Application Notes

5.1 Baseboard Layout Considerations
The antenna needs to be surrounded by as large a headroom area as possible. The headroom refers to the open area within the projection area of the vertical plane of the antenna (the upper and lower ranges should be considered). Within the projection area of the antenna, whether patch or side insertion method, do not pave the ground (especially forboard mounted antennas), there can be no metal devices, to maintain the antenna’s headroom, in order to improve the antenna radiation efficiency. The RF part of the module should avoid being wrapped by the metal cavity as much as possible, and the distance between the RF part and the interference source should be more than 10mm (the bigger the better if the conditions allow). Common sources of interference include: batteries (including electrical connector), capacitors, inductors, pushbuttons, oscillators, power cables, screws or nuts containing metal, CPUs, LCDs, transformers, speakers, cameras, wiring of the product’s internal communication interface, power supply circuits, motors, and so on.
Baseboard Layout Requirements.
Module PCB antenna should be in the whole bottom PCB edge, PCB antenna to keep 10mm spacing around the antenna, antenna around the layers can not cloth copper, wire, layout components; if there are a variety of antennas, antennas and antennas should be as far away as possible between the distance, to avoid the same frequency interference and cross-modulation interference. The following figure around the antenna, including the upper and lower vertical range can not have metal devices, it is recommended to stick on the base plate, this part of the region hollow processing. The following figure in the gray area of the laying copper size is recommended in 4 * 4cm.Description of test points at the Module Bottom level:
RF performance of the test pads have a windowed area (that is, exposed copper), the base plate mapped to the location can not be placed over the hole or exposed copper, and should be covered with white oil to prevent short- circuit. It is recommended that the bottom of the board alignment or exposed copper to avoid the red box area in the following figure. 5.2 caveat

1. power supply
   It is recommended to use a DC regulated power supply to power the module, the power supply ripple is as small as possible, usually requires a ripple of less than 30mV, the ripple is too large will lead to poor sensitivity and other connection anomalies. At the same time, the Bluetooth transmitting signal will be coupled into the interference signal, resulting in RF indicators beyond the Bluetooth specification, which will cause serious failure to connect and communicate. Try to use LDO to provide power to the module, and at the same time, LDO should be far away from DC-DC power supply and inductance to prevent DC-DC radiation from polluting the power supply of LDO. The module needs to be grounded reliably, and please pay attention to the correct connection of the positive and negative poles of the power supply, such as reverse connection may lead to permanent damage to the module.
   A 10uF and 0.1uF decoupling capacitor is recommended for the SB16 module power pin (VBAT). The capacitor should be as close as possible to the VDD power supply pin. The power supply voltage range is 1.8~4.3V, and when using 3.3V power supply, we need to ensure that the power supply voltage is not lower than 1.8V. The VDD pin needs to meet the power supply capacity of 150mA peak current, and the power supply ripple is recommended to be less than 30mV, so as to avoid excessive ripple caused by the degradation of RF performance. The recommended circuits for power supply are as follows Note: D1 TVS static protection is used, it is recommended to place a TVS tube for static protection.

2. ESD Electrostatic discharge protection
   Users need to pay attention to the electrostatic requirements of the product during design, see Table 4-1, and add electrostatic protection measures to the design of the end product.

Production and Packaging Information

7.1 Production Welding
7.1.1 Production Guidelines
It is recommended that the stamp port encapsulated module be mounted using SMT machine and the mounting should be completed within 24 hours after unpacking, otherwise it should be re-vacuum-packed to avoid moisture leading to poor mounting.
If the package contains a humidity indication card, it is recommended to judge whether the module needs to be baked according to the humidity card indication, and the conditions during baking are as follows:
Baking temperature: 125℃±5℃;
The alarm temperature is set to 130°C;
After cooling <36℃ under natural conditions, it is ready for SMT placement;
If the unpacking time is more than 3 months, you need to pay special attention to whether the product is affected by moisture, because the PCB immersed gold process, more than 3 months may lead to oxidation of the pads, the patch may lead to false soldering, leakage of soldering and other problems.
In order to ensure that the reflow soldering pass rate, the first patch is recommended to take 10% of the products for visual inspection, AOI testing to ensure that the furnace temperature control, device adsorption method, placement of the rationality of the way;
Operators at each station must wear electrostatic gloves during the entire production process.
7.1.2 Module location requirements at the base plate
It is recommended that the base plate module location of the green oil thickness of less than 0.02mm, to avoid excessive thickness, padding module can not effectively contact with the solder paste affects the welding quality. Also need to consider the interface board module location within 2mm around the layout of other devices, in order to protect the maintenance of the module.
7.1.3 Stencil opening design
The thickness of the stencil on the base plate is selected in principle according to the type of packaging of the device on the board to be selected, need to focus on the following requirements:
Module pad locations can be locally thickened to 0.15~0.20mm to avoid void soldering.
7.1.4 Production Precautions

• During the production process, each operator must wear electrostatic gloves;
• Baking should not exceed the specified baking time;
• It is strictly prohibited to add explosive, flammable and corrosive substances during baking;
• During baking, modules should be placed in high temperature trays to maintain air circulation between modules;
• The door of the baking box needs to be closed during baking to ensure that the baking box is closed and to prevent the temperature from leaking out;
• Try not to open the door when the oven is running, if you have to open it, try to shorten the time you can open the door;
• After baking, wait until the module cools down naturally to below 36℃ before taking it out with electrostatic gloves to avoid burns;
• When operating, do not allow the bottom surface of the module to get wet or dirty;
