System Overview 3.1 Block Diagram The BGM210P module is a highly-integrated, high-performance system with all the hardware components needed to enable 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity and to support robust networking capabilities via multiple protocols. Built around the EFR32BG21 Wireless Gecko SoC, the BGM210P includes a chip antenna, an RF matching network (optimized for transmit power efficiency), supply decoupling and filtering components, a 38.4 MHz reference crystal, and an RF shield. It also comes with a 50 -matched RF pin and allows the use of an external 32 kHz crystal as a low frequency reference signal via GPIO pins. Since the RF matching networks are optimized for transmit power efficiency, modules rated for +20 dBm will show non-optimal current consumption and performance when operated at a lower output power (e.g. +10 or 0 dBm). The same applies for modules rated for +10 dBm. Antenna RF Match RFPIN RF Match Supply Decoupling Silicon Labs EFR32BG21

BGM210P Block Diagram VDD IOVDD GPIO GND 3.2 EFR32BG21 SoC The EFR32BG21 SoC features a 32-bit ARM Cortex M33 core, a 2.4 GHz high-performance radio, 1 MB of Flash memory, a dedicated core for security, a rich set of MCU peripherals, and various clock management and serial interfacing options. Consult the EFR32xG21 Wireless Gecko Reference Manual and the EFR32BG21 Data Sheet for details. 3.3 Antenna BGM210P modules include a ceramic chip antenna on board with the characteristics detailed in the table below. They also include a 50
-matched RF pin to enable the use of an external antenna instead of the module's chip antenna. See 4.14.1 Antenna Radiation and Efficiency and 11.1 Qualified Antennas for other relevant details. Table 3.1. Antenna Efficiency and Peak Gain With optimal layout Note
-1 to -2 dB 1.86 dBi Antenna efficiency, gain and radiation pattern are highly depend-
ent on the application PCB layout and mechanical design. Refer to Design Guidelines for recommendations to achieve optimal an-
tenna performance. Parameter Efficiency Peak gain 3.4 Power Supply The BGM210P requires a single nominal supply level of 3.0 V to operate. However, it can support use cases needing different levels for the main supply (VDD) and for digital IO (IOVDD). All necessary decoupling and filtering components are included in the module. silabs.com | Building a more connected world. Rev. 0.5 | 6 BGM210P Blue Gecko Bluetooth Module Data Sheet Electrical Specifications 4. Electrical Specifications All electrical parameters in all tables are specified under the following conditions, unless stated otherwise:
Typical values are based on TA=25 C and VDD supply at 3.0 V, by production test and/or technology characterization. Radio performance numbers are measured in conducted mode, based on Silicon Laboratories reference designs using output pow-
er-specific external RF impedance-matching networks for interfacing to a 50 antenna. Minimum and maximum values represent the worst conditions across supply voltage, process variation, and operating temperature, unless stated otherwise. 4.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings Stresses above those listed below may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the devices at those or any other conditions above those indicated in the operation listings of this specification is not implied.

Design Guidelines 7.1 Layout and Placement For optimal performance of the BGM210P, BGM210P Blue Gecko Bluetooth Module Data Sheet Design Guidelines Place the module aligned to the edge of the application PCB, as illustrated in the figures below. Leave the antenna clearance area void of any traces, components, or copper on all layers of the application PCB if you are going to use the on-board chip antenna Antenna clearance area is not necessary if you are using an external antenna attached to the RF pin. For external antenna use cases, use a 50 grounded coplanar transmission line to trace the signal from the RF pin to an exter-
nal RF connector if applicable (see Figure 7.2 Recommended Layout for BGM210P Using External Antenna on page 29). A general rule is to use 50 transmission lines where the length of the RF trace is longer than /16 at the fundamental frequen-
cy, which for 2.4 GHz is approximately 7.8 mm. A U.FL connector can be used in the host PCB for the connection to an external antenna. The use of a U.FL connector is also recommended for conductive tests. The integrator must use a unique connector, such as a reverse polarity SMA or reverse thread SMA, if detachable antenna is offered with the host chassis. This is especially required for the FCC and ISED approvals to remain valid, and any other kind of direct connector to the antenna might require a permissive change. A trace length of 2.6 mm was used in the certifications host board to connect the module RF pin to the U.FL connector. For reference, Figure 7.4 RF Trace Design Example on page 30 shows a set of parameters for a 50 trace. Trace impedance should always be matched to the particular stack-up used on the host board. Connect all ground pads directly to a solid ground plane. Place the ground vias as close to the ground pads as possible. Do not place plastic or any other dielectric material in contact with the antenna.

Recommended Layout for BGM210P Using External Antenna The figure below illustrates layout scenarios that will lead to severely degraded RF performance for the module. Copper Clearance Area XGND plane width Figure 7.3. Non-Optimal Layout Examples The width of the GND plane to the sides the module will impact the efficiency of the on-board chip antenna. To achieve optimal per-
formance, a GND plane width of 50 mm is recommended. See Figure 4.1 Typical 2D Antenna Radiation Patterns and Efficiency on page 20 for reference. silabs.com | Building a more connected world. Rev. 0.5 | 29 BGM210P Blue Gecko Bluetooth Module Data Sheet Design Guidelines Figure 7.4. RF Trace Design Example 7.2 Proximity to Other Materials Avoid placing plastic or any other dielectric material in close proximity to the antenna. Any metallic objects in close proximity to the antenna will prevent the antenna from radiating freely. The minimum recommended dis-
tance of metallic and/or conductive objects is 10 mm in any direction from the antenna except in the directions of the application PCB ground planes. 7.3 Proximity to Human Body Placing the module in contact with or very close to the human body will negatively impact antenna efficiency and reduce range. silabs.com | Building a more connected world.

SILICON LABORATORIES FINLAND OY Alberga Business Park, Bertel Jungin aukio 3, 02600 Espoo, Finland 11.1 Qualified Antennas BGM210P modules have been tested and certified both with the on-board chip antenna and with an external antenna attached to the RF pin (RF2G4_IO2). Performance characteristics for the chip antenna are presented in Table 3.1 Antenna Efficiency and Peak Gain on page 6 and Figure 4.1 Typical 2D Antenna Radiation Patterns and Efficiency on page 20. Details for the external antenna qualified are summarized in the table below. Table 11.1. Qualified External Antennas for BGM210P Antenna Type Maximum Gain Connectorized Coaxial Dipole 2.14 dBi Impedance 50 Any antenna of the same general type and of equal or less directional gain as listed in the above table can be used in the regulatory areas that have a full modular radio approval (USA, Canada, Korea, Japan) as long as spot-check testing is performed to verify that no performance changes compromising compliance have been introduced. In countries applying the ETSI standards, like the EU countries, the radiated emissions are always tested with the end-product and the antenna type is not critical, but antennas with higher gain may violate some of the regulatory limits. If an antenna of a different type (such as a chip antenna, a PCB trace antenna or a patch) with a gain less than or equal to 2.14 dBi is needed, it can be added as a permissive change, requiring some radiated emission testing. Antenna types with more gain than 2.14 dBi may require a fully new certification. Since the exact permissive change procedure is chosen on a case by case basis, please consult your test house and/or certification body for understanding the correct approach. You might also want or need to get in touch with Sili-
con Labs for any authorization letter that your certification body might ask for. 11.2 CE The BGM210P module is in conformity with the essential requirements and other relevant requirements of the Radio Equipment Direc-
tive (RED) (2014/53/EU). Please note that every application using the BGM210P will need to perform the radio EMC tests on the end product, according to EN 301 489-17. It is ultimately the responsibility of the manufacturer to ensure the compliance of the end-product. The specific product assembly may have an impact to RF radiated characteristics, and manufacturers should carefully consider RF radiated testing with the end-product assembly. A formal Declaration of Conformity (DoC) is available via https://www.silabs.com/. 11.3 FCC This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules when operating with the embedded antenna or with the antenna type(s) listed in Table 11.1. 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 undesirable operation. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Silicon Labs could void the users authority to operate the equipment. FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users must follow the specif-
ic operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This transmitter meets the Mobile requirements at a distance of 20 cm and above from the human body, in accordance to the limit(s) exposed in the RF Exposure Analysis. This transmitter also meets the Portable requirements at distances equal or above 5.3 mm for the BGM210P22A and 44.0 mm for the BGM210P32A. These distances are reported for convenience also in Table 11.2. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other an-
tenna or transmitter except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures. silabs.com | Building a more connected world. Rev. 0.5 | 36 BGM210P Blue Gecko Bluetooth Module Data Sheet Certifications OEM Responsibilities to comply with FCC Regulations This module has been tested for compliance to FCC Part 15. OEM integrators are responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements needed with this module in-
stalled (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.). Additionally, investigative measurements and spot checking are strongly recommended to verify that the full system compliance is maintained when the module is integrated, in accord-
ance to the "Host Product Testing Guidance" in FCC's KDB 996369 D04 Module Integration Guide V01. General Considerations This transmitter module is tested as a subsystem and its certification does not cover the FCC Part 15 Subpart B (unintentional radia-
tor) rule requirement applicable to the final host. The final host will still need to be reassessed for compliance to this portion of rule requirements if applicable. Manual Information to the End User 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 users manual of the end product which integrates this module. The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warnings as shown in this manual. OEM/Host Manufacturer Responsibilities OEM/Host manufacturers are ultimately responsible for the compliance of the Host and Module. The final product must be reas-
sessed against all the essential requirements of the FCC rule such as FCC Part 15 Subpart B before it can be placed on the US market. This includes reassessing the transmitter module for compliance with the Radio and EMF essential requirements of the FCC rules. This module must not be incorporated into any other device or system without retesting for compliance as multi-radio and combined equipment. Separation To meet the SAR exemption for portable conditions, the minimum separation distance indicated in Table 11.2 must be maintained between the human body and the radiator (antenna) at all times. In particular, the minimum distance must be 5.3 mm for the BGM210P22A and 44.0 mm for the BGM210P32A. This transmitter module is tested in a standalone mobile RF exposure condition, and in case of any co-located radio transmitter be-
ing allowed to transmit simultaneously, or in case of portable use at closer distances from the human body than those allowing the exceptions rules to be applied, a separate additional SAR evaluation will be required, ultimately leading to a Class II Permissive Change, or more rarely to a new grant. Important Note: In the event that these conditions cannot be met, the final product will have to undergo additional testing to evalu-
ate the RF exposure in order for the FCC authorization to remain valid, and a permissive change will have to be applied. The evalua-
tion (SAR) is in the responsibility of the end-products manufacturer, as well as the permissive change that can be carried out with the help of the customer's own Telecommunication Certification Body as the grant holders agent. End Product Labeling BGM210P modules are labeled with their own FCC ID. If the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. In that case, the final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:
"Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: QOQGM210P"
Or
"Contains FCC ID: QOQGM210P"
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module or change RF related parameters in the user manual of the end product. As long as all conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed. silabs.com | Building a more connected world. Rev. 0.5 | 37 BGM210P Blue Gecko Bluetooth Module Data Sheet Certifications Class B Device Notice This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with 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 equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off 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 equipment and receiver Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help silabs.com | Building a more connected world. Rev. 0.5 | 38 BGM210P Blue Gecko Bluetooth Module Data Sheet Certifications 11.4 ISED Canada ISED This radio transmitter (IC: 5123A-GM210P) has been approved by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED Canada, formerly Industry Canada) to operate with the embedded antenna and with the antenna type(s) listed in 11.1 Qualified Anten-
nas, with the maximum permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain listed, are strictly prohibited for use with this device. This device complies with ISEDs license-exempt RSS standards. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference; and 2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device RF Exposure Statement Exception from routine SAR evaluation limits are given in RSS-102 Issue 5. The module meets the given requirements when the minimum separation distance to human body is as indicated in Table 11.2. RF exposure or SAR evaluation is not required when the separation distances from the human body are equal or above 20 mm for the BGM210P22A and 40 mm for the BGM210P32A. These distances are reported for convenience also in Table 11.2. If the separation distance is less than stated above the OEM integrator is responsible for evaluating the SAR. OEM Responsibilities to comply with IC Regulations The module has been certified for integration into products only by OEM integrators under the following conditions:
The antenna must be installed such that a minimum separation distance as stated above is maintained between the radiator (anten-
na) and all persons at all times. The transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Important Note: In the event that these conditions cannot be met, the final product will have to undergo additional testing to evaluate the RF exposure in order for the ISED authorization to remain valid, and a permissive change will have to be applied with the help of the customer's own Telecommunication Certification Body typically acting as the certificate holders agent. End Product Labeling The BGM210P module is labeled with its own IC ID. If the IC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. In that case, the final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:
Contains Transmitter Module IC: 5123A-GM210P or Contains IC: 5123A-GM210P The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module or change RF related parameters in the user manual of the end product. As long as all the conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still respon-
sible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.). CAN ICES-003 (B) This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. silabs.com | Building a more connected world.

Rev. 0.5 | 40 BGM210P Blue Gecko Bluetooth Module Data Sheet Certifications 11.5 Proximity to Human Body When using the module in an application where the radio is located close to the human body, the human RF exposure must be evalu-
ated. FCC, ISED, and CE all have different standards for evaluating the RF exposure, and because of this, each standard requires a different minimum separation distance between the module and human body. Certification of BGM210P allows for the minimum separa-
tion distances detailed in the table below in portable use cases (less than 20 cm from human body). The module is approved for the mobile use case (more than 20 cm) without any need for RF exposure evaluation. Table 11.2. Minimum Separation Distances for SAR Evaluation Exemption Certification BGM210P22A BGM210P32A FCC ISED CE 5.3 mm 20 mm 44.0 mm 40 mm The RF exposure must always be evaluated using the end-product when transmitting with power levels high-
er than 20 mW (13 dBm). For FCC and ISED, using the module in end-products where the separation distance from the human body is smaller than that listed above is allowed but requires evaluation of the RF exposure in the final assembly and applying for a Class 2 Permissive Change or Change of ID to be applied to the existing FCC/ISED approvals of the module. For CE, RF exposure must be evaluated using the end-
product in all cases when transmitting a more than the power level indicated in the table. Note: Placing the module in touch or very close to the human body will have a negative impact on the efficiency of the antenna thus a reduced range is to be expected. silabs.com | Building a more connected world.

System Overview 3.1 Block Diagram The MGM210P module is a highly-integrated, high-performance system with all the hardware components needed to enable 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity and to support robust networking capabilities via multiple protocols. Built around the EFR32MG21 Wireless Gecko SoC, the MGM210P includes a chip antenna, an RF matching network (optimized for transmit power efficiency), supply decoupling and filtering components, a 38.4 MHz reference crystal, and an RF shield. It also comes with a 50 -matched RF pin and allows the use of an external 32 kHz crystal as a low frequency reference signal via GPIO pins. Since the RF matching networks are optimized for transmit power efficiency, modules rated for +20 dBm will show non-optimal current consumption and performance when operated at a lower output power (e.g. +10 or 0 dBm). The same applies for modules rated for +10 dBm. Antenna RF Match RFPIN RF Match Supply Decoupling Silicon Labs EFR32MG21

Consult the EFR32xG21 Wireless Gecko Reference Manual and the EFR32MG21 Data Sheet for details. 3.3 Antenna MGM210P modules include a ceramic chip antenna on board with the characteristics detailed in the table below. They also include a 50
-matched RF pin to enable the use of an external antenna instead of the module's chip antenna. See 4.16.1 Antenna Radiation and Efficiency and 11.1 Qualified Antennas for other relevant details. Table 3.1. Antenna Efficiency and Peak Gain With optimal layout Note
-1 to -2 dB 1.86 dBi Antenna efficiency, gain and radiation pattern are highly depend-
ent on the application PCB layout and mechanical design. Refer to Design Guidelines for recommendations to achieve optimal an-
tenna performance. Parameter Efficiency Peak gain 3.4 Power Supply The MGM210P requires a single nominal supply level of 3.0 V to operate. However, it can support use cases needing different levels for the main supply (VDD) and for digital IO (IOVDD).

Design Guidelines 7.1 Layout and Placement For optimal performance of the MGM210P, MGM210P Mighty Gecko Module Data Sheet Design Guidelines Place the module aligned to the edge of the application PCB, as illustrated in the figures below. Leave the antenna clearance area void of any traces, components, or copper on all layers of the application PCB if you are going to use the on-board chip antenna Antenna clearance area is not necessary if you are using an external antenna attached to the RF pin. For external antenna use cases, use a 50 grounded coplanar transmission line to trace the signal from the RF pin to an exter-
nal RF connector if applicable (see Figure 7.2 Recommended Layout for MGM210P Using External Antenna on page 30). A general rule is to use 50 transmission lines where the length of the RF trace is longer than /16 at the fundamental frequen-
cy, which for 2.4 GHz is approximately 7.8 mm. A U.FL connector can be used in the host PCB for the connection to an external antenna. The use of a U.FL connector is also recommended for conductive tests. The integrator must use a unique connector, such as a reverse polarity SMA or reverse thread SMA, if detachable antenna is offered with the host chassis. This is especially required for the FCC and ISED approvals to remain valid, and any other kind of direct connector to the antenna might require a permissive change. A trace length of 2.6 mm was used in the certifications host board to connect the module RF pin to the U.FL connector. For reference, Figure 7.4 RF Trace Design Example on page 31 shows a set of parameters for a 50 trace. Trace impedance should always be matched to the particular stack-up used on the host board. Connect all ground pads directly to a solid ground plane. Place the ground vias as close to the ground pads as possible. Do not place plastic or any other dielectric material in contact with the antenna.

Copper Clearance Area XGND plane width Figure 7.3. Non-Optimal Layout Examples The width of the GND plane to the sides the module will impact the efficiency of the on-board chip antenna. To achieve optimal per-
formance, a GND plane width of 50 mm is recommended. See Figure 4.1 Typical 2D Antenna Radiation Patterns and Efficiency on page 21 for reference. silabs.com | Building a more connected world. Rev. 0.5.1 | 30 MGM210P Mighty Gecko Module Data Sheet Design Guidelines Figure 7.4. RF Trace Design Example 7.2 Proximity to Other Materials Avoid placing plastic or any other dielectric material in close proximity to the antenna. Any metallic objects in close proximity to the antenna will prevent the antenna from radiating freely. The minimum recommended dis-
tance of metallic and/or conductive objects is 10 mm in any direction from the antenna except in the directions of the application PCB ground planes. 7.3 Proximity to Human Body Placing the module in contact with or very close to the human body will negatively impact antenna efficiency and reduce range. silabs.com | Building a more connected world.

Certifications This section details the regulatory certification status of the module in various regions. The address for the module manufacturer and certification applicant is:
SILICON LABORATORIES FINLAND OY Alberga Business Park, Bertel Jungin aukio 3, 02600 Espoo, Finland 11.1 Qualified Antennas MGM210P modules have been tested and certified both with the on-board chip antenna and with an external antenna attached to the RF pin (RF2G4_IO2). Performance characteristics for the chip antenna are presented in Table 3.1 Antenna Efficiency and Peak Gain on page 6 and Figure 4.1 Typical 2D Antenna Radiation Patterns and Efficiency on page 21. Details for the external antenna qualified are summarized in the table below. Table 11.1. Qualified External Antennas for MGM210P Antenna Type Maximum Gain Connectorized Coaxial Dipole 2.14 dBi Impedance 50 Any antenna of the same general type and of equal or less directional gain as listed in the above table can be used in the regulatory areas that have a full modular radio approval (USA, Canada, Korea, Japan) as long as spot-check testing is performed to verify that no performance changes compromising compliance have been introduced. In countries applying the ETSI standards, like the EU countries, the radiated emissions are always tested with the end-product and the antenna type is not critical, but antennas with higher gain may violate some of the regulatory limits. If an antenna of a different type (such as a chip antenna, a PCB trace antenna or a patch) with a gain less than or equal to 2.14 dBi is needed, it can be added as a permissive change, requiring some radiated emission testing. Antenna types with more gain than 2.14 dBi may require a fully new certification. Since the exact permissive change procedure is chosen on a case by case basis, please consult your test house and/or certification body for understanding the correct approach. You might also want or need to get in touch with Sili-
con Labs for any authorization letter that your certification body might ask for. 11.2 CE The MGM210P module is in conformity with the essential requirements and other relevant requirements of the Radio Equipment Direc-
tive (RED) (2014/53/EU). Please note that every application using the MGM210P will need to perform the radio EMC tests on the end product, according to EN 301 489-17. It is ultimately the responsibility of the manufacturer to ensure the compliance of the end-product. The specific product assembly may have an impact to RF radiated characteristics, and manufacturers should carefully consider RF radiated testing with the end-product assembly. A formal Declaration of Conformity (DoC) is available via https://www.silabs.com/. 11.3 FCC This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules when operating with the embedded antenna or with the antenna type(s) listed in Table 11.1. 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 undesirable operation. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Silicon Labs could void the users authority to operate the equipment. FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users must follow the specif-
ic operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This transmitter meets the Mobile requirements at a distance of 20 cm and above from the human body, in accordance to the limit(s) exposed in the RF Exposure Analysis. This transmitter also meets the Portable requirements at distances equal or above 5 mm for the MGM210P22A and 36.17 mm for the MGM210P32A in the case of Zigbee, and respectively 5.3 mm and 44.0 mm in the case of Bluetooth Low Energy. These distances are reported for convenience also in Table 11.2. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except in ac-
cordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures. silabs.com | Building a more connected world. Rev. 0.5.1 | 37 MGM210P Mighty Gecko Module Data Sheet Certifications OEM Responsibilities to comply with FCC Regulations This module has been tested for compliance to FCC Part 15. OEM integrators are responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements needed with this module in-
stalled (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.). Additionally, investigative measurements and spot checking are strongly recommended to verify that the full system compliance is maintained when the module is integrated, in accord-
ance to the "Host Product Testing Guidance" in FCC's KDB 996369 D04 Module Integration Guide V01. General Considerations This transmitter module is tested as a subsystem and its certification does not cover the FCC Part 15 Subpart B (unintentional radia-
tor) rule requirement applicable to the final host. The final host will still need to be reassessed for compliance to this portion of rule requirements if applicable. Manual Information to the End User 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 users manual of the end product which integrates this module. The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warnings as shown in this manual. OEM/Host Manufacturer Responsibilities OEM/Host manufacturers are ultimately responsible for the compliance of the Host and Module. The final product must be reas-
sessed against all the essential requirements of the FCC rule such as FCC Part 15 Subpart B before it can be placed on the US market. This includes reassessing the transmitter module for compliance with the Radio and EMF essential requirements of the FCC rules. This module must not be incorporated into any other device or system without retesting for compliance as multi-radio and combined equipment. Separation To meet the SAR exemption for portable conditions, the minimum separation distance indicated in Table 11.2 must be maintained between the human body and the radiator (antenna) at all times. In particular, in the use case of Zigbee the minimum distance must be 5 mm for the MGM210P22A and 36.17 mm for the MGM210P32A, whereas in the use case of Bluetooth Low Energy the mini-
mum distances must be 5.3 mm and 44.0 mm respectively. This transmitter module is tested in a standalone mobile RF exposure condition, and in case of any co-located radio transmitter be-
ing allowed to transmit simultaneously, or in case of portable use at closer distances from the human body than those allowing the exceptions rules to be applied, a separate additional SAR evaluation will be required, ultimately leading to a Class II Permissive Change, or more rarely to a new grant. Important Note: In the event that these conditions cannot be met, the final product will have to undergo additional testing to evalu-
ate the RF exposure in order for the FCC authorization to remain valid, and a permissive change will have to be applied. The evalua-
tion (SAR) is in the responsibility of the end-products manufacturer, as well as the permissive change that can be carried out with the help of the customer's own Telecommunication Certification Body as the grant holders agent. End Product Labeling MGM210P modules are labeled with their own FCC ID. If the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. In that case, the final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:
"Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: QOQGM210P"
Or
"Contains FCC ID: QOQGM210P"
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module or change RF related parameters in the user manual of the end product. As long as all conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed. silabs.com | Building a more connected world. Rev. 0.5.1 | 38 MGM210P Mighty Gecko Module Data Sheet Certifications Class B Device Notice This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with 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 equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off 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 equipment and receiver Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help silabs.com | Building a more connected world. Rev. 0.5.1 | 39 MGM210P Mighty Gecko Module Data Sheet Certifications 11.4 ISED Canada ISED This radio transmitter (IC: 5123A-GM210P) has been approved by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED Canada, formerly Industry Canada) to operate with the embedded antenna and with the antenna type(s) listed in 11.1 Qualified Anten-
nas, with the maximum permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain listed, are strictly prohibited for use with this device. This device complies with ISEDs license-exempt RSS standards. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference; and 2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device RF Exposure Statement Exception from routine SAR evaluation limits are given in RSS-102 Issue 5. The module meets the given requirements when the minimum separation distance to human body is as indicated in Table 11.2. RF exposure or SAR evaluation is not required when the separation distances from the human body are equal or above 15 mm for the MGM210P22A and 35 mm for the MGM210P32A in the case of Zigbee, and respectively 20 mm and 40 mm in the case of Bluetooth Low Energy. These distances are reported for convenience also in Table 11.2. If the separation distance is less than stated above the OEM integrator is responsible for evaluating the SAR. OEM Responsibilities to comply with IC Regulations The module has been certified for integration into products only by OEM integrators under the following conditions:
The antenna must be installed such that a minimum separation distance as stated above is maintained between the radiator (anten-
na) and all persons at all times. The transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Important Note: In the event that these conditions cannot be met, the final product will have to undergo additional testing to evaluate the RF exposure in order for the ISED authorization to remain valid, and a permissive change will have to be applied with the help of the customer's own Telecommunication Certification Body typically acting as the certificate holders agent. End Product Labeling The MGM210P module is labeled with its own IC ID. If the IC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. In that case, the final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:
Contains Transmitter Module IC: 5123A-GM210P or Contains IC: 5123A-GM210P The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module or change RF related parameters in the user manual of the end product. As long as all the conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still respon-
sible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).

Rev. 0.5.1 | 41 MGM210P Mighty Gecko Module Data Sheet Certifications 11.5 Proximity to Human Body When using the module in an application where the radio is located close to the human body, the human RF exposure must be evalu-
ated. FCC, ISED, and CE all have different standards for evaluating the RF exposure, and because of this, each standard requires a different minimum separation distance between the module and human body. Certification of MGM210P allows for the minimum sepa-
ration distances detailed in the table below in portable use cases (less than 20 cm from human body). The module is approved for the mobile use case (more than 20 cm) without any need for RF exposure evaluation. Table 11.2. Minimum Separation Distances for SAR Evaluation Exemption Certification MGM210P22A MGM210P32A FCC ISED CE Bluetooth: 5.3 mm, Zigbee: 5 mm Bluetooth: 44.03 mm, Zigbee: 36.17 mm Bluetooth: 20 mm, Zigbee: 15 mm Bluetooth: 40 mm, Zigbee: 35 mm The RF exposure must always be evaluated using the end-product when transmitting with power levels high-
er than 20 mW (13 dBm). For FCC and ISED, using the module in end-products where the separation distance from the human body is smaller than that listed above is allowed but requires evaluation of the RF exposure in the final assembly and applying for a Class 2 Permissive Change or Change of ID to be applied to the existing FCC/ISED approvals of the module. For CE, RF exposure must be evaluated using the end-
product in all cases when transmitting a more than the power level indicated in the table. Note: Placing the module in touch or very close to the human body will have a negative impact on the efficiency of the antenna thus a reduced range is to be expected. silabs.com | Building a more connected world.

. Antenna Type Hardware Note MGM21OP22A Low-Power, MGM21OP32A High-Power,
. Zigbee and/or BLE
. Zigbee and/or BLE BGM21OP22A BGM21OP32A Low-Power, BLE High-Power, BLE 1. On-board ceramic chip antenna with 1 .S6dBi of gain 2. Reference external dipole antenna with the theoretical gain of 2.l4dBi which can be optionally connected to modules RE pin The wireless chipset (System-on-Chip, S0C) is the same in all these modules, and it integrates a PA subsystem and a RF switch to route the RF signal to two separate RF ports, one further routed to the modules integral on-board ceramic chip antenna, and the other routed to a modules RE pin for an optional external antenna. Both antennas can be used for a switched diversity implementation with Zigbee-only. There cannot be simultaneous transmission out of the two RE ports, and packets are transmitted only using one protocol at a time. lOdBm 2OdBm RE maxTX power Differences: The MGM21 OP modules are for Zigbee + BLE, while the BGM21 OP modules are for BLE only. The Zigbee is disabled in the BGM21 OP by a hardcoded software configuration in the SoC. The 22 and 32 in the model names indicate the power variant, 22 referring to the low-power variants which are allowed to transmit at up to 1 OdBm, based on a purely hardcoded software limitation in the SoC, whereas the 32 indicates the high-power variants for up to 2OdBm. Hardware-wise, the two power variants only differ in their 500 matching networks which are optimized for the related max allowed output power. lOdBm 2OdBm Should you have any question, feeL free to contact the undersigned directLy.
