Introduction
The DA14580 Range Extender v.2 module design is based on the Dialog Semiconductor DA14580
BLE Smart SoC, where enhanced RF transmitted power is presented. This module serves as
reference design to potential customers requesting BLE functionality with Nominal RF Output power
up to +9.3 dBm (Peak RF Output Power +9.8 dBm). From physical perspective, the module is a two
layer PCBA where the digital and power interfaces of the DA14580 are accessible to the user. This
document presents the system, technical specifications, physical dimensions and test results.

System overview
Features
4.1
■
Highly integrated Dialog Semiconductor DA14580
Bluetooth ® Smart SoC
■
Module can be used as either stand-alone or as a data pump on a system with an external
processor
■
Module satisfies all Bluetooth requirements
■
No external crystal or additional passive components are required for module operation, as the
module is equipped with two crystal oscillators one at 16MHz (XTAL16M) and a second at
32.738KHz (XTAL32K). The 32.738 KHz is used as the clock of Extended/ Deep Sleep modes.
