SQG-BL620USUSB BLE Dongle - Single Mode

BL620-US USB BLE Dongle – Single Mode Central Mode BLE Module Featuring smart BASIC USB BLE Dongle - Single Mode Support Portal: http://ews-support.lairdtech.com USA: +1.800.492.2320 Europe: +44.1628.858.940 Asia: +852.2268.6567 [email protected] www.lairdtech.com/bluetooth The BL620-US single mode USB BLE dongle is derived from BL600 /BL620 and has the ability to add BLE Central Mode capabilities to any operating system supporting a USB interface and virtual COM port. The dongle provides the ability to load smartBASIC applications over the air (OTA)to a BL600 peripheral mode module. The BL600 Series modules from Laird have been enhanced with the addition of the BL620 part numbers. The BL620 uses the same module hardware as the BL600 but has a new firmware load supporting Central mode connectivity. The BL620 makes it easy to add single-mode Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), or Bluetooth Smart™, to small, portable, power-conscious devices, including those powered by AAA or coin cell batteries. The fully approved, programmable modules feature Laird’s innovative, event-driven smart BASIC programming language, which significantly simplifies BLE integration. Based on the award winning Nordic Semiconductor nRF51822 chipset, BL620 modules provide exceptionally low power consumption with outstanding wireless range, all within a compact footprint of 19 mm x 12.5 mm. The modules incorporate all the hardware and firmware required to support development of BLE Central mode applications, including:  Radio hardware  UART, SPI, I2C, ADC, and GPIO interfaces for connecting peripherals and sensors  A complete BLE software stack  Central role functionality with GATT Client  Custom Services to suit any application’s needs  Packaged USB Dongle incorporating BL620 What makes the modules unique is smartBASIC, an event-driven programming language that enables standalone operation of the module whereby sensors can be attached via any of the interfaces without the need for an external processor. Ultimately smartBASIC accelerates initial development, creation of prototypes, and mass production by providing you with your own BLE expert within the module. The BL620-US USB Dongle is packed with BL620 to take advantage of the BL620 module, providing the ability to add BLE Central Mode capabilities to any operating system supporting a USB interface and virtual COM port. The control and configuration is via a standard virtual COM port and smartBASIC. The dongle provides the ability to load smartBASIC applications over the air (OTA)to a BL600 peripheral mode module. In addition to carrying FCC modular, IC and CE approvals, BL620 –US USB dongle is fully qualified as a Bluetooth End Products, enabling designers to develop with the BL620 central mode firmware.

REQUIREMENTS The following equipment and utilities are required:  BL620-US Dongle  Windows PC/Mac  UwTerminal (Windows) The BL620-US dongle has a Segger J-Link chip on board so when you connect the dongle to your computer it will search for the relevant driver which can be obtained from http://www.segger.com/jlink-software.html . INSTALLATION (WINDOWS) 1. Connect the dongle to your PC 2. With the J-Link driver installed, wait until Windows finishes installing device driver software. 3. Check that the device is listed in the Device Manager. See Figure 1 . 4. Open UwTerminal and type “at” and return to check you can communicate with the dongle. Note: When using the BL620-US dongle, in UwTerminal the CTS pin will always be deasserted INSTALLATION (MAC) 1. Connect the dongle to your Mac 2. Open Terminal and type “ls /dev/cu.*” to get a list of the serial devices connected. Your dongle will be something similar to cu.usbmodem####. 3. Type “screen /dev/cu.usbmodem####” replacing “####” with what was returned by the previous command. You can now communicate with the dongle using AT commands. See Figure 2 .

Evaluation of mobile devices, as defined by the FCC, may also be performed with respect to SAR limits, but in such cases it is usually simpler and more cost-effective to evaluate compliance with respect to field strength or power density limits. For certain devices that are designed to be used in both mobile and portable configurations similar to those described in 47 CFR §2.1091(d)(4), such as certain desktop phones and wireless modem modules, compliance for mobile configurations is also satisfied when the same device is evaluated for SAR compliance in portable configurations. 1.1 SAR TEST EXCLUSION THRESHOLD FOR 100MHz to 6GHz and  50mm Frequency (MHz) 5 10 15 20 25 Separation distance (mm) 150 39 77 116 155 194 SAR Test Exclusion Threshold (mW) 300 27 55 82 110 137 450 22 45 67 89 112 835 16 33 49 66 82 900 16 32 47 63 79 1500 12 24 37 49 61 1900 11 22 33 44 54 2450 10 19 29 38 48 3600 8 16 24 32 40 5200 7 13 20 26 33 5400 6 13 19 26 32 5800 6 12 19 25 31 The 1-g and 10-g SAR test exclusion thresholds for 100 MHz to 6 GHz at test separation distances ≤ 50 mm are determined by [(max. power of channel, including tune-up tolerance, mW)/(min. test separation distance, mm)] · [√f(GHz)] ≤ 3.0 for 1-g SAR and ≤ 7.5 for 10-g extremity SAR, where •f(GHz) is the RF channel transmit frequency in GHz • Power and distance are rounded to the nearest mW and mm before calculation • The result is rounded to one decimal place for comparison The test exclusions are applicable only when the minimum test separation distance is ≤ 50 mm and for transmission frequencies between 100 MHz and 6 GHz. When the minimum test separation distance is < 5 mm, a distance of 5 mm is applied to determine SAR test exclusion.
