Manufacture: Rigado, Inc.
BMD-330 Module for Bluetooth 5 LE
The BMD-330 from Rigado is a powerful, highly flexible, ultra-low power Bluetooth Smart module based on the nRF52810 SoC from Nordic Semiconductor. With an ARM® Cortex™ M4 CPU, embedded 2.4GHz transceiver, and integrated antenna, it provides a complete RF solution with no additional RF design, allowing faster time to market. Providing full use of the nRF52810’s capabilities and peripherals, the BMD-330 can power demanding applications, while simplifying designs and reducing BOM costs. With an internal DC-DC converter and intelligent power control, the BMD-330 provides class­leading power efficiency, enabling ultra-low power sensitive applications. Regulatory pre-approvals reduce the burden to enter the market. As a drop in replacement for the BMD-300/301, the BMD-330 completes Rigado’s BMD-300 Series lineup with an optimized peripheral set that is attractive for a wide range of cost-sensitive applications.

Note 1: An internal 4.7µF bulk capacitor is included on the module. However, it is good design practice to add additional bulk capacitance as required for your application, i.e. those with heavy GPIO usage and/or current draw.
Note 2: These pins are in close proximity to the nRF52 radio power supply and antenna pins. Radio performance parameters, such as sensitivity, may be affected by high frequency digital I/O with large sink/source current on these pins. Nordic recommends using only low frequency, low-drive functions when possible.

7.4 Module RESET

GPIO pin P0.21 may be used for a hardware reset. In order to utilize P0.21 as a hardware reset, the UICR registers PSELRESET[0] and PSELRESET[1] must be set alike, to the value of 0x7FFFFF15. When P0.21 is programmed as
RESET, the internal pull-up is automatically enabled. Rigado and Nordic example applications and development kits program P0.21 as RESET.

7.5 Debug & Programming

The BMD-330 supports the two pin Serial Wire Debug (SWD) interface and offers flexible and powerful mechanism for non-intrusive debugging of program code. Breakpoints, single stepping, and instruction trace capture of code execution flow are part of this support.

7.6 Clocks

The BMD-330 requires two clocks, a high frequency clock and a low frequency clock.
The high frequency clock is provided on-module by a high-accuracy 32-MHz crystal as required by the nRF52810 for radio operation.
The low frequency clock can be provided internally by an RC oscillator or synthesized from the fast clock; or externally by a 32.768 kHz crystal. An external crystal provides the lowest power consumption and greatest accuracy. Using the internal RC oscillator with calibration provides acceptable performance for BLE applications at a reduced cost and slight increase in power consumption. Note: the ANT protocol requires the use of an external crystal.

8. Firmware

8.1 Factory Image

Due to the BMD-330’s reduced memory capacity, no factory firmware image is provided on the module. This is indicated with a factory
version code of “00” printed on the module label. Since there is no
bootloader on the module, firmware must be loaded on the module with the SWD interface

8.2 SoftDevices

Nordic Semiconductor protocol stacks are known as SoftDevices. SoftDevices are pre-compiled, pre-linked binary files. SoftDevices can be programmed in nRF52 series SoCs and are downloadable from the Nordic website. The BMD-330 with the nRF52810 SoC supports the S132 (BLE Central & Peripheral) SoftDevice.

8.2.1 S132

The S132 SoftDevice is a Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) Central and Peripheral protocol stack solution supporting up to 20 connections with an additional Observer and a Broadcaster role all running concurrently. The S132 SoftDevice integrates a BLE Controller and Host, and provides a full and flexible API for building Bluetooth Smart nRF52 System on Chip (SoC) solutions.

8.3 MAC Address Info

The BMD-330 module comes preprogrammed with a unique MAC address from the factory. The MAC address is also printed on a 2D barcode on the top of the module.
Figure 3 – BMD-300/301 MAC Address on Label
The 6-byte BLE Radio MAC address is stored in the nRF52810 UICR at NRF_UICR_BASE+0x80 LSB first. From the factory, the MAC address can be read over SWD since read-back protection is not enabled. If performing a full-chip-erase, the MAC can then only be recovered from the 2D barcode and human-readable text.
UICR Register:
NRF_UICR + 0x80 (0x10001080): MAC_Addr [0] (0xZZ) NRF_UICR + 0x81 (0x10001081): MAC_Addr [1] (0xYY) NRF_UICR + 0x82 (0x10001082): MAC_Addr [2] (0xXX) NRF_UICR + 0x83 (0x10001083): MAC_Addr [3] (0x93) NRF_UICR + 0x84 (0x10001084): MAC_Addr [4] (0x54) NRF_UICR + 0x85 (0x10001085): MAC_Addr [5] (0x94)

11. RF Design Notes

11.1 Recommended RF Layout & Ground Plane

11.1.1 BMD-300

For the BMD-330, the integrated antenna requires a suitable ground plane to radiate effectively. The area under and extending out from the antenna portion of the module should be kept clear of copper and other metal. The module should be placed at the edge of the PCB with the antenna edge facing out. Reducing the ground plane from that shown in Figure 7 will reduce the effective radiated power. For example, a 27mm x 29mm board (about the size of a coin cell) has approximately 3dB lower output than the BMD-330 Evaluation Board.
Figure 7 – BMD-300 Recommended RF Layout

11.2 Mechanical Enclosure

Care should be taken when designing and placing the module into an enclosure. Metal should be kept clear from the antenna area, both above and below. Any metal around the module can negatively impact RF performance.
The module is designed and tuned for the antenna and RF components to be in free air. Any potting, epoxy fill, plastic over-molding, or conformal coating can negatively impact RF performance and must be evaluated by the customer.

14. Bluetooth Qualification

The BMD-330 Series modules are qualified as a Bluetooth Component (tested) for RF-PHY (Pending). This allows customers to use different SoftDevices that have been qualified by Nordic without the need to complete additional RF-PHY testing. To achieve Bluetooth End Product qualification, the Rigado RF-PHY QDID can be combined with Nordic QDIDs for the SoftDevice used when filing on the Bluetooth SIG website. The
only testing required is for the Bluetooth profiles supported by the customer’s product. Products with only
custom profiles do not require any additional testing.

(2) Co-location Warning:
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other transmitter antenna.
(3) OEM integration instructions
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
The antenna and transmitter must not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. The module shall be only used with the integral antenna(s) that has been originally tested and certified with this module.
As long as the two (2) conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements with this module installed (for example, digital device emission, PC peripheral requirements, etc.)
In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configuration or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization for this module in combination with the host equipment is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID of the module cannot be used on the final product. In these and circumstance, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
Caution!
The OEM is still responsible for verifying end product compliance with FCC Part 15, subpart B limits for unintentional radiators through an accredited test facility.
(4) End product labeling
The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:
“Contains FCC ID: 2AA9B09
Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used.
The FCC Statement below should also be included on the label. When not possible, the FCC Statement should be included in the User Manual of the host device.
“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. (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
(5) Information regarding the end user manual
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product which integrates this module. The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this manual (Section 15.2(4)).
