AMS00x • Embedded Bluetooth Low Energy Solution

General Description, Section 1

1 General Description

The family of AMS00x modules from ACKme Networks is based on an ultra-low power Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth Smart) SoC from Broadcom Corporation. All modules incorporate serial-flash memory and a printed antenna to provide a state-of-the-art fully-certified Bluetooth 4.1 solution.

An integrated solution avoids difficult RF layout and enables designers to rapidly embed Bluetooth Low Energy into virtually any device.

Modules ship with ACKme TruConnect, an easy-to-use application enabling control and configuration via a UART-serial interface. TruConnect virtually eliminates difficult and time-consuming software development effort and vastly reduces product development cycles. If required, custom applications may also be developed using the Broadcom WICED Smart Software Development Kit.

With dimensions of just 17.6 x 11.4 mm, a wide temperature range, and an ultra-low power version, the module is suitable for integration into any batterypowered embedded wireless application.

The Bluetooth Low Energy SoC from Broadcom is purpose-designed to support the entire spectrum of Bluetooth Smart use cases for medical, home automation, accessory, sensor, retail and wearable market segments. Superior receive sensitivity, an integrated RF transmit power amplifier and transmit/receive switch, along with the on-board antenna, provide extended range and full compatibility with all Bluetooth 4.1 devices.

At the heart of all AMS00x modules is a Bluetooth Low Energy SoC with a high-performance ARM® 32-bit Cortex™-M3 core operating at a frequency of 48MHz. The SoC includes is configured to boot applications stored in the 512xkB serial flash memory available on-board the module.

 8 x A/D converter channels  2 x 4-Wire UART interfaces  1 x SPI master/slave, 1 x SPI slave bus  1 x I  1 x Infrared Modulator / IR learning input  15 x ultra-low power wake inputs  32kHz crystal interface

The module may be powered directly from a battery supply in the range 1.8-3.6V including 2xAAA, 2xAA, or a single Lithium coin cell.

Internal power domains are automatically adjusted to minimise power dissipation based on user activity. Various power modes, including an ultra-low power deep sleep mode, are provided to minimize total average power consumption and maximize battery life.

The module may be woken from deep sleep mode by various events including a level transition on any GPIO, the UART or an internal timer.

An internal 32kHz low-power oscillator is available by default for non-critical timing requirements. Applications requiring an accurate real-time clock may connect an (optional) external 32kHz crystal.

Application debugging with a software debugger such as gdb is enabled via a standard Serial Wire Debug interface.

All versions of the module have Bluetooth BQB SIG certification, and FCC & IC modular approval for use in the United States and Canada, and CE approval for use in Europe and other countries.

C interface

Each module provides an extensive array of I/O and peripheral interfaces. The following list of interfaces are available, many of which are accessible with I/O multiplexing and alternate function capabilities.

AMS00x • Embedded Bluetooth Low Energy Solution

When designing a carrier board, the addition of ground fill directly underneath the module, rather than signal or power traces, is strongly advised. All ground pads adjacent to antenna pins must be connected to a solid ground plane. Failure to comply with these recommendations will almost certainly result in degraded performance of the radio receiver and/or transmitter.

7 Regulatory Certification

The AMS00x family of modules has been certified for operation in various regulatory domains. This section outlines certification information specific to the following countries and regions:

 United States  Canada  Europe  Australia  New Zealand

Should you require regulatory certification for the AMS00x module in a country or region not listed, please contact your local ACKme Networks sales office or create a support request via our website at

http://ack.me/contact.

7.1 United States

The ACKme Networks AMS-00x module has received Federal Communications Commission (FCC) CFR47 Telecommunications, Part 15 Sub-part C “Intentional Radia-

tors” modular approval in accordance with Part 15.212

Modular Transmitter approval. Modular approval allows the end user to integrate the AMS-00x module into a finished product without obtaining subsequent and separate FCC approvals for intentional radiation, provided no changes or modifications are made to the module circuitry. Changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. The end user must comply with all of the instructions provided by the Grantee which indicate installation and/or operating conditions necessary for compliance.

The finished product is required to comply with all applicable FCC equipment authorization, regulations, requirements, and equipment functions not associated with the transmitter module portion. For example, compliance must be demonstrated to regulations for other transmitter components within the host product; to requirements for unintentional radiators (Part 15 Sub-part B “Unintentional Radiators”), such as digital devices, computer peripherals, radio receivers, etc.; and to additional authorization requirements for nontransmitter functions on the transmitter module (i.e. Verification, or Declaration of Conformity) (e.g., transmitter modules may also contain digital logic functions) as appropriate.

Labeling and User Information

Requirements

The AMS-00x module has been labelled with a unique FCC ID number, and if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the finished product into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording as follows:

The user manual for the product should include the following statement:

AMS-00x • Embedded Bluetooth Low Energy Solution

To satisfy FCC RF Exposure requirements for mobile and base station transmission devices, a separation distance of 20 cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during operation. To ensure compliance, operation at closer than this distance is not recommended. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter

Contains transmitter module IC: 11685A-61F8D

Regulatory Certification, Section 7

Additional information on labeling and user information requirements for Part 15 devices can be found in KDB Publication 784748 available at the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) Laboratory Division Knowledge Database (KDB) at the following website:

https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/index.cfm

External Antenna

Modular approval in the United States is permitted with the use of the integrated antenna ONLY. If an external antenna is used with the AMS-00x module, additional testing of the end product is needed to meet FCC requirements.

RF Exposure

All transmitters regulated by FCC must comply with RF exposure requirements. OET Bulletin 65, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, provides assistance in determining whether proposed or existing transmitting facilities, operations or devices comply with limits for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) fields adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The bulletin offers guidelines and suggestions for evaluating compliance.

If appropriate, compliance with exposure guidelines for mobile and unlicensed devices can be accomplished by the use of warning labels and by providing users with information concerning minimum separation distances from transmitting structures and proper installation of antennas.

The following statement must be included as a CAUTION statement in manuals and OEM products to alert users of FCC RF exposure compliance:

The R&TTE Compliance Association provides guidance on modular devices in the document titled Technical Guidance Note 01 available on the website at

http://www.rtteca.com/html/download_area.htm.

Provided the integrator installing an assessed radio module with an integral or specific antenna and installed in conformance with the radio module manufac-

turer’s installation instructions requires no further

evaluation under Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive and does not require further involvement of an R&TTE Directive Notified Body for the final product. [Section

2.2.4]

The European Compliance Testing listed in Table 11 was performed using the AMS-00x on-board antenna.
