RF Layout Suggestion (aka Keep-Out Area)

Make sure to keep the “No Ground Pad” as wider as you can regardless of the size of yourPCB.
No Ground Pad should be included in the corresponding position of the antenna in EACH
LAYER.
Place the module towards the edge of PCB to have better performance than placing it on thecenter.

GPIO Located Near the Radio

Please refer to 2.5 Pin Assignment on page 16 to 18 where identifies some GPIO that haverecommended usage. To maximize RF performance, these GPIO are only available to use
under standard drive, low frequency I/O only, wrong usage may lead to undesirable
performance.
Low frequency I/O is a signal with a frequency up to 10 kHz. SPI, I2C, UART, PWM are
NOT low frequency I/O.

6310. Notes and Cautions
Module is not designed to last for a lifetime. Like general products, it is expected to be wornout after continuous usage through the years. To assure that product will perform better andlast longer, please make sure you:⚫

Follow the guidelines of this document while designing circuit/end-product. Any
discrepancy of core Bluetooth technology and technical specification of IC should refer todefinition of Bluetooth Organization and Nordic Semiconductor as final reference.

⚫

Do not supply voltage that is not within range of specification.

⚫

Eliminate static electricity at any cost when working with the module as it may cause
damage. It is highly recommended adding anti-ESD components to circuit design toprevent damage from real-life ESD events. Anti-ESD methods can be also applied inmechanical design.

⚫

Do not expose modules under direct sunlight for long duration. Modules should be kept
away from humid and salty air conditions, and any corrosive gasses or substances. Storeit within -40℃ to +125℃ before and after installation.

⚫

Avoid any physical shock, intense stress to the module or its surface.

⚫

Do not wash the module. No-Clean Paste is used in production. Washing it will oxidize
the metal shield and have chemistry reaction with No-Clean Paste. Functions of themodule are not guaranteed if it has been washed.

The module is not suitable for life support device or system and not allowed to be used in
destructive device or systems in any direct or indirect ways. The customer agrees toindemnify Raytac for any losses when applying modules in applications such as the ones
described above.
