It consists of a highly integrated RF chip BK7231N and a few peripherals. CB3L not only supports the Wi-Fi AP and STA modes, but also supports the Bluetooth LE. 1 / 25 1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW 1 Product overview CB3L is built in with a 32-bit MCU whose running speed can be up to 120 MHz, a 2-MB ash memory, and a 256-KB RAM, so as to support the Tuya cloud connection. The MCU instructions specially extended for signal processing can eectively implement audio encoding and decoding. Besides, it has rich peripherals, such as PWM, UART and SPI. There are six 32-bit PWM outputs, making the chip very suitable for high-
quality LED control.

To prevent adverse impact on the antenna radiation performance, avoid copper or traces within the antenna area on the PCB. 13 / 25 6 PACKAGING INFORMATION AND PRODUCTION INSTRUCTIONS 6 Packaging information and production instructions 6.1 Mechanical dimensions The PCB dimensions are 160.35 mm (W)240.35 mm (L) 0.80.1 mm (H). 14 / 25 6 PACKAGING INFORMATION AND PRODUCTION INSTRUCTIONS 6.2 Side view 15 / 25 6 PACKAGING INFORMATION AND PRODUCTION INSTRUCTIONS 6.3 The schematic diagram of packaging 6.4 The diagram of PCB packaging-pin header CB3L can be packaged with the SMT or pin header.

16 / 25 6 PACKAGING INFORMATION AND PRODUCTION INSTRUCTIONS 6.5 Production instructions 1. For the modules that can be packaged with the SMT or in an in-line way, you can select either of them according to the PCB design solutions of customers. If a PCB is designed to be SMT-packaged, package the module with the SMT. If a PCB is designed to be in-line-packaged, package the module in an in-line way. After being unpacked, the module must be soldered within 24 hours. Otherwise, it needs to be put into the drying cupboard where the relative humidity is not greater than 10%; or it needs to be packaged again under vacuum and the exposure time needs to be recorded (the total exposure time cannot exceed 168 hours).

(Wave soldering process) Wave soldering devices Wave soldering equipment 17 / 25 6 PACKAGING INFORMATION AND PRODUCTION INSTRUCTIONS Wave soldering xture Constant-temperature soldering iron Tin bar, tin wire and ux Thermal proler Baking devices:
Cabinet oven Anti-electrostatic and heat-resistant trays Anti-electrostatic and heat-resistant gloves 2. Storage conditions for a delivered module:
The moisture-proof bag must be placed in an environment in which the temperature is below 40C and the relative humidity is lower than90%. The shelf life of a dry-packaged product is 12 months from the date when the product is packaged and sealed. There is a humidity indicator card (HIC) in the packaging bag. 3. The module needs to be baked in the following cases:
The packaging bag is damaged before unpacking. There is no humidity indicator card (HIC) in the packaging bag. After unpacking, circles of 10% and above on the HIC become pink. The total exposure time has lasted for over 168 hours since unpacking. More than 12 months has passed since the sealing of the bag. 4. Baking settings:
Temperature: 60C and 5% RH for reel package and 125C and 5%
RH for tray package (please use the heat-resistant tray rather than plastic container) Time: 48 hours for reel package and 12 hours for tray package Alarm temperature: 65C for reel package and 135C for tray package Production-ready temperature after natural cooling: < 36C 18 / 25 6 PACKAGING INFORMATION AND PRODUCTION INSTRUCTIONS Re-baking situation: If a module remains unused for over 168 hours after being baked, it needs to be baked again. If a batch of modules is not baked within 168 hours, do not use the reow soldering or wave soldering to solder them. Because these modules are Level-3 moisture-sensitive devices, they are very likely to get damp when exposed beyond the allowable time. In this case, if they are soldered at high temperatures, it may result in device failure or poor soldering. 5. In the whole production process, take electrostatic discharge (ESD) protective measures. 6. To guarantee the passing rate, it is recommended that you use the SPI and AOI to monitor the quality of solder paste printing and mounting. 6.6 Recommended oven temperature curve Select a proper soldering manner according to the process. For the SMT process, please refer to the recommended oven temperature curve of reow soldering. For the wave soldering process, please refer to the recommended oven temperature curve of wave soldering. There are some dierences between the set temperatures and the actual temperatures. All the temperatures shown in this module datasheet are obtained through actual measurements. Manner 1: SMT process (Recommended oven temperature curve of reow soldering) Set oven temperatures according to the followingcurve. 19 / 25 6 PACKAGING INFORMATION AND PRODUCTION INSTRUCTIONS A: Temperature axis B: Time axis C: Liquidus temperature: 217 to 220C D: Ramp-up slope: 1 to 3C/s perature: 150 to 200C F: Duration above the liquidus: 50 to 70s G: Peak temperature: 235 to 245C H: Ramp-down slope: 1 to 4C/s E: Duration of constant temperature: 60 to 120s; the range of constant tem-

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, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Note: This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, according to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential instal-
lation. This device generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used following the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this device does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the device o and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the device and receiver. Connect the device into an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Radiation Exposure Statement This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled 23 / 25 8 APPENDIX-STATEMENT rolled environment. This device should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator and your body. Important Note This radio module must not be installed to co-locate and operating simultaneously with other radios in the host system except following FCC multi-transmitter product procedures. Additional testing and device authorization may be required to operate simultaneously with other radios. The availability of some specic channels and/or operational frequency bands are country dependent and are rmware programmed at the factory to match the in-
tended destination. The rmware setting is not accessible by the end-user. The host product manufacturer is responsible for compliance with any other FCC rules that apply to the host not covered by the modular transmitter grant of certi-
cation. The nal host product still requires Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing with the modular transmitter installed.

mitter or antenna. As long as the 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter tests will not be re-
quired. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this moduleinstalled.
