Android connectivity Supports Bluetooth low energy connections with Android devices (Android 4.3 & higher) iOS connectivity Supports Bluetooth low energy connections with iOS devices Table 3: NINA-B1 main supported features UBX-15019243 - R05 Early Production Information Functional description Page 8 of 35 NINA-B1 series - Data Sheet 2 Interfaces 2.1 Power management 2.1.1 Module supply input (VCC) The NINA-B1 series uses an integrated DC/DC converter to transform the supply voltage presented at the VCC pin into a stable system voltage. Due to this, the NINA-B1 modules are compatible for use in battery powered designs. 2.1.2 Digital I/O interfaces reference voltage (VCC_IO) All modules in the u-blox NINA series provide an additional voltage supply input for setting the I/O voltage level. On the NINA-B1 series modules, the I/O voltage level is the same as the supply voltage and VCC_IO is internally connected to the supply input. Therefore only a single supply voltage is needed for NINA-B1, which makes it ideal for battery powered designs. This may not be the case for modules in the NINA series that will be released in the future. A design that should be pin compatible with other NINA-series modules should keep the VCC and VCC_IO supply rails separate. 2.2 RF antenna interfaces 2.2.1 2.4 GHz Bluetooth low energy (ANT) The two NINA-B1 model versions have their own 2.4 GHz antenna solutions respectively:
The NINA-B111 modules provide an antenna pin (ANT) with a nominal characteristic impedance of 50
. This pin can be connected to an on-board antenna or antenna connector using a controlled impedance trace. See the NINA-B1 series System Integration Manual [1] for more information. The NINA-B112 modules use an integrated antenna solution; no additional components are required. The ANT pin is internally disconnected on these models. 2.2.2 Near Field Communication (NFC) The NINA-B1 series modules include a Near Field Communication interface, capable of operating as a 13.56 MHz NFC tag at a bit rate of 106 kbps. As an NFC tag, data can be read from or written to the NINA-B1 modules using an NFC reader; however the NINA-B1 modules are not capable of reading other tags or initiating NFC communications. Two pins are available for connecting to an external NFC antenna: NFC1 and NFC2. See the NINA-B1 series System Integration Manual [1] for more information and NFC antenna design considerations. 2.3 System functions The NINA-B1 series modules are power efficient devices capable of operating in different power saving modes and configurations. Different sections of the module can be powered off when not needed and complex wake up events can be generated from different external and internal inputs. The radio part of the module operates independently from the CPU. The two main power saving modes are:
Standby mode Sleep mode Depending on the application, the module should spend most of its time in sleep mode to conserve battery life. 2.3.1 Module power-on NINA-B1 modules can be switched on in one of the following ways and this will cause the module to reboot:
Rising edge on the VCC pin to a valid supply voltage UBX-15019243 - R05 Early Production Information Interfaces Page 9 of 35 NINA-B1 series - Data Sheet Issuing a reset of the module A wake up event from sleep mode to active mode can be issued by:
Changing the state of any digital I/O pin, may be enabled /disabled for each pin. If waking up from standby mode, an event can also be issued by:
The on-board Real Time Counter (RTC) A programmable digital or analog sensor event. For example, rising voltage level on an analog comparator pin 2.3.2 Module power-off There is no dedicated pin to power off the NINA-B1 modules. You can configure any GPIO pin to enter or exit the sleep mode (see section 2.3.4), which essentially powers down the module. An under-voltage (brown-out) shutdown occurs on NINA-B1 modules when the VCC supply drops below the operating range minimum limit. If this occurs, it is not possible to store the current parameter settings in the modules non-volatile memory. An over-temperature and under-temperature shutdown can be enabled on NINA-B1 modules, and is initiated if the temperature measured within the module is outside operating conditions. The temperature is measured by an integrated temperature sensor in the radio chip. For more details see the NINA-B1 series System Integration Manual [1]. 2.3.3 Standby mode Standby mode is one of the power saving modes in NINA-B1 modules that essentially powers down the module but keeps the system RAM intact and allows for a few low power digital interfaces (including SPI) and analog functions to run continuously. It also allows for more complex, autonomous power-up events including periodic RTC events and radio events. The following events can be used to bring the module out of the standby mode:
External wake-up events Internal wake-up events from RTC, radio, NFC and so on Analog or digital sensor event (programmable voltage level or edge detection) During standby mode, the module is clocked at 32 kHz, which is generated by an internal 32 kHz crystal oscillator. 2.3.4 Sleep mode Sleep mode is the deepest power saving mode of NINA-B1 modules. During sleep mode, all functionality is stopped to ensure minimum power consumption. The module needs an external event in order to wake up from sleep mode. The following events can be used to wake up the module out of the sleep mode:
External event on a digital pin External event on a low power comparator pin Detection of NFC field When using the NINA-B11x firmware, the module can be manually switched on or off with proper storage of current settings using the UART DSR pin. The module can be programmed to latch the digital values present at its GPIO pins during sleep. The module will keep the values latched, and a change of state on any of these pins will trigger a wake up to active mode. The module will always reboot after waking up from the sleep mode; however different sections of the RAM can be configured to remain intact during and after going into the sleep mode. 2.3.5 Module reset NINA-B1 modules can be reset in one of the following ways:
UBX-15019243 - R05 Early Production Information Interfaces Page 10 of 35 NINA-B1 series - Data Sheet Low level on the RESET_N input pin, normally high with internal pull-up. This causes an external or hardware reset of the module. The current parameter settings are not saved in the modules non-volatile memory and a proper network detach is not performed. Using the AT+CPWROFF command. This causes an internal or software reset of the module. The current parameter settings are saved in the modules non-volatile memory and a proper network detach is performed. 2.3.6 Real Time Counter (RTC) A key system feature available on the module is the Real Time Counter. This counter can generate multiple interrupts and events to the CPU and radio as well as internal and external hardware blocks. These events can be precisely timed ranging from microseconds up to hours, and allows for periodic BLE advertising events etc., without involving the main CPU. The RTC can be operated in power-on and standby modes. 2.4 Serial interfaces NINA-B1 modules provide the following serial communication interfaces:
1x UART interface: 4-wire unbalanced asynchronous serial interface used for AT commands interface, data communication and firmware upgrades using the FOAT feature. 3x SPI interfaces: Up to three serial peripheral interfaces can be used simultaneously. 2x I2C interfaces: Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) interface for communication with digital sensors. All digital interface pins on the module are shared between the digital and analog interfaces and GPIOs. Any function can be assigned to any pin that is not already occupied. 2.4.1 Asynchronous serial interface (UART) The UART interface supports hardware flow control and baud-rates up to 1 Mbps. Other characteristics of the UART interface are listed below:
Data lines (RXD as input, TXD as output) and hardware flow control lines (CTS as input, RTS as output) are provided. Hardware flow control or no flow control (default) is supported. Power saving indication available on the hardware flow control output (CTS line): The line is driven to the OFF state when the module is not ready to accept data signals. Programmable baud-rate generator allows most industry standard rates, as well as non-standard rates up to 1 Mbps. Frame format configuration:
o 8 data bits o Even or no-parity bit o 1 stop bit Default frame configuration is 8N1, meaning eight (8) data bits, no (N) parity bit, and one (1) stop bit. 2.4.2 Serial peripheral interface (SPI) NINA-B1 supports up to 3 Serial Peripheral Interfaces that can operate in both master and slave mode with a maximum serial clock frequency of 8 MHz in both master and slave modes. The SPI interfaces use 4 signals:
SCLK, MOSI, MISO and CS. When using the SPI interface in master mode, it is possible to use GPIOs as additional Chip Select (CS) signals to allow addressing of multiple slaves. 2.4.3 I2C interface The Inter-Integrated Circuit interfaces can be used to transfer or receive data on a 2-wire bus network. The NINA-B1 modules can operate as both master and slave on the I2C bus using both standard (100 kbps) and fast
(400 kbps) transmission speeds. The interface uses the SCL signal to clock instructions and data on the SDL signal. UBX-15019243 - R05 Early Production Information Interfaces Page 11 of 35 NINA-B1 series - Data Sheet 2.5 GPIO The NINA-B1 modules are versatile concerning pin-out. If un-configured, there will be 19 GPIO pins in total and no analog or digital interfaces. All digital interfaces or functions must then be allocated to a GPIO pin before use. 7 out of the 19 GPIO pins are analog enabled thus they can have an analog function allocated to them. In addition to the serial interfaces, Table 4 shows the number of digital and analog functions that can be assigned to a GPIO pin. This list is not final, and functions may be added or removed without notice.

RESET_N is used to reset the system, see section 2.3.5. SWITCH_1 is used to enter the bootloader or to restore the UART serial settings to their default values. SWITCH_2 can be used to open a BLE connection to a peripheral device. If both SWITCH_1 and SWITCH_2 are driven low during start up, the system will restore all settings to their factory defaults. 2.7.3 UART signals In addition to the normal RXD, TXD, CTS, and RTS signals, the NINA-B11x firmware adds the DSR and DTR pins to the UART interface. Note that they are not used as originally intended, but to control the state of the NINA module. Depending on the current configuration, the DSR can be used to:
Enter command mode Disconnect and/or toggle connectable status Enable/disable the rest of the UART interface Enter/wake up from sleep mode UBX-15019243 - R05 Early Production Information Interfaces Page 13 of 35 NINA-B1 series - Data Sheet 3 Pin definition 3.1 Pin assignment The pin-out described in Figure 2 below is an example pin-out that shows the module in an unconfigured state.

Analog functions are limited to analog capable pins. Signals marked red in Figure 2 are not freely assignable but locked to a specific pin. GPIO pins 16, 17, 18 and 20 are connected to pins located close to the radio part of the RF chip. It is recommended to avoid using these pins for high speed digital interfaces or sinking/sourcing large currents through them. Doing so may affect RF performance. Do not apply an NFC field to the NFC pins when they are configured as GPIOs as it can cause permanent damage to the module. When driving different logic levels on these pins in GPIO mode, a small current leakage will occur. Ensure that they are set to the same logic level before entering into any power saving modes. See section 4.2.6 for more information.

Identifier marking for OEM-Bluetooth low energy module NINA-B1 The module is a Surface Mount Device soldered onto the end product and is not accessible to the end-user. It is not possible for the end-user to replace or remove the module. The modules are shipped to the end product manufacturer as components on tape-and-reel in a sealed dry bag. The sealed dry bag is enclosed in a protective cardboard box. NINA-B1 NINA-B111 and NINA-B112 XPYNINAB1 8595A-NINAB1 Depending on the type of module, the outline size is either 10.6 x 10.0 mm (NINA-B111) or 14.0 x 10.0 mm
(NINA-B112). The size of the identifier label located on the shield box is only 7.5 x 7.5 mm, thus the size of the module/label makes it impossible to print the FCC and IC IDs on the identifier label in a print size of 4 points or larger. Instead the FCC and IC IDs are printed on the cardboard box and on the sealed dry bag, as well as the modules user manual. Figure-1 NINA-B111 with identifier label.

American Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, Suite C110, McLean, VA 22101, USA The FCC ID does not appear on the module, due to the size of the module. The host is always labelled with the FCC ID of the model, regardless of whether the module is visible or not; because the FCC ID is not on the module. As part of this application, two other documents are uploaded to the labelling exhibits folder:
1. A document to explain the labelling of the module and to describe the size of the module. 2. A mock-diagram to show the module how it would look with a 4pt FCC ID on it. The FCC ID does not fit on one line in this example and the the picture demonstrates that the FCC ID does not fit onto the label.

Parts of this document were submitted as a cover letter to our KDB enquiry (Tracking Number 509290) on the use and applicability of test reports from NINA-B111 on NINA-B112. The NINA-B1 series are small stand-alone Bluetooth low-energy (LE) modules with NFC passive tag functionality. They are offered in two variants; NINA-B111 (10 x 10.6 mm) with the BLE RF-port available at an antenna-pin, and the extended NINA-B112 (10 x 14 mm) having the RF-port connected to an internal PIFA antenna. The modules can only operate in 1 Mbps BLE mode. The included BLE stack from Nordic Semiconductors supports concurrent Central and Peripheral roles with up to three connections as central and one connection as peripheral. Both module variants require an external NFC antenna in order to support NFC; the antenna is connected to two NFC antenna pins underneath the module. Only passive tag functionality is available. The NINA-B1 modules operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and at 13.56 MHz for NFC. Both product variants use identical firmware on the radio transceiver. Product variants, technical differences Both product variants, NINA-B111 and NINA-B112, have identical RF and digital parts. PCB stack-up and Layout under the RF shield cover is identical on both variants. The only difference between the two variants is the added 3.4 mm of PCB on NINA-B112 that carries the internal PIFA antenna. locate, communicate, accelerate Table 1: NINA-B1 module versions Model Description Module photo NINA-B111 NINA-B1 with a 10.0 x 10.6 mm PCB, RF-

We, u-blox AG, hereby requests for a limited modular transmitter approval of our OEM-Bluetooth low energy module with passive NFC tag functionality, NINA-B1. Please observe that integration of the module is to be made by the grantee himself thus limited to own use only. The equipment is described as follows:
Brand name: u-blox Product family: NINA-B1 HVIN: NINA-B111 and NINA-B112 FCE ID: XPYNINA-B1 In 47 C.F.R. 15.212 there are eight numbered requirements a single modular transmitter must meet to obtain a modular transmitter approval. Our OEM-Bluetooth low energy module with passive NFC tag functionality NINA-
B1 complies with all 8 (eight) of these requirements. 1. The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding NINA-B1 has its RF-parts covered by a shield box that is soldered on to the module ground plane. 2. The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs NINA-B1 does not have modulation inputs. The electrical connection consists of power supply and digital and/or analog interfaces. The interface signals are internally buffered by the module SoC (System on Chip) and cannot affect the modulation. Detailed instruction on how to connect these interface signals are given in the products User Guide. 3. The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation NINA-B1 has its own voltage regulators. In case the supply voltage changes, the internal voltages will be unchanged. 4. The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of Section 15.203, 15.204(b) and 15.204(c) NINA-B1 is either equipped with on-board antenna or a unique antenna pin. The antenna pin shall be connected to an antenna via a unique U.FL coaxial connector. The antenna pad design must follow the NINA-B111 Antenna Connector Reference Design to comply with the NINA-B1 modular approval. For further details about approved antennas please refer to the antenna data sheet included in the filing. locate, communicate, accelerate 5. The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration NINA-B1 was tested on a reference design in a stand-alone configuration. 6. The modular transmitter must be labelled with its own FCC ID number The module outline sizes are 14.0 x 10.0 mm and 10.6 x 10.0 mm and the size of the identifier label located on the shield box is only 7.5 x 7.5 mm. The model name (HVIN) is printed on the identifier label. The size of the module/label makes it impossible to print the FCC ID in a clearly visible (4 pt or larger) way on the identifier label. Instead the FCC and IC IDs are printed on the packaging (cardboard box and sealed dry bag). The module is a Surface Mount Device soldered onto a carrier board and is not accessible to the end-user. It is not possible for the end-user to replace or remove the module. The modules are shipped to the OEM integrator as components on tape-and-reel in a sealed dry bag. The sealed dry bag is enclosed in a protective cardboard box. Instructions will be provided to the OEM integrator how the end product must be labeled. 7. The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter and the manufacturer must provide adequate instructions along with the module to explain any such requirements. NINA-B1 is compliant with all applicable FCC rules. Detailed instructions are given in the products User Guide. 8. The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements in its final configuration. NINA-B1 complies with the RF exposure limits when integrated into host devices categorized as mobile and/or fixed. See separate document for RF exposure calculations.
