3.2 Radio
The BGM13P features a radio transceiver supporting Bluetooth® low energy protocol. It features a memory buffer and a low-voltage
circuit that can withstand extremely high data rates.
3.2.1 Antenna Interface
The BGM13P has two antenna solution variants. One of them is a high-performance integrated chip antenna (BGM13PxxFxxxxA) and
the other is a U.FL connector to attach an external antenna to the module (BGM13PxxFxxxxE).

Efficiency -2 to -4 dB Antenna efficiency, gain and radiation pattern are highly depend-
ent on the application PCB layout and mechanical design. Refer
to 6. Layout Guidelines for PCB layout and antenna integration
guidelines for optimal performance.
Peak gain 1 dBi
3.2.2 RFSENSE
The RFSENSE block generates a system wakeup interrupt upon detection of wideband RF energy at the antenna interface, providing
true RF wakeup capabilities from low energy modes including EM2, EM3 and EM4.
RFSENSE triggers on a relatively strong RF signal and is available in the lowest energy modes, allowing exceptionally low energy con-
sumption. RFSENSE does not demodulate or otherwise qualify the received signal, but software may respond to the wakeup event by
enabling normal RF reception.
Various strategies for optimizing power consumption and system response time in presence of false alarms may be employed using
available timer peripherals.
3.2.3 Packet and State Trace
The BGM13P Frame Controller has a packet and state trace unit that provides valuable information during the development phase. It
features:
Non-intrusive trace of transmit data, receive data and state information
Data observability on a single-pin UART data output, or on a two-pin SPI data output
Configurable data output bitrate / baudrate
Multiplexed transmitted data, received data and state / meta information in a single serial data stream
3.2.4 Random Number Generator
The Frame Controller (FRC) implements a random number generator that uses entropy gathered from noise in the RF receive chain.
The data is suitable for use in cryptographic applications.
Output from the random number generator can be used either directly or as a seed or entropy source for software-based random num-
ber generator algorithms such as Fortuna.

3.3 Power
The BGM13P has an Energy Management Unit (EMU) and efficient integrated regulators to generate internal supply voltages. Only a
single external supply voltage is required, from which all internal voltages are created. An integrated DC-DC buck regulator is utilized to
further reduce the current consumption. Figure 3.2 Power Supply Configuration for +8 dBm Devices on page 9 and Figure 3.3 Power
Supply Configuration for +19 dBm Devices on page 9 show how the external and internal supplies of the module are connected for
different part numbers.

3.3.1 Energy Management Unit (EMU)
The Energy Management Unit manages transitions of energy modes in the device. Each energy mode defines which peripherals and
features are available and the amount of current the device consumes. The EMU can also be used to turn off the power to unused RAM
blocks, and it contains control registers for the dc-dc regulator and the Voltage Monitor (VMON). The VMON is used to monitor multiple
supply voltages. It has multiple channels which can be programmed individually by the user to determine if a sensed supply has fallen
below a chosen threshold.

System Overview
silabs.com | Building a more connected world. Rev. 1.2 | 9
3.3.2 DC-DC Converter
The DC-DC buck converter covers a wide range of load currents and provides up to 90% efficiency in energy modes EM0, EM1, EM2
and EM3. Patented RF noise mitigation allows operation of the DC-DC converter without degrading sensitivity of radio components.
Protection features include programmable current limiting, short-circuit protection, and dead-time protection. The DC-DC converter may
also enter bypass mode when the input voltage is too low for efficient operation. In bypass mode, the DC-DC input supply is internally
connected directly to its output through a low resistance switch. Bypass mode also supports in-rush current limiting to prevent input
supply voltage droops due to excessive output current transients.
3.3.3 Power Domains
The BGM13P has two peripheral power domains for operation in EM2 and EM3. If all of the peripherals in a peripheral power domain
are configured as unused, the power domain for that group will be powered off in the low-power mode, reducing the overall current
consumption of the device.

3.4 General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)
BGM13P has up to 25 General Purpose Input/Output pins. Each GPIO pin can be individually configured as either an output or input.
More advanced configurations including open-drain, open-source, and glitch-filtering can be configured for each individual GPIO pin.
The GPIO pins can be overridden by peripheral connections, like SPI communication. Each peripheral connection can be routed to sev-
eral GPIO pins on the device. The input value of a GPIO pin can be routed through the Peripheral Reflex System to other peripherals.
The GPIO subsystem supports asynchronous external pin interrupts.
3.5 Clocking
3.5.1 Clock Management Unit (CMU)
The Clock Management Unit controls oscillators and clocks in the BGM13P. Individual enabling and disabling of clocks to all peripher-
als is performed by the CMU. The CMU also controls enabling and configuration of the oscillators. A high degree of flexibility allows
software to optimize energy consumption in any specific application by minimizing power dissipation in unused peripherals and oscilla-
tors.

System Overview
silabs.com | Building a more connected world. Rev. 1.2 | 10
3.5.2 Internal Oscillators and Crystals
The BGM13P fully integrates several oscillator sources and two crystals.
The high-frequency crystal oscillator (HFXO) and integrated 38.4 MHz crystal provide a precise timing reference for the MCU and
radio.
The low-frequency crystal oscillator (LFXO) and integrated 32.768 kHz crystal provide an accurate timing reference for low energy
modes and the real-time-clock circuits.
An integrated high frequency RC oscillator (HFRCO) is available for the MCU system, when crystal accuracy is not required. The
HFRCO employs fast startup at minimal energy consumption combined with a wide frequency range.
An integrated auxilliary high frequency RC oscillator (AUXHFRCO) is available for timing the general-purpose ADC and the Serial
Wire Viewer port with a wide frequency range.
An integrated low frequency 32.768 kHz RC oscillator (LFRCO) for low power operation where high accuracy is not required.
An integrated ultra-low frequency 1 kHz RC oscillator (ULFRCO) is available to provide a timing reference at the lowest energy con-
sumption in low energy modes.
3.6 Counters/Timers and PWM
3.6.1 Timer/Counter (TIMER)
TIMER peripherals keep track of timing, count events, generate PWM outputs and trigger timed actions in other peripherals through the
PRS system. The core of each TIMER is a 16-bit counter with up to 4 compare/capture channels. Each channel is configurable in one
of three modes. In capture mode, the counter state is stored in a buffer at a selected input event. In compare mode, the channel output
reflects the comparison of the counter to a programmed threshold value. In PWM mode, the TIMER supports generation of pulse-width
modulation (PWM) outputs of arbitrary waveforms defined by the sequence of values written to the compare registers, with optional
dead-time insertion available in timer unit TIMER_0 only.
3.6.2 Wide Timer/Counter (WTIMER)
WTIMER peripherals function just as TIMER peripherals, but are 32 bits wide. They keep track of timing, count events, generate PWM
outputs and trigger timed actions in other peripherals through the PRS system. The core of each WTIMER is a 32-bit counter with up to
4 compare/capture channels. Each channel is configurable in one of three modes. In capture mode, the counter state is stored in a
buffer at a selected input event. In compare mode, the channel output reflects the comparison of the counter to a programmed thresh-
old value. In PWM mode, the WTIMER supports generation of pulse-width modulation (PWM) outputs of arbitrary waveforms defined by
the sequence of values written to the compare registers, with optional dead-time insertion available in timer unit WTIMER_0 only.
3.6.3 Real Time Counter and Calendar (RTCC)
The Real Time Counter and Calendar (RTCC) is a 32-bit counter providing timekeeping in all energy modes. The RTCC includes a
Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) calendar mode for easy time and date keeping. The RTCC can be clocked by any of the on-board oscilla-
tors with the exception of the AUXHFRCO, and it is capable of providing system wake-up at user defined instances. When receiving
frames, the RTCC value can be used for timestamping. The RTCC includes 128 bytes of general purpose data retention, allowing easy
and convenient data storage in all energy modes down to EM4H.
A secondary RTC is used by the RF protocol stack for event scheduling, leaving the primary RTCC block available exclusively for appli-
cation software.
3.6.4 Low Energy Timer (LETIMER)
The unique LETIMER is a 16-bit timer that is available in energy mode EM2 Deep Sleep in addition to EM1 Sleep and EM0 Active. This
allows it to be used for timing and output generation when most of the device is powered down, allowing simple tasks to be performed
while the power consumption of the system is kept at an absolute minimum. The LETIMER can be used to output a variety of wave-
forms with minimal software intervention. The LETIMER is connected to the Real Time Counter and Calendar (RTCC), and can be con-
figured to start counting on compare matches from the RTCC.
3.6.5 Ultra Low Power Wake-up Timer (CRYOTIMER)
The CRYOTIMER is a 32-bit counter that is capable of running in all energy modes. It can be clocked by either the 32.768 kHz crystal
oscillator (LFXO), the 32.768 kHz RC oscillator (LFRCO), or the 1 kHz RC oscillator (ULFRCO). It can provide periodic Wakeup events
and PRS signals which can be used to wake up peripherals from any energy mode. The CRYOTIMER provides a wide range of inter-
rupt periods, facilitating flexible ultra-low energy operation.

System Overview
silabs.com | Building a more connected world. Rev. 1.2 | 11
3.6.6 Pulse Counter (PCNT)
The Pulse Counter (PCNT) peripheral can be used for counting pulses on a single input or to decode quadrature encoded inputs. The
clock for PCNT is selectable from either an external source on pin PCTNn_S0IN or from an internal timing reference, selectable from
among any of the internal oscillators, except the AUXHFRCO. The peripheral may operate in energy mode EM0 Active, EM1 Sleep,
EM2 Deep Sleep, and EM3 Stop.
3.6.7 Watchdog Timer (WDOG)
The watchdog timer can act both as an independent watchdog or as a watchdog synchronous with the CPU clock. It has windowed
monitoring capabilities, and can generate a reset or different interrupts depending on the failure mode of the system. The watchdog can
also monitor autonomous systems driven by PRS.
3.7 Communications and Other Digital Peripherals
3.7.1 Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (USART)
The Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter is a flexible serial I/O interface. It supports full duplex asynchronous
UART communication with hardware flow control as well as RS-485, SPI, MicroWire and 3-wire. It can also interface with devices sup-
porting:
ISO7816 SmartCards
IrDA
I2S
3.7.2 Low Energy Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (LEUART)
The unique LEUARTTM provides two-way UART communication on a strict power budget. Only a 32.768 kHz clock is needed to allow
UART communication up to 9600 baud. The LEUART includes all necessary hardware to make asynchronous serial communication
possible with a minimum of software intervention and energy consumption.
3.7.3 Inter-Integrated Circuit Interface (I2C)
The I2C interface enables communication between the MCU and a serial I2C bus. It is capable of acting as both a master and a slave
and supports multi-master buses. Standard-mode, fast-mode and fast-mode plus speeds are supported, allowing transmission rates
from 10 kbit/s up to 1 Mbit/s. Slave arbitration and timeouts are also available, allowing implementation of an SMBus-compliant system.
The interface provided to software by the I2C peripheral allows precise timing control of the transmission process and highly automated
transfers. Automatic recognition of slave addresses is provided in active and low energy modes.
3.7.4 Peripheral Reflex System (PRS)
The Peripheral Reflex System provides a communication network between different peripherals without software involvement. Peripher-
als producing Reflex signals are called producers. The PRS routes Reflex signals from producers to consumer peripherals, which in
turn perform actions in response. Edge triggers and other functionality such as simple logic operations (AND, OR, NOT) can be applied
by the PRS to the signals. The PRS allows peripheral to act autonomously without waking the MCU core, saving power.
3.7.5 Low Energy Sensor Interface (LESENSE)
The Low Energy Sensor Interface LESENSETM is a highly configurable sensor interface with support for up to 16 individually configura-
ble sensors. By controlling the analog comparators, ADC, and DAC, LESENSE is capable of supporting a wide range of sensors and
measurement schemes, and can for instance measure LC sensors, resistive sensors and capacitive sensors. LESENSE also includes a
programmable finite state machine which enables simple processing of measurement results without CPU intervention. LESENSE is
available in energy mode EM2, in addition to EM0 and EM1, making it ideal for sensor monitoring in applications with a strict energy
budget.
3.8 Security Features
3.8.1 General Purpose Cyclic Redundancy Check (GPCRC)
The GPCRC block implements a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) function. It supports both 32-bit and 16-bit polynomials. The suppor-
ted 32-bit polynomial is 0x04C11DB7 (IEEE 802.3), while the 16-bit polynomial can be programmed to any value, depending on the
needs of the application.

3.8.2 Crypto Accelerator (CRYPTO)
The Crypto Accelerator is a fast and energy-efficient autonomous hardware encryption and decryption accelerator. EFR32 devices sup-
port AES encryption and decryption with 128- or 256-bit keys, ECC over both GF(P) and GF(2m), SHA-1 and SHA-2 (SHA-224 and
SHA-256).
Supported block cipher modes of operation for AES include: ECB, CTR, CBC, PCBC, CFB, OFB, GCM, CBC-MAC, GMAC and CCM.
Supported ECC NIST recommended curves include P-192, P-224, P-256, K-163, K-233, B-163 and B-233.
The CRYPTO1 block is tightly linked to the Radio Buffer Controller (BUFC) enabling fast and efficient autonomous cipher operations on
data buffer content. It allows fast processing of GCM (AES), ECC and SHA with little CPU intervention.
CRYPTO also provides trigger signals for DMA read and write operations.
3.8.3 True Random Number Generator (TRNG)
The TRNG is a non-deterministic random number generator based on a full hardware solution. The TRNG is validated with NIST800-22
and AIS-31 test suites as well as being suitable for FIPS 140-2 certification (for the purposes of cryptographic key generation).
3.8.4 Security Management Unit (SMU)
The Security Management Unit (SMU) allows software to set up fine-grained security for peripheral access, which is not possible in the
Memory Protection Unit (MPU). Peripherals may be secured by hardware on an individual basis, such that only priveleged accesses to
the peripheral's register interface will be allowed. When an access fault occurs, the SMU reports the specific peripheral involved and
can optionally generate an interrupt.
3.9 Analog
3.9.1 Analog Port (APORT)
The Analog Port (APORT) is an analog interconnect matrix allowing access to many analog peripherals on a flexible selection of pins.
Each APORT bus consists of analog switches connected to a common wire. Since many clients can operate differentially, buses are
grouped by X/Y pairs.
3.9.2 Analog Comparator (ACMP)
The Analog Comparator is used to compare the voltage of two analog inputs, with a digital output indicating which input voltage is high-
er. Inputs are selected from among internal references and external pins. The tradeoff between response time and current consumption
is configurable by software. Two 6-bit reference dividers allow for a wide range of internally-programmable reference sources. The
ACMP can also be used to monitor the supply voltage. An interrupt can be generated when the supply falls below or rises above the
programmable threshold.
3.9.3 Analog to Digital Converter (ADC)
The ADC is a Successive Approximation Register (SAR) architecture, with a resolution of up to 12 bits at up to 1 Msps. The output
sample resolution is configurable and additional resolution is possible using integrated hardware for averaging over multiple samples.
The ADC includes integrated voltage references and an integrated temperature sensor. Inputs are selectable from a wide range of
sources, including pins configurable as either single-ended or differential.
3.9.4 Capacitive Sense (CSEN)
The CSEN peripheral is a dedicated Capacitive Sensing block for implementing touch-sensitive user interface elements such a
switches and sliders. The CSEN peripheral uses a charge ramping measurement technique, which provides robust sensing even in
adverse conditions including radiated noise and moisture. The peripheral can be configured to take measurements on a single port pin
or scan through multiple pins and store results to memory through DMA. Several channels can also be shorted together to measure the
combined capacitance or implement wake-on-touch from very low energy modes. Hardware includes a digital accumulator and an aver-
aging filter, as well as digital threshold comparators to reduce software overhead.

3.9.5 Digital to Analog Current Converter (IDAC)
The IDAC can source or sink a configurable constant current. This current can be driven on an output pin or routed to the selected ADC
input pin for capacitive sensing. The full-scale current is programmable between 0.05 µA and 64 µA with several ranges consisting of
various step sizes.
3.9.6 Digital to Analog Converter (VDAC)
The Digital to Analog Converter (VDAC) can convert a digital value to an analog output voltage. The VDAC is a fully differential, 500
ksps, 12-bit converter. The opamps are used in conjunction with the VDAC, to provide output buffering. One opamp is used per single-
ended channel, or two opamps are used to provide differential outputs. The VDAC may be used for a number of different applications
such as sensor interfaces or sound output. The VDAC can generate high-resolution analog signals while the MCU is operating at low
frequencies and with low total power consumption. Using DMA and a timer, the VDAC can be used to generate waveforms without any
CPU intervention. The VDAC is available in all energy modes down to and including EM3.
3.9.7 Operational Amplifiers
The opamps are low power amplifiers with a high degree of flexibility targeting a wide variety of standard opamp application areas, and
are available down to EM3. With flexible built-in programming for gain and interconnection they can be configured to support multiple
common opamp functions. All pins are also available externally for filter configurations. Each opamp has a rail to rail input and a rail to
rail output. They can be used in conjunction with the VDAC peripheral or in stand-alone configurations. The opamps save energy, PCB
space, and cost as compared with standalone opamps because they are integrated on-chip.
3.10 Reset Management Unit (RMU)
The RMU is responsible for handling reset of the BGM13P. A wide range of reset sources are available, including several power supply
monitors, pin reset, software controlled reset, core lockup reset, and watchdog reset.
3.11 Core and Memory
3.11.1 Processor Core
The ARM Cortex-M processor includes a 32-bit RISC processor integrating the following features and tasks in the system:
ARM Cortex-M4 RISC processor achieving 1.25 Dhrystone MIPS/MHz
Memory Protection Unit (MPU) supporting up to 8 memory segments
Up to 512 kB flash program memory
Up to 64 kB RAM data memory
Configuration and event handling of all peripherals
2-pin Serial-Wire debug interface
3.11.2 Memory System Controller (MSC)
The Memory System Controller (MSC) is the program memory unit of the microcontroller. The flash memory is readable and writable
from both the Cortex-M and DMA. The flash memory is divided into two blocks; the main block and the information block. Program code
is normally written to the main block, whereas the information block is available for special user data and flash lock bits. There is also a
read-only page in the information block containing system and device calibration data. Read and write operations are supported in en-
ergy modes EM0 Active and EM1 Sleep.
3.11.3 Linked Direct Memory Access Controller (LDMA)
The Linked Direct Memory Access (LDMA) controller allows the system to perform memory operations independently of software. This
reduces both energy consumption and software workload. The LDMA allows operations to be linked together and staged, enabling so-
phisticated operations to be implemented.

4. Electrical Specifications
4.1 Electrical Characteristics
All electrical parameters in all tables are specified under the following conditions, unless stated otherwise:
Typical values are based on TAMB=25 °C and VDD= 3.3 V, by production test and/or technology characterization.
Radio performance numbers are measured in conducted mode, based on Silicon Laboratories reference designs using output pow-
er-specific external RF impedance-matching networks for interfacing to a 50 Ω antenna.
Minimum and maximum values represent the worst conditions across supply voltage, process variation, and operating temperature,
unless stated otherwise.
The BGM13P module has only one external supply pin (VDD). There are several internal supply rails mentioned in the electrical specifi-
cations, whose connections vary based on transmit power configuration. Refer to 3.3 Power for the relationship between the module's
external VDD pin and internal voltage supply rails.
Refer to Table 4.2 General Operating Conditions on page 19 for more details about operational supply and temperature limits.

Note:
1. When a GPIO pin is routed to the analog block through the APORT, the maximum voltage = IOVDD.
2. Valid for IOVDD in valid operating range or when IOVDD is undriven (high-Z). If IOVDD is connected to a low-impedance source
below the valid operating range (e.g. IOVDD shorted to VSS), the pin voltage maximum is IOVDD + 0.3 V, to avoid exceeding the
maximum IO current specifications.
3. To operate above the IOVDD supply rail, over-voltage tolerance must be enabled according to the GPIO_Px_OVTDIS register.
Pins with over-voltage tolerance disabled have the same limits as Standard GPIO.

Note:
1. The absolute voltage allowed at any ADC input is dictated by the power rail supplied to on-chip circuitry, and may be lower than
the effective full scale voltage. All ADC inputs are limited to the ADC supply (AVDD or DVDD depending on
EMU_PWRCTRL_ANASW). Any ADC input routed through the APORT will further be limited by the IOVDD supply to the pin.
2. PSRR is referenced to AVDD when ANASW=0 and to DVDD when ANASW=1 in EMU_PWRCTRL.
3. In ADCn_CNTL register.
4. In ADCn_BIASPROG register.
5. Derived from ADCCLK.
6. Internal reference option used corresponds to selection 2V5 in the SINGLECTRL_REF or SCANCTRL_REF register field. The
differential input range with this configuration is ± 1.25 V. Typical value is characterized using full-scale sine wave input. Minimum
value is production-tested using sine wave input at 1.5 dB lower than full scale.
7. External reference is 1.25 V applied externally to ADCnEXTREFP, with the selection CONF in the SINGLECTRL_REF or
SCANCTRL_REF register field and VREFP in the SINGLECTRLX_VREFSEL or SCANCTRLX_VREFSEL field. The differential
input range with this configuration is ± 1.25 V.

Note:
1. In differential mode, the output is defined as the difference between two single-ended outputs. Absolute voltage on each output is
limited to the single-ended range.
2. Supply current specifications are for VDAC circuitry operating with static output only and do not include current required to drive
the load.
3. Current from HFPERCLK is dependent on HFPERCLK frequency. This current contributes to the total supply current used when
the clock to the DAC peripheral is enabled in the CMU.
4. PSRR calculated as 20 * log10(ΔVDD / ΔVOUT), VDAC output at 90% of full scale
5. Entire range is monotonic and has no missing codes.
6. Gain is calculated by measuring the slope from 10% to 90% of full scale. Offset is calculated by comparing actual VDAC output at
10% of full scale to ideal VDAC output at 10% of full scale with the measured gain.

Note:
1. Current is specified with a total external capacitance of 33 pF per channel. Average current is dependent on how long the periph-
eral is actively sampling channels within the scan period, and scales with the number of samples acquired. Supply current for a
specific application can be estimated by multiplying the current per sample by the total number of samples per period (total_cur-
rent = single_sample_current * (number_of_channels * accumulation)).

Note:
1. Specified configuration for Unit gain buffer configuration is: INCBW = 0, HCMDIS = 0, RESINSEL = DISABLE. VINPUT = 0.5 V,
VOUTPUT = 0.5 V.
2. Specified configuration for 3X-Gain configuration is: INCBW = 1, HCMDIS = 1, RESINSEL = VSS, VINPUT = 0.5 V, VOUTPUT = 1.5
V. Nominal voltage gain is 3.
3. If the maximum CLOAD is exceeded, an isolation resistor is required for stability. See AN0038 for more information.
4. Current into the load resistor is excluded. When the OPAMP is connected with closed-loop gain > 1, there will be extra current to
drive the resistor feedback network. The internal resistor feedback network has total resistance of 143.5 kOhm, which will cause
another ~10 µA current when the OPAMP drives 1.5 V between output and ground.
5. In unit gain connection, UGF is the gain-bandwidth product of the OPAMP. In 3x Gain connection, UGF is the gain-bandwidth
product of the OPAMP and 1/3 attenuation of the feedback network.
6. Step between 0.2V and VOPA-0.2V, 10%-90% rising/falling range.
7. When INCBW is set to 1 the OPAMP bandwidth is increased. This is allowed only when the non-inverting close-loop gain is ≥ 3,
or the OPAMP may not be stable.
8. From enable to output settled. In sample-and-off mode, RC network after OPAMP will contribute extra delay. Settling error < 1mV.
9. When HCMDIS=1 and input common mode transitions the region from VOPA-1.4V to VOPA-1V, input offset will change. PSRR
and CMRR specifications do not apply to this transition region.

2. Specified current is for continuous APORT operation. In applications where the APORT is not requested continuously (e.g. peri-

6. Layout Guidelines
For optimal performance of the BGM13P (with integrated antenna), please follow the PCB layout guidelines and ground plane recom-
mendations indicated in this section.
6.1 Module Placement and Application PCB Layout Guidelines
Place the module at the edge of the PCB, as shown in Figure 6.1 Recommended Application PCB Layout for BGM13P with Integra-
ted Antenna on page 56.
Do not place any metal (traces, components, battery, etc.) within the clearance area of the antenna.
Connect all ground pads directly to a solid ground plane.
Place the ground vias as close to the ground pads as possible.
Do not place plastic or any other dielectric material in contact with the antenna.
Place vias close to
each of the
module’s GND pads
Place vias along all PCB edges
Align module edge with PCB edge

Figure 6.2 Non-optimal Module Placements for BGM13P with Integrated Antenna on page 57 shows examples of layouts that will
result in severely degraded RF performance.
Figure 6.2. Non-optimal Module Placements for BGM13P with Integrated Antenna
The amount of ground plane surrounding the sides of the module will also impact the maximum RF range, as shown in Figure
6.3 Impact of GND Plane Size vs. Range for BGM13P on page 57.
Figure 6.3. Impact of GND Plane Size vs. Range for BGM13P
6.2 Effect of Plastic and Metal Materials
Do not place plastic or any other dielectric material in close proximity to the antenna.
Any metallic objects in close proximity to the antenna will prevent the antenna from radiating freely. The minimum recommended dis-
tance of metallic and/or conductive objects is 10 mm in any direction from the antenna except in the directions of the application PCB
ground planes.
6.3 Locating the Module Close to Human Body
Placing the module in contact with or very close to the human body will negatively impact antenna efficiency and reduce range.

7. Hardware Design Guidelines
The BGM13P is an easy-to-use module with regard to hardware application design. The guidelines in this section should be followed to
guarantee optimal performance.
7.1 Power Supply Requirements
Coin cell batteries cannot withstand high peak currents (e.g. higher than 15 mA). If the peak current exceeds 15 mA it is recommended
to place a 47 - 100 µF capacitor in parallel with the coin cell battery to improve battery life time. Note that the total current consumption
of the application is a combination of the radio, peripherals and MCU current consumption, and all power consumers must be taken into
account. BGM13P should be powered by a unipolar supply voltage with nominal value of 3.3 V.
7.2 Reset Functions
The BGM13P can be reset by three different methods: by pulling the RESET line low, by the internal watchdog timer or by software
command. The reset state in BGM13P does not provide any power saving functionality and is not recommended as a means to con-
serve power. BGM13P has an internal system power-up reset function. The RESET pin includes an on-chip pull-up resistor and can be
left unconnected if no external reset switch or source is used.
7.3 Debug and Firmware Updates
Refer to the following application note: AN958: Debugging and Programming Interfaces for Custom Designs.
7.3.1 Programming and Debug Connections
It is recommended to expose the debug pins in your own hardware design for firmware update and debug purposes. The following table
lists the required pins for JTAG connection and SWD connections.
Certain debug pins have internal pull-down or pull-ups enabled by default, and leaving them enabled may increase current consumption
if left connected to supply or ground. If the JTAG pins are enabled, the module must be power cycled to return to a SWD debug config-
uration.
Table 7.1. Debug Pins
Pin Name Pin Number JTAG Signal SWD Signal Comments
PF3 24 TDI N/A This pin is disabled after reset. Once enabled the pin
has a built-in pull-up.
PF2 23 TDO N/A This pin is disabled after reset.
PF1 22 TMS SWDIO Pin is enabled after reset and has a built-in pull-up.
PF0 21 TCK SWCLK Pin is enabled after reset and has a built-in pull-down.
7.3.2 Packet Trace Interface (PTI)
The BGM13P integrates a true PHY-level packet trace interface (PTI) with the MAC, allowing complete, non-intrusive capture of all
packets to and from the EFR32 Wireless STK development tools. The PTI_DATA and PTI_FRAME signals are accessed via the PB11
and PB12 pins, respectively.

8.3 Alternate Functionality Overview
A wide selection of alternate functionality is available for multiplexing to various pins. The following table shows the name of the alter-
nate functionality in the first column, followed by columns showing the possible LOCATION bitfield settings and the associated GPIO
pin. Refer to 8.2 GPIO Functionality Table for a list of functions available on each GPIO pin.
Note: Some functionality, such as analog interfaces, do not have alternate settings or a LOCATION bitfield. In these cases, the pinout
is shown in the column corresponding to LOCATION 0.

8.4 Analog Port (APORT) Client Maps
The Analog Port (APORT) is an infrastructure used to connect chip pins with on-chip analog clients such as analog comparators, ADCs,
DACs, etc. The APORT consists of a set of shared buses, switches, and control logic needed to configurably implement the signal rout-
ing. Figure 8.2 APORT Connection Diagram on page 83 shows the APORT routing for this device family (note that available features
may vary by part number). A complete description of APORT functionality can be found in the Reference Manual.

Figure 8.2. APORT Connection Diagram
Client maps for each analog circuit using the APORT are shown in the following tables. The maps are organized by bus, and show the
peripheral's port connection, the shared bus, and the connection from specific bus channel numbers to GPIO pins.
BGM13P Blue Gecko Bluetooth ® Module Data Sheet

silabs.com | Building a more connected world. Rev. 1.2 | 83
In general, enumerations for the pin selection field in an analog peripheral's register can be determined by finding the desired pin con-
nection in the table and then combining the value in the Port column (APORT__), and the channel identifier (CH__). For example, if pin
PF7 is available on port APORT2X as CH23, the register field enumeration to connect to PF7 would be APORT2XCH23. The shared
bus used by this connection is indicated in the Bus column.

10. Soldering Recommendations
The BGM13P is compatible with industrial standard reflow profile for Pb-free solders. The reflow profile used is dependent on the ther-
mal mass of the entire populated PCB, heat transfer efficiency of the oven, and particular type of solder paste used.
Refer to technical documentations of particular solder paste for profile configurations.
Avoid using more than two reflow cycles.
A no-clean, type-3 solder paste is recommended.
A stainless steel, laser-cut and electro-polished stencil with trapezoidal walls should be used to assure good solder paste release.
Recommended stencil thickness is 0.100mm (4 mils).
Refer to the recommended PCB land pattern for an example stencil aperture size.
For further recommendation, please refer to the JEDEC/IPC J-STD-020, IPC-SM-782 and IPC 7351 guidelines.
Above notes and stencil design are shared as recommendations only. A customer or user may find it necessary to use different
parameters and fine tune their SMT process as required for their application and tooling.

11. Certifications
11.1 Qualified Antenna Types
The BGM13P variants supporting an external antenna have been designed to operate with a standard 2.14 dBi dipole antenna. Any
antenna of a different type or with a gain higher than 2.14 dBi is strictly prohibited for use with this device. Using an antenna of a differ-
ent type or gain more than 2.14 dBi will require additional testing for FCC, CE and IC. The required antenna impedance is 50 Ω.
Table 11.1. Qualified Antennas for BGM13P
Antenna Type Maximum Gain
Dipole 2.14 dBi
11.2 Bluetooth
The BGM13P is pre-qualified as a Low Energy RF-PHY tested component, having Declaration ID of D037287 and QDID of 101562. For
the qualification of an end product embedding the BGM13P, the above should be combined with the most up to date Wireless Gecko
Link Layer and Host components.
11.3 CE
The BGM13P22 module is in conformity with the essential requirements and other relevant requirements of the Radio Equipment Direc-
tive (RED) (2014/53/EU). Please note that every application using the BGM13P22 will need to perform the radio EMC tests on the end
product, according to EN 301 489-17. It is ultimately the responsibility of the manufacturer to ensure the compliance of the end-product.
The specific product assembly may have an impact to RF radiated characteristics, and manufacturers should carefully consider RF
radiated testing with the end-product assembly. A formal DoC is available via www.silabs.com
The BGM13P32 module is in conformity with the essential requirements and other relevant requirements of the Radio Equipment Direc-
tive(RED) at up to 10 dBm RF transmit power when not using Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH). With early module firmware versions
that do not support AFH and that do not have built-in functionality to limit the max RF transmit power to 10 dBm automatically, it is
responsibility of the end-product's manufacturer to limit output power accordingly. With newer firmware versions supporting AFH, the
end-product’s manufacturer has the option to enable AFH and transmit at full output power while the module remains compliant or, al-
ternatively, to disable AFH in which case the max RF transmit power will be automatically limited to 10 dBm, making the module compli-
ant in all cases. Please refer to the firmware change log to verify which version introduced AFH.
