Enovate Medical Assembly Number: A0001659

1. Device Description:

The Enovate Medical A0001659 EmTag device is a small, battery powered RF transceiver

circuit developed by Enovate Medical for the purposes of wireless BLE communications using

the proprietary BLE wireless communication standard. The EmTag provides BLE wireless

communications between itself and another BLE enabled device such as a smartphone, tablet,

BLE Beacon or other BLE-enabled device or network.

2. Component Description:

2.1: BLE SoC: nRF52832

The Nordic Semiconductor nRF52832 is built around a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4F CPU Core

running at 64 MHz with 512kB of on-chip Flash memory and 64kB of RAM. This allows it to run

the full BLE stack in addition to running the application code. The nRF52832 includes many

microprocessor features including 12-bit A/D converters, UART, SPI and I2C communications

interfaces, timers, analog comparators, a temperature sensor and General Purpose I/O. The

nRF52832 operates from a supply voltage in the 1.7V – 3.6V range. The nRF52832 IC handles all

of the Baseband functions for the BLE transmission including data formatting. Full 2.4 GHz

radio functionality is integrated into the nRF52832 including packet generation with DMA, CRC,

Whitening/Dewhitening, and full transmitter/receiver functionality. It also includes an on-chip

balun, RSSI with 1dB resolution and an internal power amplifier with support for FSK

modulation on the transmit side, and integrated digital demodulation on the receive side. Data

rates of 1 Mbit/s and 2 Mbit/s are supported. The nRF52832 IC generates its own internal

clocks and synthesizes the RF carrier signals from the 32 MHz external crystal.

2.2: 3-Axis Accelerometer: LIS2DE12

The ST Microelectronics LIS2DE12 is a low-power, 3-axis MEMS accelerometer with I2C and SPI

serial interfaces. The I2C interface is used in the EmTag device. The LIS2DE12 has user-

selectable full-scale acceleration measurement ranges of +/- 2g, +/- 4g, +/- 8g and +/-16g. The

chip can also generate user-configurable interrupt signals by detecting inertial wake-up/free-fall

events. The chip operates from a 1.71V to 3.6V voltage supply.

.3: CR2032 Coin Cell Battery The EmTag can be powered by any traditional non-rechargeable/primary 3V CR2032 coin cell battery. 3. Antenna Description: The EmTag contains a pcb trace meander antenna that is integrated into the PCB design. The antenna is impedance-matched to the RF output of the nRF52832 at 2.4 GHz with discrete impedance matching components. Maximum peak antenna gain of -3.0 dBi is calculated from measured e.i.r.p.

4. Assembly Instructions To assemble EmTag, first place the programmed P0001304 PCA into the P0001476 Emtag PCA Housing, and place the CR2032 battery into the P0001475 Battery Housing: Next, while lining up the flat edges of the two case halves, line up the snap tabs on the P0001476 PCA housing with the slots on the P0001475 Battery Housing. Snap The unit together.

At this point, the EmTag (A0001659) is fully assembled and is now operational as well. Emtag assembly is typically done at the customer site. Emtag assembly is always done by Enovate Medical personnel. 5. Disassembly Instructions To disassemble the Emtag, it is necessary to push in the locking tabs on the plastic. To do this get a fingernail between the two case halves and then simultaneously use a pen tip or similar object to push in on the plastic locking tab.
