Bluetooth Module
1. Introduction
The KB64A/B/C Bluetooth module built in a CSRA64110/CSRA64210/CRS64215 Bluetooth chip,
is a perfect solution for consumer audio platform wired and wireless applications, integrates an ultralow power DSP and application processor with embedded flash memory, a high performance
stereo/mono codec, a powerful management subsystem, LED driver in a SoC. The enhanced
Kalimba DSP coprocessor with 80MIPS supports enhanced audio and DSP applications.
The KB64A/B/C Bluetooth module complies with Bluetooth specification version 4.2. It supports
HSP, HFP, A2DP, AVRCP profiles. It integrates RF, Baseband controller, etc. And it also provides
UART interface, USB interface programmable I/O, mono (KB64A)/stereo(KB64B/KB64C) speaker
output (Analog – differential, Digital – PCM, SPDIF & I²S), microphone input, etc. The KB64C is
able to support aptX and aptX Low Latency.

6. Design Note
Except KB64A, the KB64B/C is design for stereo speaker output, SPKR_RN, SPKR_RP,
SPKR_LN, SPKR_LP are output for stereo audio output. If it connects with amplifier, it must be
differential input. Or, it must have a component to balance two signal levels different. Otherwise, it
will cause pop noise. You could refer the reference schematic for more detail. When using KB64A,
please not connect the SPKR_RN, SPKR_RP for mono output SPKR_LN, SPKR_LP only.
For PCB layout, the metal material will affect the antenna of Bluetooth. Please keep the blow area of
antenna as open, without ground or line. Please keep antenna distance with the battery, speaker and
display monitor etc.
The Bluetooth communication is easy depends on environment. For example, The workable distance
sometime shorter when in different environment because signal absorb by the metal or wood as
obstacle.
If your design must put the KB64A/B/C in the metal shell or box, it should connect with higher
performance external antenna for better signal. There are an external antenna option versions for you
to apply the external antenna by BT_RF pin. The option is only for KB64xE version, For example,
KB64AE, KB64BE or KB64CE. The E is mean external antenna version. Please let us know you
application before you put the order.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. (Example - use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or
peripheral devices).
End Product Labeling
This transmitter module is authorized only for use in devices where the antenna may be installed such that 0.5 cm may be maintained between
the antenna and users. The final end product must be labeled in visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID: M5X-KB64ABC”
End Product Manual Information
The user manual for end users must include the following information in a prominent location “IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF
exposure compliance requirements, the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 0.5 cm
from all persons and must not be colocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.” 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop configurations or colocation with another
transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these
circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for reevaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC
authorization.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions: The antenna must be installed such that 0.5 cm is maintained
between the antenna and users. As long as a condition above is met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is
still responsible for testing their end product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example,
digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
