Bluetooth® Transmitter

  • +6dBm RF transmit power with level control from on-chip 6-bit DAC over a dynamic range >30dB
  • Class 2 and Class 3 support without the need for an external power amplifier or TX/RX switch
  • Class 1 support using external power amplifier with RF power controlled by an internal 8-bit DAC

Bluetooth receiver

  • Integrated channel filters
  • Digital demodulator for improved sensitivity and co-channel rejection
  • Real time digitised RSSI available on HCI interface
  • Fast AGC for enhanced dynamic range
  • Channel classification for AFH

Synthesiser

  • Fully integrated synthesiser requires no external VCO varactor diode, resonator or loop filter
  • Compatible with crystals between 7.5 and 40MHz (in multiples of 250kHz) or an external clock

FM radio

  • Simultaneous operation with Bluetooth
  • Support of US/Europe (87.5MHz to 108MHz) and Japanese (76MHz to 90MHz) FM band
  • Wide dynamic range AGC
  • Soft mute and stereo blend
  • Adjustment-free stereo decoder and AFC
  • Autonomous search tuning function (up/down) with programmability (threshold setting)
  • RDS demodulator
  • Audio output available over Bluetooth audio interface or dedicated audio output
  • Control of FM via Bluetooth HCI or I2C
  • Adaptive filter to suppress narrow band interference in the FM channel

Audio

  • Single-ended stereo analogue output
  • 16-bit 48kHz, digital audio bit stream output

Baseband and software

  • Internal 48kbyte RAM, allows full speed data transfer, mixed voice and data, and full piconet operation, including all medium rate packet types
  • Logic for forward error correction, header error control, access code correlation, CRC, demodulation, encryption bit stream generation, whitening and transmit pulse shaping. Supports all Bluetooth v2.0
  • + EDR features including eSCO and AFH
  • Transcoders for A-law, µ-law and linear voice from host and A-law, µ-law and CVSD voice over air

Physical interfaces

  • Synchronous serial interface up to 4Mbits/s for system debugging
  • UART interface with programmable baud rate up to 4Mbits/s with an optional bypass mode
  • USB v1.1 interface
  • I2C slave for FM
  • Two audio PCM interfaces (input and output)
  • Analogue stereo (output only)

Auxiliary features

  • Crystal oscillator with built-in digital trimming
  • Power management includes digital shutdown, and wake up commands with an integrated low power oscillator for ultra low power Park/Sniff/Hold mode
  • Clock request output to control an external clock
  • Device can run in low power modes from an external 32768Hz clock signal
  • Auto Baud Rate setting, subject to host interface in use
  • On-chip linear regulator; 1.8V output from typical 2.5-5.5V input to power I/O ring (load current 100mA). Second low dropout linear regulator producing 1.5V core voltage from 1.8V
  • Power-on-reset cell detects low supply voltage
