Overview
BlueCore5-FM is a single chip radio and baseband IC for Bluetooth 2.4GHz systems including enhanced data rates (EDR) to 3Mbits/s. It includes an integrated FM receiver with stereo audio output stage and an RDS demodulator. With the on-chip CSR Bluetooth software stack, it provides a fully compliant Bluetooth system to v2.0+EDR of the specification for data and voice communications.

BlueCore5-FM BGA has been designed to reduce the number of external components required which ensures production costs are minimised. 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 (all mandatory and optional features). To improve the performance of both Bluetooth and 802.11b/g co-located systems a wide range of co-existence features are available including a variety of hardware signalling: basic activity signalling and Intel WCS activity and channel signalling.
