*) Refer to BLE Configuration Guide for detailed settings
**) SS is the slave select signal when BLE121LR is set as SPI slave. When set as SPI master, any available I/O can be used as chip select signal of
BLE121LR
NOTE: Pins configured as peripheral I/O signals do not have pull-up / -down capability

2.1 I/O Ports
2.1.1 I/O Configurations
Each I/O port can be configured as an input or output. When configured as input, each I/O port can also be
configured with internal pull-up, pull-down or tri-state. Pull-down or pull-up can only be configured to whole
port, not individual pins. Unused I/O pins should have defined level and not be floating. See the BLE
Configuration Guide for more information about the configuration.
During reset the I/O pins are configured as inputs with pull-ups.
Note: Pins configured as peripheral I/O signals do not have pull-up / -down capability

2.1.2 Reserved I/O’s
The high current driving pins P1_0 and P1_1 are reserved for the internal RF front end control. These pins are
not exposed in BLE121LR and they can’t be used for application purposes.
P1_7 is also used for the RF front end control but as an output it can be used to control the external DCDC for
lowering the peak current drawn from the battery. The function of P1_7 can’t be altered. If external DCD is not
used then P1_7 should be left not connected.



2.2 UART
UART baud rate can be configured up 2 Mbps. See the BLE Configuration Guide for more information.

5 Power-On Reset and Brownout Detector
BLE121LR includes a power-on reset (POR), providing correct initialization during device power on. It also
includes a brownout detector (BOD) operating on the regulated 1.8-V digital power supply only. The BOD
protects the memory contents during supply voltage variations which cause the regulated 1.8-V power to drop
below the minimum level required by digital logic, flash memory, and SRAM. When power is initially applied,
the POR and BOD hold the device in the reset state until the supply voltage rises above the power-on-reset
and brownout voltages.

6 Design Guidelines
6.1 General Design Guidelines
BLE121LR can be used directly with a coin cell battery. Due to relatively high internal resistance of a coin cell
battery it is recommended to place a 100uF capacitor in parallel with the battery. The internal resistance of a
coin cell battery is initially in the range of 10 ohms but the resistance increases rapidly as the capacity is used.
Basically the higher the value of the capacitor the higher is the effective capacity of the battery and thus the
longer the life time for the application. The minimum value for the capacitor depends on the end application
and the maximum transmit power used. The leakage current of a 100uF capacitor is in the range of 0.5 uA to
3 uA and generally ceramic capacitors have lower leakage current than tantalum or aluminum electrolytic
capacitors.
Optionally TI’s TPS62730 can be used to reduce the current consumption during TX/RX and data processing
stages. TPS62730 is an ultra-low power DC/DC converter with by-pass mode and will reduce the current
consumption during transmission nominally by ~20% when using 3V coin cell battery.

6.2 Layout Guide Lines
Use good layout practices to avoid excessive noise coupling to supply voltage traces or sensitive analog
signal traces. If using overlapping ground planes use stitching vias separated by max 3 mm to avoid emission
from the edges of the PCB. Connect all the GND pins directly to a solid GND plane and make sure that there
is a low impedance path for the return current following the signal and supply traces all the way from start to
the end.
A good practice is to dedicate one of the inner layers to a solid GND plane and one of the inner layers to
supply voltage planes and traces and route all the signals on top and bottom layers of the PCB. This

                                                                                                     Page 20 of 31


– Make sure that the bias trace does not cross separated GND regions (D
  AGND) so that the path for the return current is cut. If this is not possibl
  not separate GND regions but keep one solid GND plane.
– Keep the trace as short as possible
arrangement will make sure that any return current follows the forward current as close as possible and any
loops are minimized.

6.3 BLE121LR-A Layout Guide
For optimal performance of the antenna place the module at the edge of the PCB as shown in the Figure 19.
Do not place any metal (traces, components, battery etc.) within the clearance area of the antenna. Connect
all the GND pins directly to a solid GND plane. Place the GND vias as close to the GND pins as possible. Use
good layout practices to avoid any excessive noise coupling to signal lines or supply voltage lines. Do not
place plastic or any other dielectric material in touch with the antenna.

7 Soldering Recommendations
BLE121LR is compatible with industrial standard reflow profile for Pb-free solders. The reflow profile used is
dependent on the thermal mass of the entire populated PCB, heat transfer efficiency of the oven and
particular type of solder paste used. Consult the datasheet of particular solder paste for profile configurations.
Bluegiga Technologies will give following recommendations for soldering the module to ensure reliable solder
joint and operation of the module after soldering. Since the profile used is process and layout dependent, the
optimum profile should be studied case by case. Thus following recommendation should be taken as a
starting point guide.

   -   Refer to technical documentations of particular solder paste for profile configurations

   -   Avoid using more than one flow.

   -   Reliability of the solder joint and self-alignment of the component are dependent on the solder volume.
       Minimum of 150m stencil thickness is recommended.

   -   Aperture size of the stencil should be 1:1 with the pad size.

   -   A low residue, “no clean” solder paste should be used due to low mounted height of the component.

CPU and Memory
The 8051 CPU core is a single-cycle 8051-compatible core. It has three different memory access buses (SFR,
DATA, and CODE/XDATA), a debug interface, and an 18-input extended interrupt unit.
The memory arbiter is at the heart of the system, as it connects the CPU and DMA controller with the physical
memories and all peripherals through the SFR bus. The memory arbiter has four memory-access points,
access of which can map to one of three physical memories: an SRAM, flash memory, and XREG/SFR
registers. It is responsible for performing arbitration and sequencing between simultaneous memory accesses
to the same physical memory.
The SFR bus is a common bus that connects all hardware peripherals to the memory arbiter. The SFR bus
also provides access to the radio registers in the radio register bank, even though these are indeed mapped
into XDATA memory space.
The 8-KB SRAM maps to the DATA memory space and to parts of the XDATA memory spaces. The SRAM is
an ultralow-power SRAM that retains its contents even when the digital part is powered off (power modes 2
and 3).
The 256 KB flash block provides in-circuit programmable non-volatile program memory for the device, and
maps into the CODE and XDATA memory spaces.
Peripherals
Writing to the flash block is performed through a flash controller that allows page-wise erasure and 4-bytewise
programming.
A versatile five-channel DMA controller is available in the system, accesses memory using the XDATA
memory space, and thus has access to all physical memories. Each channel (trigger, priority, transfer mode,
                                                                                 Bluegiga Technologies Oy
                                                                                                                                                              Page 24 of 31


addressing mode, source and destination pointers, and transfer count) is configured with DMA descriptors that
can be located anywhere in memory. Many of the hardware peripherals (AES core, flash controller, USARTs,
timers, ADC interface, etc.) can be used with the DMA controller for efficient operation by performing data
transfers between a single SFR or XREG address and flash/SRAM.
Each CC2541 contains a unique 48-bit IEEE address that can be used as the public device address for a
Bluetooth device. Designers are free to use this address, or provide their own, as described in the Bluetooth
specification.
The interrupt controller services a total of 18 interrupt sources, divided into six interrupt groups, each of which
is associated with one of four interrupt priorities. I/O and sleep timer interrupt requests are serviced even if the
device is in a sleep mode (power modes 1 and 2) by bringing the CC2541 back to the active mode.
The debug interface implements a proprietary two-wire serial interface that is used for in-circuit debugging.
Through this debug interface, it is possible to erase or program the entire flash memory, control which
oscillators are enabled, stop and start execution of the user program, execute instructions on the 8051 core,
set code breakpoints, and single-step through instructions in the code. Using these techniques, it is possible
to perform in-circuit debugging and external flash programming elegantly.
The I/O controller is responsible for all general-purpose I/O pins. The CPU can configure whether peripheral
modules control certain pins or whether they are under software control, and if so, whether each pin is
configured as an input or output and if a pullup or pulldown resistor in the pad is connected. Each peripheral
that connects to the I/O pins can choose between two different I/O pin locations to ensure flexibility in various
applications.
The sleep timer is an ultra-low power timer that uses an external 32.768-kHz crystal oscillator. The sleep timer
runs continuously in all operating modes except power mode 3. Typical applications of this timer are as a real-
time counter or as a wake-up timer to exit power modes 1 or 2.
Timer 1 is a 16-bit timer with timer/counter/PWM functionality. It has a programmable prescaler, a 16-bit
period value, and five individually programmable counter/capture channels, each with a 16-bit compare value.
Each of the counter/capture channels can be used as a PWM output or to capture the timing of edges on input
signals. It can also be configured in IR generation mode, where it counts timer 3 periods and the output is
ANDed with the output of timer 3 to generate modulated consumer IR signals with minimal CPU interaction.
Timer 2 is a 40-bit timer used by the Bluetooth low energy stack. It has a 16-bit counter with a configurable
timer period and a 24-bit overflow counter that can be used to keep track of the number of periods that have
transpired. A 40-bit capture register is also used to record the exact time at which a start-of-frame delimiter is
received/transmitted or the exact time at which transmission ends. There are two 16-bit timer-compare
registers and two 24-bit overflow-compare registers that can be used to give exact timing for start of RX or TX
to the radio or general interrupts.
Timer 3 and timer 4 are 8-bit timers with timer/counter/PWM functionality. They have a programmable
prescaler, an 8-bit period value, and one programmable counter channel with an 8-bit compare value. Each of
the counter channels can be used as PWM output.
USART 0 and USART 1 are each configurable as either an SPI master/slave or a UART. They provide double
buffering on both RX and TX and hardware flow control and are thus well suited to high-throughput full-duplex
applications. Each USART has its own high-precision baud-rate generator, thus leaving the ordinary timers
free for other uses. When configured as SPI slaves, the USARTs sample the input signal using SCK directly
instead of using some oversampling scheme, and are thus well-suited for high data rates.
The AES encryption/decryption core allows the user to encrypt and decrypt data using the AES algorithm with
128-bit keys. The AES core also supports ECB, CBC, CFB, OFB, CTR, and CBC-MAC, as well as hardware
support for CCM.
The ADC supports 7 to 12 bits of resolution with a corresponding range of bandwidths from 30-kHz to 4-kHz,
respectively. DC and audio conversions with up to eight input channels (I/O controller pins) are possible. The
inputs can be selected as single-ended or differential. The reference voltage can be internal, AVDD, or a
single-ended or differential external signal. The ADC also has a temperature-sensor input channel. The ADC
can automate the process of periodic sampling or conversion over a sequence of channels.

operation. I C support is compliant with the NXP I2C specification version 2.1 and supports standard mode
(up to 100 kbps) and fast mode (up to 400 kbps). In addition, 7-bit device addressing modes are supported, as
well as master and slave modes..
The ultralow-power analog comparator enables applications to wake up from PM2 or PM3 based on an analog
signal. Both inputs are brought out to pins; the reference voltage must be provided externally. The comparator
output is connected to the I/O controller interrupt detector and can be treated by the MCU as a regular I/O pin
interrupt.
RF front end
RF front end includes balun, power amplifier, low noise amplifier, band pass filter, and a ceramic chip antenna
with matching network. Optimal matching combined with effective low pass filter provides extremely low in-
band spurious emissions and harmonics.
