BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go is a single chip radio and baseband IC for Bluetooth 2.4GHz systems. It is implemented in 0.18µm CMOS technology. The device integrates contains 4Mbit of internal ROM memory. When used with CSR Bluetooth stack, it provides a fully compliant Bluetooth system to v2+EDR of the specification for data and voice.

BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go has the same pinout and electrical characteristics as BlueCore4-Flash Plug-n-Go to enable development of custom code before committing to ROM. It also has the same pinout as BlueCore2-ROM Plug-n-Go and BlueCore2-Flash Plug-n-Go to maintain compatibility.

BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go has been designed to reduce the number of external components required for minimal production costs. The 0.8mm pitch BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go can be used on either two- or four-layer PCBs. The device incorporates auto-calibration and built in self test (BIST) routines to simplify development, type approval and production test. All hardware and device firmware is fully compliant with the Bluetooth v2.0+EDR specification.
