Hardware Design
Amp’ed RF modules support UART, USB, SPI, and GPIO hardware interfaces. Note that the usage of these interfaces is dependant upon the firmware that is loaded into the module, and is beyond the scope of this document. Notes All unused pins should be left floating; do not ground. All GND pins must be well grounded. The area around the module should be free of any ground planes, power planes, trace routings, or metal for 8 mm from the antenna in all directions. Traces should not be routed underneath the module. Module Reflow Installation The BT-21 is a surface mount Bluetooth module supplied on a 24 pin, 6-layer PCB. The final assembly recommended reflow profiles are: For non Pb-free applications, Sn63Pb37 solder is recommended. Maximum peak temperature of 208° - 210°C (below 220°C). Maximum rise and fall slope after liquidous of < 2°C/second. Maximum rise and fall slope after liquidous of < 2°C/second. Maximum time at liquidous of 50 – 90 seconds. For RoHS/Pb-free applications, Sn96.5/Ag3.0/Cu0.5 solder is recommended. Maximum peak temperature of 230° - 240°C (below 250°C). Maximum rise and fall slope after liquidous of < 2°C/second. Maximum rise and fall slope after liquidous of < 3°C/second. Maximum time at liquidous of 40 – 80 seconds.

GPIO Interface All GPIOs are capable of sinking and sourcing 4mA of I/O current. GPIO [0] to GPIO [7] are internally pulled down with 100KΩ (nominal) resistors GPIO [8] to GPIO [15] are internally pulled up with 100KΩ (nominal) resistors. UART Interface The UART is compatible with the 16550 industry standard. Four signals are provided with the UART interface. The TXD and RXD pins are used for data while the CTS and RTS pins are used for flow control.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Modifications or changes to this equipment not expressly approved by Amp’ed RF may void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. Modular Approval FCC ID: WDTBTMOD2 In accordance with FCC Part 15, the BT-21 is listed above as a Modular Transmitter device.
FCC Label Instructions
The outside of final products that contain a BT-21 device must display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: WDTBTMOD2 or “Contains FCC ID: WDTBTMOD2. Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used.
