Hardware Overview

How does it work?

BL653 Click is based on the BL653, a longer-range Bluetooth LE  module for next-generation industrial IoT from Ezurio. This module, powered by Nordic’s nRF52833 silicon, integrates a powerful Cortex-M4F microcontroller, offering 512kB of flash memory and 128kB of RAM for hostless operation and efficient application processing. With its multi-wireless capabilities (Bluetooth v5.4 and NFC) and modular certifications for FCC, ISED, EU, RCM, MIC, KC, AS/NZS, and Bluetooth SIG, the BL653 Click ensures quick and hassle-free deployment in global markets. It represents the future of wireless Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) connectivity to implement reliable wireless communication in even the harshest operating environments. This Click board™ provides a wide range of configurable interfaces, including UART, I2C, SPI, USB, and NFC, allowing easy integration into diverse industrial systems. It supports peripheral and central Bluetooth LE roles, enabling data collection, device control, and proximity-sensing applications. Its support for Bluetooth 5.4 features like direction finding (AoA and AoD) and multiple data rates, including 2Mbps, 1Mbps, and 125kbps coded PHY, ensures high-performance communication over long distances. It can be easily programmed using a simple AT command set, Zephyr RTOS, or the

Nordic SDK, allowing developers to create event-driven, automated applications or implement custom solutions. This Click board™ establishes communication between the BL653 module and the host MCU through a UART interface, using standard UART RX and TX pins and hardware flow control via CTS and RTS pins. The default communication speed is set at 115200bps, ensuring efficient data exchange. The host MCU configures communication and other features using high-level AT commands, making it easy to manage without requiring in-depth knowledge of Bluetooth protocol. Additionally, the board includes an SPI interface with a maximum clock speed of 8MHz and an I2C interface with a maximum clock speed of 400kHz. In addition to the interface pins, the board features a reset (RST) pin for hard resetting the module when necessary and an ARN pin as AutoRUN signal of the BL653 module that selects between the two BL653 operating modes at power-up: self-contained run mode or interactive/development mode. This board also includes a USB Type-C connector for USB 2.0 Full Speed 12Mbps hardware capability, allowing both power supply and configuration via a PC. This functionality is enabled by the CP2102N, a highly integrated USB-to-UART bridge, along with the

NCP1117 LDO regulator, which converts the USB supply to the necessary 3.3V for the module. BL653 Click also includes dedicated pins for NFC support, fully compliant with the NFC Forum specification. This feature operates at 13.56MHz with a data rate of 106kbps, supporting NFC Type 2 and Type 4 tag emulation. It offers multiple modes of operation, including disable, sense, and activated, providing flexibility for integrating advanced NFC functionalities into your applications. Additionally, the board features two user-configurable buttons (BTN1 and BTN2) and two user-configurable LED indicators (a blue LED1 and an orange LED2) for customizable user interaction and status indication. For development and debugging purposes, the Click board™ is equipped with unsoldered pins for an SWD interface, enabling easy access to programming and debugging functionalities. This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. It also comes equipped with a library containing functions and 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.
