Customer MUST externally fit a 10uF (0603 body size) to ground. Ensure capacitor value reduction due to DC bias, AC bias, temperature is minimized so the Effective Specification for this 10uF capacitor is 3uF to 12uF over all conditions (DCbias=5.5V, ACbias=0.01V and temperature range -40°C to +105°C).

·          Option 2 Normal Voltage Mode – Connect external supply voltage (within range 1.8V) to both VDDH and VDD pin. If using USB interface then the BL54H20 VBUS pin must be connected to external supply within the range 4.4V to 5.5V.

When using the BL54H20 VBUS pin, customer MUST externally fit a 10uF (0603 body size) to ground. Ensure capacitor value reduction due to DC bias, AC bias, temperature is minimized so the Effective Specification for this 10uF capacitor is 3uF to 12uF over all conditions (DCbias=5.5V, ACbias=0.01V and temperature range -40°C to +105°C).

Note 4 VDDH/VDD (either High voltage mode or Normal voltage mode) must be powered before VDDIO_Px.

Clocks

HFXO – 32MHz crystal oscillator and nRF54H20 internal load capacitor TBDpF mandatory setting

The BL54H20 module contains the 32 MHz crystal, but the load capacitors to create 32MHz crystal oscillator circuit are inside the nRF54H20 chipset. Customer MUST set the internal nRF54H20 capacitors to TBDpF (for proper operation of the 32 MHz crystal circuit).
The 32 MHz crystal inside the BL54H20 module is a high accuracy crystal (±15 ppm at room temperature) that helps with radio operation and reducing power consumption in the active modes.

LFCLK – Low Frequency clock source

There are four possibilities (see figure 5) for the low frequency clock (LFCLK) and the options are:
LFRC (32.768kHz RC oscillator): The Internal 32.768 kHz RC oscillator (LFRC) is fully embedded in nRF54H20 (and does not require additional external components) with an accuracy ±250 ppm (after calibration of LFRC at least every eight seconds using the HFXO as a reference oscillator).
LFXO (32.768kHz crystal oscillator): For higher LFCLK accuracy (greater than ±250ppm accuracy is required), the low-frequency crystal oscillator (LFXO) must be used. To use LFXO, a 32.768kHz crystal must be connected between the XL1 and XL2 pins and the load capacitance between each crustal terminal and ground. Optionally internal (to nRF54H20) capacitor of maximum TBDpF in TBDpF steps are provided on pins XL1 and XL2.
Low frequency (32.768 kHz) external source: The 32.768 kHz oscillator (LFXO) is designed to work with external sources. Following external sources are supported:
LFSYNTH (32.768kHz Synthesised clock) from HFCLK (LFSYNTH): The LFCLK can be synthesised from the HFCLK source. LFSYNTH depends on the HFCLK to run. The accuracy of the LFCLK clock with LFSYNTH as a source assumes the accuracy of the HFCLK. If high accuracy is required, the HFCLK must generated from the HFXO.

Using the LFSYNT clock removes the requirement for an external 32.768kHz crystal but the increases the average power consumption as the HFCLK will turned on in the system.

BL54H20 Power Supply Options

The BL54H20 module power supply internally contains the following two main supply regulator stages (Figure 4):

  • VDD_HV pin
  • VDD pin

The USB peripheral is powered separately (connected to the VBUS pin).

ezurio-BL54H20 -Series-Multi-Core-Bluetooth-LE-802.15.4-NFC -Module-fig- (4)

High Voltage mode (option1) or Normal Voltage mode (option2)

The BL54H20 power supply system enters one of two supply voltage modes, High voltage mode or Normal voltage mode, depending on how the external supply voltage is connected to these pins.

BL54H20 power supply options:

Option 1 High Voltage Mode – Connect external supply voltage (within range 1.9V-5.5V) to VDDH pin. Customer MUST externally fit a 10uF (0603 body size) to ground. Ensure capacitor value reduction due to DC bias, AC bias, temperature is minimized so the Effective Specification for this 10uF capacitor is 3uF to 12uF over all conditions (DCbias=5.5V, ACbias=0.01V and temperature range -40°C to +105°C).

OR

Option 2 Normal Voltage Mode – Connect external supply voltage (1.8V) to both VDDH and VDD pin.

For either option, If using USB interface then the BL54H20 VBUS pin must be connected to external supply within the range 4.4V to 5.5V. When using the BL54H20 VBUS pin, customer MUST externally fit a 10uF (0603 body size) to ground. Ensure capacitor value reduction due to DC bias, AC bias, temperature is minimized so the Effective Specification for this 10uF capacitor is 3uF to 12uF over all conditions (DCbias=5.5V, ACbias=0.01V and temperature range -40°C to +105°C).ezurio-BL54H20 -Series-Multi-Core-Bluetooth-LE-802.15.4-NFC -Module-fig- (1)

VBUS pin and 10uF Mandatory Capacitor

To use the BL54H20 USB peripheral:

  1. Connect the BL54H20 VBUS pin to the external supply within the range 4.4V to 5.5V. When using the BL54H20 VBUS pin, you MUST externally fit a 10uF (0603 body size) to ground. Ensure capacitor value reduction due to DC bias, AC bias, temperature is minimized (the Effective Specification for this 10uF capacitor is 3uF to 12uF over all conditions DCbias=5.5V, ACbias=0.01V and temperature range -40°C to +105°C).
  2. When using the BL54H20 USB peripheral, the VBUS pin can be supplied from same source as VDD_HV (within the operating voltage range of the VBUS pin and VDD_HV pin).
  3. An optional series 2.2Ohms resistor on the USB supply (VBUS) can be fitted for improved immunity to transient over-voltage VBUS connection. If not using USB peripheral, the VBUS pin can be left unconnected.

Programmability

BL54H20 Default Firmware

The BL54H20 module is shipped from Ezurio manufacturing facilities with no firmware programmed.

BL54H20 Firmware Options

Firmware for use with the BL54H20 can be divided into the following types.

  • Bootloader – This is the application that resides on the Application core used for perform firmware updates on the Application, Radio, FLPR and PPR cores.
    The MCU Boot or Trusted Firmware M Bootloaders are recommended to be used as the basis for the BL54H20 Bootloader functionality.
  • Application – This is the main application code that resides on the Application core. It interfaces with the Radio core and PPR/FLPR cores and provides supplementary functionality to that of the time critical activities being performed on the Radio, PPR and FLPR cores.
  • Radio Stack – This is the protocol stack(s) that reside on the Radio Core. These control the radio and perform time critical radio operations, the results of which are provided to the Application core for high level processing.
  • Software-Defined Peripheral – These are the applications running on the FLPR and PPR RISC-V cores intended to offload activities from the Application core.

Mandatory SW requirements related to hardware

32MHz crystal internal load capacitor setting of TBD pF

MANDATORY. BL54H20 module contains the 32 MHz crystal but the load capacitors to create 32 MHz crystal oscillator circuit are inside the nRF54H20 chipset. Customer MUST set the internal nRF54H20 capacitors to TBD pF (for proper operation of the 32 MHz crystal circuit in the BL54H20 module).

Hardware Integration Suggestions

Circuit

The BL54H20 is easy to integrate, requiring no external components on your board apart from those which you require for development and in your end application. The following are suggestions for your design for the best performance and functionality.

Checklist (for Schematic):

  • BL54H20 power supply options:
    Option1 High Voltage Mode – Main voltage input (using BL54H20 VDD_HV pin) the external supply voltage (within range 1.9V-5.5V) is ONLY connected to the VDD_HV pin.
    Option 2 Normal Voltage Mode – Connect external supply voltage (within range 1.8V) to both VDD_HV and VDD pin.
    • BL54H20 GPIO ports power:
    VDDIO_P1, VDDIO_P2, VDDIO_P6, VDDIO_7 GPIO power supply pins: Connect external supply (within range 1.62V to 1.98V range) to power BL54H20 GPIO these GPIO ports P1, P2, P6, P7 ports power pins
    VDDIO_P9 GPIO power supply pins: Connect external supply (within range 1.62V to 3.6V range) to power BL54H20 GPIO 3V port power pin VDDIO_P9. External power source should be within the operating range, rise time and noise/ripple specification of the BL54H20. Add decoupling capacitors for filtering the external source. Power-on reset circuitry within BL54H20 series module incorporates brown-out detector, thus simplifying your power supply design. Upon application of power, the internal power-on reset ensures that the module starts correctly.
  • BL54H20 USB peripheral: To use the BL54H20 USB peripheral:
  1. Connect the BL54H20 VBUS pin to the external supply within the range 4.4V to 5.5V. When using the BL54H20 VBUS pin, you MUST externally fit a 10uF to ground. Ensure capacitor value reduction due to DC bias, AC bias, temperature is minimized so the Effective Specification for this 10uF capacitor is 3uF to 12uF over all conditions (DCbias=5.5V, ACbias=0.01V and temperature range -40°C to +105°C).
  2. Connect the external supply to VDD_HV pin to operate the rest of BL54H20 module.
  3. When using the BL54H20 USB peripheral, the VBUS pin can be supplied from same source as VDD_HV (within the operating voltage range of the VBUS pin and VDD_HV pin).
  4. An optional series 2.2Ohms resistor on the USB supply (VBUS) can be fitted for improved immunity to transient over-voltage VBUS connection.

If not using USB peripheral, the VBUS pin can be left unconnected.

  • AIN (ADC) and GPIO pin IO voltage levels BL54H20 GPIO voltage levels are at VDD. Ensure input voltage levels into GPIO pins are at VDD also (if VDD source is a battery whose voltage drops). Ensure ADC pin maximum input voltage for damage is not violated.
  • AIN (ADC) impedance and external voltage divider setup If you need to measure with ADC a voltage higher than 3.6V, you can connect a high impedance voltage divider to lower the voltage to the ADC input pin.
  • SWD This is REQUIRED for loading firmware. MUST wire out the SWD two wire interface on host design. Five lines should be wired out, namely SWDIO, SWDCLK, nRESET, GND and VDD.
  • UART and flow control (CTS, RTS) Required if customer requires UART.
  • TWI (I2C) It is essential to remember that pull-up resistors on both SCL and SDA lines are required, the value as per I2C standard. nRF54H20 can provide 13K Ohms typical pull up values internally. For other values, fit external pull-up resistor on both SCL and SDA as per I2C specification to set speed. The I2C specification allows a line capacitance of 400pF.
  • EXMIF, QSPI, High Speed SPI (32Mbps), High speed TWI (I2C, 1Mbps), QSPI and Trace EXMIF, QSPI, High-Speed SPI (32Mbps), TWI 1Mbps and Trace come on dedicated GPIO pins only. Other lower speed SPI and TWI can come out on any GPIO pins.
    For all high-speed signal, the printed circuit board (PCB) layout must ensure that connections are made using short PCB traces.
  • GPIO pins If GPIO is selected as an input, ensure the input is not floating (which can cause current consumption to drive with time in low power modes (such as System ON Idle), by selecting the internal pull up or pull down.
  • NFC antenna connector

To make use of the Ezurio flexi-PCB NFC antenna (part # 0600-00061), fit connector:

  • Description – FFC/FPC Connector, Right Angle, SMD/90d, Dual Contact,1.2 mm Mated Height
  • Manufacturer – Molex
  • Manufacturers Part number – 512810594
  • Add tuning capacitors of 300 pF on NFC1 pin to GND and 300 pF on NFC2 pins to GND if the PCB track length is similar as development board.
  • nRESET pin (active low) Hardware reset. Wire out to push button or drive by host. By default module is out of reset when power applied to VDD pins (13K pull-up inside nRF54H20).
  • Optional External 32.768kHz crystal
    If the optional external 32.768kHz crystal is needed, then use a crystal that meets specification and add load capacitors (either inside nRF54H20 or discrete capacitors outside nRF55) whose values should be tuned to meet all specification for frequency and oscillation margin.

PCB Layout on Host PCB – General

Checklist (for PCB):

  • MUST locate BL54H20 module close to the edge of PCB (mandatory for the 453-00197 for on-board chip antenna to radiate properly).
  • Use solid GND plane on the inner layer (for best EMC and RF performance).
  • All module GND pins MUST be connected to host PCB GND.
  • Place GND vias close to module GND pads as possible.
  • Unused PCB area on surface layer can flooded with copper but place GND vias regularly to connect the copper flood to the inner GND plane. If GND flood copper is on the bottom of the module, then connect it with GND vias to the inner GND plane.
  • Route traces to avoid noise being picked up on VDD, VDD_HV, VBUS supply and AIN (analogue), GPIO (digital) traces and high-speed traces.
  • Ensure no exposed copper is on the underside of the module (refer to land pattern of BL54H20 development board).

PCB Layout on Host PCB for the 453-0019x

Antenna Keep-out on Host PCB

The 453-00197 has an integrated chip antenna (Ignion NN02-101) and its performance is sensitive to host PCB. It is critical to locate the 453-00197 on the edge of the host PCB (or corner) to allow the antenna to radiate properly. Refer to guidelines in section PCB land pattern and antenna keep-out area for the 453-00197. Some of those guidelines repeated below.

  • Ensure there is no copper in the antenna keep-out area on any layers of the host PCB. Keep all mounting hardware and metal clear of the area to allow proper antenna radiation.
  • For best antenna performance, place the 453-00197 module on the edge of the host PCB, preferably in the edge center.
  • The BL54H20 development board (453-00197-K1) has the 453-00197 module on the edge of the board (not in the corner). The antenna keep-out area is defined by the BL54H20 development board which was used for module development and antenna performance evaluation is shown in Figure 8, where the antenna keep-out area is 5mm wide, 5mm long; with PCB dielectric (no copper) height 1.6mm sitting under the 453-00197 chip antenna. There is an extra copper cutout of 3.631mm x 1.046mm under 453-00197 chip antenna RF matching circuit.
  • The 453-00197 chip antenna is tuned when the 453-00197 is sitting on the development board (host PCB) with size of 141.6mm x 63.5mm x 1.6mm.
  • A different host PCB thickness dielectric will have small effect on antenna.
  • The antenna-keep-out defined in the 7.2 Host PCB Land Pattern and Antenna Keep-out for the 453-00197 section.
  • Host PCB land pattern and antenna keep-out for the BL54H20 applies when the 453-00197 is placed in the edge of the host PCB preferably in the edge center. Figure 8 shows an example.

ezurio-BL54H20 -Series-Multi-Core-Bluetooth-LE-802.15.4-NFC -Module-fig- (5)

Antenna Keep-out Notes:
Note 1 The BL54H20 module is placed on the edge, preferably edge centre of the host PCB.
Note 2 Copper cut-away on all layers in the Antenna Keep-out area under the 453-00197 on host PCB.

Antenna Keep-out and Proximity to Metal or Plastic

Checklist (for metal /plastic enclosure):

  • Minimum safe distance for metals without seriously compromising the antenna (tuning) is 40 mm top/bottom and 30 mm left or right.
  • Metal close to the 453-00197 chip antenna (bottom, top, left, right, any direction) will have degradation on the antenna performance. The amount of that degradation is entirely system dependent, meaning you will need to perform some testing with your host application.
  • Any metal closer than 20 mm will begin to significantly degrade performance (S11, gain, radiation efficiency).
  • It is best that you test the range with a mock-up (or actual prototype) of the product to assess effects of enclosure height (and materials, whether metal or plastic) and host PCB ground (GND plane size).

External Antenna Integration with BL54H20 MHF4 variant (453-00198)

Please refer to the regulatory sections for FCC, ISED, CE, MIC, UKCA and RCM details of use of BL54H20 with external antennas in each regulatory region. The BL54LH20 family has been designed to operate with the below external antennas (with a maximum gain of 2.32 dBi). The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. See Table 4. External antennas improve radiation efficiency.
