Hardware Overview

How does it work?

NB IoT 6 Click is based on the BC65, a high-performance multi-band NB-IoT module from Quectel with ultra-low power consumption, designed in compliance with 3GPP Release 13 and Release 14 standards. Operating in a wide frequency range from approximately 700MHz up to 2.2GHz, the BC65 supports multiple LTE bands including B1, B3, B5, B8, B20, and B28, protocol stacks like UDP, TCP, and MQTT, along with a transmission power of 23dBm ±2dB and excellent receiving sensitivity of -114dBm without retransmission. This board brings reliable Narrowband IoT connectivity to embedded applications, such as smart metering, asset tracking, smart parking, wearables, smart city solutions, agriculture, environmental monitoring, and home appliances that requires wide-area coverage and stable communication. Communication between the BC65 and the host MCU is made through a UART interface, using standard UART RX and TX pins and Ring Indicator for data transfer. The module defaults to a communication speed of 115200bps, allowing for data exchange over AT commands. The board also includes several additional functionalities that

enhance its usability and control. The PWR button allows users to easily power the module ON or OFF, while the RESET button provides a quick way to reset the module. These functions can also be controlled digitally via the mikroBUS™ pins PWR and RST, offering greater flexibility. NB IoT 6 Click also integrates a rich set of additional communication and peripheral interfaces alongside the main UART connection, making it highly adaptable for diverse development scenarios. In addition to the primary UART interface used for standard data communication, the board provides dedicated pins for a debug UART (DBG), which is intended for firmware debugging and upgrading. It further includes an auxiliary UART (AUX) that allows flexible use of AT command communication and data transmission, giving developers extended control and connectivity options within their applications. Moreover, the module features one general-purpose 10-bit ADC channel that supports input signal levels from 0 to 1.8V, enabling straightforward analog signal acquisition for monitoring external sensors or other analog sources. The board features one SMA connector for the LTE antenna that MIKROE offers, like the LTE

Flat Rotation Antenna, and one blue NET LED that indicates the current network status of the module. The device has successfully registered on the network when the LED blinks slowly. A fast blinking pattern signals data transmission. When the LED is completely OFF, it indicates that the device is either powered OFF or in Power Saving Mode (PSM). The board also has a micro SIM card holder that supports both 1.8V and 3.0V uSIM cards, allowing users to select the most appropriate service provider for their particular use case. This Click board™ can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. Since the BC65 module operates at 4.07V and communicates at 1.8V, a logic-level translator, the TXB0104 is also used for proper operation and an accurate signal-level translation. This way, both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs can use the communication lines properly. Also, this Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.

Designed with expansion and flexibility in mind, the Nucleo-64 board features an ARDUINO® Uno V3 expansion connector and ST morpho extension pin

headers, granting complete access to the STM32's I/Os for comprehensive project integration. Power supply options are adaptable, supporting ST-LINK USB VBUS or external power sources, ensuring adaptability in various development environments. The board also has an on-board ST-LINK debugger/programmer with USB re-enumeration capability, simplifying the programming and debugging process. Moreover, the board is designed to simplify advanced development with its external SMPS for efficient Vcore logic supply, support for USB Device full speed or USB SNK/UFP full speed, and built-in cryptographic features, enhancing both the power efficiency and security of projects. Additional connectivity is

provided through dedicated connectors for external SMPS experimentation, a USB connector for the ST-LINK, and a MIPI® debug connector, expanding the possibilities for hardware interfacing and experimentation. Developers will find extensive support through comprehensive free software libraries and examples, courtesy of the STM32Cube MCU Package. This, combined with compatibility with a wide array of Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), including IAR Embedded Workbench®, MDK-ARM, and STM32CubeIDE, ensures a smooth and efficient development experience, allowing users to fully leverage the capabilities of the Nucleo-64 board in their projects.

Accessories

Click Shield for Nucleo-64 comes equipped with two proprietary mikroBUS™ sockets, allowing all the Click board™ devices to be interfaced with the STM32 Nucleo-64 board with no effort. This way, Mikroe allows its users to add any functionality from our ever-growing range of Click boards™, such as WiFi, GSM, GPS, Bluetooth, ZigBee, environmental sensors, LEDs, speech recognition, motor control, movement sensors, and many more. More than 1537 Click boards™, which can be stacked and integrated, are at your disposal. The STM32 Nucleo-64 boards are based on the microcontrollers in 64-pin packages, a 32-bit MCU with an ARM Cortex M4 processor operating at 84MHz, 512Kb Flash, and 96KB SRAM, divided into two regions where the top section represents the ST-Link/V2 debugger and programmer while the bottom section of the board is an actual development board. These boards are controlled and powered conveniently through a USB connection to program and efficiently debug the Nucleo-64 board out of the box, with an additional USB cable connected to the USB mini port on the board. Most of the STM32 microcontroller pins are brought to the IO pins on the left and right edge of the board, which are then connected to two existing mikroBUS™ sockets. This Click Shield also has several switches that perform functions such as selecting the logic levels of analog signals on mikroBUS™ sockets and selecting logic voltage levels of the mikroBUS™ sockets themselves. Besides, the user is offered the possibility of using any Click board™ with the help of existing bidirectional level-shifting voltage translators, regardless of whether the Click board™ operates at a 3.3V or 5V logic voltage level. Once you connect the STM32 Nucleo-64 board with our Click Shield for Nucleo-64, you can access hundreds of Click boards™, working with 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels.
