Sufficient out-of-band blocking specification at the Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) input allows the radio to be used in close proximity to Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) cellular phone transmitters without being desensitised. The use of a digital Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) discriminator means that no discriminator tank is needed and its excellent performance in the presence of noise allows BlueCore4-External to exceed the Bluetooth requirements for co-channel and adjacent channel rejection. 8.1.1 Low Noise Amplifier The LNA can be configured to operate in single-ended or differential mode. Single-ended mode is used for Class 1 Bluetooth operation; differential mode is used for Class 2 operation. 8.1.2 Analogue to Digital Converter The Analogue to Digital Converter (ADC) is used to implement fast Automatic Gain Control (AGC). The ADC samples the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) voltage on a slot-by-slot basis. The front-end LNA gain is changed according to the measured RSSI value, keeping the first mixer input signal within a limited range. This improves the dynamic range of the receiver, improving performance in interference limited environments. 8.2 RF Transmitter 8.2.1 IQ Modulator The transmitter features a direct IQ modulator to minimise the frequency drift during a transmit timeslot, which results in a controlled modulation index. Digital baseband transmit circuitry provides the required spectral shaping. 8.2.2 Power Amplifier The internal Power Amplifier (PA) has a maximum output power of +6dBm. This allows BlueCore4-External to be used in Class 2 and Class 3 radios without an external RF PA. Support for transmit power control allows a simple implementation for Class 1 with an external RF PA. 8.3 RF Synthesiser The radio synthesiser is fully integrated onto the die with no requirement for an external Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) screening can, varactor tuning diodes, LC resonators or loop filter. The synthesiser is guaranteed to lock in sufficient time across the guaranteed temperature range to meet the Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR specification. 8.4 Clock Input and Generation The reference clock for the system is generated from a TCXO or crystal input between 8MHz and 40MHz. All internal reference clocks are generated using a phase locked loop, which is locked to the external reference frequency. 8.5 Baseband and Logic 8.5.1 Memory Management Unit The Memory Management Unit (MMU) provides a number of dynamically allocated ring buffers that hold the data that is in transit between the host and the air. The dynamic allocation of memory ensures efficient use of the available Random Access Memory (RAM) and is performed by a hardware MMU to minimise the overheads on the processor during data/voice transfers. 8.5.2 Burst Mode Controller During radio transmission the Burst Mode Controller (BMC) constructs a packet from header information previously loaded into memory-mapped registers by the software and payload data/voice taken from the appropriate ring buffer in the RAM. During radio reception, the BMC stores the packet header in memory-mapped registers and the payload data in the appropriate ring buffer in RAM. This architecture minimises the intervention required by the processor during transmission and reception. BC417143B-ds-001Pg Production Information (c) Cambridge Silicon Radio Limited 2005 Page 48 of 116 _aiEceEQJbniEea~a= Product Data Sheet For EDR, an ADC is used to digitise the IF received signal. www.DataSheet4U.com Description of Functional Blocks 8.5.3 Physical Layer Hardware Engine DSP Dedicated logic is used to perform the following: Forward error correction Header error control Cyclic redundancy check Encryption Data whitening Access code correlation Audio transcoding A-law/-law/linear voice data (from host) A-law/-law/Continuously Variable Slope Delta (CVSD) (over the air) Voice interpolation for lost packets Rate mismatches The hardware suports all optional and mandatory features of Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR including AFH and eSCO. 8.5.4 RAM (48Kbytes) 48Kbytes of on-chip RAM is provided to support the RISC MCU and is shared between the ring buffers used to hold voice/data for each active connection and the general purpose memory required by the Bluetooth stack. 8.5.5 External Memory Driver The External Memory Driver interface can be used to connect to the external Flash memory and also to the optional external RAM for memory intensive applications. 8.5.6 USB This is a full speed Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface for communicating with other compatible digital devices. BlueCore4-External acts as a USB peripheral, responding to requests from a master host controller such as a PC. 8.5.7 Synchronous Serial Interface This is a synchronous serial port interface (SPI) for interfacing with other digital devices. The SPI port can be used for system debugging. It can also be used for programming the Flash memory. 8.5.8 UART This is a standard Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) interface for communicating with other serial devices. 8.6 Microcontroller The microcontroller (MCU), interrupt controller and event timer run the Bluetooth software stack and control the radio and host interfaces. A 16-bit reduced instruction set computer (RISC) microcontroller is used for low power consumption and efficient use of memory. 8.6.1 Programmable I/O BlueCore4-External has a total of 15 (12 digital and 3 analogue) programmable I/O terminals. These are controlled by firmware running on the device. 8.6.2 802.11 Co-Existence Interface Dedicated hardware is provided to implement a variety of co-existence schemes. Channel skipping AFH, priority signalling, channel signalling and host passing of channel instructions are all supported. The features are configured in firmware. The details of some methods are proprietary (e.g., Intel WCS). Contact CSR for details.

This command set, called BlueCore Command (BCCMD), provides: Access to the chip's general-purpose PIO port The negotiated effective encryption key length on established Bluetooth links Access to the firmware's random number generator Controls to set the default and maximum transmit powers; these can help minimise interference between overlapping, fixed-location piconets Dynamic UART configuration Radio transmitter enable/disable. A simple command connects to a dedicated hardware switch that determines whether the radio can transmit. The firmware can read the voltage on a pair of the chip's external pins. This is normally used to build a battery monitor, using either VM or host code A block of BCCMD commands provides access to the chip's Persistent Store configuration database (PS). The database sets the device's Bluetooth address, Class of Device, radio (transmit class) configuration, SCO routing, LM, USB and DFU constants, etc. A UART break condition can be used in three ways: 1. Presenting a UART break condition to the chip can force the chip to perform a hardware reboot 2. Presenting a break condition at boot time can hold the chip in a low power state, preventing normal initialisation while the condition exists 3. With BCSP, the firmware can be configured to send a break to the host before sending data. (This is normally used to wake the host from a Deep Sleep state.) The DFU standard has been extended with public/private key authentication, allowing manufacturers to control the firmware that can be loaded onto their Bluetooth modules A modified version of the DFU protocol allows firmware upgrade via the chip's UART A block of radio test or BIST commands allows direct control of the chip's radio. This aids the development of modules' radio designs, and can be used to support Bluetooth qualification. Virtual Machine (VM). The firmware provides the VM environment in which to run application-specific code. Although the VM is mainly used with BlueLab and RFCOMM builds (alternative firmware builds providing L2CAP, SDP and RFCOMM), the VM can be used with this build to perform simple tasks such as flashing LEDs via the chip's PIO port. Hardware low power modes: Shallow Sleep and Deep Sleep. The chip drops into modes that significantly reduce power consumption when the software goes idle. SCO channels are normally routed via HCI (over BCSP). However, up to three SCO channels can be routed over the chip's single PCM port (at the same time as routing any remaining SCO channels over HCI). Note: Always refer to the Firmware Release Note for the specific functionality of a particular build.

All software layers, including application software, run on the internal RISC processor in a protected user software execution environment known as a Virtual Machine (VM). The user may write custom application code to run on the BlueCore VM using BlueLab SDK supplied with the BlueLab Multimedia and Casira development kits, available separately from CSR. This code will then execute alongside the main BlueCore firmware. The user is able to make calls to the BlueCore firmware for various operations. The execution environment is structured so the user application does not adversely affect the main software routines, thus ensuring that the Bluetooth stack software component does not need re-qualification when the application is changed. Using the VM and the BlueLab SDK the user is able to develop applications such as a cordless handsfree kit or other profiles without the requirement of a host controller. BlueLab is supplied with example code including a full implementation of the handsfree profile. Note: Sample applications to control PIO lines can also be written with BlueLab SDK and the VM for the HCI stack.

This code will then execute alongside the main BlueCore firmware. The user is able to make calls to the BlueCore firmware for various operations. The execution environment is structured so the user application does not adversely affect the main software routines, thus ensuring that the Bluetooth stack software component does not need re-qualification when the application is changed. Using the VM and the BlueLab Professional SDK the user is able to develop Bluetooth HID devices such as an optical mouse or keyboard. The user is able to customise features such as power management and connect/reconnect behaviour. The HID I/O component in the HID stack controls low latency data acquisition from external sensor hardware. With this component running in native code, it does not incur the overhead of the VM code interpreter. Supported external sensors include five mouse buttons, the Agilent ADNS-2030 optical sensor, quadrature scroll wheel, direct coupling to a keyboard matrix and a UART interface to custom hardware. A reference schematic for implementing a three button, optical mouse with scroll wheel is available from CSR.

BCHS is developed to work with CSR's family of BlueCore ICs. BCHS is intended for embedded products that have a host processor for running BCHS and the Bluetooth application, e.g., a mobile phone or a PDA. BCHS together with the BlueCore IC with embedded Bluetooth core stack (L2CAP, RFCOMM and SDP) is a complete Bluetooth system solution from RF to profiles. BCHS includes most of the Bluetooth intelligence and gives the user a simple API. This makes it possible to develop a Bluetooth product without in-depth Bluetooth knowledge. Example Drivers (BCSP and proxies) Bluetooth Profile Managers Example Applications The profiles are qualified which makes the qualification of the final product very easy. BCHS is delivered with source code (ANSI C). BCHS also comes with example applications in ANSI C, which makes the process of writing the application easier. 9.6 Additional Software for Other Embedded Applications When the upper layers of the Bluetooth protocol stack are run as firmware on BlueCore4-External, a UART software driver is supplied that presents the L2CAP, RFCOMM and Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) APIs to higher Bluetooth stack layers running on the host. The code is provided as C source or object code. 9.7 CSR Development Systems CSR's BlueLab Multimedia and Casira development kits are available to allow the evaluation of the BlueCore4-External hardware and software, and as toolkits for developing on-chip and host software.

BlueCore4-External supports both of the new data rates and is compliant with the Bluetooth v2.0+EDR specification. 10.1 Enhanced Data Rate Baseband www.DataSheet4U.com Data Rate Scheme Bits Per Symbol Modulation Basic Data Rate 1 GFSK EDR 2 /4 DQPSK EDR 3 8DPSK (optional) Table 10.1: Data Rate Schemes Figure 10.1: Basic Rate and Enhanced Data Rate Packet Structure 10.2 Enhanced Data Rate /4 DQPSK The 2x data rate for EDR utilises a /4-DQPSK. Each symbol represents two bits of information. Figure 10.2 shows the constellation. It is described as having two planes, each having four points. Although it would appear that there are eight possible phase states, the encoding ensures that the trajectory of the modulation between symbols is restricted to the four states in the other plane. For a given starting point, each phase change between symbols is restricted to +3/4, +/4, -/4 or -3/4 radians (+135, +45, -135 or -45). For example, the arrows shown in Figure 10.2 represents trajectory to the four possible states in the other plane.Table 10.2 shows the phase shift encoding of symbols. There are two primary advantages of utilising /4-DQPSK modulation: The scheme avoids the crossing of the origin (a + or - phase shift) and therefore minimises amplitude variations in the envelope of the transmitted signal. This in turn allows the RF power amplifiers of the transmitter to be operated closer to their compression point without introducing spectral distortions. Consequently, the DC to RF efficiency is maximised. The differential encoding also allows for the demodulation without the knowledge of an absolute value for the phase of the RF carrier. (1) The inclusion of 3x data rates is optional. BC417143B-ds-001Pg Production Information (c) Cambridge Silicon Radio Limited 2005 Page 58 of 116 _aiEceEQJbniEea~a= Product Data Sheet At the baseband level EDR utilises both the same 1.6kHz slot rate and the 1MHz symbol rate as defined for the basic data rate. Where EDR differs is that each symbol in the payload portion of a packet represents 2 or 3-bits. This is achieved using two new distinct modulation schemes. These are summarised in Table 10.1 and in Figure 10.1. Link Establishment and management are unchanged and still use GFSK for both the header and payload portions of these packets.

Each symbol in the payload portion of the packet represents three baseband bits. Although it would appear that the 8DPSK is similar to /4 DQPSK, the differential phase shifts between symbols are now permissible between any of the eight possible phase states. This reduces the separation between adjacent symbols on the constellation to /4 (45) and thereby reduces the noise and interference immunity of the modulation scheme. Nevertheless, since each symbol now represents 3 baseband bits, the actual throughput of the data is 3x when compared with the basic rate packet. Figure 10.3 illustrates the 8DPSK constellation and Table 10.3 defines the phase encoding.

On transmit their outputs are combined using a balun into the single-ended output required for the antenna. Similarly, on receive their input signals are combined internally. Both terminals present similar complex impedances that require matching networks between them and the balun. Starting from the substrate (chip side), the outputs can each be modelled as an ideal current source in parallel with a lossy resistance and a capacitor. The bond wire can be represented as series inductance. www.DataSheet4U.com Device Terminal Descriptions 11.1.2 Single-Ended Input (RX_IN) This is the single-ended RF input from the antenna. The input presents a complex impedance that requires a matching network between the terminal and the antenna. Starting from the substrate (chip) side, the input can be modelled as a lossy capacitor with the bond wire to the ball grid represented as a series inductance. The terminal is DC blocked. The DC level must not exceed (VSS_RADIO -0.3V to VDD_RADIO + 0.3V).

Before transmitting, the chip normally ramps up the power to the internal PA, then it ramps it down again afterwards. However, if a suitable external PA is used, it may be possible to ramp the power externally by driving the TX_PWR pin on the PA from AUX_DAC. TX Power tcarrier Modulation Equation 11.3: Internal Power Ramping The Persistent Store Key (PS Key) PSKEY_TX_GAINRAMP (0x1d), is used to control the delay (in units of s) between the end of the transmit power ramp and the start of modulation. In this period the carrier is transmitted, which gives the transmit circuitry time to fully settle to the correct frequency. Bits[15:8] define a delay, tcarrier, (in units of s) between the end of the transmit power ramp and the start of modulation. In this period the carrier is transmitted, which aids interoperability with some other vendor equipment which is not strictly Bluetooth compliant. 11.1.4 Control of External RF Components A PS Key TXRX_PIO_CONTROL (0x209) is used to control external RF components such as a switch, an external PA or an external LNA. PIO[0], PIO[1] and the AUX_DAC can be used for this purpose, as Table 11.1 indicates. TXRX_PIO_CONTROL Value AUX_DAC Use 0 PIO[0], PIO[1], AUX_DAC not used to control RF.

This reference may be either an external clock or from a crystal connected between XTAL_IN and XTAL_OUT. The crystal mode is described in section 11.3. 11.2.1 External Mode The external clock signal should meet the specifications in Table 11.2: Frequency(a) Duty cycle Edge Jitter (At Zero Crossing) Signal Level Min Typ Max 7.5MHz 16MHz 40MHz 20:80 50:50 80:20 - - 15ps rms 400mV pk-pk - VDD_ANA(b) (c) Table 11.2: External Clock Specifications (a) (b) (c) The frequency should be an integer multiple of 250kHz except for the CDMA/3G frequencies VDD_ANA is 1.8V nominal If the external clock is driven through a DC blocking capacitor, then maximum allowable amplitude is reduced from VDD_ANA to 800mV pk-pk. 11.2.2 XTAL_IN Impedance in External Mode The impedance of the XTAL_IN will not change significantly between operating modes, typically 10fF. When transitioning from Deep Sleep to an active state a spike of up to 1pC may be measured. For this reason it is recommended that a buffered clock input be used. 11.2.3 Clock Timing Accuracy As Figure 11.3 indicates, the 250ppm timing accuracy on the external clock is required 7ms after the assertion of the system clock request line. This is to guarantee that the firmware can maintain timing accuracy in accordance with the Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR specification. Radio activity may occur after 11ms, therefore, at this point the timing accuracy of the external clock source must be within 20ppm. Figure 11.3: TCXO Clock Accuracy BC417143B-ds-001Pg Production Information (c) Cambridge Silicon Radio Limited 2005 Page 64 of 116 _aiEceEQJbniEea~a= Product Data Sheet BlueCore4-External can be configured to accept an external reference clock from another device (such as TCXO) at XTAL_IN by connecting XTAL_OUT to ground. The external clock can be either a digital level square wave or sinusoidal, and this may be directly coupled to XTAL_IN without the need for additional components. If the peaks of the reference clock are below VSS_ANA or above VDD_ANA, it must be driven through a DC blocking capacitor (approximately 33pF) connected to XTAL_IN. A digital level reference clock gives superior noise immunity, as the high slew rate clock edges have lower voltage to phase conversion. www.DataSheet4U.com Device Terminal Descriptions 11.2.4 Clock Start-Up Delay BlueCore4-External hardware incorporates an automatic 5ms delay after the assertion of the system clock request signal before running firmware. This is suitable for most applications using an external clock source. However, there may be scenarios where the clock cannot be guaranteed to either exist or be stable after this period. Under these conditions, BlueCore4-External firmware provides a software function which will extend the system clock request signal by a period stored in PSKEY_CLOCK_STARTUP_DELAY. This value is set in milliseconds from 5-31ms. This PS Key allows the designer to optimise a system where clock latencies may be longer than 5ms while still keeping the current consumption of BlueCore4-External as low as possible. BlueCore4-External will consume about 2mA of current for the duration of PSKEY_CLOCK_STARTUP_DELAY before activating the firmware.

This is accomplished by setting the PS Key PSKEY_ANA_FREQ (0x1fe) for all frequencies with an integer multiple of 250kHz. The input frequency default setting in BlueCore4-External is 26MHz. The following CDMA/3G TCXO frequencies are also catered for: 7.68, 14.4, 15.36, 16.2, 16.8, 19.2, 19.44, 19.68, 19.8 and 38.4MHz.

See section 11.2 for the description of the external reference clock mode. 11.3.1 XTAL Mode BlueCore4-External contains a crystal driver circuit. This operates with an external crystal and capacitors to form a Pierce oscillator. gm Ct2 Ctrim XTAL_OUT XTAL_IN BlueCore Cint Ctrim Ct1 Figure 11.5: Crystal Driver Circuit Figure 11.6 shows an electrical equivalent circuit for a crystal. The crystal appears inductive near its resonant frequency. It forms a resonant circuit with its load capacitors. Figure 11.6: Crystal Equivalent Circuit The resonant frequency may be trimmed with the crystal load capacitance. BlueCore4-External contains variable internal capacitors to provide a fine trim. BC417143B-ds-001Pg Production Information (c) Cambridge Silicon Radio Limited 2005 Page 67 of 116 _aiEceEQJbniEea~a= Product Data Sheet - www.DataSheet4U.com Device Terminal Descriptions Min Typ Max 8MHz 16MHz 32MHz Initial Tolerance - 25ppm - Pullability - 20ppm/pF - Frequency Table 11.4: Crystal Specification The BlueCore4-External driver circuit is a transconductance amplifier. A voltage at XTAL_IN generates a current at XTAL_OUT. The value of transconductance is variable and may be set for optimum performance. Load Capacitance For resonance at the correct frequency the crystal should be loaded with its specified load capacitance, which is defined for the crystal. This is the total capacitance across the crystal viewed from its terminals. BlueCore4-External provides some of this load with the capacitors Ctrim and Cint. The remainder should be from the external capacitors labelled Ct1 and Ct2. Ct1 should be three times the value of Ct2 for best noise performance. This maximises the signal swing, hence, slew rate at XTAL_IN (to which all on-chip clocks are referred). Crystal load capacitance, Cl is calculated with Equation 11.4: CI = Cint + C trim C C + t1* t 2 2 C t1 + C t 2 Equation 11.4: Load Capacitance Where: Ctrim = 3.4pF nominal (mid-range setting) Cint = 1.5pF Note: Cint does not include the crystal internal self capacitance; it is the driver self capacitance.

This feature is typically used to remove initial tolerance frequency errors associated with the crystal. Frequency trim is achieved by adjusting the crystal load capacitance with on-chip trim capacitors, Ctrim. The value of Ctrim is set by a 6-bit word in the PS Key PSKEY_ANA_FTRIM (0x1f6). Its value is calculated thus: C trim = 110fF x PSKEY _ AN A _ FT R IM Equation 11.5: Trim Capacitance appear in series so each least significant bit (LSB) increment of frequency trim presents a load across the crystal of 55fF. The frequency trim is described by Equation 11.6. (FX ) = pullability x 55 x 10-3 (ppm / LSB) FX Equation 11.6: Frequency Trim Where Fx is the crystal frequency and pullability is a crystal parameter with units of ppm/pF. Total trim range is 63 times the value above. If not specified, the pullability of a crystal may be calculated from its motional capacitance with Equation 11.7. Cm (FX ) = FX* (FX ) 4(CI + C0 )2 Equation 11.7: Pullability Where: C0 = Crystal self capacitance (shunt capacitance) Cm = Crystal motional capacitance (series branch capacitance in crystal model). See Figure 11.6. Note: It is a Bluetooth requirement that the frequency is always within 20ppm. The trim range should be sufficient to pull the crystal within 5ppm of the exact frequency. This leaves a margin of 15ppm for frequency drift with ageing and temperature. A crystal with an ageing and temperature drift specification of better than 15ppm is required. BC417143B-ds-001Pg Production Information (c) Cambridge Silicon Radio Limited 2005 Page 69 of 116 _aiEceEQJbniEea~a= Product Data Sheet www.DataSheet4U.com There are two Ctrim capacitors, which are both connected to ground. When viewed from the crystal terminals, they Device Terminal Descriptions 11.3.4 Transconductance Driver Model The crystal and its load capacitors should be viewed as a transimpedance element, whereby a current applied to one terminal generates a voltage at the other. The transconductance amplifier in BlueCore4-External uses the voltage at its input, XTAL_IN, to generate a current at its output, XTAL_OUT. Therefore, the circuit will oscillate if the transconductance, transimpedance product is greater than unity. For sufficient oscillation amplitude, the product should be greater than three. The transconductance required for oscillation is defined by the relationship shown in Equation 11.8: www.DataSheet4U.com 3(C t1 + C trim )(C t 2 + C trim ) (2FX )2 Rm ((C0 + Cint )(C t1 + Ct 2 + 2Ctrim ) + (Ct1 + Ctrim )(Ct 2 + Ctrim ))2 Equation 11.8: Transconductance Required for Oscillation BlueCore4-External guarantees a transconductance value of at least 2mA/V at maximum drive level. Notes: More drive strength is required for higher frequency crystals, higher loss crystals (larger Rm) or higher capacitance loading. Optimum drive level is attained when the level at XTAL_IN is approximately 1V pk-pk. The drive level is determined by the crystal driver transconductance, by setting the PS Key PSKEY_XTAL_LVL (0x241). 11.3.5 Negative Resistance Model An alternative representation of the crystal and its load capacitors is a frequency dependent resistive element. The driver amplifier may be considered as a circuit that provides negative resistance. For oscillation, the value of the negative resistance must be greater than that of the crystal circuit equivalent resistance. Although the BlueCore4-External crystal driver circuit is based on a transimpedance amplifier, an equivalent negative resistance may be calculated for it with the following formula in Equation 11.9: Rneg > 3(C t1 + Ctrim )(C t 2 + C trim ) gm (2FX ) (C0 + Cint )((C t1 + C t 2 + 2C trim ) + (C t1 + C trim )(C t 2 + C trim ))2 2 Equation 11.9: Equivalent Negative Resistance This formula shows the negative resistance of the BlueCore4-External driver as a function of its drive strength. The value of the driver negative resistance may be easily measured by placing an additional resistance in series with the crystal. The maximum value of this resistor (oscillation occurs) is the equivalent negative resistance of the oscillator.

This off chip storage is used to store BlueCore4-External settings and program code. Flash is the storage mechanism typically used by BlueCore4-External modules, however external masked ROM may also be used if the host takes over responsibility for storing configuration data. The external memory port consists of 16 bi-directional data lines, D[15:0]; 19 output address lines, A[18:0] and three active low output control signals (WEB, CEB, REB). WEB is asserted when data is written to external memory. REB is asserted when data is read from external memory and the chip select line. CSB is asserted when any data transfer (read or write) is required. All of the external memory port connections are implemented using CMOS technology and use standard 0V and VDD_MEM (1.8-3.6V) signalling levels.

When BlueCore4-External is connected to another digital device, UART_RX and UART_TX transfer data between the two devices. The remaining two signals, UART_CTS and UART_RTS, can be used to implement RS232 hardware flow control where both are active low indicators. All UART connections are implemented using CMOS technology and have signalling levels of 0V and VDD_USB. UART configuration parameters, such as baud rate and packet format, are set using BlueCore4-External software. Note: In order to communicate with the UART at its maximum data rate using a standard PC, an accelerated serial port adapter card is required for the PC.

A break is identified by a continuous logic low (0V) on the UART_RX terminal, as shown in Figure 11.13. If tBRK is longer than the value, defined by the PS Key PSKEY_HOST_IO_UART_RESET_TIMEOUT, (0x1a4), a reset will occur. This feature allows a host to initialise the system to a known state. Also, BlueCore4-External can emit a break character that may be used to wake the host. Note: The DFU boot loader must be loaded into the Flash device before the UART or USB interfaces can be used.

This will allow the user to daisy chain devices onto the physical UART bus. The constraint on this method is that any devices connected to this bus must tri-state when BlueCore4-External reset is de-asserted and the firmware begins to run. 11.5.3 UART Bypass Mode Alternatively, for devices that do not tri-state the UART bus, the UART bypass mode on BlueCore4-External can be used. The default state of BlueCore4-External after reset is de-asserted; this is for the host UART bus to be connected to the BlueCore4-External UART, thereby allowing communication to BlueCore4-External via the UART. All UART bypass mode connections are implemented using CMOS technology and have signalling levels of 0V and VDD_PADS.(1) In order to apply the UART bypass mode, a BCCMD command will be issued to BlueCore4-External. Upon this issue, it will switch the bypass to PIO[7:4] as Figure 11.14 indicates. Once the bypass mode has been invoked, BlueCore4-External will enter the Deep Sleep state indefinitely. In order to re-establish communication with BlueCore4-External, the chip must be reset so that the default configuration takes effect. It is important for the host to ensure a clean Bluetooth disconnection of any active links before the bypass mode is invoked. Therefore, it is not possible to have active Bluetooth links while operating the bypass mode. 11.5.4 Current Consumption in UART Bypass Mode The current consumption for a device in UART bypass mode is equal to the values quoted for a device in standby mode. (1) The range of the signalling level for the standard UART described in section 11.5 and the UART bypass may differ between CSR BlueCore devices, as the power supply configurations are chip dependent. For BlueCore4-External, the standard UART is supplied by VDD_USB, so has signalling levels of 0V and VDD_USB. Whereas in the UART bypass mode, the signals appear on PIO[4:7] which are supplied by VDD_PADS, therefore the signalling levels are 0V and VDD_PADS.

No external USB transceiver is required. The device operates as a USB peripheral, responding to requests from a master host controller such as a PC. Both the OHCI and the UHCI standards are supported. The set of USB endpoints implemented can behave as specified in the USB section of the Bluetooth specification v2.0+EDR or alternatively can appear as a set of endpoints appropriate to USB audio devices such as speakers. As USB is a master/slave oriented system (in common with other USB peripherals), BlueCore4-External only supports USB Slave operation. 11.6.1 USB Data Connections characteristic impedance of the USB cable, resistors must be placed in series with USB_DP/USB_DN and the cable. 11.6.2 USB Pull-Up Resistor BlueCore4-External features an internal USB pull-up resistor. This pulls the USB_DP pin weakly high when BlueCore4-External is ready to enumerate. It signals to the PC that it is a full speed (12Mbit/s) USB device. The USB internal pull-up is implemented as a current source, and is compliant with section 7.1.5 of the USB specification v1.2. The internal pull-up pulls USB_DP high to at least 2.8V when loaded with a 15k 5% pull-down resistor (in the hub/host) when VDD_PADS=3.1V. This presents a Thevenin resistance to the host of at least 900. Alternatively, an external 1.5k pull-up resistor can be placed between a PIO line and D+ on the USB cable. The firmware must be alerted to which mode is used by setting PS Key PSKEY_USB_PIO_PULLUP appropriately. The default setting uses the internal pull-up resistor. 11.6.3 Power Supply The USB specification dictates that the minimum output high voltage for USB data lines is 2.8V. To safely meet the USB specification, the voltage on the VDD_USB supply terminals must be an absolute minimum of 3.1V. CSR recommends 3.3V for optimal USB signal quality. BC417143B-ds-001Pg Production Information (c) Cambridge Silicon Radio Limited 2005 Page 81 of 116 _aiEceEQJbniEea~a= Product Data Sheet The USB data lines emerge as pins USB_DP and USB_DN. These terminals are connected to the internal USB I/O www.DataSheet4U.com buffers of the BlueCore4-External, therefore, have a low output impedance. To match the connection to the Device Terminal Descriptions 11.6.4 Self-Powered Mode In self-powered mode, the circuit is powered from its own power supply and not from the VBUS (5V) line of the USB cable. It draws only a small leakage current (below 0.5mA) from VBUS on the USB cable. This is the easier mode for which to design, as the design is not limited by the power that can be drawn from the USB hub or root port. However, it requires that VBUS be connected to BlueCore4-External via a resistor network (Rvb1 and Rvb2), so BlueCore4-External can detect when VBUS is powered up. BlueCore4-External will not pull USB_DP high when VBUS is off. www.DataSheet4U.com BlueCore PIO USB_DP 1.5K 5% Rs D+ Rs USB_DN D- Rvb1 USB_ON VBUS Rvb2 GND Figure 11.15: USB Connections for Self-Powered Mode The terminal marked USB_ON can be any free PIO pin.

A 1.5K 5% pull-up resistor between USB_DP and the selected PIO line should be fitted to the design. Failure to fit this resistor may result in the design failing to be USB compliant in self-powered mode. The internal pull-up in BlueCore is only suitable for bus-powered USB devices, e.g., dongles. Device Terminal Descriptions 11.6.5 Bus-Powered Mode In bus-powered mode, the application circuit draws its current from the 5V VBUS supply on the USB cable. BlueCore4-External negotiates with the PC during the USB enumeration stage about how much current it is allowed to consume. For Class 2 Bluetooth applications, CSR recommends that the regulator used to derive 3.3V from VBUS is rated at 100mA average current and should be able to handle peaks of 120mA without foldback or limiting. In bus-powered mode, BlueCore4-External requests 100mA during enumeration. For Class 1 Bluetooth applications, the USB power descriptor should be altered to reflect the amount of power required. This is accomplished by setting the PS Key PSKEY_USB_MAX_POWER (0x2c6). This is higher than for a Class 2 application due to the extra current drawn by the Transmit RF PA. and supply decoupling capacitors) is limited by the USB specification. See USB Specification v1.1, section 7.2.4.1. Some applications may require soft start circuitry to limit inrush current if more than 10F is present between VBUS and GND. The 5V VBUS line emerging from a PC is often electrically noisy. As well as regulation down to 3.3V and 1.8V, applications should include careful filtering of the 5V line to attenuate noise that is above the voltage regulator bandwidth. Excessive noise on the 1.8V supply to the analogue supply pins of BlueCore4-External will result in reduced receive sensitivity and a distorted RF transmit signal.

The inrush current (when charging reservoir Device Terminal Descriptions 11.6.6 Suspend Current All USB devices must permit the USB controller to place them in a USB suspend mode. While in USB Suspend, bus-powered devices must not draw more than 0.5mA from USB VBUS (self-powered devices may draw more than 0.5mA from their own supply). This current draw requirement prevents operation of the radio by bus-powered devices during USB Suspend. The voltage regulator circuit itself should draw only a small quiescent current (typically less than 100A) to ensure adherence to the suspend current requirement of the USB specification. This is not normally a problem with modern regulators. Ensure that external LEDs and/or amplifiers can be turned off by BlueCore4-External. The entire circuit must be able to enter the suspend mode. Refer to separate CSR documentation for more details on USB Suspend. www.DataSheet4U.com BlueCore4-External can provide out-of-band signalling to a host controller by using the control lines called USB_DETACH and USB_WAKE_UP. These are outside the USB specification (no wires exist for them inside the USB cable), but can be useful when embedding BlueCore4-External into a circuit where no external USB is visible to the user. Both control lines are shared with PIO pins and can be assigned to any PIO pin by setting the PS Keys PSKEY_USB_PIO_DETACH and PSKEY_USB_PIO_WAKEUP to the selected PIO number. USB_DETACH is an input which, when asserted high, causes BlueCore4-External to put USB_DN and USB_DP in a high impedance state and turns off the pull-up resistor on DP. This detaches the device from the bus and is logically equivalent to unplugging the device. When USB_DETACH is taken low, BlueCore4-External will connect back to USB and await enumeration by the USB host. USB_WAKE_UP is an active high output (used only when USB_DETACH is active) to wake up the host and allow USB communication to recommence. It replaces the function of the software USB WAKE_UP message (which runs over the USB cable) and cannot be sent while BlueCore4-External is effectively disconnected from the bus. Figure 11.17: USB_DETACH and USB_WAKE_UP Signal 11.6.8 USB Driver A USB Bluetooth device driver is required to provide a software interface between BlueCore4-External and Bluetooth software running on the host computer.

The specification contains valuable information on aspects such as PCB track impedance, supply inrush current and product labelling. Although BlueCore4-External meets the USB specification, CSR cannot guarantee that an application circuit designed around the chip is USB compliant. The choice of application circuit, component choice and PCB layout all affect USB signal quality and electrical characteristics. The information in this document is intended as a guide and should be read in association with the USB specification, with particular attention being given to Chapter 7. Independent USB qualification must be sought before an application is deemed USB compliant and can bear the USB logo. Such qualification can be obtained from a USB plugfest or from an independent USB test house. 11.6.10 USB 2.0 Compatibility BlueCore4-External is compatible with USB v2.0 host controllers; under these circumstances the two ends agree the mutually acceptable rate of 12Mbits/s according to the USB v2.0 specification.

This section details the considerations required when interfacing to BlueCore4-External via the four dedicated serial peripheral interface terminals. Data may be written or read one word at a time or the auto increment feature may be used to access blocks. 11.7.1 Instruction Cycle The BlueCore4-External is the slave and receives commands on SPI_MOSI and outputs data on SPI_MISO. Table 11.13 shows the instruction cycle for an SPI transaction. Reset the SPI interface Hold SPI_CSB high for two SPI_CLK cycles 2 Write the command word Take SPI_CSB low and clock in the 8 bit command 3 Write the address Clock in the 16-bit address word 4 Write or read data words Clock in or out 16-bit data word(s) 5 Termination Take SPI_CSB high Table 11.13: Instruction Cycle for an SPI Transaction With the exception of reset, SPI_CSB must be held low during the transaction. Data on SPI_MOSI is clocked into the BlueCore4-External on the rising edge of the clock line SPI_CLK. When reading, BlueCore4-External will reply to the master on SPI_MISO with the data changing on the falling edge of the SPI_CLK. The master provides the clock on SPI_CLK. The transaction is teminated by taking SPI_CSB high. Sending a command word and the address of a register for every time it is to be read or written is a significant overhead, especially when large amounts of data are to be transferred. To overcome this BlueCore4-External offers increased data transfer efficiency via an auto increment operation. To invoke auto increment, SPI_CSB is kept low, which auto increments the address, while providing an extra 16 clock cycles for each extra word to be written or read. BC417143B-ds-001Pg Production Information (c) Cambridge Silicon Radio Limited 2005 Page 86 of 116 _aiEceEQJbniEea~a= Product Data Sheet www.DataSheet4U.com 1 Device Terminal Descriptions 11.7.2 Writing to BlueCore4-External To write to BlueCore4-External, the 8-bit write command (00000010) is sent first (C[7:0]) followed by a 16-bit address (A[15:0]). The next 16-bits (D[15:0]) clocked in on SPI_MOSI are written to the location set by the address (A). Thereafter for each subsequent 16-bits clocked in, the address (A) is incremented and the data written to consecutive locations until the transaction terminates when SPI_CSB is taken high. Figure 11.18: Write Operation 11.7.3 Reading from BlueCore4-External Reading from BlueCore4-External is similar to writing to it. An 8-bit read command (00000011) is sent first (C[7:0]), followed by the address of the location to be read (A[15:0]). BlueCore4-External then outputs on SPI_MISO a check word during T[15:0] followed by the 16-bit contents of the addressed location during bits D[15:0]. The check word is composed of {command, address [15:8]}. The check word may be used to confirm a read operation to a memory location. This overcomes the problems encountered with typical serial peripheral interface slaves, whereby it is impossible to determine whether the data returned by a read operation is valid data or the result of the slave device not responding. If SPI_CSB is kept low, data from consecutive locations is read out on SPI_MISO for each subsequent 16 clocks, until the transaction terminates when SPI_CSB is taken high. Figure 11.19: Read Operation 11.7.4 Multi-Slave Operation BlueCore4-External should not be connected in a multi-slave arrangement by simple parallel connection of slave MISO lines. When BlueCore4-External is deselected (SPI_CSB = 1), the SPI_MISO line does not float. Instead, BlueCore4-External outputs 0 if the processor is running or 1 if it is stopped.

Through its PCM interface, BlueCore4-External has hardware support for continual transmission and reception of PCM data, thus reducing processor overhead for wireless headset applications. BlueCore4-External offers a bi-directional digital audio interface that routes directly into the baseband layer of the on-chip firmware. It does not pass through the HCI protocol layer. Hardware on BlueCore4-External allows the data to be sent to and received from a SCO connection. (1) Up to three SCO connections can be supported by the PCM interface at any one time. It supports 13-bit or 16-bit linear, 8-bit -law or A-law companded sample formats at 8ksamples/s and can receive and transmit on any selection of three of the first four slots following PCM_SYNC. The PCM configuration options are enabled by setting the PS Key PS KEY_PCM_CONFIG32 (0x1b3).

The first is generating these signals by Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) from BlueCore4-External internal 4MHz clock (which is used in BlueCore2-External). Using this mode limits PCM_CLK to 128, 256 or 512kHz and PCM_SYNC to 8kHz. The second is generating PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC by DDS from an internal 48MHz clock (which allows a greater range of frequencies to be generated with low jitter but consumes more power). This second method is selected by setting bit 48M_PCM_CLK_GEN_EN in PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32. When in this mode and with long frame sync, the length of PCM_SYNC can be either 8 or 16 cycles of PCM_CLK, determined by LONG_LENGTH_SYNC_EN in PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32. The Equation 11.11 describes PCM_CLK frequency when being generated using the internal 48MHz clock: f= CNT _ RATE x 24MHz CNT _ LIMIT Equation 11.11: PCM_CLK Frequency When Being Generated Using the Internal 48MHz Clock The frequency of PCM_SYNC relative to PCM_CLK can be set using Equation 11.12: f= PCM _ CLK SYNC _ LIMIT x 8 Equation 11.12: PCM_SYNC Frequency Relative to PCM_CLK CNT_RATE, CNT_LIMIT and SYNC_LIMIT are set using PSKEY_PCM_LOW_JITTER_CONFIG. As an example, to generate PCM_CLK at 512kHz with PCM_SYNC at 8kHz, set PSKEY_PCM_LOW_JITTER_CONFIG to 0x08080177.

The default for PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32 is 0x00800000, i.e., first slot following sync is active, 13-bit linear voice format, long frame sync and interface master generating 256kHz PCM_CLK from 4MHz internal clock with no tri-state of PCM_OUT. Name - 0 SLAVE_MODE_EN 1 SHORT_SYNC_EN 2 - 3 SIGN_EXTEND_EN 4 Description Set to 0 0 = master mode with internal generation of PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC. 1 = slave mode requiring externally generated PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC. 0 = long frame sync (rising edge indicates start of frame). 1 = short frame sync (falling edge indicates start of frame). Set to 0. 0 = padding of 8 or 13-bit voice sample into a 16-bit slot by inserting extra LSBs. When padding is selected with 13-bit voice sample, the 3 padding bits are the audio gain setting; with 8-bit sample the 8 padding bits are zeroes. 1 = sign-extension. LSB_FIRST_EN 5 0 = MSB first of transmit and receive voice samples. 1 = LSB first of transmit and receive voice samples. 0 = drive PCM_OUT continuously. TX_TRISTATE_EN TX_TRISTATE_RISING_EDGE_EN 6 7 1 = tri-state PCM_OUT immediately after falling edge of PCM_CLK in the last bit of an active slot, assuming the next slot is not active. 0 = tri-state PCM_OUT immediately after falling edge of PCM_CLK in last bit of an active slot, assuming the next slot is also not active. 1 = tri-state PCM_OUT after rising edge of PCM_CLK. 0 = enable PCM_SYNC output when master. SYNC_SUPPRESS_EN 8 1 = suppress PCM_SYNC whilst keeping PCM_CLK running. Some CODECS utilise this to enter a low power state. GCI_MODE_EN 9 1 = enable GCI mode MUTE_EN 10 1 = force PCM_OUT to 0 48M_PCM_CLK_GEN_EN 11 0 = set PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC generation via DDS from internal 4 MHz clock. 1 = set PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC generation via DDS from internal 48 MHz clock. 0 = set PCM_SYNC length to 8 PCM_CLK cycles. LONG_LENGTH_SYNC_EN 12 1 = set length to 16 PCM_CLK cycles.

All PIO lines are configured as inputs with weak pull-downs at reset. PIO[0] and PIO[1] are normally dedicated to RXEN and TXEN respectively, but they are available for general use. Any of the PIO lines can be configured as interrupt request lines or as wake-up lines from sleep modes. PIO[6] or PIO[2] can be configured as a request line for an external clock source. This is useful when the clock to BlueCore4-External is provided from a system application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). Using PSKEY_CLOCK_REQUEST_ENABLE (0x246), this terminal can be configured to be low when BlueCore4-External is in Deep Sleep and high when a clock is required. The clock must be supplied within 4ms of the rising edge of PIO[6] or PIO[2] to avoid losing timing accuracy in certain Bluetooth operating modes. access internal circuitry and control signals. One pin is allocated to decoupling for the on-chip band gap reference voltage, the other two may be configured to provide additional functionality. Auxiliary functions available via these pins include an 8-bit ADC and an 8-bit DAC. Typically the ADC is used for battery voltage measurement. Signals selectable at these pins include the band gap reference voltage and a variety of clock signals: 48, 24, 16, 8MHz and the XTAL clock frequency. When used with analogue signals, the voltage range is constrained by the analogue supply voltage (1.8V). When configured to drive out digital level signals (e.g., clocks), the output voltage level is determined by VDD_MEM (1.8V). 11.9.1 PIO Defaults for BlueCore4-External CSR cannot guarantee that these terminal functions remain the same. Refer to the software release note for the implementation of these PIO lines, as they are firmware build-specific.

These are used to Device Terminal Descriptions 11.10 I2C Interface PIO[8:6] can be used to form a master I2C interface. The interface is formed using software to drive these lines. Therefore, it is suited only to relatively slow functions such as driving a dot matrix liquid crystal display (LCD), keyboard scanner or EEPROM. Notes: PIO lines need to be pulled-up through 2.2k resistors. PIO[7:6] dual functions, UART bypass and EEPROM support, therefore, devices using an EEPROM cannot support UART bypass mode. www.DataSheet4U.com +1.8V 10nF 2.2K 2.2K 2.2K U2 8 PIO[8] PIO[6] PIO[7] 7 6 5 VCC A0 WP A1 SCL A2 SDA GND 1 2 3 4 Serial EEPROM (AT24C16A) Figure 11.31: Example EEPROM Connection BC417143B-ds-001Pg Production Information (c) Cambridge Silicon Radio Limited 2005 Page 101 of 116 _aiEceEQJbniEea~a= Product Data Sheet For connection to EEPROMs, refer to CSR documentation on I2C EEPROMS for use with BlueCore. This provides information on the type of devices currently supported. Device Terminal Descriptions 11.11 TCXO Enable OR Function An OR function exists for clock enable signals from a host controller and BlueCore4-External where either device can turn on the clock without having to wake up the other device. PIO[3] can be used as the host clock enables input and PIO[2] can be used as the OR output with the TCXO enable signal from BlueCore4-External. VDD GSM System TCXO Enable CLK REQ OUT BlueCore System CLK REQ IN/ PIO[3] CLK IN CLK REQ OUT/ PIO[2] Figure 11.32: Example TXCO Enable OR Function On reset and up to the time the PIO has been configured, PIO[2] will be tri-state. Therefore, the developer must ensure that the circuitry connected to this pin is pulled via a 470k resistor to the appropriate power rail. This ensures that the TCXO is oscillating at start up.

The RESETB pin is an active low reset and is internally filtered using the internal low frequency clock oscillator. A reset will be performed between 1.5 and 4.0ms following RESETB being active. It is recommended that RESETB be applied for a period greater than 5ms. The power on reset occurs when the VDD_CORE supply falls below typically 1.5V and is released when VDD_CORE rises above typically 1.6V. www.DataSheet4U.com Following a reset, BlueCore4-External assumes the maximum XTAL_IN frequency, which ensures that the internal clocks run at a safe (low) frequency until BlueCore4-External is configured for the actual XTAL_IN frequency. If no clock is present at XTAL_IN, the oscillator in BlueCore4-External free runs, again at a safe frequency. 11.12.1 Pin States on Reset Table 11.18 shows the pin states of BlueCore4-External on reset.

The PIOs have weak pull-downs. Device Terminal Descriptions 11.12.2 Status after Reset The chip status after a reset is as follows: Warm Reset: Baud rate and RAM data remain available Cold Reset(1) : Baud rate and RAM data not available _aiEceEQJbniEea~a= Product Data Sheet www.DataSheet4U.com (1) A Cold Reset is either Power cycle, system reset (firmware fault code) or Reset signal.

BC417143B-ds-001Pg Production Information (c) Cambridge Silicon Radio Limited 2005 Page 104 of 116 Device Terminal Descriptions 11.13 Power Supply 11.13.1 Voltage Regulator An on-chip linear voltage regulator can be used to power the 1.8V dependent supplies. It is advised that a smoothing circuit using a 2.2F low ESR capacitor and 2.2 resistor be placed on the output VDD_ANA adjacent to VREG_IN. The regulator is switched into a low power mode when the device is sent into Deep Sleep mode. When the on-chip regulator is not required VDD_ANA is a 1.8V input and VREG_IN must be either open circuit or tied to VDD_ANA. 11.13.2 Sequencing 11.13.3 Sensitivity to Disturbances CSR recommends if supplying BlueCore4-External from an external voltage source that VDD_LO, VDD_ANA and VDD_RADIO should have less than 10mV rms noise levels between 0 to 10MHz. In addition, avoid single tone frequencies. CSR recommends a simple RC filter for VDD_CORE, as this reduces transients put back onto the power supply rails. The remaining supplies VDD_MEM, VDD_PIO, VDD_PADS and VDD_USB can be connected together with the VREG_IN to the 3.3V supply and simply decoupled as shown in Figure 12.1. The transient response of the regulator is also important. At the start of a packet, power consumption will jump to high levels. See the average current consumption section. The regulator should have a response time of 20s or less; it is essential that the power rail recovers quickly. BC417143B-ds-001Pg Production Information (c) Cambridge Silicon Radio Limited 2005 Page 105 of 116 _aiEceEQJbniEea~a= Product Data Sheet It is recommended that VDD_CORE, VDD_RADIO, VDD_LO and VDD_ANA be powered at the same time. The order of powering supplies for VDD_CORE, VDD_PIO, VDD_PADS and VDD_USB is not important. However, if www.DataSheet4U.com VDD_CORE is not present, all inputs have a weak pull-down irrespective of the reset state.
