ATSAMB11-MR210CA/MR510CA
Ultra Low Power BLE 4.1 Module
DATASHEET
Description
The Atmel® ATSAMB11-MR210CA is an ultra-low power Bluetooth® SMART (BLE
4.1) module with Integrated MCU, Transceiver, Modem, MAC, PA, TR Switch, and
Power Management Unit (PMU). It is a standalone Cortex®-M0 applications
processor with embedded Flash memory and BLE connectivity.
The qualified Bluetooth Smart protocol stack is stored in dedicated ROM, the
firmware includes L2CAP service layer protocols, Security Manager, Attribute
protocol (ATT), Generic Attribute Profile (GATT), and the Generic Access Profile
(GAP). Additionally, application profiles such as Proximity, Thermometer, Heart Rate,
Blood Pressure, and many others are supported and included in the protocol stack.
The module contains all circuitry required including a ceramic high gain antenna,
26MHz crystal, and PMU circuitry. The customer simply needs to place the module
on the customer PCB design, provide power and a 32kHz Real Time Clock or crystal.
All References to ATSAMB11-MR210CA, refer to the ATSAMB11-MR510CA as well.

VBAT supply must be greater than or equal to VDDIO.
Restrictions for the Power States
When VDDIO is off (either disconnected or at ground potential), a voltage must not be applied to the device pins.
This is because each pin contains an ESD diode from the pin to the VDDIO supply. This diode will turn on when a
voltage higher than one diode-drop is supplied to the pin. This, in turn, will try to power up the part through the
VDDIO supply.
If a voltage must be applied to the signal pads while the chip is in a low power state, the VDDIO supply must be
on.
Similarly, to prevent the pin-to-ground diode from turning on, do not apply a voltage that is more than 0.3V below
ground to any pin.

5.5
RTC Pins
Module pins 25 and 27 (RTC_CLKP and RTC_CLKN, respectively) are used for a 32.768kHz crystal. To be
compliant with the BLE specifications for connection events, the frequency accuracy of this clock has to be within
±500ppm. Because of the high accuracy of the 32.768kHz crystal oscillator clock (±25ppm), the power
consumption can be minimized by leaving radio circuits in low power sleep mode for as long as possible until they
need to wake up for the next connection timed event.
The block diagram in Figure 5-2(a) shows how the internal low-frequency Crystal Oscillator (XO) is connected to
the external crystal.
Typically, the crystal should be chosen to have a load capacitance of 7pF to minimize the oscillator current. The
ATSAMB11-MR210CA device has switchable on chip capacitance that can be used to adjust the total load the
crystal sees to meet its load capacitance specification. Refer to the ATSAMB11-2100A datasheet for more
information.
Alternatively, if an external 32.768kHz clock is available, it can be used to drive the RTC_CLKP pin instead of
using a crystal. The XO has 5.625F internal capacitance on the RTC_CLKP pin. To bypass the crystal oscillator an
external signal capable of driving 5.625pF can be applied to the RTC_CLK_P terminal as shown in Figure 5-2(b).
This signal must be 1.2V maximum. RTC_CLK_N must be left unconnected when driving an external source into
RTC_CLK_P.
