3 BC840/M/E, Compact BLE 5, Thread, Zigbee ModulesVer 0.30 Dec. 2018 1. Introduction BluNor BC840 Series are powerful, highly flexible, ultra low power wireless modules using Nordic nRF52840 SoCs. With an ARMCortexTM M4F MCU, 1MB flash, 256KB RAM, embedded 2.4GHz multi-protocol transceiver, and an integrated antenna, it allows faster time to market with reduced development cost. The following is a block diagram of BC840. Antenna circuit and main clock are integrated. All 48 GPIOs of nRF52840 can be accessed from main board. For lower power consumption at idle state, a 32.768 kHz crystal can be added on the host board. Connection to an external NFC (Near Field Communication) antenna is provided. BC840 Block Diagram BlueNor BC840M is a sister module of BC840. The physical size is slightly larger to accommodate longer range PCB trace antenna.

Codes Development Using Nordic Tools Development tools by Nordic and other third party development tools recommended by Nordic should be used . Easy, fast and safe code development Nordic development environment for nRF52840 offers a clean separation between application code development and embedded protocol stacks. This means compile, link and run time dependencies with the embedded stack and associated debugging challenges are removed. The Bluetooth low energy and ANT stack is a pre-compiled binary, leaving application code to be compiled stand-alone. The embedded stack interface uses an asynchronous and event driven model removing the need for RTOS frameworks. Over-The-Air DFU The nRF52840 is supported by an Over-The-Air Device Firmware Upgrade (OTA DFU) feature. This allows for in the field updates of application software and SoftDevice. SoftDevices The Nordic protocol stacks are known as SoftDevices and complement the nRF52 Series SoCs. All nRF52 Series are programmable with software stacks from Nordic. This bring maximum flexibility to application development and allows the latest stack version to be programmed into the SoC. SoftDevices available from Nordic:
S140: Bluetooth low energy concurrent central/peripheral/observer/broadcaster stack. 5 BC840/M/E, Compact BLE 5, Thread, Zigbee ModulesVer 0.30 Dec. 2018 Development Tools Nordic Semiconductor provides a complete range of hardware and software development tools for the nRF52 Series devices. nRF52 DK board is recommended for firmware development. Nordic software development tools can be downloaded from the following webpage. http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=/com.nordic.infocenter.nrf52/dita/nrf52/development/nrf5 2_dev_kit.html&cp=1_1 6 BC840/M/E, Compact BLE 5, Thread, Zigbee ModulesVer 0.30 Dec. 2018 3. Product Descriptions Brief description of nRF52840 SoC is provided. For full description of the SoC, please download from Nordic Semiconductor website. https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/Bluetooth-low-energy Block Diagram of nRF52840 7 BC840/M/E, Compact BLE 5, Thread, Zigbee ModulesVer 0.30 Dec. 2018 The following is a block diagram of Nordic nRF52840 Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) SoC. Arrows with white heads indicate signals that share physical pins with other signals. The 32 bit ARM Cortex M4F MCU with hardware supports for DSP instructions and floating point operations, code density and execution speed are higher than other Cortex M MCU. The Programmable Peripheral Interconnect (PPI) system provides a 20-channel bus for direct and autonomous system peripheral communication without CPU intervention. This brings predictable latency times for peripheral to peripheral interaction and power saving benefits associated with leaving CPU idle. The device has 2 global power modes 8 BC840/M/E, Compact BLE 5, Thread, Zigbee ModulesVer 0.30 Dec. 2018 ON/OFF, but all system blocks and peripherals have individual power management control which allows for an automatic switching RUN/IDLE for system blocks based only on those required/not required to achieve particular tasks. The radio supports Bluetooth low energy and ANT. Output power is scalable from a maximum of +8dBm down to -20 dBm in 4dB steps. Sensitivity is increased to -96 dBm to -89 dBm, depending on data rate. Sensitivity for BLE is -96 dBm, and -92.5 dBm for ANT. The NFC block supports NFC-A tags with proximity detection and Wake-on-field from low power mode. The NFC enables Out-Of-Band (OOB) Bluetooth pairing of devices and thus greatly simplifying deployment. ARM Trustzone CryptoCell 310 ARM TrustZone CryptoCell-310co-processor is a security subsystem which provides Root of Trust (RoT) and cryptographic services for a device. CryptoCell services are available to the application through a software library API, not a hardware register interface. The following cryptographic features are provided.

For the best Bluetooth range performance, the antenna area of BC840M module shall extend 5.5 mm outside the edge of host PCB board, or 5.5 mm outside the edge of a ground plane. For the best Bluetooth range performance, the antenna area of BC840 module shall extend 2.5 mm outside the edge of host PCB board, or 2.5 mm outside the edge of a ground plane. The next choice is to place BC840M on a corner of host PCB, the antenna area shall extend 5.5 mm from the edge of ground plane. Ground plane shall be at least 5 mm from the edge of the antenna area of module. The next choice is to place BC840 on a corner of host PCB, the antenna area shall extend 2.5 mm from the edge of ground plane. Ground plane shall be at least 5 mm from the edge of the antenna area of module. We dont recommend mounting BC840 module in the middle of a host PCB. For the best Bluetooth range performance, keep all external metal at least 30mm from the antenna area. Host Board Layout Library components for some PCB layout software are available.
