3 Detailed Description
3.1
Host Interfaces
3.1.1 Device Host Interface Options
The following table summarizes the Host Controller interface options. All interfaces operate independently.
Table 3-1 Host Controller Interface options
WLAN
Shared HCI for
BT
BT Voice/Audio
WLAN HS SDIO
Over UART
BT PCM
The Device incorporates UART module dedicated to the BT shared-transport Host Controller Interface (HCI)
transport layer. The HCI interface is used to transport commands, events, and ACL between the Bluetooth
device and its host using HCI data packets.
This acts as a shared transport for BT/BLE functional blocks.
3.1.2 WLAN SDIO Transport Layer
The SDIO is the host interface for WLAN. The interface between the host and the D7020 uses an SDIO
interface and supports a maximum clock rate of 50MHz.
The Device SDIO also supports the following features of the SDIO V3 specification:
 4 bit data bus
 Synchronous and Asynchronous In-Band-Interrupt
 Default and High-Speed (50MHz) timing
 Sleep/wake commands
SDIO timing specifications are given in specification section at end of document.
3.1.3 HCI UART Shared Transport Layers for BT
The HCI UART supports most baud rates (including all PC rates) for all fast clock frequencies - up to maximum
of 4 Mbps. After power up the baud rate is set for 115.2 kbps, irrespective of fast clock frequency. The baud rate
can then be changed by using a VS command. The Device responds with a Command Complete Event (still at
115.2 kbps), after which the baud rate change takes place.
HCI hardware includes the following features:
 Receiver detection of break, idle, framing, FIFO overflow, and parity error conditions.
 Transmitter underflow detection.
 CTS/RTS hardware flow control.
 4 wire (H4)

3.1.3.1 UART 4 Wire Interface - H4
The interface includes four signals: TXD, RXD, CTS and RTS. Flow control between the host and the Device is
byte-wise by hardware.
Flow control is obtained by the following:
Figure 3-1 HCI UART Connection
When the RX buffer of the Device passes the “flow control” threshold, it will set the HCI_RTS signal high to stop
transmission from the host.
When the CTS signal is set high, the Device will stop its transmission on the interface. In case CTS is set high in
the middle of transmitting a byte, the Device will finish transmitting the byte and stop the transmission.
3.1.3.2 BT function Firmware Low Power Mode Protocols
The Device includes a mechanism that handles the transition between operating mode and deep sleep lowpower mode. The protocol is done via the UART and is known as eHCILL (enhanced HCI Low Level) power
management protocol.
This protocol is backward compatible with the TI BT HCILL Protocol, so a Host that implements the HCILL does
not need to change anything in order to work with the Device. The "Enhanced" portion of the HCILL introduces
changes that allow a simpler host implementation of this protocol. See SWRA288 eHCILL Four-Wire Power
Management Protocol.
3.1.4
BT Audio CODEC Interface
3.1.4.1 Overview
The CODEC interface is a fully dedicated programmable serial port, supporting the following:
 Two voice channels
 Master / slave modes
 Coding schemes: u-Law, A-Law, Linear, Transparent and SBC (for Assisted WBS operation)
 Long & short frames
 Different data sizes, order and positions
 Enlarged interface options to support a wider variety of Codecs
3.1.4.2 PCM Hardware Interface
The PCM interface is one implementation of the codec interface. It contains the following four lines:
 Clock--configurable direction (input or output)
 Frame Sync--configurable direction (input or output)
 Data In--Input
 Data Out--Output/Tri state
The Device can be either the master of the interface where it generates the clock and the frame-sync signals, or
slave where it receives these two signals. The PCM interface is fully configured by means of a VS command.
For slave mode, clock input frequencies between 64KHz and 12 MHz are supported..
For master mode, the Device can generate any clock frequency between 64 kHz and 6 MHz.

3.1.4.3
PCM Data Format
The data format is fully configurable:
 The data length can be from 8 to 320 bits, in 1 bit increments, when working with two channels, or up to
640 bits when using 1 channel. The data length can be set independently for each channel.
 The data position within a frame is also configurable with 1-clock (bit) resolution, and can be set
independently (relative to the edge of the Frame Sync signal) for each channel.
 The Data_IN and Data_OUT bit order can be configured independently. For example; Data_IN can start
with MSB while Data_OUT starts with LSB. Each channel is separately configurable. The inverse bit order
(i.e. LSB first) is supported only for sample sizes up to 24 bits.
 The data in and data out size do not necessarily have to be the same length.

The Data_OUT line is configured as a „high-Z‟ output between data words. Data_OUT can also be set for
permanent high-Z, irrespective of data out. This allows the Device to be a bus slave in a multi-slave PCM
environment. At power up, Data_OUT is configured as high-Z.
3.1.4.4 PCM Frame-Idle Period
The CODEC interface has the capability for frame-idle periods, where the PCM clock can “take a break”
and become „0‟ at the end of the PCM frame, after all data has been transferred.
The Device supports frame-idle periods both as master and slave of the PCM bus.
When Device is the master of the interface, the frame-idle period is configurable. There are 2
configurable parameters:
 Clk_Idle_Start - Indicates the number of PCM clock cycles from the beginning of the frame till the beginning
of the idle period. After Clk_Idle_Start clock cycles, the clock becomes „0‟.
 Clk_Idle_End - Indicates the time from the beginning of the frame till the end of the idle period. This time is
given in multiples of PCM clock periods.
The delta between Clk_Idle_Start and Clk_Idle_End is the clock idle period.
e.g. For PCM clock rate = 1 MHz, frame sync period = 10 kHz, Clk_Idle_Start = 60, Clk_Idle_End = 90.
Between each two-frame sync there are 70 clock cycles (instead of 100). The clock idle period starts 60
clock cycles after the beginning of the frame and lasts 90-60=30 clock cycles. This means that the idle
period ends 100-90=10 clock cycles before the end of the frame. The data transmission must end prior to
the beginning of the idle period.

3.1.5 Two Channel PCM Bus Example
In the following figure, a 2-channel PCM bus is shown where the two channels have different word sizes
and arbitrary positions in the bus‟ frame. (FT stands for Frame Timer).
Figure 3-2 2 Channels PCM Bus Timing
3.1.6 PCM Audio Encoding
The Device CODEC interface can use one of four audio coding patterns:
 A-Law (8-bit)
 µ-Law (8-bit)
 Linear (8 or 16-bit)
 SBC (16-bit)
Two BT voice channels are not supported when SBC encoding is selected.
3.1.6.1 BT PCM Clock Mismatch Handling
In BT RX, the Device receives RF voice packets and writes these to the CODEC I/F. If the Device receives data
faster than the CODEC I/F output allows, an overflow occurs. In this case, the Device BT function has 2
possible behavior modes: “allow overflow” and “don‟t allow overflow”.
 If overflow is allowed, the Device BT function continues receiving data and overwrites any data not yet sent
to the CODEC.
 If overflow is not allowed, RF voice packets received when buffer is full, are discarded.
When the Bluetooth functional block is master on the PCM and slave on the Bluetooth network, the Bluetooth
functional block can measure the drift between the two clocks and apply compensation to the PCM clock in
order to avoid underrun and overrun scenarios
3.1.6.2 BT Inter-IC Sound (BT I2S over PCM bus)
The Device can be configured as an Inter-IC Sound (I2S) serial interface to a I2S CODEC device. In this mode,
the Device audio CODEC interface is configured as a bi-directional, full duplex interface, with two time slots per
frame: Time slot 0 is used for the left channel audio data and time slot 1 for the right channel audio data. Each
time slot is configurable up to 40 serial clock cycles in length and the frame is configurable up to 80 serial clock
cycles in length.

Bluetooth Functional Block
3.4.1 BT Digital Radio Processor (DRP)
The Device uses 8th-generation TI Bluetooth technology, with new features and improved radio performance.
3.4.2 BT Receiver
The receiver uses near-zero-IF architecture to convert the RF signal to baseband data. Received signal from
the external antenna is input to an internal RF switch and a differential LNA (low-noise amplifier).
This signal is then passed to a mixer which down-converts the signal to an IF, followed by a filter and amplifier.
The signal is then quantized by a sigma-delta ADC. The quantized signal is further processed to reduce the
interference level.
The demodulator digitally down-converts the signal to zero IF and recovers the data stream by an adaptive
decision mechanism. The demodulator includes EDR processing with state-of-the-art performance. It includes a
maximum-likelihood sequence estimator (MLSE) for improved performance of basic-rate BR sensitivity, and
adaptive equalization to enhance EDR modulation.
3.4.3 BT Transmitter
The transmitter is based on an all-digital sigma-delta PLL with a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) as the RF
frequency clock. The modulation is achieved by directly modulating the digital PLL. The power amplifier is also
digitally controlled.
For EDR modulation, the transmitter uses a Polar-Modulation technique. In this mode, in addition to the
frequency modulation that controls the direct-modulated ADPLL, an amplitude control modulates the PA, using
the Digital-Transmitter block. This block receives the input bit-stream and converts these signals to phasemodulated control-words. The phase-modulated digital signal is then processed to provide frequencymodulation control to the ADPLL.
3.4.4 Class 1.5 Application
Device provides on-chip support for Class 2 and Class 1.5 applications. Class 1.5 is the normal operating mode
after the initialization script has been sent to the Device.
It is called Class 1.5 as Device can transmit more than 4dBm on any BT modulation.
Refer to Bluetooth RF Performance specifications at end of document for more information.
3.4.5 Advanced Audio features
The Device includes Audio and Voice Processor (AVPR) targeted for off-loading the host CPU from coding
voice/audio samples when running A2DP and WBS profiles.

4 Design Goal Specifications
Section Disclaimer
This Specification is based upon the Texas Instruments WL183x Data Sheet version 1.4, and is subject to any
subsequent changes in applicable Texas Instruments documentation and software.
Any parameter marked TBD indicates that this is yet to be determined by TDK design/testing. Any parameter
marked TBC indicates that this is yet to be determined in an update of Texas Instruments documentation.

(1) Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating
conditions” is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
(2) The following signals are from the VBAT group: VBAT1, VBAT2, VBAT3
(3) Analog pins: WLAN_BG2, 11abg_ANT_1.
(4) 5.5V up to 10s cumulative in 7 years. 5V cumulative to 250s, 4.8V cumulative to 2.33 years – all includes charging dips and peaks.
(5) Operating free-air temperature range. The device can be reliably operated for 7 years at Tambient of 85˚C, assuming 25% active mode and
75% sleep mode (15,400 cumulative active power-on hours).
(6) Electrostatic discharge (ESD) to measure device sensitivity/immunity to damage caused by electrostatic discharges into the device.
(7) Level listed is the passing level per ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001. JEDEC document JEP155 states that 500V HBM allows safe
manufacturing with a standard ESD control process, and manufacturing with less than 500V HBM is possible if necessary precautions are
taken. Pins listed as 1000V may actually have higher performance.
(8) Level listed is the passing level per EIA-JEDEC JESD22-C101E. JEDEC document JEP157 states that 250 V CDM allows safe
manufacturing with a standard ESD control process, and manufacturing with less than 250V CDM is possible if necessary precautions are
taken. Pins listed as 250 V may actually have higher performance.

(1) Power-up time is calculated from the time CLK_REQ_OUT asserted till the time the TCXO_CLK amplitude is within voltage limit
specified above and TCXO_CLK frequency is within 0.1 ppm of final steady state frequency.
(2) The phase noise numbers listed here must be met at 38.4 MHz. For other frequencies the phase noise requirement is corrected by
adding 20 x log10(fTCXO / 38.4e6) dB. Specifically, for 26 MHz TCXO, the correction factor would be -3.4 dB.
* The slope of the clock at zero-crossings should not be less than that of a 200 mVp-p sine-wave (800 mVp-p for 11a band). i.e. 26MHz
clock: 16V/μs (for 11bg band) 38.4MHz clock: 24V/μs (for 11bg band)

5 Lead-free Product Status
All Epcos modules in mass production are lead-free. This is achieved by using only materials with lead
contamination below 1000 ppm. The applied lead-free solder alloy is the main source of Pb-contamination,
which together gives Pb-levels much below 50 ppm per module.
A comprehensive qualification for these lead-free module packages has been done. The related AQTP
documentation is available from Epcos on request.

Display of ordering codes for EPCOS products
The ordering code for one and the same EPCOS product can be represented differently in data
sheets, data books, other publications, on the EPCOS website, or in order-related documents such as
shipping notes, order confirmations and product labels. The varying representations of the
ordering codes are due to different processes employed and do not affect the specifications of
the respective products. Detailed information can be found on the Internet under

Important notes
The following applies to all products named in this publication:
1. Some parts of this publication contain statements about the suitability of our products for
certain areas of application. These statements are based on our knowledge of typical
requirements that are often placed on our products in the areas of application concerned. We
nevertheless expressly point out that such statements cannot be regarded as binding
statements about the suitability of our products for a particular customer application. As a
rule, EPCOS is either unfamiliar with individual customer applications or less familiar with them
than the customers themselves. For these reasons, it is always ultimately incumbent on the
customer to check and decide whether an EPCOS product with the properties described in the
product specification is suitable for use in a particular customer application.
2. We also point out that in individual cases, a malfunction of electronic components or failure
before the end of their usual service life cannot be completely ruled out in the current state
of the art, even if they are operated as specified. In customer applications requiring a very high
level of operational safety and especially in customer applications in which the malfunction or
failure of an electronic component could endanger human life or health (e.g. in accident
prevention or life-saving systems), it must therefore be ensured by means of suitable design of the
customer application or other action taken by the customer (e.g. installation of protective circuitry
or redundancy) that no injury or damage is sustained by third parties in the event of malfunction or
failure of an electronic component.
3. The warnings, cautions and product-specific notes must be observed.
4. In order to satisfy certain technical requirements, some of the products described in this
publication may contain substances subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions (e.g.
because they are classed as hazardous). Useful information on this will be found in our Material
Data Sheets on the Internet (www.epcos.com/material). Should you have any more detailed
questions, please contact our sales offices.
5. We constantly strive to improve our products. Consequently, the products described in this
publication may change from time to time. The same is true of the corresponding product
specifications. Please check therefore to what extent product descriptions and specifications
contained in this publication are still applicable before or when you place an order.
We also reserve the right to discontinue production and delivery of products. Consequently,
we cannot guarantee that all products named in this publication will always be available.
The aforementioned does not apply in the case of individual agreements deviating from the
foregoing for customer-specific products.
6. Unless otherwise agreed in individual contracts, all orders are subject to the current version of
the ―General Terms of Delivery for Products and Services in the Electrical Industry‖
published by the German Electrical and Electronics Industry Association (ZVEI).
7. The trade names EPCOS, Alu-X, CeraDiode, CeraLink, CeraPlas, CSMP, CSSP, CTVS,
