em microelectronic EMMO3 Bluetooth Module

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The EMMO3 is a tiny Bluetooth® 5.4 Low Energy (BLE) module based on the True-Ultra-Low-Power EM9305 System on-Chip.
The flexible architecture of the EMMO30 allows it to act as a Bluetooth® 5.4 Low Energy modem, or as a complete System-on- Module (SoM). Custom applications can execute on its efficient 32- bit ARC processor from flash with cache and DMA to optimize energy consumption. DSP and floating-point units can be exploited to implement advanced algorithms for audio and sensor fusion. Low power serial interfaces (SPI, I2C, I2S, and UART) can be used to exchange data with external sensors, memories, displays, and human-machine interfaces.
The software package includes a fully featured Bluetooth 5.4 link layer, Host Controller Interface (HCI), stack, profiles and services, and firmware-over-the-air (FOTA) updating capability. All Bluetooth 5.4 features are available on the EMMO30, including High Data Rate (HDR) and Long Range (LR) communication, Angle-of-Arrival & Angle of- Departure (AoA/AoD) for localization applications, Periodic Advertisement with Response (PAwR), as well as isochronous channels for audio applications.
The EMMO3 includes a sophisticated on-chip power management system supporting 1.5 V or 3 V batteries. The inductor less circuit for 1.5 V batteries helps further reduce the BOM in that mode. Retention of the 64 kB of RAM during sleep is controlled in 4 kB increments to reduce sleep current. A stable, low-power sleep oscillator (RC or crystal-based) minimizes power consumption while in a connected state or for RTC operation. Current consumption is minimized for all modes of the application by utilizing an efficient scheduler and memory manager.
The EMMO3 features a state-of-the-art 2.4GHz transceiver: a low power receiver with excellent sensitivity/selectivity, and a programmable transmitter.

ELECTRICAL SCHEMATIC

REGULATORY
EMMO3 is modular certified and complies with the following regulatory requirements:
REGULATORY INFORMATION CE
EM Microelectronic as the responsible party for regulatory compliance, declares under our sole responsibility that as delivered the described product is in conformity with the RED Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU, following the provisions of ERP Directive 2009/125/EC, EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, including the amendment 2015/863/EU on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, and carries the CE marking. Refer to emmicroelectronic.com for the signed declaration.
REGULATORY INFORMATION USA
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
- Part 15 – General emissions
- Part 15.247: 2011 – Operation within the band 2.4-2.4835GHz
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause harmful interference, and.
- this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
CLASS B DEVICE NOTICE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Note that final host products require Subpart B compliance testing with the modular transmitter installed.
Module integrator (host manufacturer) is recommended to use FCC KDB publication 996369 D04 Module Integration Guide”.
Co-location of this module with other transmitters that operate simultaneously are required to be evaluated using the FCC multi-transmitter procedures.
