Suzhou Pairlink Network Technology Ltd. 1.Functional Characteristics Tigerkin is SOC module developed based on the Bluetooth 5 standards. the internal integration architecture ARM Cortex-M4 processor.It has the advantage of small volume, long distance transmission, strong anti-jamming capability, low cost.Specifically applied to Bluetooth low power control area,and suitable for various occasions short distance wireless communication. low power consumption, Tigerkin integral compact, simplifies the design in hardware and institution for user. The module interface open completely to make the users has more flexible secondary development space. The module has a PUART interface with CTS/RTS, The PUART is a standard 2-wire interface (RX and TX) and has adjustable baud rates from 9600bps to 3Mbps.The default baud rate for H5 is 115.2K baud. Both high and low baud rates can be supported by running the UART clock at 24 MHz. The Tigerkin UART operates correctly with the host UART as long as the combined baud rate error of the two devices is within 1%. The module includes 24Mhz Crystal and 8Mb SPI flash. The module also integrated with Ipex connector and ceramic antenna.users can better the expansion of the RF performance. All rights reserved

SuzhouPairlinkNetworkTechnologyLtd. Additionaltesting,Part15subpartBdisclaimer The final host / module combination need to be evaluated against the FCC Part 15B criteria for unintentional radiators in order to be properly authorized for operation as a Part 15 digital device. The host integrator installing this module into their product must ensure that the final composite product complies with the FCC requirements by a technical assessment or evaluation to the FCC rules, including the transmitter operation and should refer to guidance in KDB 996369. Frequency spectrum to be investigated For host products with certified modular transmitter, the frequency range of investigation of the composite system is specified by rule in Sections 15.33(a)(1) through (a)(3), or the range applicable to the digital device, as shown in Section 15.33(b)(1), whichever is the higher frequency range of investigation. Operating the host product When testing the host product, all the transmitters must be operating.The transmitters can be enabled by using publicly-available drivers and turned on, so the transmitters are active. In certain conditions it might be appropriate to use a technology-specific call box (test set) where accessory devices or drivers are not available. When testing for emissions from the unintentional radiator, the transmitter shall be placed in the receive mode or idle mode, if possible. If receive mode only is not possible then, the radio shall be passive (preferred) and/or active scanning. In these cases, this would need to enable activity on the communication BUS (i.e., PCIe, SDIO, USB) to ensure the unintentional radiator circuitry is enabled. Testing laboratories may need to add attenuation or filters depending on the signal strength of any active beacons (if applicable) from the enabled radio(s). See ANSI C63.4, ANSI C63.10 and ANSI C63.26 for further general testing details. The product under test is placed into a normal paired mode with another Bluetooth device, as per the normal intended use of the product. For example, data transfer, music playing, etc. FCCStatement AnyChangesormodificationsnotexpresslyapprovedbythepartyresponsibleforcompliance couldvoidtheusersauthoritytooperatetheequipment.Thisdevicecomplieswithpart15of theFCCRules.Operationissubjecttothefollowingtwoconditions:(1)Thisdevicemaynotcause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interferencethatmaycauseundesiredoperation.
