## **4.4 Host PCB Mounting Suggestion** 

## 4.4.1 BM70BLES1FC2 HOST PCB MOUNTING 

Figure 4-5 illustrates the host PCB mounting suggestions for the BM70BLES1FC2 module, and it shows 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 recommended as required for the host PCB EMC noise reduction. For best range performance, keep all external metal away by minimum 30 mm from the ceramic chip antenna.

## **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 Bluetooth[®] 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 configured 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.

## **Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:** 

- Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet. 

- Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions. 

- There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property. 

- Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code. 

- Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.” 

Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
