8. Functional description
8.1 Application CPU
The Arm Cortex-M4 includes three AHB-Lite buses, one system bus and the I-code and
D-code buses. One bus is dedicated for instruction fetch (I-code), and one bus is
dedicated for data access (D-code). The use of two core buses allows for simultaneous
operations if concurrent operations target different devices.
A multi-layer AHB matrix connects the CPU buses and other bus masters to peripherals in
a flexible manner that optimizes performance by allowing peripherals on different slave
ports of the matrix to be accessed simultaneously by different bus masters. Note that
while the AHB bus itself supports word, halfword, and byte accesses, not all AHB
peripherals need or provide that support.
APB peripherals are connected to the AHB matrix via two APB buses using separate
slave ports from the multilayer AHB matrix. This allows for better performance by reducing
collisions between the CPU and the DMA controller, and also for peripherals on the
asynchronous bridge to have a fixed clock that does not track the system clock. Note that
APB, by definition, does not directly support byte or halfword accesses.

QN9090(T)/QN9030(T)
The CPU, AHB and DMA sub-systems are all synchronous and can operate at 48 MHz
(FRO), 32 MHz (FRO), 32 MHz (XTAL), 24 MHz (FRO), 16 MHz (XTAL), 12 MHz (FRO).
8.1.1 Arm Cortex-M4 processor
The Arm Cortex-M4 is a general purpose, 32-bit microprocessor, which offers high
performance and very Low power consumption. The Arm Cortex-M4 offers many features,
including a Thumb-2 instruction set, low interrupt latency, hardware divide,
interruptible/continuable multiple load and store instructions, automatic state save and
restore for interrupts, tightly integrated interrupt controller with wake-up interrupt
controller, and multiple core buses capable of simultaneous accesses.
A 3-stage pipeline is employed so that all parts of the processing and memory systems
can operate continuously. Typically, while one instruction is being executed, its successor
is being decoded, and a third instruction is being fetched from memory.
8.1.2 Memory Protection Unit
The Cortex-M4 includes a Memory Protection Unit (MPU) which can be used to improve
the reliability of an embedded system by protecting critical data within the user
application.
The MPU allows separating processing tasks by disallowing access to each other's data.
Access to memory regions can be disabled and also be defined as read-only. It detects
unexpected memory accesses that could potentially break the system.
The MPU separates the memory into distinct regions and implements protection by
preventing disallowed accesses. The MPU supports up to eight regions, each of which is
divided into eight sub-regions. Accesses to memory locations that are not defined in the
MPU regions, or not permitted by the region setting, will trigger memory management fault
exception.
8.1.3 System Tick Timer (SysTick)
The Arm Cortex-M4 core includes a System Tick timer (SysTick) that generates a
dedicated SYSTICK exception. The clock source for the SysTick can be the system clock,
or a divided version of this.
8.1.4 Nested Vector Interrupt controller (NVIC)
The NVIC is an integral part of the Cortex-M4 that efficiently supports many interrupt
sources with configurable priority levels.
8.1.4.1 Features
• Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller that is an integral part of the CPU
• Tightly coupled interrupt controller provides low interrupt latency
• Controls system exceptions and peripheral interrupts
• 56 vectored interrupts
• 8 programmable interrupt priority levels with hardware priority level masking
• Relocatable vector table using Vector Table Offset Register VTOR
• Software interrupt generation
• Support for Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) from any interrupt

8.2.1 SRAM
Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 wireless MCU
QN9090(T)/QN9030(T)
The main SRAM is comprised of up to a total 152 KB on-chip static RAM memory. The
main SRAM is implemented as several SRAM instances to allow for more control of power
usage when less SRAM is required (2 4 KB instances, 2 8 KB instances and 8 16 KB
instances). Each SRAM has a separate clock control and power switch.
See Table 2 for SRAM size of each parts.
8.2.2 SRAM usage
Although always contiguous on all QN9090 devices, the SRAM instances are divided
between two AHB matrix ports. This allows user programs to potentially obtain better
performance by dividing RAM usage among the ports. For example, simultaneous access
to SRAM0 by the CPU and SRAM1 by the system DMA controller does not result in any
bus stalls for either master.
Generally speaking, the CPU will read or write all peripheral data at some point, even
when all such data is read from or sent to a peripheral by DMA. So, minimizing stalls is
likely to involve putting data to/from different peripherals in RAM on each port.
Alternatively, sequences of data from the same peripheral could be alternated between
RAM on each port. This could be helpful if DMA fills or empties a RAM buffer, then signals
the CPU before proceeding on to a second buffer. The CPU would then tend to access the
data while the DMA is using RAM on the other port. On the QN9030, all the RAM is
accessed through one AHB matrix slave port.
8.2.3 FLASH
The QN9090 embeds flash for code and data storage. It is accessed through a flash
controller that simplifies the use of the flash.
• QN9090 embeds a total of 640 KB of Flash, QN9030 a total of 320 KB
• Flash sector is 512 bytes
• 100 kcycles page endurance guaranteed
• Software is provided to manage data storage in the flash and provides wear leveling
features
• Data retention 10 years
8.2.4 AHB multilayer matrix
The QN9090 uses a multi-layer AHB matrix to connect the CPU buses and other bus
masters to peripherals in a flexible manner that optimizes performance by allowing
peripherals that are on different slave ports of the matrix to be accessed simultaneously
by different bus masters.
8.3 System clocks
The following system clocks are used to drive the on-chip subsystems of the QN9090:
• The low power wake timers are driven by a low frequency 32 kHz clock.
• The main digital systems are driven from a high frequency clock source.
• The system controller state machines are driven from a 1 MHz FRO.

QN9090(T)/QN9030(T)
These system clocks are used within the device for the digital functionality. Some
functional blocks can also source a clock from the interface and this is explained in when
the digital blocks are presented.
8.3.1 32 kHz clock
There are two possible sources for the 32kHz clock.
There is an internal FRO that gives 32.768 kHz with accuracy of ±2%; this requires no
external components.
A 32 kHz XTAL is also supported. The XTAL is connected to XTAL_32K_P and
XTAL_32K_N pins. The cell has configurable internal capacitors and therefore, except for
the XTAL itself, no other external components are typically required. Very accurate XTALs
are available. This option is recommended for accurate timings.
8.3.2 High frequency system clock
There are two possible sources for the high-speed system clock.
There is an internal high speed FRO that supports clock frequencies of 48 MHz, 32 MHz,
24 MHz and 12 MHz. This does not require any external components and has an
accuracy of ±2%.
A 32 MHz XTAL is also supported. The cell has configurable internal capacitors and
therefore, except for the XTAL itself, no other external components are typically required.
An accurate XTAL must be used for the radio operation. The system clock can be chosen
to be sourced from the FRO or XTAL and this choice is separate to the operation of the
radio using the XTAL clock. When selecting the XTAL as the source for the high frequency
system clock, it is possible to select 32 MHz or 16 MHz.
The high frequency system clock is used for the processor and the system buses.
8.3.3 1 MHz FRO
A 1 MHz FRO is used by the core system controller and the state machine involved in the
device start-up and shut-down. High accuracy of this clock is not necessary and it has a
tolerance of ±15%.
8.4 Resets and brownout
A system reset initializes the device to a pre-defined state and forces the CPU to start
program execution from the reset vector. The reset process that the QN9090 goes
through is as follows.
When power is first applied or when the external reset is released, the FRO1MHz is
started, then the DCDC converter is started. After that, the system power domain is
started. When these domains are stable, the flash and main core domain LDOs are
enabled. When these are stable, the high speed FRO is enabled and the elements
necessary for CPU operation are enabled. Configuration data is read from the flash and
the boot process begins.
Depending on the configuration and flash contents then the application may be executed,
or the device may enter In System Programming (ISP) mode.

QN9090(T)/QN9030(T)
The initial power-up sequence will not begin if the device power is too low; in this case the
Power-on reset module will keep the device in a reset state until there is sufficient voltage.
Additionally, the brown-out detect block will keep the device in reset until a safe operating
voltage is reached.
Once the device is operating, the brownout module can be used to interrupt the processor
in case operating voltage changes occur. This allows software to manage a clean
response to the event. The brownout threshold is configurable to support a range of
applications.
Several resets are supported that can affect all or most of the device. These are
presented in the following sub-sections.
8.4.1 External reset
An external reset is generated by a low level on the RSTN pin. Reset pulses longer than
the minimum pulse width will generate a reset during active or power-down modes.
Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate a reset. The QN9090 is held in reset while
the RSTN pin is low. When the applied signal reaches the reset threshold voltage on its
positive edge, the internal reset process starts.
The QN9090 has an internal pull-up resistor connect to the RSTN pin. This pin is the input
for an external reset only.
8.4.2 Software reset
A system reset can be triggered at any time through software control, causing a full chip
reset and invalidating the RAM contents. For example, this can be executed within a
user's application upon detection of a system failure.
8.4.3 Watchdog timer
The watchdog timer can cause a full chip reset if it reaches its timeout point and it is
configured to generate a reset, rather than an interrupt. In normal operation, the software
will periodically service the watchdog to prevent this timeout occurring. Typically, a
watchdog timeout indicates an unexpected lock-up within the system.
8.4.4 Arm system reset
The CPU can cause a reset by requesting a System reset. This reset causes a reset of
the CPU and the core digital functionality, digital peripherals and the 32 MHz XTAL. The
power domains within the device, such as the DCDC converter and core LDO are
unaffected so that the CPU will restart quicker than if a software reset is performed.
8.5 System configuration (SYSCON)
The device has many system level features which support the operation of the device,
such as clock control. In addition there is functionality provided to allow the software to
manage the system, such as controlling wake-up sources. These features include:
• System and bus configuration
• Clock select and control
• Reset control
• Wake-up control

8.6 Power management
This section provides an overview of power related information about
QN9090(T)/QN9030(T) devices.
These devices include a variety of adjustable regulators, power switches, and clock
switches to allow fine tuning power usage to match requirements at different performance
levels and reduced power modes. All devices include an on-chip API in the boot ROM to
adjust power consumption in reduced power modes, and provide entry to those modes.
8.6.1 Power supply
The device is powered by VBAT, which requires a 10 F decoupling capacitor to ground.
To give efficient operation, the device has an on-chip DCDC buck converter; it is turned on
when the device is in active and sleep modes and, using external connections, it provides
the supply voltage to the PMU and Radio. The converter is powered from VBAT and the
external output of the DCDC converter, FB, requires a 10 F decoupling capacitor to
ground. For the DCDC converter to function correctly, a filtered version of FB must be
input to LX, This is achieved with a 4.7 H inductor. The DCDC converter output, FB, must
be routed to device pins VDD(radio) and VDD(pmu) so that the whole system is powered
correctly.
The two VDD power inputs supply the power to most of the device, either directly or via
on-chip regulators and power switches. These are used to manage power consumption
based on the required mode of operation.
There is an always-on power domain which is powered by VBAT and includes the core
functions to control device start-up and the functionality required in the very low power
modes. This domain always has power as long as sufficient voltage is supplied to VBAT.
A further domain is important for supporting the power down mode. It includes the RTC,
wake-up timer and some clock, reset and wakeup control. This domain is always has
power as long as sufficient voltage is supplied to VDD and provided that the device is not
in deep power-down mode.
See Figure 8 “Application diagram – battery powered solution” for the power connections.
8.6.2 Power modes
A variety of power modes are supported for the optimization of power consumption,
including active, sleep, deep-sleep, power-down and deep power-down. Upon power-up
or reset, the device enters active mode. After processing is complete, the software puts
the chip into sleep mode or power-down mode, to save power consumption. The device is
woken up either by a reset or an interrupt trigger like a GPIO interrupt, timer timeout, or
other wake-up sources.

QN9090(T)/QN9030(T)
An API is provided so that software can easily use the power modes. The API performs all
the configuration necessary for the different power modes, including setting power
domains to the correct state and voltage, shutting down the flash controller safely,
enabling the wake up mechanisms. The following sections introduces modes supported in
order from highest to lowest power consumption.
8.6.2.1 Active mode
The part is in active mode after a Power-On Reset (POR) and when it is fully powered and
operational after booting.
8.6.2.2 Sleep mode
Sleep mode saves a significant amount of power by stopping CPU execution without
affecting peripherals or requiring significant wake-up time. The sleep mode affects the
relevant CPU only. The clock to the core is shut off. Peripherals and memories are active
and operational.
8.6.2.3 Deep-sleep mode
Deep-sleep mode is highly configurable and can reduce power consumption, compared to
Sleep mode by turning off more functions. Additionally, core voltages are reduced to save
power. Wake-up times are longer than for Sleep mode due to the time needed to restart
the functions. The clock to the CPU is shut down. The clock to the peripherals may also
be disabled. The SRAM and registers maintain their internal states.
Entry to these modes can be accomplished by the CPU using the power profiles API,
selected peripherals can be left running for safe operation of the part (e.g. RTC, WWDT
and BOD, depending upon the mode). The flash is placed in standby mode and system
clocks may be disabled.
8.6.2.4 Power-down mode
In Power-down mode the core of the device and the flash is powered down, most clocks
are stopped. Power consumption is very low with the cost of a longer wake-up time. The
processor and most digital peripherals are powered off. USART0, SPI0 and I2C0 can
operate with limited functionality in power down mode and have the ability to wake the
device. Low power sleep timers can be enabled to generate a wake-up at a certain time in
the future. Wakeup is also possible by GPIOs, analog comparator, RTC, BOD VBAT and
NTAG field detect. All, or part, of the SRAM can be optionally retained at the cost of extra
current consumption.
8.6.2.5 Deep power-down mode
Deep Power-down mode shuts down virtually all on-chip power consumption, but requires
a significantly longer wake-up time. For maximal power savings, the entire system (CPU,
memories and all peripherals) is shut down except for the PMU. Wake-up is possible from
reset, NTAG field detect, and optionally GPIO. On wake-up, the part reboots.
8.6.2.6 Wake-up sources
All interrupts to the CPU can be used as a wake-up from sleep.
The following table shows the possible wake-up sources from deep-sleep, power-down
and deep power-down.

8.7.2 General description
The 22 digital IOs have multiplexed functionality, supporting one or more digital
peripherals and also a basic General Purpose IO function (GPIO). In GPIO mode it is
possible to configure the IO as an input or as an output.
As an input it is possible to configure IO wake a device from powerdown and deep
powerdown. The input value can also be read.
Using the Pin Interrupt/ Pattern Match function (PINT) it is possible to configure up to 4
digital IOs to be able to generate an interrupt based for active high or low functionality.
Alternatively the 4 IOs can be combined in various ways to generate an interrupt. These
interrupt are able to wake the CPU from sleep mode.
Additionally, a Group Interrupt function (GINT) allows any selection of up to all 22 IOs to
be combined into a AND or OR function in order to generate the group interrupt. The
polarity of each IO used in the function can be configured.
Two of the digital IO cells support true I2C functionality and standard digital IO
functionality, These support a pull-up resistor, drive strength control.
The other 20 digital IOs cells are configurable to support drive strength options, pull-up or
pull-down functions and the ability to operate in a pseudo open-drain mode.
The output value of each IO can be held during a power-down cycle if required.
Two DIO pins can optionally be used to provide control signals for RF circuitry (e.g.
switches and PA) in high-power range extenders. PIO4_8_10_14_20/RFTX is asserted
when the radio is in the transmit state and similarly, PIO5_11_15_21/RFRX is asserted
when the radio is in the receiver state. From software and test perspective, it is
recommended to use PIO4 or PIO20 for RFTX and PIO5 or PIO21 for RFRX.
8.8 DMA controller
The DMA controller allows peripheral to memory, memory to peripheral, and memory
single source and destination.
• 19 channel which are connected to peripheral DMA requests. These come from the
USART, SPI-bus, I2C-bus, PDM and SPIFI interfaces. Any otherwise unused
channels can also be used for functions such as memory-to-memory moves.
• DMA operations can be triggered by on-chip or off-chip events. Each DMA channel
can select one trigger input from 18 sources. Trigger sources include ADC interrupts,
timer interrupts, pin interrupts, and the SCT DMA request lines
• Priority is user selectable for each channel (up to eight priority levels)
• Continuous priority arbitration
• Address cache with four entries (each entry is a pair of addresses)
• Efficient use of data bus
• Supports single transfers up to 1,024 words
• Address increment options allow packing and/or unpacking data

8.9 PWM
Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 wireless MCU
QN9090(T)/QN9030(T)
The PWM module supports the generation of up to 10 PWM waveforms, each with its own
prescaler, to support a range of applications.
• 1 PWM module with 10 independent outputs
• Option for 1 channel to drive up to 1 channel driving the 10 outputs simultaneously
• Programmable 10-bit prescaler for eac.h channel
• 16-bit auto-reload down counter for each channel
• 16-bit compare register for each channel (toggling point in 1 full period)
• Predictable PWM initial output state for each channel (configurable initial waveform
polarity – HIGH or LOW)
• Configurable level (HIGH or LOW) of PWM output when PWM is disabled
• Programmable overflow interrupt generation for each channel
8.10 Timers
Within the QN9090 there are several different timer blocks available. These timers are
used in different ways as outlined here.
• Counter/Timers: The two blocks are the main functional timers for the application,
running off a high speed clock and able to create interrupts from match registers.
• Watchdog Timer: slow speed timer with the ability to interrupt the processor or cause
device reset. Often used to identify when application software is locked up or taking
too long.
• Real-time clock: this block has two timers real time clock and high-resolution/wake-up
timer. The real time clock has a 1Hz clock is often run continually as a clock. The

8.10.1 Counter/Timers
There are two Counter/Timer blocks that support a range of functions such as timers or
counting events from an IO pin. The match registers allow for configurable interrupts when
the counter reaches certain values. The match events can also be indicated on device
pins.
8.10.1.1 Features
• 2 counter/timer instances, CT32B0 and CT32B1
• Each is a 32-bit counter/timer with a programmable 32-bit prescaler. Both timers
include external capture and match pin connections
• Counter or timer operation
• For each timer, up to 2 32-bit capture channels that can take a snapshot of the timer
value when an input signal transitions. A capture event may also optionally generate
an interrupt
• The timer and prescaler may be configured to be cleared on a designated capture
event. This feature permits easy pulse-width measurement by clearing the timer on
the leading edge of an input pulse and capturing the timer value on the trailing edge
• Four 32-bit match registers that allow:
– Continuous operation with optional interrupt generation on match
– Stop timer on match with optional interrupt generation
– Reset timer on match with optional interrupt generation
• For each timer with pin connections, up to 2 external outputs corresponding to match
registers with the following capabilities:
– Set LOW on match
– Set HIGH on match
– Toggle on match
– Do nothing on match
– Two match registers can be used to trigger DMA transfers.
8.10.1.2 General description
Each counter/timer is designed to count cycles of the APB bus clock or an externally
supplied clock and can optionally generate interrupts or perform other actions at specified
timer values based on four match registers. Each counter/timer also includes one capture
input to trap the timer value when an input signal transitions, optionally generating an
interrupt.
Capture inputs: The capture signal can be configured to load the capture register with
the value in the counter/timer and optionally generate an interrupt. The capture signal is
generated by one of the pins with a capture function. Each capture signal is connected to
one capture channel of the timer.
The counter/timer block can select a capture signal as a clock source instead of the APB
bus clock.
Match outputs: When a match register equals the Timer Counter (TC), the
corresponding match output can either toggle, go LOW, go HIGH, or do nothing.

Applications
• Interval timer for counting internal events
• Pulse Width Modulator via match outputs
• Pulse Width Demodulator via capture input
• Free running timer
8.10.2 Watchdog timer
The purpose of the Watchdog Timer is to reset or interrupt the microcontroller within a
programmable time if it enters an erroneous state. When enabled, a watchdog reset is
generated if the user program fails to feed (reload) the Watchdog within a predetermined
amount of time.
When a watchdog window is programmed, an early watchdog feed is also treated as a
watchdog event. This allows preventing situations where a system failure may still feed
the watchdog. For example, application code could be stuck in an interrupt service that
contains a watchdog feed. Setting the window such that this would result in an early feed
will generate a watchdog event, allowing for system recovery.
• Internally resets chip if not reloaded during the programmable time-out period
• Optional windowed operation requires reload to occur between a minimum and
maximum time-out period, both programmable
• Optional warning interrupt can be generated at a programmable time prior to
watchdog time-out
• Clock fed to the watchdog function is selectable from 32 kHz clock, 32 MHz clock and
FRO 1 MHz clock, This selected clock can be optionally pre-scaled before input to the
block.
• Programmable 24-bit timer with internal fixed pre-scaler
• Selectable time period
• “Safe” watchdog operation. Once enabled, requires a hardware reset or a watchdog
reset to be disabled
• Incorrect feed sequence causes immediate watchdog event if enabled
• The watchdog reload value can optionally be protected such that it can only be
changed after the “warning interrupt” time is reached
• Flag to indicate watchdog reset
• The watchdog timer can be configured to run in Deep-sleep mode
• Debug mode
8.10.3 Real-Time Clock (RTC)
The Real-Time Clock provides two timers that are typically used as a Real-Time clock
counter and a higher-resolution timer.

– 1 kHz clock for high-resolution RTC timing
• 32-bit, 1 Hz RTC counter and associated match register for alarm generation
• Separate 16-bit high-resolution/wake-up timer clocked at 1 kHz for 1 ms resolution
giving a maximum time-out period of over one minute.
• RTC alarm and high-resolution/wake-up timer time-out each generate independent
interrupt requests. Either time-out can wake up the part from Low-power modes
(Sleep mode, Deep-sleep mode or Power-down mode)
8.10.3.2 General description
The RTC contains two timers:
• Real time clock
The real-time clock is a 32-bit up-counter which can be cleared or initialized by
software. Once enabled, it counts continuously at a 1 Hz clock rate as long as the
device is powered up and the RTC remains enabled.
The main purpose of the RTC is to count seconds and generate an alarm interrupt to
the processor whenever the counter value equals the value programmed into the
associated 32-bit match register.
If the part is in one of the reduced-power modes (Sleep, Deep-sleep, Power-down) an
RTC alarm interrupt can also wake up the part to exit the Power mode and begin
normal operation.
• High-resolution/wake-up timer
The time interval required for many applications, including waking the part up from a
Low-power mode, will often demand a greater degree of resolution than the
one-second minimum interval afforded by the main RTC counter. For these
applications, a higher frequency secondary timer has been provided.
This secondary timer is an independent, stand-alone wake-up or general-purpose
timer for timing intervals of up to 64 seconds with approximately one millisecond of
resolution.
The high-resolution/wake-up timer is a 16-bit down counter which is clocked at a 1
kHz rate when it is enabled. Writing any non-zero value to this timer will automatically
enable the counter and launch a countdown sequence. When the counter is being
used as a wake-up timer, this write can occur just prior to entering a reduced power
mode.
When a starting count value is loaded, the high-resolution/wake-up timer will turn on,
count from the pre-loaded value down to zero, generate an interrupt and/or a wake-up
command, and then turn itself off until re-launched by a subsequent software write.
8.10.4 Low Power Wake-up Timers
Two low power wake-up timers are available on the QN9090, driven from the 32 kHz
internal clock. They may run in power-down mode when the majority of the rest of the
device is powered down, to time low-power periods or other long period timings that may
be required by the application. The wake-up timers do not run during deep power-down
and may optionally be disabled in power-down mode through software control. When a
wake-up timer expires, it typically generates an interrupt; if the device is in deep sleep or
power down mode then the interrupt may be used as an event to end the low power
mode. Features include:

• 28-bit and 41-bit down counter
• Optionally runs during power-down periods
• Clocked by 32 kHz system clock; either 32 kHz RC oscillator, or 32 kHz XTAL
oscillator
• Time-out period in excess of 1 year is possible
A wake-up timer consists of a 28-bit or 41-bit down counter clocked from the selected 32
kHz clock. An interrupt or wake-up event can be generated when the counter reaches
zero. On reaching zero, the counter will continue to count down until stopped, which
allows the latency in responding to the interrupt to be measured. If an interrupt or wake-up
event is required, the timer interrupt should be enabled before loading the count value for
the period. Once the counter value has been loaded and the counter started, the
count-down begins. The counter can be stopped at any time through software control - the
counter will remain at the value that it contained when it was stopped and no interrupt will
be generated. The status of the timers can be read to indicate if the timers are running
and/or have expired; this is useful when the timer interrupts are masked.

The main features of the radio are:
• Single ended shared RF input for receive and transmit operations
• Each power domain has its own independent LDO
• A low noise PLL serving either the receiver or the transmitter. A 2-point modulation is
used in TX
The single-ended antenna is connected to the integrated transformer. The integrated
transformer has 2 outputs, one for the receive chain one for the TX chain.
The RX chain consists in an LNA, a mixer, an IF amplifier, an anti-aliasing filter and an
ADC.
The LNA has some gain steps that are controlled by the AGC system.
The IF amplifier is the first gain stage after the mixer and provides some filtering. It has
some gain steps that are controlled by the AGC system.
The anti-aliasing filter is the main channel filter. It also provides some gain steps that are
controlled by the AGC system.
On the transmit side, the PA is built as 2 main blocks: one containing the RF pre-driver,
one containing the power amplifier. The power amplifier has its own high power LDO.
The 32 MHz crystal oscillator provides the frequency synthesizer with a reference
frequency. The synthesizer contains programmable feedback dividers, phase detector,
charge pump and internal Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). The VCO has no external
components, and includes calibration circuitry to compensate for differences in internal
component values due to process and temperature variations. The VCO is controlled by a
Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) that has an internal loop filter. A programmable charge pump is
also used to tune the loop characteristic.
The radio when enabled is automatically calibrated for optimum performance.
2 DIO pins can optionally be used to provide control signals for RF circuitry (e.g. switches
and PA) in high-power range extenders. DIOx/RFTX is asserted when the radio is in the
transmit state and similarly, DIOy/RFRX is asserted when the radio is in the receiver state.

The modem provides all the necessary demodulation functions to receive Bluetooth Low
Energy 5.0 data.
8.20.3 Bluetooth Low Energy link layer
The Link Layer supports the time-critical packet functions of the Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0
protocol. Data processing includes whitening and CRC functions. Received packets can
be checked against a whitelist. Packet transmission and reception can be scheduled in
advance. Then hardware state machines manage enabling the radio at the correct time
and interfacing to the system RAM to transfer packet data. Additionally, AES encryption
and decryption supported within the link layer.
For low power operation, a timer is able to operate in power down mode. Then the device
will wake-up at the required time to continue Bluetooth Low Energy activity.
8.20.4 Antenna diversity
Support is provided for antenna diversity, which is a technique that maximizes the
performance of an antenna system. It allows the Bluetooth Low Energy application
Software to switch between two antennas that have very low correlation between their
received signals. It is up to the Bluetooth Low Energy application SW to determine the
best selection criteria (e.g. RSSI or packet error rate) to select the most appropriate
antenna. The typical antenna’s design is achieved by spacing two antennae around 0.25
wavelengths apart or by using 2 orthogonal polarizations. The switching is controlled by
software and uses ADO (SELA) and ADE (SELB) outputs to control the external switch.
The QN9090 provides an output (ADO) on one of DIO7, DIO9 or DIO19 and optionally its
complement (ADE) on DIO6 that can be used to control an antenna switch; this enables
antenna diversity to be implemented easily (see Figure 6).

I2C interface is used to communicate to the NTAG tag. The NFC tag can be accessed via
the NFC antenna even when the device is not powered. One use of the feature is to allow
commissioning of a device before it is installed. The field detect line from the NTAG is able
to interrupt the processor in active mode and also cause wake-up from all power down
modes.

QN9090(T)/QN9030(T)
8.26.2 General description
The internal NTAG I2C-bus is offering a contactless interface to QN9090T/30T. That
passive NFC Forum compliant contactless interface can communicate with QN9090T/30T
microcontroller through a dedicated internal I2C-bus interface.
An SRAM mapped into the memory allows a fast data transfer between the NFC antenna
and the I2C-bus interface and vice versa, without the write cycle limitations of the
EEPROM memory.
The internal NTAG I2C-bus features a configurable field detection pin, which provides a
trigger to the microcontroller depending on the activities at the NFC interface.
Remark: To support the energy harvesting and power the platform through the NFC field,
an external NTAGPlus must be populated on the target board.
9. Application design-in information
9.1 QN9090 module reference designs
For customers wishing to integrate the QN9090 device directly into their system, NXP
provides a range of Module Reference Designs.
To ensure the correct performance, it is strongly recommended that where possible the
design details provided by the reference designs are used in their exact form for all end
designs; this includes component values, pad dimensions, track layouts etc. In order to
minimize all risks, it is recommended that the entire layout of the appropriate reference
module, if possible, be replicated in the end design.
For full details, see web site or Contact technical support.
9.2 Schematic diagram
The PCB schematic and layout rules detailed in this datasheet must be followed. Failure
to do so will likely result in the QN9090 failing to meet the performance specification
detailed in this data sheet and the worst case may result in the device not functioning in
the end application.
A schematic diagram of the reference module is shown in Figure 8. Details of component
values and PCB layout constraints can be found in Table 10.
The paddle should be connected directly to ground. Any pads that require connection to
ground should do so by connecting directly to the paddle.
The QN9090 will enter UART programming mode if IN System Programming Entry (PIO5)
pin 8 is low during RESET release.
The preferred communication interface is USART0 pins (PIO8/USART0_TXD pin11 and
PIO9/USART0_RXD pin12).

Fig 8. Application diagram – battery powered solution
For single-ended antennas or connectors, a balun is not required. However, an external
filtering is needed. In receiver, the RFIO pin shows a 50 impedance and external
filtering (R5, C25, L2, C24) is needed in transmission to filter efficiently harmonics. These
components are critical and must be placed close to the QN9090 pins and analog ground.
The reference PCB is designed to present an accurate match to a 50 resistive network
as well as provide a DC path to the final output stage or antenna. Users wishing to match
to other active devices such as amplifiers must design their networks to match to 50 at
the output of the QN9090.
The paddle must be connected directly to the ground. Any pads that require connection to
the ground should do so by connecting directly to the paddle.

[1] tHD;DAT is the data hold time that is measured from the falling edge of SCL; applies to data in transmission
and the acknowledge.
[2] A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300 ns for the SDA signal (with respect to the
VIH(min) of the SCL signal) to bridge the undefined region of the falling edge of SCL.
[3] The maximum tf for the SDA and SCL bus lines is specified at 300 ns. The maximum fall time for the SDA
output stage tf is specified at 250 ns. This allows series protection resistors to be connected in between the
SDA and the SCL pins and the SDA/SCL bus lines without exceeding the maximum specified tf.
[4] In Fast-mode Plus, fall time is specified the same for both output stage and bus timing. If series resistors
are used, designers should allow for this when considering bus timing.
[5] The maximum tHD;DAT could be 3.45 s and 0.9 s for Standard-mode and Fast-mode but must be less
than the maximum of tVD;DAT or tVD;ACK by a transition time. This maximum must only be met if the device
does not stretch the LOW period (tLOW) of the SCL signal. If the clock stretches the SCL, the data must be
valid by the set-up time before it releases the clock.
[6] tSU;DAT is the data set-up time that is measured with respect to the rising edge of SCL; applies to data in
transmission and the acknowledge.
[7] A Fast-mode I2C-bus device can be used in a Standard-mode I2C-bus system but the requirement tSU;DAT
= 250 ns must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the LOW
period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must output the
next data bit to the SDA line tr(max) + tSU;DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the Standard-mode
I2C-bus specification) before the SCL line is released. Also the acknowledge timing must meet this set-up
time.
[8] Valid for I2C IO cells. When I2C functionality is supported on standard IO cells this Min time is 0.

14.13 Radio transceiver
This QN9090(T)/QN9030(T) meets all the requirements of the Bluetooth Low Energy
standard over 1.9 V to 3.6 V and offers the improved RF characteristics shown in the
following table. All RF characteristics are measured single ended.
This part also meets the following regulatory body approvals, when used with NXP’s
Module Reference Designs. Compliant with FCC part 15 rules, IC Canada and ETSI ETS
300-328, refer to the QN9090 Module Reference Design package on the Wireless
Connectivity area of the NXP web site Ref. 2.
The PCB schematic and layout rules detailed in Section 9 “Application design-in
information” must be followed. Failure to do so will likely result in the
QN9090(T)/QN9030(T) failing to meet the performance specification detailed herein and
worst case may result in device not functioning in the end application.

16. Soldering of SMD packages
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account
of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 “Surface mount reflow
soldering description”.
16.1 Introduction to soldering
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both
the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is
ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and
Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not
suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high
densities that come with increased miniaturization.
16.2 Wave and reflow soldering
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from
a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:
• Through-hole components
• Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless
packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,
leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,
due to an increased probability of bridging.
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by
component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages,
packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable.
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:
• Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias
• Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation
• The moisture sensitivity level of the packages
• Package placement
• Inspection and repair
• Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering
16.3 Wave soldering
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:
• Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are
exposed to the wave
• Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities

QN9090(T)/QN9030(T)
16.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
• Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 21) than a SnPb process, thus
reducing the process window
• Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
• Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste
characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the
packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package
depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with
Table 45 and 46

Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all
times.
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow
soldering, see Figure 21.
