Layout Design Suggestions • General Layout Rules- All Printed Circuit Boards must comply with UL94V0 standard for flammability. Always use RoHS compliant Parts and materials. • Suggestions for Layout: 1. Do not place Power circuit, X’tal, Inductor, etc near RF area. 2. The bigger Antenna clearance area, the better. The Antenna itself needs to stay away from any circuit or component at least 3mm. Antenna clearance area means Top and Bottom both required to be cleared. 3.

RD State Machine Control Register Table & Description RB9500contains 51 x 8-bit control registers. MCU can access those control registers via 3-wire (SCS, SCK, SDIO) or 4-wire (SCS, SCK, SDIO, GIO1/GIO2) SPI interface (support max. SPI data rate up to 10 Mbps). RB9500is simply controlled by registers and outputs its status to MCU by GIO1 and GIO2 pins. See datasheet for the details.
FCC & IC Label and Model Identification The RB9500 module family is FCC Part 15 and IC (Industry Canada) certified. The RB9500 is also CE marked. The modules are labeled with the RB9500 module model number and FCC Part 15 ID, IC registration number and CE mark. The label can be found on top of the metal shielding on the RB9500 Module.
Note: Models RB9500 will have an additional Product ID label containing the HM model number.
