Default<br>batterylow indication voltage level is 3.4V.| |RSSI Indication|Use this pin to indicate the quality of the link based on the RSSI level. If the<br>RSSI level is lower than the specified values, then the RSSI indication pin<br>goes low.| |Link Drop Control|Use this pin to force the module to drop the current BLE link with a peer<br>device. Pulling the Link Drop pin low forces a disconnect. The pin must be<br>pulled low for at least 10 ms.| |UART RX Indication|Use this pin to enable communication with the UART when the module is in<br>Low-Power mode. When_not_in Low-Power mode, the module runs on a<br>16 MHz clock. If Low-Power mode is enabled on the module by using<br>command,SO,1, the module runs on a 32 kHz clock, thus reducing power<br>consumption. However, in Low-Power mode, the host MCU_cannot_<br>communicate with the module via the UART since the UART is_not_<br>operational. If the user intends to provide data or commands via UART in<br>the Low-Power mode, then the UART_RX_IND pin must be pulled low and<br>the user needs to wait for at least five milliseconds before sending the data.<br>Pulling the UART_RX_IND pin low allows the module to operate the<br>16 MHz clock and to enable UART.| |Pairing Key|Use this pin to force the module to enter Standby mode.

Avoid the top copper layer near the test pin area. When designing the host PCB, the areas under the antenna must _not_ contain any top, inner or bottom copper layer. A low-impedance ground plane ensures best radio performance (best range and lowest 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 at least 31 mm away from the ceramic chip antenna. **FIGURE 5-3: RN4678 HOST PCB MOUNTING SUGGESTION** This area needs to have top metal copper that is connected to Ground for optimal functioning of the chip antenna. This purple hashed area must not have any top metal layer copper. It can have bottom copper layer. This area (purple with dots) needs to have both top and bottom copper layers connected to Ground for optimal operation of the antenna. DS50002519F-Page 22 2016-2021 Microchip Technology Inc. **RN4678** ## **6.0 REFLOW PROFILE** It is highly recommended that the RN678/RN4678U be assembled using a standard lead-free reflow profile, IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. The RN678/RN4678U can be soldered to the host PCB by using the standard leaded and lead-free solder reflow profile. To avoid damage to the module, follow these recommendations: - Follow solder reflow recommendations provided in Microchip Technology Application Note, _AN233 “Solder Reflow Recommendation”_ (DS00233). - Refer to the solder paste data sheet for specific reflow profile recommendations. - Do _not_ exceed the Peak Temperature (TP) of +250ºC. - Use no-clean flux solder paste. - Standard: IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 - Condition: Preheat: 150~200ºC for 60 ~ 120 seconds. - Average ramp-up rate (217ºC to peak): 3ºC/sec max. - Temperature maintained above 217ºC: 60 ~ 150 seconds. - Time within 5ºC of peak temperature: 30 ~ 40 seconds. - Peak temperature: 260ºC +5/-0. - Ramp-down rate (peak to 217ºC): 6ºC/sec. max. - Time 25ºC to peak temperature: 8 minutes max. - Cycle interval: 5 minutes. - Do _not_ wash as moisture can be trapped under the shield. - Use only one flow. If the PCB requires multiple flows, apply the module on the final flow. ## **FIGURE 6-1: REFLOW PROFILE** **==> picture [361 x 211] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Ramp-up Rate:<br>3ºC/sec max.<br>Peak: 260ºC +5/-0<br>(217ºC to Peak)<br>255ºC<br>Ramp-Down Rate:<br>6ºC/sec max.<br>(Peak to 217ºC)<br>217ºC<br>200ºC<br>150ºC<br>30 ~ 40 sec.<br>60 ~ 120 sec. 60 ~ 150 sec.<br>Time (sec)<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> DS50002519F-Page 23 2016-2021 Microchip Technology Inc. **RN4678** ## **7.0 MODULE PLACEMENT** For a Bluetooth wireless product, the antenna placement affects the performance of the whole system. The antenna requires free space to radiate the RF signal and it _cannot_ be surrounded by the ground plane. Microchip recommends that the areas underneath the antenna on the host PCB must _not_ contain copper on the top, inner or bottom layer. Figure 7-1 illustrates an example of good and poor antenna placement on a host PCB with ground plane. The ground plane can be extended beyond the minimum recommended, as required for the main PCB EMC noise reduction. For the best range performance, keep all external metal away from the ceramic chip antenna, that is, a minimum of 15 mm away. ## **FIGURE 7-1: MODULE PLACEMENT EXAMPLES** **TABLE 7-1: RECOMMENDED ANTENNA Description Manufacturer Part Number Manufacturer** ~~——————~~ ANT ANT3216A063R2400A, PIFA, 2.4 GHz, L3.2W1.6 ANT3216A063R2400A Yageo Corp.

Single modular transmitter approval is defined as a complete RF transmission subassembly, designed to be incorporated into another device, that must demonstrate compliance with FCC rules and policies independent of any host. A transmitter with a Modular Grant can be installed in different end-use products (referred to as a host, host product or host device) by the Grantee or other equipment manufacturer, then the host product may not require additional testing or equipment authorization for the transmitter function provided by that specific module or limited module device. The user must comply with all of the instructions provided by the Grantee, which indicate installation and/or operating conditions necessary for compliance. A host product itself is required to comply with all other applicable FCC equipment authorization regulations, requirements and equipment functions that are not associated with the transmitter module portion. For example, compliance must be demonstrated: to regulations for other transmitter components within a host product; to requirements for unintentional radiators (Part 15 Subpart B), such as digital devices, computer peripherals, radio receivers, etc.; and to additional authorization requirements for the non-transmitter functions on the transmitter module (i.e., Verification or Declaration of Conformity) as appropriate (e.g., Bluetooth and Wi-Fi[®] transmitter modules may also contain digital logic functions). ## 9.1.1 LABELING AND USER INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS The RN4678 module has been labeled with its own FCC ID number, and if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the finished product into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module.
