**BlueNRG-M2** 

## **Description** 

The BlueNRG-M2 is a Bluetooth® low energy system-on-chip application processor certified module, compliant with BT specifications v5.0 and BQE qualified. The BlueNRG-M2 module supports multiple roles simultaneously and can act at the same time as Bluetooth master and slave device. The BlueNRG-M2 is based on the BlueNRG-2 system-on-chip and entire Bluetooth low energy stack and protocols are embedded into module. The BlueNRG-M2 module provides a complete RF platform in a tiny form factor. Radio, embedded antenna and high frequency oscillators are integrated to offer a certified solution to optimize the time-to-market of the final applications. The BlueNRG-M2 can be powered directly with a pair of AAA batteries or any power source from 1.7 to 3.6 V.

**BlueNRG-M2 General description** 

## **1 General description** 

The BlueNRG-M2 is a Bluetooth low energy application processor modules compliant with Bluetooth® v5.0. 

The BlueNRG-M2 module has been designed around the ST BlueNRG-2 SoC where its Cortex-M0 core can execute both Bluetooth protocols and customer application. Optimized memory architecture includes 256 kB of Flash memory and 24 kB of ultra-low-leakage RAM (with full data retention). A complete power-optimized Bluetooth stack library provides: 

- Master, slave, multiple role support 

- GAP: central, peripheral, observer or broadcaster roles 

- Simultaneous advertising and scanning 

- Capability of being slave of up to two masters simultaneously 

- ATT/GATT: client and server 

- SM: privacy, authentication and authorization 

- L2CAP 

- Link Layer: AES-128 encryption and decryption 

In the BLUENRG-M2SA module both 32 MHz and 32 kHz crystal oscillators are available. It has been designed to leverage the BlueNRG-2 integrated DC-DC step down converter in order to achieve the best power consumption in active mode. It also embeds a high efficiency chip antenna. It can be configured to support both application processor (host-less) and network processor (hosted) modes. 

Being based on the BlueNRG-2 SoC, the BlueNRG-M2 module leverages all tools and documentation of its ecosystem: development kit, application notes, user manuals, design notes & Tips. A wide set of sample programs are also available in C source code. 

The BlueNRG-M2 module has a wide set of peripherals available for customer applications (1 x UART interface, 1 x SPI interface, 1 x I[2] C interface, 14 GPIO, 2 x multifunction timer, 10-bit ADC, watchdog & RTC, DMA controller, PDM stream processor). 

The BlueNRG-M2 module enables wireless connectivity into electronic devices, not requiring any RF experience or expertise for integration into the final product. The BlueNRG-M2 module provides a complete RF application platform in a tiny form factor (11.5 x 13.5 x 2.0 mm) and being a certified solution optimizes the time to market of the final applications. 

The BlueNRG-M2 module allows applications to meet the tight advisable peak current requirements imposed with the use of standard coin cell batteries. Optimized results are obtained when the embedded high-efficiency DC-DC step-down converter is used (BLUENRG-M2SA). Instead, for the BLUENRG-M2SP the best performance in terms of power consumption is achieved using a 1.8 V DC power supply. The BlueNRG-M2 can be powered directly with a standard 3 V coin cell battery as with a pair of AAA batteries or any power source from 1.7 to 3.6 V.

**BlueNRG-M2 Hardware design** 

## **6 Hardware design** 

_Note:_ 

- _All unused pins should be left floating; do not ground_ 

- _All GND pins must be well grounded_ 

- _The area around the module should be free of any ground planes, power planes, trace routings, or metal for 6 mm from the module antenna position, in all directions._

**BlueNRG-M2 Traceability** 

**9 Traceability** 

Each module is univocally identified by serial number stored in a 2D data matrix laser marked on the top side (shield) of the module itself. 

Each module bulk is identified by a bulk ID. 

Bulk ID and module 2D data matrix are linked by a reciprocal traceability link. The module 2D data matrix traces the lot number of any raw material used according to following rules: 

**Table 14. Traceability information** 

|**Letter**|**Meaning**|
|---|---|
|HA|Reserved|
|YWW|Year and week number|
|E|Reserved|
|LL|Lot sequence number|
|XX|Lot sub-sequence number|
|0000|Serial number|
