VDD (pins 2 and 16) 3.3 V supply voltage connection. WT12 has an internal decoupling capacitor and LC filter to block high frequency disturbances. Thus external filtering is usually not needed. It is however recommended to leave an option for an external high Q 10pF decoupling capacitor in case EMC problems arise. RES (pin 17) The RESET pin is an active high reset and is internally filtered using the internal low frequency clock oscillator. A reset will be performed between 1.5 and 4.0ms following RESET being active. It is recommended that RESET be applied for a period greater than 5ms. WT12 has an internal reset circuitry, which keeps reset pin active until supply voltage has reached stability in the start up. This ensures that supply for the flash memory inside the WT12 will reach stability before BC4 chip fetches instructions from it. Schematic of the reset circuitry is shown in figure 4. Rising supply voltage charges the capacitor, which will activate the reset of WT12. The capacitor discharges through 220 k resistor, which eventually deactivates the reset. Time constant of the RC circuitry is set such that the supply voltage is safely stabilized before reset deactivates. Pull-up or pull-down resistor should not be connected to the reset pin to ensure proper star up of WT12. Bluegiga Technologies Oy Figure 4: WT12 internal reset circuitry PIO2 - PIO7 (pins 3, 4, 18, 19, 20 and 25) Programmable digital I/O lines. All PIO lines can be configured through software to have either weak or strong pull-ups or pull-downs. Configuration for each PIO line depends on the application. See section 10 "I/O parallel ports" for detailed descriptions for each terminal. Default configuration for all of the PIO lines is input with weak internal pull-down.

Bluegiga Technologies Oy 5 Physical Interfaces 5.1 UART Interface WT12 Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) interface provides a simple mechanism for communicating with other serial devices using the RS232 standard. The UART interface of WT12 uses voltage levels of 0 to Vdd and thus external transceiver IC is required to meet the voltage level specifications of UART. UART_TX UART_RX WT12 UART_RTS UART_CTS Figure 5: WT12 UART interface Four signals are used to implement the UART function, as shown in Figure 6. When WT12 is connected to another digital device, UART_RX and UART_TX transfer data between the two devices. The remaining two signals, UART_CTS and UART_RTS, can be used to implement RS232 hardware flow control where both are active low indicators. DTR, DSR and DCD signals can be implemented using PIO terminals of WT12. All UART connections are implemented using CMOS technology and have signaling levels of 0V and VDD. In order to communicate with the UART at its maximum data rate using a standard PC, an accelerated serial port adapter card is required for the PC. Possible values Parameter Baud rate Minimum Maximum 1200 baud (2%Error) 9600 baud (1%Error) 3.0Mbaud (1%Error) RTS/CTS, none Flow control None, Odd, Even Parity Number of stop bits Bits per channel 1 or 2 8 Table 14: Possible UART settings The UART interface is capable of resetting WT12 upon reception of a break signal. A Break is identified by a continuous logic low (0V) on the UART_RX terminal, as shown in Figure 7. If tBRK is longer than the value, defined by the PS Key PSKEY_HOST_IO_UART_RESET_TIMEOUT, (0x1a4), a reset will occur. This feature allows a host to initialize the system to a known state. Also, WT12 can emit a Break character that may be used to wake the Host. Since UART_RX terminal includes weak internal pull-down, it can't be left open unless disabling UART interface using PS_KEY settings. If UART is not disabled, a pull-up resistor has to be connected to UART_RX. UART interface requires external RS232 transceiver, which usually includes the required pull-up.

There is no requirement to use these standard values. Any Baud rate within the supported range can be set in the Persistent Store Key according to the formula in Equation below.

This will allow the user to daisy chain devices onto the physical UART bus. The constraint on this method is that any devices connected to this bus must tri-state when WT12reset is de-asserted and the firmware begins to run. 5.1.2 UART Bypass Mode Alternatively, for devices that do not tri-state the UART bus, the UART bypass mode on WT12 can be used. The default state of WT12 after reset is de-asserted, this is for the host UART bus to be connected to the WT12 UART, thereby allowing communication to WT12 via the UART. In order to apply the UART bypass mode, a BCCMD command will be issued to WT12 upon this, it will switch the bypass to PIO[7:4] as shown in Figure 9. Once the bypass mode has been invoked, WT12 will enter the deep sleep state indefinitely. In order to re-establish communication with WT12, the chip must be reset so that the default configuration takes affect. Bluegiga Technologies Oy It is important for the host to ensure a clean Bluetooth disconnection of any active links before the bypass mode is invoked. Therefore it is not possible to have active Bluetooth links while operating the bypass mode. The current consumption for a device in UART Bypass Mode is equal to the values quoted for a device in standby mode.

No external USB transceiver is required. To match the connection to the characteristic impedance of the USB cable, series resistors must be included to both of the signal lines. These should be of 1% tolerance and the value required may vary between 0 and 20 ohm with 10 ohm being nominal. The resistors should be placed close to the USB pins of the module in order to avoid reflections. The module has internally 22 ohm resistors in series. The total input impedance seen by the cable is affected by the IC characteristics, track layout and the connector. The cable impedance is approximately 40 ohm. The device operates as a USB peripheral, responding to requests from a master host controller such as a PC. Both the OHCI and the UHCI standards are supported. The set of USB endpoints implemented can behave as specified in the USB section of the Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR specification or alternatively can appear as a set of endpoint appropriate to USB audio devices such as speakers. As USB is a Master/Slave oriented system (in common with other USB peripherals), WT12 only supports USB Slave operation. 5.2.1 USB Pull-Up Resistor WT12 features an internal USB pull-up resistor. This pulls the USB_DP pin weakly high when WT12 is ready to enumerate. It signals to the PC that it is a full speed (12Mbit/s) USB device. The USB internal pull-up is implemented as a current source, and is compliant with Section 7.1.5 of the USB specification v1.2. The internal pull-up pulls USB_D+ high to at least 2.8V when loaded with a 15k +/-5% pull-down resistor (in the hub/host). This presents a Therein resistance to the host of at least 900. Alternatively, an external 1.5k pull-up resistor can be placed between a PIO line and D+ on the USB cable. The firmware must be alerted to which mode is used by setting PS Key PSKEY_USB_PIO_PULLUP appropriately. The default setting uses the internal pull-up resistor. 5.2.2 Self Powered Mode In self powered mode, the circuit is powered from its own power supply and not from the VBUS (5V) line of the USB cable. It draws only a small leakage current (below 0.5mA) from VBUS on the USB cable. This is the easier mode for which to design for, as the design is not limited by the power that can be drawn from the USB hub or root port. However, it requires that VBUS be connected to WT12 via a voltage devider (Rvb1 and Rvb2), so WT12 can detect when VBUS is powered up. Voltage divider is essential to drop the 5V voltage at the VBUS to 3,3V expected at the USB interface of WT12. WT12 will not pull USB_DP high when VBUS is off. Self powered USB designs (powered from a battery or PSU) must ensure that a PIO line is allocated for USB pull-up purposes. A 1.5K 5% pull-up resistor between USB_DP and the selected PIO line should be fitted to the design. Failure to fit this resistor may result in the design failing to be USB compliant in self powered mode. The internal pull-up in WT12 is only suitable for bus powered USB devices i.e. dongles. PIO R =1.5k USB_D+ WT12 USB_DUSB_ON Rvb1 Rvb2 Figure 9: USB in self powered mode Bluegiga Technologies Oy The terminal marked USB_ON can be any free PIO pin. The PIO pin selected must be registered by setting PSKEY_USB_PIO_VBUS to the corresponding pin number. In self powered mode PSKEY_USB_PIO_PULLUP must be set to match with the PIO selected. Note: USB_ON is shared with WT12 PIO terminals (PIO2-PIO7). 5.2.3 Bus Powered Mode In bus powered mode the application circuit draws its current from the 5V VBUS supply on the USB cable. WT12 negotiates with the PC during the USB enumeration stage about how much current it is allowed to consume. For WT12 Bluetooth applications, it is recommended that the regulator used to derive 3.3V from VBUS is rated at 100mA average current and should be able to handle peaks of 120mA without fold back or limiting. In bus powered mode, WT12 requests 100mA during enumeration. When selecting a regulator, be aware that VBUS may go as low as 4.4V. The inrush current (when charging reservoir and supply decoupling capacitors) is limited by the USB specification (see USB specification v1.1, Section 7.2.4.1). Some applications may require soft start circuitry to limit inrush current if more than 10pF is present between VBUS and GND. The 5V VBUS line emerging from a PC is often electrically noisy. As well as regulation down to 3.3V, applications should include careful filtering of the 5V line to attenuate noise that is above the voltage regulator bandwidth. In bus powered mode PSKEY_USB_PIO_PULLUP must be set to 16 for internal pull-up (default configuration in WT12). USB_D+ WT12 USB_DUSB_ON VBUS GND Voltage regulator Figure 10: USB in bus powered mode 5.2.4 Suspend Current All USB devices must permit the USB controller to place them in a USB Suspend mode. While in USB Suspend, bus powered devices must not draw more than 0.5mA from USB VBUS (self powered devices may draw more than 0.5mA from their own supply). This current draw requirement prevents operation of the radio by bus powered devices during USB Suspend. The voltage regulator circuit itself should draw only a small quiescent current (typically less than 100uA) to ensure adherence to the suspend current requirement of the USB specification. This is not normally a problem with modern regulators. Ensure that external LEDs and/or amplifiers can be turned off by WT12. The entire circuit must be able to enter the suspend mode. (For more details on USB Suspend, see separate CSR documentation). 5.2.5 Detach and Wake-Up Signaling WT12 can provide out-of-band signaling to a host controller by using the control lines called `USB_DETACH' and `USB_WAKE_UP'. These are outside the USB specification (no wires exist for them inside the USB cable), but can be useful when embedding WT12 into a circuit where no external USB is visible to the user. Both control lines are shared with PIO pins and can be assigned to any PIO Bluegiga Technologies Oy pin by setting the PS Keys PSKEY_USB_PIO_DETACH and PSKEY_USB_PIO_WAKEUP to the selected PIO number. USB_DETACH is an input which, when asserted high, causes WT12 to put USB_D- and USB_D+ in high impedance state and turned off the pull-up resistor on D+. This detaches the device from the bus and is logically equivalent to unplugging the device. When USB_DETACH is taken low, WT12 will connect back to USB and await enumeration by the USB host. USB_WAKE_UP is an active high output (used only when USB_DETACH is active) to wake up the host and allow USB communication to recommence. It replaces the function of the software USB WAKE_UP message (which runs over the USB cable), and cannot be sent while WT12 is effectively disconnected from the bus. 10ms max 10ms max USB_DETACH 10ms max No max USB_WAKE_UP Port_Imbedance USB_DPUSB_DN USB_PULL_UP Disconnected Figure 11: USB_DETACH and USB_WAKE_UP Signal 5.2.6 USB Driver A USB Bluetooth device driver is required to provide a software interface between WT12 and Bluetooth software running on the host computer. Suitable drivers are available from www.bluegiga.com/techforum/. 5.2.7 USB 1.1 Compliance WT12 is qualified to the USB specification v1.1, details of which are available from http://www.usb.org. The specification contains valuable information on aspects such as PCB track impedance, supply inrush current and product labeling. Although WT12 meets the USB specification, Bluegiga Technologies cannot guarantee that an application circuit designed around the module is USB compliant. The choice of application circuit, component choice and PCB layout all affect USB signal quality and electrical characteristics. The information in this document is intended as a guide and should be read in association with the USB specification, with particular attention being given to Chapter 7. Independent USB qualification must be sought before an application is deemed USB compliant and can bear the USB logo. Such qualification can be obtained from a USB plug fest or from an independent USB test house. Terminals USB_D+ and USB_D- adhere to the USB specification 2.0 (Chapter 7) electrical requirements. 5.2.8 USB 2.0 Compatibility WT12 is compatible with USB v2.0 host controllers; under these circumstances the two ends agree the mutually acceptable rate of 12Mbits/s according to the USB v2.0 specification. Bluegiga Technologies Oy 5.3 SPI Interface The synchronous serial port interface (SPI) is for interfacing with other digital devices. The SPI port can be used for system debugging. It can also be used for programming the Flash memory. SPI interface is connected using the MOSI, MISO, CSB and CLK pins. The module operates as a slave and thus MISO is an output of the module. MISO is not in highimpedance state when CSB is pulled high. Instead, the module outputs 0 if the processor is running and 1 if it is stopped. Thus WT12 should not be connected in a multi-slave arrangement by simple parallel connection of slave MISO lines. The SPI interface cannot be used for application purposes, but is dedicated for debugging and firmware updates. Bluegiga Technologies Oy 5.4 PCM Interface Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) is a standard method used to digitize audio (particularly voice) patterns for transmission over digital communication channels. Through its PCM interface, WT12 has hardware support for continual transmission and reception of PCM data, thus reducing processor overhead for wireless headset applications. WT12 offers a bi directional digital audio interface that routes directly into the baseband layer of the on chip firmware. It does not pass through the HCI protocol layer. Hardware on WT12 allows the data to be sent to and received from a SCO connection. Up to three SCO connections can be supported by the PCM interface at any one time. WT12 can operate as the PCM interface Master generating an output clock of 128, 256 or 512kHz. When configured as PCM interface slave it can operate with an input clock up to 2048kHz. WT12 is compatible with a variety of clock formats, including Long Frame Sync, Short Frame Sync and GCI timing environments. It supports 13 or 16-bit linear, 8-bit -law or A-law companded sample formats at 8ksamples/s and can receive and transmit on any selection of three of the first four slots following PCM_SYNC. The PCM configuration options are enabled by setting the PS Key PS KEY_PCM_CONFIG32 (0x1b3). WT12 interfaces directly to PCM audio devices including the following: Qualcomm MSM 3000 series and MSM 5000 series CDMA baseband devices OKI MSM7705 four channel A-law and -law CODEC Motorola MC145481 8-bit A-law and -law CODEC Motorola MC145483 13-bit linear CODEC STW 5093 and 5094 14-bit linear CODECs BlueCore4-External is also compatible with the Motorola SSITM interface 5.4.1 PCM Interface Master/Slave When configured as the Master of the PCM interface, WT12 generates PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC. PCM_OUT WT12 PCM_IN PCM_CLK PCM_SYNC 128/256/512 kHz 8kHz Figure 12: WT12 as PCM master When configured as the Slave of the PCM interface, WT12 accepts PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC. PCM_CLK rates up to 2048kHz are accepted. Bluegiga Technologies Oy PCM_OUT WT12 PCM_IN Up to 2048kHz PCM_CLK PCM_SYNC 8kHz Figure 13: WT12 as PCM slave 5.4.2 Long Frame Sync Long Frame Sync is the name given to a clocking format that controls the transfer of PCM data words or samples. In Long Frame Sync, the rising edge of PCM_SYNC indicates the start of the PCM word. When WT12 is configured as PCM Master, generating PCM_SYNC and PCM_CLK, then PCM_SYNC is 8-bits long. When BlueCore4-External is configured as PCM Slave, PCM_SYNC may be from two consecutive falling edges of PCM_CLK to half the PCM_SYNC rate, i.e. 62.5s long. WT12 samples PCM_IN on the falling edge of PCM_CLK and transmits PCM_OUT on the rising edge. PCM_OUT may be configured to be high impedance on the falling edge of PCM_CLK in the LSB position or on the rising edge.

PCM_OUT may be configured to be high impedance on the falling edge of PCM_CLK in the LSB position or on the rising edge. 5.4.4 Multi Slot Operation More than one SCO connection over the PCM interface is supported using multiple slots. Up to three SCO connections can be carried over any of the first four slots.

With WT12 in Slave mode, the frequency of PCM_CLK can be up to 4.096MHz. 5.4.6 Slots and Sample Formats WT12 can receive and transmit on any selection of the first four slots following each sync pulse. Slot durations can be either 8 or 16 clock cycles. Duration's of 8 clock cycles may only be used with 8-bit sample formats. Durations of 16 clocks may be used with 8, 13 or 16-bit sample formats. WT12 supports 13-bit linear, 16-bit linear and 8-bit -law or A-law sample formats. The sample rate is 8ksamples/s. The bit order may be little or big Endian. When 16-bit slots are used, the 3 or 8 unused bits in each slot may be filled with sign extension, padded with zeros or a programmable 3-bit audio attenuation compatible with some Motorola CODECs.

In Master mode, PCM_SYNC may also be forced to 0 while keeping PCM_CLK running which some CODECS use to control power down. 5.4.8 PCM Configuration The PCM configuration is set using two PS Keys, PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32 and PSKEY_PCM_LOW_JITTER_CONFIG. The following tables detail these PS Keys. The default for PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32 key is 0x00800000 i.e. first slot following sync is active, 13-bit linear voice format, long frame sync and interface master generating 256kHz PCM_CLK from 4MHz internal clock with no tri-stating of PCM_OUT. PSKEY_PCM_LOW_JITTER_CONFIG is described in Table 17.

Table 17: PSKEY_PCM_LOW_JITTER_CONFIG Description Bluegiga Technologies Oy 6 I/O Parallel Ports The Parallel Input Output (PIO) Port is a general-purpose I/O interface to WT12. The port consists of six programmable, bi-directional I/O lines, PIO[2:7]. Programmable I/O lines can be accessed either via an embedded application running on WT12 or via private channel or manufacturer-specific HCI commands. All PIO lines are configured as inputs with weak pull downs at reset. PIO[2] / USB_PULL_UP (1) The function depends on whether WT12 is a USB or UART capable version. On UART versions, this terminal is a programmable I/O. On USB versions, it can drive a pull-up resistor on USB_D+. For application using external RAM this terminal may be programmed for chip select. PIO[3] / USB_WAKE_UP (1) On UART versions of WT12 this terminal is a programmable I/O. On USB versions, its function is selected by setting the Persistent Store Key PSKEY_USB_PIO_WAKEUP (0x2cf) either as a programmable I/O or as a USB_WAKE_UP function. PIO[4] / USB_ON (1) On UART versions of WT12 this terminal is a programmable I/O. On USB versions, the USB_ON function is also selectable. PIO[5] / USB_DETACH (1) On UART versions of WT12 this terminal is a programmable I/O. On USB versions, the USB_DETACH function is also selectable. PIO[6] / CLK_REQ Function is determined by Persistent Store Keys. Using PSKEY_CLOCK_REQUEST_ENABLE, (0x246) this terminal can be configured to be low when WT12 is in deep sleep and high when a clock is required. The clock must be supplied within 4ms of the rising edge of PIO[6] to avoid losing timing accuracy in certain Bluetooth operating modes. PIO[7] Programmable I/O terminal. Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 32 of 52 7 Software Stacks WT12 is supplied with Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR compliant stack firmware, which runs on the internal RISC microcontroller. The WT12 software architecture allows Bluetooth processing and the application program to be shared in different ways between the internal RISC microcontroller and an external host processor (if any). The upper layers of the Bluetooth stack (above HCI) can be run either on-chip or on the host processor. 7.1 iWRAP Stack iWRAP RFCOMM SDP L2CAP HCI LM LC 48kB RAM UART Host Baseband MCU Host I/O I/O Radio PCM PCM I/O Figure 22: WRAP THOR VM Stack In figure 23 above, the iWRAP software solution is described. In this version of the stack firmware shown no host processor is required to run the Bluetooth protocol stack. All software layers, including application software, run on the internal RISC processor in a protected user software execution environment known as a Virtual Machine (VM). The host processor interfaces to iWRAP software via one or more of the physical interfaces, which are also shown in the figure 23. The most common interfacing is done via UART interface using the ASCII commands supported by the iWRAP software. With these ASCII commands the user can access Bluetooth functionality without paying any attention to the complexity, which lies in the Bluetooth protocol stack. The user may write applications code to run on the host processor to control iWRAP software with ASCII commands and to develop Bluetooth powered applications.

This is the maximum allowed by Operation with up to seven active ACL links Scatternet v2.5 operation eSCO Operation with up to three SCO or eSCO links routed to one or more remote devices (dependent on the parameters requested by the host, for example, to have three HV3 SCO links, all the links must go to slave devices) All standard SCO voice coding including transparent SCO Standard operating modes: Page, Inquiry, Page-Scan and Inquiry-Scan All standard pairing, authentication, link key and encryption operations Standard Bluetooth power saving mechanisms: Hold, Sniff and Park modes, including Forced Hold Dynamic control of peers' transmit power via LMP Master/Slave switch Broadcast Channel quality driven data rate All standard Bluetooth test modes EDR Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 35 of 52 7.2.2 Extra functionality: The release extends the standard Bluetooth functionality with the following features: Support for BCSP, a proprietary, reliable alternative to the standard Bluetooth UART Host Transport (H4) o A set of manufacturer-specific HCI extension commands, called BCCMDs, which provide: o Access to the IC's general-purpose PIO port o Negotiated effective encryption key length on established Bluetooth links o Access to the firmware's random number generator o Controls to set the default and maximum transmit powers; helping to reduce interference between overlapping, fixed-location piconets o UART configuration o Radio transmitter enable/disable; using a simple command to connect to a dedicated hardware switch that determines whether the radio can transmit o Control of audio routing The firmware can read the voltage on several of the IC's external pins. This is normally used to build a battery monitor, using either VM or host code (BlueCore4-Audio Flash can also read the battery voltage internally). The firmware provides support using VM to control the on-chip Battery Charger hardware for those Ics that provide this functionality A block of BCCMDs provides access to the IC's PS configuration database. The database holds the device's Bluetooth address, Class of Device, radio (transmit class) configuration, SCO routing, LM and USB constants, etc. A UART break condition can be used in three ways: o Presenting a UART break condition to the IC can force the IC to perform a hardware reboot o Presenting a break condition at boot time can hold the IC in a low power state, preventing normal initialisation while the condition exists o With BCSP, the firmware can be configured to assert a break condition to the host before sending data; normally used to wake the host from a Deep Sleep state The DFU v1.0 standard has been extended with public/private key authentication, allowing manufacturers to control the firmware that can be loaded onto their Bluetooth modules A modified version of the DFU v1.0 protocol allows firmware upgrade via the IC's UART A block of "radio test" or BIST commands allows direct control of the IC's radio. This aids the development of modules' radio designs, and can be used to support Bluetooth qualification. The firmware provides the VM environment in which to run application-specific code. Although the VM is mainly used with BlueLab, the VM can be used with this build, configured to act as an HCI device, to perform simple tasks such as flashing LEDs via the IC's PIO port. Hardware low power modes: Shallow Sleep and Deep Sleep. The IC drops into modes that significantly reduce power consumption when the software goes idle. Support for eSCO connections at both HCI and RFCOMM levels SCO and eSCO channels are normally routed over HCI (over BCSP). However, up to three SCO/eSCO channels can be routed over the IC's single PCM port (at the same time as routing any other SCO/eSCO channels over HCI).

All software layers, including application software, run on the internal RISC processor in a protected user software execution environment known as a Virtual Machine (VM). The user may write custom application code to run on the BlueCore VM using BlueLabTM software development kit (SDK) supplied with the Casira development kit, available separately from Bluegiga or directly form CSR. This code will then execute alongside the main WRAP THOR firmware. The user is able to make calls to the WRAP THOR firmware for various operations. WRAP THOR firmware is not equal to iWRAP firmware, which on the contrary does not allow user to run own firmware in the module. The execution environment is structured so the user application does not adversely affect the main software routines, thus ensuring that the Bluetooth stack software component does not need re-qualification when the application is changed. Using the VM and the BlueLab SDK the user is able to develop applications such as a cordless headset or other profiles without the requirement of a host controller. BlueLab is supplied with example code including a full implementation of the headset profile. Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 37 of 52 Notes: Sample applications to control PIO lines can also be written with BlueLab SDK and the VM for the HCI stack. 7.4 Software Development WT12 Evaluation Kits are available to allow the evaluation of the WT12 hardware and software as well CSR BlueLab toolkit for developing on-chip and host software. Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 38 of 52 8 Enhanced Data Rate EDR has been introduced to provide 2x and optionally 3x data rates with minimal disruption to higher layers of the Bluetooth stack. CSR supports both of the new data rates, with WT12. WT12 is compliant with revision v2.0.E.2 of the specification. 8.1 Enhanced Data Rate Baseband At the baseband level EDR uses the same 1.6kHz slot rate as basic data rate and therefore the packets can be 1, 3, or 5 slots long as per the basic data rate. Where EDR differs from the basic data rate is that in the same 1MHz symbol rate 2 or 3bits are used per symbol, compared to 1bit per symbol used by the basic data rate. To achieve the increase in number of bits symbol, two new modulation schemes have been introduced as summarized in Table 18 presented below and the modulation schemes are explained in the further sections.

The reflow profile used is dependent on the thermal mass of the entire populated PCB, heat transfer efficiency of the oven and particular type of solder paste used. Consult the datasheet of particular solder paste for profile configurations. Bluegiga Technologies will give following recommendations for soldering the module to ensure reliable solder joint and operation of the module after soldering. Since the profile used is process and layout dependent, the optimum profile should be studied case by case. Thus following recommendation should be taken as a starting point guide. Refer to technical documentations of particular solder paste for profile configurations Avoid using more than one flow. Reliability of the solder joint and self-alignment of the component are dependent on the solder volume. Minimum of 150m stencil thickness is recommended. Aperture size of the stencil should be 1:1 with the pad size. A low residue, "no clean" solder paste should be used due to low mounted height of the component. 9.2 Layout guidelines It is strongly recommended to use good layout practices to ensure proper operation of the module. Placing copper or any metal near antenna deteriorates its operation by having effect on the matching properties. Metal shield around the antenna will prevent the radiation and thus metal case should not be used with the module. Use grounding vias separated max 3 mm apart at the edge of grounding areas to prevent RF penetrating inside the PCB and causing an unintentional resonator. Use GND vias all around the PCB edges. Figure 5 illustrates recommended PCB design around the antenna of WT12 when the module is placed at the edge of a PCB. Do not place copper on the top layer under the module, as shown in figure 5. The module has vias on the area shown, which can cause short circuit if there is copper underneath. Any metal placed closer than 20 mm in any direction from the antenna changes the matching properties and thus will considerably deteriorate the RF performance of the module. Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 41 of 52 Figure 26: Suggested PCB design around ACX antenna with the module at the edge of PCB Following recommendations helps to avoid EMC problems arising in the design. Note that each design is unique and the following list do not consider all basic design rules such as avoiding capacitive coupling between signal lines. Following list is aimed to avoid EMC problems caused by RF part of the module. Use good consideration to avoid problems arising from digital signals in the design. Do not remove copper from the PCB more than needed. Use ground filling as much as possible. However remove small floating islands after copper pour. Do not place a ground plane underneath the antenna. The grounding areas under the module should be designed as shown in Figure 26. Use conductive vias separated max. 3 mm apart at the edge of the ground areas. This prevents RF to penetrate inside the PCB. Use ground vias extensively all over the PCB. If you allow RF freely inside the PCB, you have a potential resonator in your hand. All the traces in (and on) the PCB are potential antennas. Avoid loops. Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 42 of 52 Ensure that signal lines have return paths as short as possible. For example if a signal goes to an inner layer through a via, always use ground vias around it. Locate them tightly and symmetrically around the signal vias. Routing of any sensitive signals should be done in the inner layers of the PCB. Sensitive traces should have a ground area above and under the line. If this is not possible make sure that the return path is short by other means (for example using a ground line next to the signal line).
