5.0 APPLICATION REFERENCE
CIRCUITS
5.1 External Configuration and
Programming
The RN4870/71 module can be configured and firm-
ware programmed using an external configuration and
programming tool.
Figure 5-1 shows the mandatory
connections required between the module and the
external programming header. It is recommended to
include these pin connections on the host PCB for
development. For accessing the various configuration
and indication pins, use
Table 1-2 , Table 1-3 , Table 1-4
and Table 1-5 .
5.2 Reference Circuit
Figure 5-2 through Figure 5-5 show the reference
circuits for various modules under the RN4870/71 family.
In the circuits, the power input range is 1.9V ~ 3.6V. A
battery reverse protection circuit is recommended in
case a battery power input is used. Note that the
VDD_IO is the same as the power input. In case of an
LED connection, the power input must be greater than
3.0V. For the RN4870U, an RF antenna matching circuit
must also be included, as shown in
Figure 5-3 .
