UBX-19039467 - R06 Pin definition Page 10 of 36 BMD-380 - Data sheet 2.2 Peripheral pins The BMD-380 features a pin multiplexing system that allows most internal peripherals, such as UART and SPI, to be used on any GPIO pin. This freedom in pin choice enables better optimization of designs and PCB layout. Only one peripheral signal can be multiplexed to a GPIO pin at a time. Some functions are restricted to certain pins due to additional internal circuitry required by the interface. These include: Trace signals, analog inputs, XTAL signals, USB signals, SWD interface, and reset. See Table 3.

Some peripherals on the BMD-380 share the same memory location for their registers. This means that only one of these peripherals can be used at a time. It is possible to switch between peripherals that share the same register location by clearing and reinitializing the associated configuration registers.

These are stress ratings only. Operating the module at these or at any conditions other than those specified in the Operating conditions section of this document should be avoided. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. Operating condition ranges define those limits within which the functionality of the device is guaranteed. Where application information is given, it is advisory only and does not form part of the specification. 3.1 Absolute maximum ratings Symbol VCC_MAX VCCH_MAX VBUS_MAX VIO_MAX VIO_MAX TS Description Voltage on supply pin Voltage on VCCH supply pin Voltage on VBUS Supply pin Voltage on GPIO pins (VCC > 3.6 V) Voltage on GPIO pins (VCC 3.6 V) Storage Temperature Range Table 5: Absolute maximum ratings Min 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 40 Max 3.9 5.8 5.8 3.9 125 VCC + 0.3 V Unit V V V V V C The product is not protected against overvoltage or reversed voltages.

UBX-19039467 - R06 Electrical specifications Page 12 of 36 BMD-380 - Data sheet 3.3 Power and DCDC configuration The BMD-380 is based on the nRF52840, revision 2 or newer IC. The BMD-380 has two internal regulator stages that each contain an LDO and DCDC regulator. The first regulator, REG0, is fed by the VCCH pin and can accept a source voltage of 2.5 V to 5.5 V. The output of REG0 is connected to the VCC pin and the input of the second regulator stage REG1. REG1 supplies power to the module core and can accept an input source voltage of 1.7V to 3.6V. Depending on how the VCC and VCCH pins are connected, the module will operate in one of two modes:
Normal/Low Voltage (LV) or High Voltage (HV). The voltage present on the VCC pin is always the GPIO high logic level voltage, regardless of power mode. To enter LV Mode, the same source voltage is applied to both the VCC and VCCH pins causing REG0 to automatically shut down leaving only the REG1 stage active. To enter HV, the source voltage is only applied to VCCH causing the VCC pin to become an output source supplied by REG0. Mode Normal (LV) High Voltage (HV) Pin 24 22 24 22 Name VCC VCCH VCC VCCH Connection 1.7V to 3.6V source in Same source as VCC 1.8V to 3.3V supply out 2.5V to 5.5V source in Table 7: Power mode pin connections Important: In both LV and HV modes, the GPIO logic level voltage is determined by the VCC pin. In HV mode, all external devices that are connected to the BMD-380s GPIO must either be powered by the module (from VCC) or use level translation. REG0 can supply a maximum current of 25mA for the module and external circuits in System On Mode and 1 mA in System Off Mode. External circuits powered from VCC in HV mode should be limited to no more than 5 mA to ensure stability at all radio transmit power levels. 3.3.1 USB power The USB interface on the BMD-380 can be used when the module is in either Normal (LV) or High Voltage (HV) mode. The BMD-380 USB PHY is powered by a dedicated, internal LDO regulator that is fed by the VBUS pin (66). This means that applying power to only the VBUS pin will not power the rest of the module. In order for the USB PHY to operate, VBUS must be externally powered.

Great care must be taken when integrating Lithium-Ion batteries into a design. Protection circuits suitable for the type of battery used and the application must always be implemented. 3.4 General purpose I/O The general purpose I/O is organized as two ports enabling access and control of 44 available GPIO pins. The first port allows access of P0.00 to P0.31, similar to the one port available on the BMD-350. The second port allows access to P1.00 to P1.15 (excluding P1.01, P1.04, P1.05, P1.07). Each GPIO can be accessed individually with the following user configurable features:

In order to utilize P0.18 as a hardware reset, the UICR registers PSELRESET[0] and PSELRESET[1] must be set alike, to the value of 0x7FFFFFD2. When P0.18 is programmed as RESET, the internal pull-up is automatically enabled. Nordic Semiconductor example applications and development kits program P0.18 as RESET_N. 3.6 Debug and programming The BMD-380 series supports the two pin Serial Wire Debug (SWD) interface and offers flexible and powerful mechanism for non-intrusive debugging of program code. Breakpoints, single stepping, and instruction trace capture of code execution flow are part of this support. The BMD-380 also supports ETM and ITM trace. The trace data from the ETM and the ITM is sent to an external debugger via a 4-bit wide parallel trace port. In addition to parallel trace, the TPIU supports serial trace via the Serial Wire Output (SWO) trace protocol. 3.7 Clocks The BMD-380 requires two clocks, a high frequency clock and a low frequency clock. The high frequency clock is provided on-module by a high-accuracy 32 MHz crystal as required by the nRF528340 for radio operation. The low frequency clock can be provided internally by an RC oscillator or synthesized from the fast clock, or externally by a 32.768 kHz crystal. An external crystal provides the lowest power consumption and greatest accuracy. Using the internal RC oscillator with calibration provides acceptable performance for Bluetooth low energy applications at a reduced cost and slight increase in power consumption.

UBX-19039467 - R06 Electrical specifications Page 17 of 36 BMD-380 - Data sheet 4 Firmware 4.1 Factory image 4.2 SoftDevices Projects for the BMD-380 should utilize the Nordic Semiconductor SDK and the nRF52840 tools for new development. This will allow access to the very latest Bluetooth support from Nordic Semiconductor and provide an ongoing path as new features are released. The BMD-380 module is not loaded with a factory firmware image. The unique, public IEEE Bluetooth device address is printed on the module label and is also programmed into the UICR. Nordic Semiconductor protocol stacks for Bluetooth and ANT are known as SoftDevices. SoftDevices are pre-compiled, pre-linked binary files. SoftDevices can be programmed in nRF52 series SoCs and are downloadable from the Nordic Semiconductor website. The BMD-380 with the nRF52840 SoC supports the S140 (Bluetooth low energy Peripheral) and S340 (ANT & Bluetooth low energy) SoftDevices. 4.2.1 S140 The SoftDevice S140 is a feature complete Bluetooth 5 qualified protocol stack for the nRF52840 SoC. It supports up to 20 concurrent links in all roles. It supports Bluetooth 5 features: 2 Mbps, Long Range, Advertising Extensions and channel selection algorithm #2(CSA #2). The number of connections and bandwidth per connection are configurable, offering memory and performance optimization. It is a complete stack with GAP, GATT, ATT, SM, L2CAP, and Link Layer. Both GATT Server and Client are supported. The broad feature set also includes Privacy 1.2, LE Data Length Extension (DLE), configurable ATT MTU, L2CAP connection-oriented channels and LE Secure Connections. SoftDevice S140 is available for download here. 4.2.2 S340 SoftDevice S340 is a combined Bluetooth 5 and ANT protocol stack for the nRF52840 SoC, supporting concurrent operation of the two. It is a Bluetooth 5 qualified protocol stack that offers up to 20 concurrent links in all roles.

#2 (CSA #2). The number of connections and bandwidth per connection is configurable, offering memory and performance optimization. It is a complete Bluetooth LE stack with GAP, GATT, ATT, SM, L2CAP, and Link Layer. Both GATT Server and Client are supported. The broad feature set also includes Privacy 1.2, LE Data Length Extension (DLE), configurable ATT MTU, L2CAP connection-oriented channels and LE Secure Connections. It supports all ANT features and offers a variety of network topologies, including peer-to-peer, star and tree. Up to 15 individual channels are available, with broadcast, acknowledged, or burst transfer communication. SoftDevice S340 is available for download here. UBX-19039467 - R06 Firmware Page 18 of 36 BMD-380 - Data sheet 4.3 IEEE 802.15.4 (Thread and Zigbee) IEEE 802.15.4 based protocols, such as Thread and Zigbee, on the BMD-380 are not implemented using a SoftDevice. Nordic Semiconductor provides an IEEE 802.15.4 compliant MAC stack which does not require a SoftDevice to be loaded to operate. Nordic Semiconductor also provides pre-compiled Thread and Zigbee stacks. See the Nordic Semiconductor SDK for more information on developing applications that utilize IEEE 802.15.4. Both allow for concurrent operation with BLE SoftDevices. 4.4 Bluetooth device address The BMD-380 module is preprogrammed from the factory with a unique public Bluetooth device
(MAC) address stored in the CUSTOMER[0] and CUSTOMER[1] registers of the User Information Configuration Registers (UICR). The Bluetooth device address consists of the IEEE Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) combined with the six hexadecimal digits that are printed on a 2D barcode and in human-readable text on the module label, as described in section 5.3. The Bluetooth device address is stored in little endian format. The most significant bytes of the CUSTOMER[1] register are 0xFF to complete the 32-bit register.

The area under and extending out from the antenna portion of the module should be kept clear of copper and other metal. The module should be placed at the edge of the PCB with the antenna edge facing out. Reducing the ground plane from that shown in Figure 11 will reduce the effective radiated power. Align the module keep-out with edge of host PCB copper pour (top of 2.90 mm dimension below). For best performance, center the module on the longest edge of the host PCB. If a different size board is used, place the sides of the module at least 10 mm from the corresponding PCB board edge. Figure 11: BMD-380 recommended RF layout and ground plane 6.2 Mechanical enclosure Care should be taken when designing and placing the BMD-380 module into an enclosure. Metal should be kept clear from the antenna area, both above and below. Any metal around the module can negatively impact RF performance. The module is designed and tuned for the antenna and RF components to be in free air. Any potting, epoxy fill, plastic over-molding, or conformal coating can negatively impact RF performance and must be evaluated by the customer.

BMD380 to the outside of the host product and in the user manual. 4 5 Figure 1: Module marking for BMD-380 Reference Description U-BLOX imprinted on silkscreen PCB revision Product name (Model) 3+5 Product type number Table 1: Module and label marking for BMD-380 Data Matrix with unique serial number of 19 alphanumeric symbols. The first 3 symbols represent module type number unique to each module variant, the next 12 symbols represent the unique hexadecimal Bluetooth device address of the module AABBCCDDEEFF, and the last 4 symbols represent the hardware and firmware version encoded HHFF. To be able to fit the FCC/IC certification numbers on the label the font size has to be smaller than 4 points. Using such small font size makes the certification number too small to be readable. Therefore in accordance with CFR 47 2.925 (f) the FCC IDs is not printed on the label but instead placed in the user manual and placed on the device packaging (e.g. Dry-Pac bag). BMD-380 Batch label for Dry-Pac and Box:
