Connected. Energy-friendly. Rev. 0.96 | 2 Blue Gecko BGM111 Bluetooth Smart Module Data Sheet Interfaces 3. Interfaces This section describes the features and functionalities of the interfaces and peripherals. 3.1 USART The Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter is a flexible serial I/O module. It supports full duplex asynchronous UART communication with hardware flow control as well as SPI. If UART is used as BGAPI serial protocol host interface it is strongly recommended to use RTS and CTS signals for reliable data trans-
mission. Figure 3.1. USART 3.2 Low Energy Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (LEUART) The unique LEUART provides two-way UART communication on a strict power budget. Only a 32.768 kHz clock is needed to allow UART communication up to 9600 baud. The LEUART includes all necessary hardware to make asynchronous serial communication possible with a minimum of software intervention and energy consumption. 3.3 I2C The I2C module provides an interface between the MCU and a serial I2C bus. It is capable of acting as both a master and a slave. Standard-mode, fast-mode and fast-mode plus speeds are supported, allowing transmission rates from 10 kbit/s up to 1 Mbit/s. Figure 3.2. I2C 3.4 Timer/Counter (TIMER) TIMER peripherals count events, generate PWM outputs. The core of each TIMER is a 16-bit counter. silabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly. Rev. 0.96 | 3 Blue Gecko BGM111 Bluetooth Smart Module Data Sheet Interfaces 3.5 Real Time Counter The Real Time Counter is a 32-bit counter providing timekeeping in all energy modes and it is capable of providing system wake-up at user defined instances. The RTCC includes 128 bytes of general purpose data retention, allowing easy and convenient data storage in all energy modes. 3.6 Low Energy Timer (LETIMER) The unique LETIMER is a 16-bit timer that is available in energy mode EM2 DeepSleep in addition to EM1 Sleep and EM0 Active. This allows it to be used for timing and output generation when most of the device is powered down, allowing simple tasks to be per-
formed while the power consumption of the system is kept at an absolute minimum. The LETIMER can be used to output a variety of waveforms with minimal software intervention. 3.7 Ultra Low Power Wake-Up Timer (CRYOTIMER) The CRYOTIMER is a 32-bit counter that is capable of running in all energy modes. It can be clocked by either the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator (LFXO), the 32.768 kHz RC oscillator (LFRCO) or the 1 kHz RC oscillator (ULFRCO). It can provide periodic Wakeup events and PRS signals which can be used to wake up peripherals from any energy mode. The CRYOTIMER provides a wide range of inter-
rupt periods, facilitating flexible ultra-low energy operation. 3.8 Pulse Counter (PCNT) The Pulse Counter (PCNT) peripheral can be used for counting pulses on a single input or to decode quadrature encoded inputs. 3.9 General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) BGM111 has 25 General Purpose Input/Output pins. Each GPIO pin can be individually configured as either an output or input. More advanced configurations including open-drain, open-source, and glitch-filtering can be configured for each individual GPIO pin. The GPIO pins can be overridden by peripheral connections, like SPI communication. Each peripheral connection can be routed to several GPIO pins on the device. The GPIO subsystem supports asynchronous external pin interrupts. When configured as GPIO output drive strength can be applied to pins on port by port basis and it can be either 1 mA or 10 mA. 3.10 Analog Comparator (ACMP) The Analog Comparator is used to compare the voltage of two analog inputs, with a digital output indicating which input voltage is high-
er. Inputs are selected from among internal references and external pins. The tradeoff between response time and current consumption is configurable by software. The ACMP can also be used to monitor the supply voltage from software. An interrupt can be generated when the supply falls below or rises above a programmable threshold. 3.11 Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) The ADC is a Successive Approximation Register (SAR) architecture, with a resolution of up to 12 bits up to 1 Msamples/sec. The out-
put sample resolution is configurable and additional resolution is possible using integrated hardware for averaging over multiple sam-
ples. The ADC includes integrated voltage references and an integrated temperature sensor. Inputs are selectable from a wide range of source, including pins configurable as either single-ended or differential. 3.12 Digital to Analog Current Converter (IDAC) The Digital to Analog Current Converter can source or sink a configurable constant current. This current can be driven on an output pin or routed to the selected ADC input pin for capacitive sensing. The current is programmable between 0.05 A and 64 A with several ranges with various step sizes. 3.13 Integrated DC-DC Converter (DC-DC) The DC-DC buck converter covers a wide range of load currents and provides high efficiency in energy modes EM0, EM1, EM2 and EM3. The converter operates in active and bypass operating modes. Bypass mode may be entered when the input voltage is too low for efficient operation of the DC-DC converter. In Bypass mode, the DC-DC input supply is internally connected directly to its output through a low resistance switch. Bypass mode also supports in-rush current limiting to avoid dipping the input supply due to excessive current transients. Note:
When DC/DC is enabled, supply voltage range is 2.4V to 3.8V. When DC/DC is disabled, supply voltage range is 1.8V to 3.8V. silabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly. Rev. 0.96 | 4 Blue Gecko BGM111 Bluetooth Smart Module Data Sheet Antenna 4. Antenna This section contain design guidelines and recommendations for the BGM111 antenna. 4.1 PCB Design Guidelines For optimal performance of the BGM111, please follow the following guidelines:
Place the module at the edge of the PCB as shown in the the figure below. Do not place any metal (traces, components, battery etc.) within the clearance area of the antenna. Connect all the GND pins directly to a solid GND plane. Place the GND vias as close to the GND pins as possible. Do not place plastic or any other dielectric material in touch with the antenna. Figure 4.1. Recommended Layout for BGM111 silabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly. Rev. 0.96 | 5 Blue Gecko BGM111 Bluetooth Smart Module Data Sheet Antenna Figure 4.2. Poor Layouts for BGM111 Figure 4.3. Impact of the Size of GND Plane to the BGM111 Range 4.2 Effect of Plastic and Metal Materials Do not place plastic or any other dielectric material in touch with 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. 4.3 Locating the Module Close to Human Body 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 reducing range. silabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly. Rev. 0.96 | 6 Blue Gecko BGM111 Bluetooth Smart Module Data Sheet Hardware Design Guidelines 5. Hardware Design Guidelines The BMG111 is an easy-to-use module with regard to hardware application design but certain design guidelines must be followed to guarantee optimal performance. These guidelines are listed in the next sub-sections. 5.1 Power Supply Requirements Coin cell batteries cannot withstand high peak currents (e.g. higher than 15 mA). If the peak current exceeds 15 mA its recommended to place 47 - 100 F capacitor in parallel with the coin cell battery to improve the battery life time. Notice that the total current consump-
tion of your application is a combination of the radio, peripherals and MCU current consumption so you must take all of these into ac-
count. BGM111 should be powered by a unipolar supply voltage with nominal value of 3.3 V. Operating voltage range of the module is 2.4 - 3.8 V when using the built-in DC/DC converter. External high frequency bypass capacitors are not needed because the module contains the required supply filter capacitors. However, care should be taken to prevent strong switching noise from being superimposed on the supply line. Such noise can be generated e.g. by on-board charge pump converters used in RS232 level shifters. If this type of switching noise is present, a power filter circuit on the VDD input is recommended. Note that there is a total of about 4.8 F of low ESR ceramic capacitors on the VDD line inside the module. When using low-dropout linear regulators to generate a regulated supply for the VDD line, the stability of the regulator with the low ESR provided by these capacitors should be checked. Many linear regulators and also some switched mode regulators are not stable when using ceramic output capacitors. The datasheet of the regulator typically lists recommendations concerning suitable capacitors includ-
ing data on ESR range and/or stability curves. A regulator which is stated stable with ceramic capacitors is recommended. 5.2 Power Saving Functions EM power saving modes are automatically controlled by the firmware and it always enters the lowest possible power save mode possi-
ble depending on the radio, peripheral and software activity. 5.3 Reset Functions The BGM111 can be reset by three different methods: by pulling the RESET line low, by the internal watchdog timer or software com-
mand. The reset state in BGM111 does not provide any power saving functionality and thus is not recommended as a means to con-
serve power. BGM111 has an internal system power-up reset function. The RESET pin includes an on-chip pull-up resistor and can therefore be left unconnected if no external reset switch or source is needed. 5.4 Debug and Firmware Updates This section contains information on debug and firmware update methods. 5.4.1 JTAG It is recommended to expose the JTAG debug pins in your own hardware design for firmware update and debug purposes. The follow-
ing table lists the required pins for JTAG connection. The debug pins have pull-down and pull-up enabled by default, so leaving them enabled may increase current consumption if left con-
nected to supply or ground. If enabling the JTAG pins the module must be power cycled to enable a SWD debug session. PAD NAME PAD NUMBER JTAG SIGNAL NAME COMMENTS Table 5.1. JTAG Pads PF3 PF2 PF1 PF0 24 23 22 21 5.4.2 DFU TDI TDO TMS TCK This pin is disabled after reset. Once enabled the pin has a built-in pull-up. This pin is disabled after reset Pin is enabled after reset and has a built-in pull-up Pin is enabled after reset and has a built-in pull-down It is also possible to update the firmware over UART using DFU protocol. However the bootloader cannot be updated using DFU but requires that the firmware is updated using JTAG. silabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly. Rev. 0.96 | 7 Blue Gecko BGM111 Bluetooth Smart Module Data Sheet Bluetooth Stack Software 6. Bluetooth Stack Software Silicon Labs Bluetooth Smart Software is a complete Bluetooth Smart software stack for the BGM111 Bluetooth Smart module. The software implements a full Bluetooth LE compatible stack and L2CAP, RFCOMM, SMP and ATT protocols along with any GATT based Bluetooth Smart profiles. The Bluetooth Smart Ready Software also is supported by a complete SDK for developing Bluetooth Smart applications using either an external host with the BGAPI serial protocol over UART or fully standalone applications based on a simple scripting language called BGScript. Several profiles and software project examples are offered as part of the Bluetooth Smart SDK to help expedite the development of Bluetooth Smart compatible end-user products. The main parts of the Bluetooth Smart software stack are shown below. Figure 6.1. Bluetooth Smart Ready Software Stack Note: To learn more about the Bluetooth Smart software stack, the SDK, and the APIs please read QSG108: Blue Gecko Bluetooth Smart Software Quick-Start Guide. silabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly. Rev. 0.96 | 8 Blue Gecko BGM111 Bluetooth Smart Module Data Sheet Host Interface 7. Host Interface This section contains information about the host interface available on the BGM111 module. 7.1 UART The BGM111 can be controlled over the UART interface as a peripheral to an external processor. In order for the communication to be reliable, hardware flow control signals (RTS and CTS) must be present between the host and the module. For baud rates exceeding 115200 kbps the controlling processor should have a clock frequency accurate to within 1% in order for the UART signaling to work reliably. When UART is used as a host interface (network co-processor mode) two optional I/O pins can be used either to wake-up the BGM111 from EM2 sleep mode when the host has commands or data to send or alternatively to wake-up the host when the BGM111 has events or data to the host. Default UART settings are listed below:

Rev. 0.96 | 16 Blue Gecko BGM111 Bluetooth Smart Module Data Sheet Pinout 10.2 GPIO Pins The 25 GPIO pins of BGM111 module are organized into ports with up to 16 pins each. These GPIO pins can individually be configured as either an output or input. More advanced configurations like open-drain, open-source, and glitch-filtering can be configured for each individual GPIO pin. GPIO pins can also be overridden by peripheral pin connections like TIMER PWM outputs or USART communica-
tion, which can be routed to several locations on the device. The GPIO supports up to 16 asynchronous external pin interrupts, which enable interrupts from any pin on the device. Also, the input value of a pin can be routed through the Peripheral Reflex System to other peripherals. Except for a few special functions, the internal signal crossbar allows various peripheral functions to be assigned freely to any GPIO pad, simplifying application board layout. Table 10.2.

Soldering Recommendations The BGM111 is compatible with industrial standard reflow profile for Pb-free solders. The reflow profile used is dependent on the ther-
mal mass of the entire populated PCB, heat transfer efficiency of the oven and particular type of solder paste used. Consult the data-
sheet of particular solder paste for profile configurations. The 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 recommen-
dation 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 150 m 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. If the vias used on the application board have a diameter larger than 0.3 mm, it is recommended to mask them at the module side to prevent solder wicking through the via holes. Solders have a tendency to fill holes and leave voids in the thermal pad solder junction, as well as form solder balls on the other side of the application board which can in some cases be problematic. silabs.com | Smart.
