Embedded Bluetooth Low Energy Solution
1 General Description
The family of AMS00x ‘Bobcat’ modules from ACKme
Networks is based on an ultra-low power Bluetooth
Low Energy (Bluetooth Smart) SoC from Broadcom Cor-
poration. All modules incorporate serial-flash memory
and a printed antenna to provide a state-of-the-art ful-
ly-certified Bluetooth 4.1 solution.
An integrated solution avoids difficult RF layout and
enables designers to rapidly embed Bluetooth Low En-
ergy into virtually any device.
The AMS001 (Low Power) version slashes active power
consumption for applications requiring multi-year bat-
tery life, while the AMS002 (Low Cost) version provides
the lowest cost solution suitable for price sensitive ap-
plications. The modules are 100% footprint compatible.
Modules ship with ACKme TruConnect, an easy-to-use
application enabling control and configuration via
UART-serial and remote terminal interfaces. TruCon-
nect virtually eliminates difficult and time-consuming
software development effort and vastly reduces prod-
uct development cycles.
With dimensions of just 17.6 x 11.4 mm, a wide tem-
perature range, and an ultra-low power version, the
module is suitable for integration into any battery-
powered embedded wireless application.
The Bluetooth Low Energy SoC from Broadcom is pur-
pose-designed to support the entire spectrum of Blue-
tooth Smart use cases for medical, home automation,
accessory, sensor, retail and wearable market seg-
ments. Superior receive sensitivity, an integrated RF
transmit power amplifier and transmit/receive switch,
along with the on-board antenna, provide extended
range and full compatibility with all Bluetooth 4.1 de-
vices.
At the heart of all AMS00x modules is a Bluetooth Low
Energy SoC with a high-performance ARM® 32-bit Cor-
tex™-M3 core operating at a frequency of 24 MHz. The
SoC includes is configured to boot applications stored in
the 8 Mbit serial flash memory available on-board the
module.
The Broadcom BLE SoC supports Adaptive Frequency
Hopping.

Each module provides an extensive array of I/O and
peripheral interfaces. The following interfaces are
available, many of which are accessible with I/O multi-
plexing and alternate function capabilities:
7 x A/D converter channels
2 x UART interfaces: 1 x 4-wire, 1 x 2-wire
1 x SPI master, 1 x SPI slave bus
1 x I
2
C interface
Up to 12 x ultra-low power wake input
32kHz crystal interface
The module may be powered directly from a battery
supply in the range 1.8-3.6V including 2xAAA, 2xAA, or
a single Lithium coin cell.
Internal power domains are automatically adjusted to
minimize power dissipation based on user activity. Var-
ious power modes, including an ultra-low power deep
sleep mode, are provided to minimize total average
power consumption and maximize battery life.
Custom factory settings may be saved to a non-erasable
area of static memory to enable out-of-the-box custom
product configuration and the ability to return products
incorporating the module to a known factory reset
state.
The module may be woken from deep sleep mode by a
level transition on the GPIO assigned for stream mode
selection. Other GPIOs may be dynamically allocated for
control and status including a BLE connection indicator,
serial bus mode control and status indicator, audible
alerts and factory reset.
An internal 32kHz low-power oscillator is available by
default for non-critical timing requirements. Applica-
tions requiring an accurate real-time clock may connect
an (optional) external 32kHz crystal.
All versions of the module have Bluetooth BQB SIG cer-
tification, and FCC & IC modular approval for use in the
United States and Canada, and CE approval for use in
Europe and other countries.
