Operational description of OEM-Bluetooth low energy module
with passive NFC tag functionality ANNA-B112
The ANNA-B112 series modules are small sized radio SiP module intended for OEM integration
enabling a mobile or fixed end-product to utilise Bluetooth low energy technology in the 2.4 GHz ISM
band. It is intended to function as a short-range radio link transmitting and receiving information
between other portable, mobile or fixed electronic devices and the end product.
It is possible to connect an external NFC antenna to the ANNA-B112 module, to enable a passive
NFC Type-2 tag functionality operating at 13.56 MHz. The modules are not able to operate at the
NFC frequency by themselves (passive), they require an active NFC device to apply a strong enough
electromagnetic field in order to activate the NFC block inside the ANNA-B112 modules.
The following two different antenna options are available for the ANNA-B112 module:
       ANNA-B112 with an antenna pin to be used with an external antenna connector. See Table
        2 for a list of approved antennas. OEM integrators are only allowed to use these antennas
        and must follow
       ANNA-B112 with an internal PIFA antenna. Two different reference designs for the internal
        antenna is included:
            o A reference design when the module is mounted in a corner of the host board.
            o A reference design when the module is mounted on an edge of the host board (not in
                a corner).
Both module versions have two NFC antenna pins available to connect to an external NFC antenna.

The module operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM Band, at 2402 – 2480 MHz with 40 channels using 2 MHz
separation and a channel bit rate of 1 Mbit/s and 2 Mbit/s. ANNA-B112 fully conforms to the
Bluetooth 5.0 standard.
NFC operates at 13.56 MHz at a bit rate of 106 kbit/s.
