper layer near the
test pin area shown in Figure 11-2. When laying out the host PCB, the areas under the antenna should
not contain any top, inner layer, or bottom copper as shown in Figure 11-3. A low-impedance ground
plane will ensure best radio performance (best range, lowest noise). Figure 11-3 shows a minimum
ground plane area to the left and right of the module for best antenna performance. The ground plane
can be extended beyond the minimum recommended as need for host PCB EMC noise reduction. For
best range performance, keep all external metal away from the ceramic chip antenna at least 31 mm.
The BM78SPP03MC2 physical dimensions are shown in Figure 11-4, recommended host PCB footprint in
Figure 11-5, and mounting suggestion in Figure 11-6. It is highly recommended to layout the host PCB as
suggested in Figure 11-6. A low-impedance ground plane will ensure best radio performance (best
range, lowest noise). Pin 30 (
BT_RF
) is a 50 ohm connection to an external antenna connector, PCB
trace antenna, or component (ceramic chip) antenna through a host PCB 50 ohm micro-strip trace. This
trace can be extended to include passive parts for antenna attenuation padding, impedance matching,
or to provide test posts. It is recommended that the micro-strip trace be as short as possible for
minimum loss and best impedance matching. If the micro-strip trace is longer, it should be a 50 ohm
impedance. Figure 11-6 shows an example connection to U.FL connector.
Soldering Recommendations
The BM78 wireless module was assembled using standard lead-free reflow profile IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
The module can be soldered to the host PCB using standard leaded and lead-free solder reflow profiles.
To avoid damaging the module, the following recommendations are given:
For Bluetooth product, antenna placement will affect whole system performance.
Antenna need free space to transmit RF signal, it can’t be surround by GND plane.
Here are some examples of good and poor placement on a Main Application board with GND plane.
FIGURE 12-1: KEEP OUT AREA SUGGESTION FOR ANTENNA
For more detail free space of antenna placement design, you can reference the design rule of
antenna produce vendor.
