3.1 Power Supply
BlueMod+SR require a power supply with the following characteristics:
Typical: 3,3VDC, min.: 2,5VDC, max.: 3.6VDC, > 80mA peak
For optimal performance a stable supply is recommended. If a regulator is to be used, it should be
a fast linear regulator placed as close as possible to the VSUP pins (E-6, F-6). Functionality has
been verified with the following type: TOREX: XC6204x332xx.
If the regulator cannot be placed close to the BlueMod+SR, it is recommended to place an
additional low ESR capacitor with at least 10µF as close as possible to the VSUP pins (E-6, F-6 or
C-1).

3.5 Serial Interface
The serial interface of BlueMod+SR is a high-speed UART interface supporting RTS/CTS flow
control and interface-up/down mechanism according to the UICP+ protocol (refer to [3] ). Electrical
interfacing is at CMOS levels (defined by VSUP).
Transmission speeds are 9600 – 921600 bps (asynchronous)
Character representation: 8 Bit, no parity, 1 stop bit
Hardware flow-control with RTS and CTS (active low)
Note: Transmission speed may be limited by firmware. See corresponding command reference
[5] for further information.
Figure 4: Serial Interface Signals
The basic serial interface (with RTS/CTS flow control) uses only four signal lines (UART-RXD,
UART-TXD, UART-CTS#, UART-RTS#). IUR-IN#, IUR-OUT# and GPIO[4] (see below) can be left
unconnected.
A substantially saving of power during idle phases can be achieved (see 5.6.1) when the UICP
protocol is used (refer to [3] ). This protocol should be implemented on the host side as well.
Signals IUR-IN# and IUR-OUT# should be connected to the host and may be mapped to DSR and
DTR, if an RS232-style (DTE-type) interface is used (see Figure 5).
When using the SPP firmware and applications, call control can be supported by GPIO[4]. Driving
GPIO[4] to logic High level during a data transfer phase will “hang up” the connection and
disconnect the Bluetooth link. This signal may be mapped to DSR, if an RS232-style (DTE-type)
interface is used. Please refer to [5] for a functional specification. GPIO[4] can be left unconnected
if this feature is not used.

3.5.1 3-Wire Serial Interface
When using only GND and UART-RXD, UART-TXD serial lines, leave UART-RTS# and UARTCTS# open.
Note: It is strongly recommended to use hardware flow control. Not using flow control can cause
a loss of data. When RTS/CTS is not used (3-wire interface) the DTE may sent a limited number
of Bytes (depending on buffer size) to the UART interface of the BlueMod+SR without losing data
(e.g. 1 kByte by using firmware version 1.310).

3.5.2 Baud Rate Deviation
The information on how to set standard or custom baud rates can be found in [5] Stollmann:
BlueMod+SR AT Command Reference.
Assumed that on both sides the TX and RX baud rates are nominally equal, the total baud rate
deviation is the sum of the host baud rate deviation and the BlueMod+SR baud rate deviation. The
total baud rate deviation shall not exceed 2.5% to prevent loss of data. Some margin should be
considered to cover deviations through the transmission line, e.g. due to asymmetry in low to high
and high to low transitions.
The following table shows the BlueMod+SR baud rate deviation in percent of the standard baud
rates caused by the baud rate generator granularity. Add 50ppm for the tolerance of the local
oscillator over the full temperature range.
Table 3: Standard Baud Rates and Deviations
Custom baud rates (CBR) are generated by a fractional divider according to the formula
Where data types are for MANTISSA unsigned int12 and for FRACTION unsigned int4. These
values will be programmed to the fractional baud rate generator registers.
BR is the resulting baud rate which might not exactly be the targeted CBR due to the granularity
error of the fractional baud rate generator.
Release r09 www.stollmann.dePage 18 of 76
BlueMod+SR/AI
BlueMod+SR/AP
Hardware Reference
Therefore the baud rate deviation can be calculated by the following procedure, for which
Stollmann provides a tool at
1) math.floor(x) returns the largest integer less than or equal to x
2) math.round(x) returns a number of x rounded to the nearest integer
3) math.abs(x) returns the absolute value of x
4) DIV floating variable
5) CBR targeted customer baud rate
6) BR actual resulting baud rate
7) MANTISSA unsigned int12 baud rate register value
8) FRACTION unsigned int4 baud rate register value

3.9 SPI Serial Peripheral Interface3
The serial peripheral interface (SPI) allows half/full-duplex, synchronous, serial communication with
external devices. The interface can be configured as the master and in this case it provides the
communication clock (SCK) to the external slave device. The interface is also capable of operating
in multi master configuration. It may be used for a variety of purposes, including simplex
synchronous transfer on two lines with a possible bidirectional data line or reliable communication
using CRC checking. Module pins are used as follows:

3.12 Slow Clock Interface
Consumption of power during power-down modes can be reduced by feeding the module with an
optional 32,768 kHz slow clock at pin SLCK.
SLCK specification:
32,768 kHz typ., 30 kHz min., 35 kHz max. Duty cycle 30...70%.
Signal must be square wave, at VSUP-level (see note below) and present as long as VSUP
is powered.
The module’s firmware will detect the presence of a slow clock during the boot process and switch
behavior appropriately. This check does only apply for presence of some clock; it is not checked if
the clock frequency is in the valid range required by CSR8811 (30kHz ... 35kHz).
If this signal is not used, to minimize risk of erroneous pulse detection in noisy environments,
Stollmann recommends the connection of A-6 to GND (direct connection or pull-down resistor).
Note: Since SLCK is fed to both the STM32 and the CSR8811, the electrical characteristics as
described in Table 11 (V
) and Table 12 (VIH) apply at the same time.

3.13 Test Mode Enable
This functionality is reserved. Leave pin TESTMODE# open.
3.14 Pin Strapped System Memory Boot Mode Invocation
Asserting BOOT0 “high” will invoke the system memory bootloader at start-up. This is required for
firmware update. Thus, access to this signal and a means to drive it at high level should be
foreseen by the customer’s hardware. While not in use, this signal can be left open or driven to
logic low level.
To connect to the module during system memory boot mode, an RS232 serial interface has to be
directly linked to the UART-TXD (F-4) and UART_RXD (D-2) pins.
The bootloader is stored in the internal boot ROM memory (system memory) of MCU. It is
programmed during production. Its main task is to upgrade the firmware to the internal Flash
memory. A communication protocol is defined with a specific command set and sequences.
The firmware upgrade will be done by either
- a Stollmann provided firmware update tool. This is a Windows™ program that contains the
firmware and uses a PC with a serial port for the update
- implementing the system memory boot mode protocol on the host system.
If firmware update shall be performed from a host MCU, signals BOOT0 and EXT-RES# both must
be controlled by that host MCU (GPIO ports). Please note that EXT-RES# must not be driven
directly from a push-pull signal (see chapter 3.3).

3.15 Operating in a Power-Switched Environment
A potential "back feeding" problem may arise, if the module is operated in an environment where
its power supply (VSUP) is switched off by the application. This might be done to save some power

As stated in Table 6, the voltage on any I/O pin must not exceed VSUP by more than 0,4V at any
time. Otherwise some current I

There is no problem if the application circuit design and programming can assure that all signals
directed towards BlueMod+SR are set to low (U < 0,3V) before and while VSUP is turned off. If this
is not guaranteed, at least a series resistor (about 1k) must be inserted into the signal path. This
does protect the module but obviously cannot prevent from an unwanted, additional current flow in
case of such signal being at high-level. It may be necessary to use driver chips in such applications, that gate off these signals while VSUP is not present.

3.16 Serial Wire DEBUG Interface
The Serial Wire interface SWDIO, SWCLK is normally not used in a customer’s product. It is
reserved for debugging purposes.
Leave SWDIO, SWCLK unconnected. Only if you intend to use it for debugging purposes, make it
available and connect SWDIO via a pullup resistor 100kΩ to VSUP (refer to [1]).
3.17 TRACE Interface5
The Trace UART TXD interface provides firmware internal trace information and is normally not
used in a customer’s product. In cases where customer support by Stollmann is requested it may
provide useful information about BlueMod+SR internal states and processes while in operation.
We recommend leaving GPIO[6] unconnected but allowing access to the signal (e.g. by routing it
to a via or a header).

4.3 Handling of Unused Signals
Depending on the application, not all signals of BlueMod+SR may be needed. The following list
gives some hints how to handle unused signals.
EXT-RES# If no external Reset is needed: Leave open (*)
BOOT0 (*) [leave open]
SLCK If no external slow clock is provided: Leave open or tie to
GND
UART-RTS#, UART-CTS# If neither flow control nor UICP is used: Leave open
IUR-OUT#, IUR-IN# If UICP is not used: leave open
BT-ACT, BT-STAT, If there is no WLAN device on the same PCB: Leave open
BT-PER, WLAN-DNY
TESTMODE# Leave open
unused GPIOs Leave open
SWDIO, SWCLK Leave open. Only needed for debug purposes.
GPIO(6) Leave open, connect to via or header pin for getting debug
TRACE_UART_TXD information in customer hardware
(*) for being able to update the firmware, it is strongly recommended to provide for a means to set
BOOT0 temporarily to logic high level, and to reset the module; see chapter 3.14.

5.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage
to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions beyond those indicated under “Electrical Requirements” is not implied. Exposure
to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

5.5 Digital I/O Including EXT-RES#
STM32 MCU and CSR8811 do have different electrical I/O characteristics.
All Module I/O pins are connected directly to these chips without signal conditioning except for
some pull-up/pull-down resistors (as indicated). Therefore the electrical characteristics are split in
different tables.

6.3 Re-flow Temperature-Time Profile
The data here is given only for guidance on solder and has to be adapted to your process and
other re-flow parameters for example the used solder paste. The paste manufacturer provides a reflow profile recommendation for his product.
Opposite side re-flow is prohibited due to module weight.
Devices will withstand the specified profile and will withstand up to 1 re-flows to a maximum
temperature of 260°C. The reflow soldering profile may only be applied if the BlueMod+SR resides
on the PCB side looking up. Heat above the solder eutectic point while the BlueMod+SR is
mounted facing down may damage the module permanently.

6.4 Placement Recommendation
To achieve best radio performance for BlueMod+SR/AI, it is recommended to use the placement
shown in Figure 19. This is a “corner placement” meaning the BlueMod+SR is placed such that the
antenna comes close to the corner of the application PCB (red area). So, the yellow area is outside
the PCB and regards to the housing, too (refer to 6.5).
Please note that for best possible performance the antenna should be directed away from the
application PCB as shown in Figure 19.
Figure 19: BlueMod+SR/AI Placement Recommendation
6.5 Housing Guidelines
The individual case must be checked to decide whether a specific housing is suitable for the use of
the internal antenna. A plastic housing must at least fulfill the following requirements:
Non-conductive material, non-RF-blocking plastics
No metallic coating
ABS is suggested
6.6 Antenna Issues
BlueMod+SR is shipped with 2 different antenna designs:
BlueMod+SR/AI comprises a ceramic antenna which as a component is soldered to the
circuit board. This is functional for a BlueMod+SR/AI integrated into a plastic housing. No
additional antenna is required.
For an external antenna to be set in, e.g. because the BlueMod+SR is integrated into a metal
housing, the ceramic antenna is replaced.
Release r09 www.stollmann.dePage 52 of 76
BlueMod+SR/AI
BlueMod+SR/AP
Hardware Reference
BlueMod+SR/AP routes the antenna signal to pin A-8
The gain of the external antenna shall not exceed +2dBi.
When using an external Antenna the antenna must be fixed and shall not be removable or
replaceable by the end user. In any case, the performance of the antenna (whether it is internal or
external) has to be checked within the final integration environment. Adjacent PCBs, components,
cables, housings etc. could otherwise influence the radiation pattern or be influenced by the radio
wave energy.
It must be ensured that the antenna is not co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antennas, transmitters, cables or connectors. When the internal ceramic antenna is used, certain
restrictions are to be considered.
6.7 Safety Guidelines
According to SAR regulation EN 62479:2010 the BlueMod+SR is not intended to be used in close
proximity to the human body. Please refer to above-mentioned regulation for more specific
information.
In respect to the safety regulation EN60950-1: 2006 + A11: 2009 + A1: 2010 + AC:2011 all
conductive parts of the BlueMod+SR are to be classified as SELV circuitry. OEM’s implementing
the BlueMod+SR in their products should follow the isolation rules given in regulation EN 60950-1:
2006.
The PCB material of the BlueMod+SR is classified UL-94V0.
6.8 Cleaning
In general, cleaning the modules mounted on the host board is strongly discouraged. Residues
between module and host board cannot be easily removed with any cleaning method..
Cleaning with water or any organic solvent can lead to capillary effects where the cleaning
solvent is absorbed into the gap between the module and the host board. The combination
of soldering flux residues and encapsulated solvent could lead to short circuits between
conductiv parts. The solvent could also damage any labels.
Ultrasonic cleaning could damage the module permanently. Especially for crystal oscillators
the risk of damaging is very high.

7 Application Diagram
The following schematic shows a typical application of BlueMod+SR. The module is connected to
some MCU running the application layer. MCU and BlueMod+SR use the same 3,3V power
supply. Provisions are made for upgrading the firmware (BOOT0 and EXT-RES# are managed by
the MCU). The serial interface has RTS/CTS flow control but no UICP support in this example. The
Hangup feature to close down the link is provided. As an option to save power, there is an external
slow clock oscillator. All other module pins may be left unconnected.
