1 General
BlueNiceCom 4
Bluetooth-Modul with UART-interface and integrated Chip-antenna
• Bluetooth Class 2 module
• Bluetooth Specification 2.0 compatible
• Support of Bluetooth Audio
• Integrated profiles: SPP, GAP, SDAP
• Supported profiles: DUN, OBEX, HSP etc.
• UART interface
• Integrated chip antenna
AMBER wireless provides with the BlueNiceCom 4 a certified, qualified listed Bluetooth-module,
based on LMX9830 from National Semiconductor. This compact and inexpensive Bluetooth-
module is qualified for a serial data or audio transmission.
The module has an integrated chip-antenna and can be placed into a circuit like a SMD-part.
BlueNiceCom IV comes with an integrated firmware with the complete Bluetooth Stack
(Bluetooth 2.0).
A Point-to-Point connection and a Point-to-Multipoint (Piconet) connection are supported by the
firmware. Up to seven active links (Piconet) and one SCO-link (Audio) is possible.
The module can be integrated easily in a system. According to the application and the settings
the BlueNiceCom 4 can work as a stand-alone-slave-module e.g. as a virtual cable replacement
in combination with another commercial Bluetooth system.
A development environment AMB2300-EV is available.

2.2.3 UART configuration with OP3, OP4, OP5
The serial interface of the AMB2300 must be configured as follows:
Level note
0 = low open pin
1 = high VCC with 1KΩpull up
*exception OP3: VCC without pull up!
OP3, OP4 and OP5 are pulled down in AMB2300, therefore these pins for the low level are not
to be switched at GND. Here an example of circuit:
OP3* OP4 OP5 Function
0 0 0 Not supported
0 1 0 Not supported
1* 0 0 UART speed read from NVS (EEPROM)
1* 0 1 UART speed 9.6 kbps
1* 1 0 UART speed 115.2 kbps
1* 1 1 UART speed 921.6 kbps

2.2.4 UART interface RX_BT, TX_BT, RTS#_BT and CTS#_BT
The interface serves for communication with the BlueNiceCom4. The hardware handshake is
used (RTS/CTS). If this should not be supported by the host system, RTS#_BT and CTS#_BT
must be short circuit and/or CTS#_BT put on Low levels. This can lead however to overrun! We
recommended therefore urgently to use handshake.

2.3 Dimension
BlueNiceCom 4 has 1mm x 2mm soldering pads with a raster of 2mm to be solder direct on a
motherboard

AMB2300 manual V2.0 9/15 05.03.2008
3 Details for Layout
To achieve the maximum of range no metal (ground, strip line, components, etc..) has to be
near the antenna, as shown hatched in the following figure. The antenna should have a
distance of 8mm to any ground, strip line or component. Most suitable is to place the antenna at
the margin of the motherboard.
The BNC4 is not isolated, so even if there are normally no short circuit problems, because of
the solder resist, an isolation should be placed between BNC4 and motherboard in case of any
copper on the top side of the motherboard underneath the BNC4.
4 Soldering & Reflow
4.1 Description
•On demand there are taped– automatic assembly – and vacuum packed – reflow
solderable – components available.
•The temperature curve depends on the motherboard its character, like the number and
conditioning of parts, etc. Please ask your manufactor.
•Depending on the limit values of the components following limits are not allowed to excess
260°C max. 40s (LMX)
250°C max. 20s (Chip-antenna)
200°C max. 120s (Chip-antenna)

(PG7 fulfis these function now)
VDD_DIGI_PER_D OP5 (Input) must be configured
(UART configuration)
--- OP4 (Input) must be configured
(UART configuration)
6 Minimum connection to run the BNC4
In order to realize the simplest radio transmission are the following connections of the AMB2300
to be wired:
VCC, GND Power supply
RX, TX UART data
RTS, CTS UART handshake; if does not need: short RTS and CTS or contact CTS at GND
(without flow control it can come to overrun and lost data)
OP3 High (connect to VCC)
OP4, OP5 Configuration UART, see chapter 2.2.3 (open or 1KΩpull-up)
All other PIN´s doesn´t need to be connected.

8 External antenna
The AMB2300 can be operated also with an external antenna. In addition the red
marked condenser (100pF 0603) must, as are changed above shown in its position. The
lateral antenna connection is available then for a coaxial cable or a wire antenna.
These steps should accomplish attention, only persons with good HF knowledge,
since this kind of connection can involve high error potential!
By these measures the warranty and the permission expire.
