2.0 APPLICATION INFORMATION
2.1 Reference Schematics
Figure 2-1 through Figure 2-8 illustrate the BM70/71
module reference schematics for the various Stock
Keeping Units (SKUs). The GPIOs are configurable,
and the connection depends on the user’s application
circuit.
It is recommended to use an external Reset IC in all
applications. An example of using this circuit with the
MCP111-195 is illustrated in Figure 2-1, Figure 2-3,
Figure 2-5, and Figure 2-7. This Reset IC prevents the
Flash data corruption, when VBAT drops below 1.9V
(this includes brown-out, power-down, and power-up
conditions).
The RF antenna impedance matching circuit in
Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-5 require users to implement
by the selected antenna specification.
For battery-powered applications, it is recommended to
use the following external circuits as illustrated in
Figure 2-2, Figure 2-4, Figure 2-6, and Figure 2-8. The
first circuit (left side) ensures that the LED indicator is
bright enough in applications with VBAT > 3.0V. The
second circuit (right side) provides protection from bat-
tery voltage reverse connection.
If a fixed voltage source is applied to VBAT (e.g. 3.3V),
the soft start output is necessary to prevent the inrush
voltage over 3.6V to damage the Flash.

2.3 Host MCU Interface
2.3.1 HOST MCU INTERFACE OVER
UART
Figure 2-10 and Figure 2-11 illustrate the interfacing
between the BM70/71 and host MCU using UART.
UART uses Host Control Interface (HCI) to share the
communication among the Host MCU and BM70/71
module. The interface also illustrates the power
scheme using a 3.3V Low Drop Out (LDO) regulator
that supply 3.3V to the BM70/71 (BAT_IN) and MCU
VDD. This power scheme ensures that the BM70/71
module and MCU I/O voltages are compatible.
FIGURE 2-10: BM70 MODULE TO MCU INTERFACE
Note 1: Ensure that VBAT(=I/O Voltage) and MCU VDD voltages are compatible.
2: Control and indication ports are configurable.

2.3.2 UART READY AFTER EXTERNAL
RESET
In MCU applications, the time between Reset and the
BM70/71 module UART port ready for Test mode and
Application mode, after an external Reset (RST_N)
must be notified. Figure 2-12 illustrates the timing
diagram of the BM70/71 module UART port ready for
Test mode and Application mode after Reset.

2.3.3 UART READY AFTER POWER-ON
RESET
Figure 2-13 illustrates the timing diagram of the BM70
module UART port ready for Test mode and Applica-
tion mode after Power-on Reset (POR).
In Application mode, when the BM70/71 module is
ready to communicate with the host MCU after reset,
the BM70/71 module may have internal status indi-
cated by the status pins, or by a status report UART
command. This status pin or status report UART
command is sent to inform the MCU that the BM70/71
module is ready for communication.

2.4 Typical Hosted Configuration
Figure 2-14 illustrates the typical hosted configuration
for the BM71 module. It also illustrates an application
using a coin cell battery at VBAT input. For the BM71
module, a 10 μF capacitor (X5R/X7R) is applied to the
BAT_IN pin. Only on the BM71 module, the BK_IN pin
of the module must be connected to the BAT_IN pin.
FIGURE 2-14: BM71 MODULE TYPICAL HOSTED CONFIGURATION
Note 1: Hardware functions can include ADC and PWM. Refer to BM70/71 Bluetooth® Low Energy Module
User’s Guide” (DS50002542) for a full description of all possible configurable behavior and hardware.

2.5 Power-Drop Protection
To prevent the BM70/71 module from disruptions,
when the voltage drops to less than 1.9V, an “Open
Drain Reset chip with a delay time of 10 ms that trig-
gers Reset at 1.8V output voltage is recommended.
Figure 2-15 illustrates the Reset circuit block diagram.

4.2 Antenna Placement
For a Bluetooth wireless product, the antenna
placement affects the whole system performance. The
antenna requires free space to radiate the RF signals
and it cannot be surrounded by the ground plane.
Figure 4-3 illustrates a typical example of the good and
poor antenna placement of the BM70BLES1FC2
module on the main application board with the ground
plane.

4.4 Host PCB Mounting Suggestion
4.4.1 BM70BLES1FC2 HOST PCB
MOUNTING
Figure 4-5 illustrates the host PCB mounting sugges-
tions for the BM70BLES1FC2 module, showing the
minimum ground plane area to the left and right of the
module for best antenna performance.
The area under the antenna must not contain any top,
inner or bottom copper layer, while designing the host
PCB. A low-impedance ground plane ensures the best
radio performance (best range, low noise). The ground
plane can be extended beyond the minimum recom-
mended as required for the host PCB EMC noise
reduction. For best range performance, keep all
external metal away from the ceramic chip antenna by
a minimum of 30 mm.

4.4.2 BM70BLE01FC2 HOST PCB
MOUNTING
Figure 4-6 illustrates the mounting suggestions for the
BM70BLE01FC2 module and it also shows a connec-
tion to UFL connector. A low-impedance ground plane
will ensure the best radio performance (best range, low
noise).
The pin 30 (BT_RF) is connected to an external
antenna connector, a PCB trace antenna, or a compo-
nent (ceramic chip) antenna through a host PCB
50 Ohm micro-strip trace. The micro-strip trace can be
extended to include passive parts for antenna attenua-
tion padding, impedance matching, or to provide test
points. It is recommended that the micro-strip trace be
as short as possible for minimum loss and best imped-
ance matching. If the micro-strip trace is longer, it must
be a 50 Ohm controlled impedance.

5.1 Current Consumption Details
5.1.1 Tx/Rx CURRENT CONSUMPTION
DETAILS
Figure 5-1 illustrates the Tx/Rx peak current
consumption of 12 mA during an advertising event.
However, the average current consumption is only
around 230 μA while advertising at an interval of
approximately 100 ms, see Figure 5-2. This is due to
the “Reduced Current Consumption” Low Power mode
being enabled (configuration parameter -
UART_RX_IND). Reducing the current draw to
approximately 60 μA, while not actively transmitting the
advertisings packets, refer to the BM70/71 Blue tooth®
Low Energy Module User’s Guide” (DS50002542) for
more details.
The overall average current consumption is measured
with a 3.3V VBAT input, and is affected by the way the
IS1870/71 IC on the BM70/71 module has been config-
ured to operate. A low average current value can be
achieved by choosing the minimum settings for the
advertising interval and connection interval, which
meet the data throughput requirements of the intended
application. The lower or less frequent the interval time
periods, the lower the overall average current to be
drawn.

Table 5-3 provides the average current consumption
measurements for the BM70/71 module in Application
mode.
Note 1: These measurements are done at an operating temperature of +25°C at 3.3V and are characterized across
a sample of BM70/71 modules.
2: These measurements are taken with version 1.06 firmware, loaded into the module with “Reduced Current
Consumption” Low Power mode enabled. For more details on Low Power modes and current consumption
configuration, refer to “BM70/71 Bluetooth® Low Energy Module User's Guide” (DS50002542).
3: The advertising packet data payload is approximately 15 bytes in length.
4: The amount of data being transmitted between two peer devices can affect the average current measured.
The average current measurements are done with only the necessary Bluetooth packets being exchanged
to keep the connection active at the stated interval.

7.0 SOLDERING
RECOMMENDATIONS
The BM70/71 module is assembled using a standard
lead-free, reflow profile, IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. The
BM70/71 module can be soldered to the host PCB by
using the standard lead or lead-free solder reflow
profiles.
To avoid any damage to the BM70/71 module, follow
these recommendations:
Refer to the “AN233 Solder Reflow Recommen-
dation” (DS00233) document for the soldering
reflow recommendations

A.2 Europe
The BM70/71 module is an Radio Equipment Directive
(RED) assessed radio module that is CE marked and
has been manufactured and tested with the intention of
being integrated into a final product.
The BM70/71 module has been tested to RED
2004/53/EC Essential Requirements for Health and
Safety (Article (3.1(a)), Electromagnetic Compatibility
(EMC) (Article 3.1(b)), and Radio (Article 3.2), which is
summarized in the following European Compliance
Testing table.
The ETSI provides guidance on modular devices in the
Guide to the applic ation of ha rmonised standards cov-
ering Article 3.1(b) and Article 3.2 of the Directive
2014/53/EU RED to multi-radio and combined radio
and non-radio equipment document available at
http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_eg/203300_203399/20
3367/01.01.01_60/eg_203367v010101p.pdf.
A.2.1 LABELING AND USER
INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS
The label on the final product which contains the
BM70/71 module must follow CE marking require-
ments. The RED Compliance Association Technical
Guidance Note 01 provides guidance on final product
CE marking.
This device complies with Industry Canada’s
license-exempt RSS standard(s). 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.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR
d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils
radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est
autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes:
(1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout
brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouil-
lage est susceptible d'en compromettre le
fonctionnement.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio
transmitter may only operate using an antenna of
a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for
the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the
antenna type and its gain should be so chosen
that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for suc-
cessful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie
Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonction-
ner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain max-
imal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par
Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les ris-
ques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention
des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type
d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance
isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne
dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établisse-
ment d'une communication satisfaisante.
Note: To maintain conformance to the testing
listed in Ta b l e A - 1 /Table A-2, the module
shall be installed in accordance with the
installation instructions in this data sheet
and shall not be modified.
When integrating a radio module into a
completed product, the integrator
becomes the manufacturer of the final
product and is therefore responsible for
demonstrating compliance of the final
product with the essential requirements
against the RED.

the radio product in a host non-radio product in equiva-
lent assessment conditions (i.e. host equivalent to the
one used for the assessment of the radio product) and
according to the installation instructions for the radio
product, then no additional assessment of the com-
bined equipment against article 3.2 of the RED is
required.
