Overview
BlueCore™6-ROM is a single-chip radio and baseband IC for Bluetooth 2.4 GHz systems including enhanced data rates (EDR) to 3Mbits/s. With the on-chip CSR Bluetooth software stack, it provides a fully compliant Bluetooth system to v2.0 +EDR (with preliminary support for v2.1) of the specification for data and voice communications.
BlueCore6-ROM has been designed to reduce the number of external components required which ensures production costs are minimised. BlueCore6-ROM includes the AuriStream baseband CODEC, which offers significant power reduction over the CVSD based system when used at both ends of the link. 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), with preliminary support for V2.1. To improve the performance of both Bluetooth and 802.11b/g co-located systems a wide range of coexistence features are available including a variety of hardware signalling: basic activity signalling and Intel WCS activity and channel signalling.
