1.3 Mobile Phone Usage Model
The CYW20715 is designed to provide a direct interface to new and existing handset designs, as shown in Figure 3. The device has
flexible PCM and UART interfaces, enabling it to transparently connect to existing circuits. In addition, the TCXO and external LPO
inputs allow the use of existing handset features, helping to minimize product size, power, and cost.
The device incorporates a number of unique features to accommodate integration into mobile phone platforms.
■
The PCM interface provides multiple modes of operation to support both master and slave, as well as hybrid interfacing to one or
more external codec devices.
■
The UART interface supports hardware flow control with tight integration to power control sideband signaling to support the lowest
power operation.
■
The TCXO interface accommodates the typical reference frequencies used by cell phones.
■
A programmable TCXO power-up or power-down signal (active-high or active-low) allows the device to indicate when the clock
supplied to the device can be disabled for added power saving during Sleep mode.
■
The TCXO and external LPO inputs are high-impedance with minimal loading on the driving source whether power is applied to the
device or has been removed.
■
The highly linear design of the radio transceiver ensures that the device has the lowest output spurious emissions, regardless of
the state of operation, and has been fully characterized in the global cellular bands.
■
The transceiver design has excellent blocking (eliminating desensitization of the Bluetooth receiver) and intermodulation performance
(distortion of the transmitted signal caused by mixing the cellular and Bluetooth transmissions) in the presence of a cellular transmission (GSM, GPRS, CDMA, WCDMA, or iDEN). Minimal external filtering is required for integration within the handset.
■
Few external components are required for integration and very compact WLBGA packaging is available.

2. Integrated Radio Transceiver
The CYW20715 has an integrated radio transceiver that has been optimized for use in 2.4 GHz Bluetooth wireless systems. It has
been designed to provide low-power, low-cost, robust communications for applications operating in the globally available 2.4 GHz
unlicensed ISM band. The CYW20715 is fully compliant with the Bluetooth Radio Specification and enhanced data rate specification
and meets or exceeds the requirements to provide the highest communication link quality of service.
2.1 Transmitter Path
The CYW20715 features a fully integrated zero IF transmitter. The baseband transmitted data is digitally modulated in the modem
block and up-converted to the 2.4 GHz ISM band in the transmitter path. The transmitter path consists of signal filtering, I/Q upconversion, a high-output power amplifier (PA), and RF filtering.
The CYW20715 also incorporates modulation schemes to support enhanced data rates.
■
P/4-DQPSK for 2 Mbps
■
8-DPSK for 3 Mbps
2.1.1 Digital Modulator
The digital modulator performs the data modulation and filtering required for the GFSK, /4DQPSK, and 8-DPSK signals. The fully
digital modulator minimizes any frequency drift or anomalies in the modulation characteristics of the transmitted signal and is much
more stable than direct VCO modulation schemes.
2.1.2 Power Amplifier
The CYW20715’s integrated PA can be configured for Class 2 operation, transmitting up to +4 dBm. The PA can also be configured
for Class 1 operation, transmitting up +10 dBm at the chip in gFSK mode, when a minimum supply voltage of 2.5V is applied to VDDTF.
Because of the linear nature of the PA, combined with integrated filtering, minimal external filtering is required to meet Bluetooth and
regulatory harmonic and spurious requirements.
Using a highly linearized, temperature compensated design, the PA can transmit +10 dBm for basic rate and +8 dBm for enhanced
data rates (2 to 3 Mbps). A flexible supply voltage range allows the PA to operate from 1.2V to 3.3V. A minimum supply voltage of
2.5V is required at VDDTF to achieve +10 dBm of transmit power.
2.2 Receiver Path
The receiver path uses a low IF scheme to downconvert the received signal for demodulation in the digital demodulator and bit
synchronizer. The receiver path provides a high degree of linearity, an extended dynamic range, and high order on-chip channel
filtering to ensure reliable operation in the noisy 2.4 GHz ISM band. The front-end topology, with built-in out-of-band attenuation,
enables the device to be used in most applications without off-chip filtering. For integrated handset operation where the Bluetooth
function is integrated close to the cellular transmitter, minimal external filtering is required to eliminate the desensitization of the
receiver by the cellular transmit signal.
2.2.1 Digital Demodulator and Bit Synchronizer
The digital demodulator and bit synchronizer uses the low IF received signal to perform an optimal frequency tracking and bit synchronization algorithm.
2.2.2 Receiver Signal Strength Indicator
The CYW20715 radio provides a Receiver Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) signal to the baseband so that the controller can take part
in a Bluetooth power-controlled link by providing a metric of its own receiver signal strength to determine whether the transmitter
should increase or decrease its output power.
2.3 Local Oscillator Generation
Local Oscillator (LO) generation provides fast frequency hopping (1600 hops/second) across the 79 maximum available channels.
The LO generation subblock employs an architecture for high immunity to LO pulling during PA operation. The device uses fullyintegrated PLL loop filters.
2.4 Calibration
The radio transceiver features an automated calibration scheme that is fully self-contained in the radio. User interaction is not required
during normal operation or during manufacturing to provide the optimal performance. Calibration optimizes the performance of all
major blocks in the radio, including gain and phase characteristics of filters, matching between key components, and key gain blocks.
Calibration, which takes process and temperature variations into account, occurs transparently during the settling time of the hops,
adjusting for temperature variations as the device cools and heats during normal operation.

CYW20715
2.5 Internal LDO
Two internal Low Drop-Out (LDO) voltage regulators eliminate the need for external voltage regulators and therefore reduce the BOM.
The first LDO is a preregulator (HV LDO). The second LDO (Main LDO) supplies the main power to the CYW20715 (see Figure 2 on
page 6).
The HV LDO has an input voltage range of 2.3V to 5.5V. The input VBAT is ideal for batteries. The VREGHV output is programmable
from 1.8V to 3.3V, in 100 mV steps. The dropout voltage is 200 mV. The HV LDO can supply up to 95 mA, which leaves spare power
for external circuitry such as an RF power amp for higher transmit power. If the HV LDO is not used, to turn off the HV LDO and
minimize current consumption, connect the VBAT input to the VREGHV output. Firmware can then disable the HV LDO, saving the
quiescent current.
The HV LDO default output voltage is 2.9V, allowing this regulator to be used to power external NV memory devices, as well as the
VDDO rail. The firmware can then adjust this output to as low as 1.8V, if desired, to power VDDTF.
The main LDO has a 1.22V output (VREG) and is used to supply main power to the CYW20715. The input of this LDO (VREGHV)
has an input voltage range of from 1.63V to 3.63V. The output of the HV LDO is internally connected to the input to the main LDO.
Power can be applied to VREGHV when the HV LDO is not used. The main LDO supplies power to the entire device for Class 2
operation. The main LDO can drive up to 60 mA, which leaves spare power for external circuitry. The main LDO is bypassed by not
connecting anything to its output (VREG) and driving 1.12V–1.32V directly to VDDC and VDDRF.
REG_EN provides a control signal for the host to control power to the CYW20715. When power is enabled, the CYW20715 will require
complete initialization.

3. Bluetooth Baseband Core
The Bluetooth Baseband Core (BBC) implements the time critical functions required for high-performance Bluetooth operation. The
BBC manages buffering, segmentation, and data routing for all connections. It also buffers data that passes through it, handles data
flow control, schedules SCO/ACL Tx/Rx transactions, monitors Bluetooth slot usage, optimally segments and packages data into
baseband packets, manages connection status indicators, and composes and decodes HCI packets. In addition to these functions, it
independently handles HCI event types and HCI command types.

3.3 Frequency Hopping Generator
The frequency hopping sequence generator selects the correct hopping channel number, based on the link controller state, Bluetooth
clock, and device address.
3.4 Link Control Layer
The Link Control layer is part of the Bluetooth link control functions implemented in dedicated logic in the Link Control Unit (LCU).
This layer consists of the Command Controller that takes commands from the software and other controllers that are activated or
configured by the Command Controller to perform the link control tasks.
There are two major states–Standby and Connection. Each task establishes a different state in the Bluetooth Link Controller. In
addition, there are eight substates—Page, Page Scan, Inquiry, Inquiry Scan, Park, Sniff Subrate, and Hold.
3.5 Test Mode Support
The CYW20715 fully supports Bluetooth Test Mode, including the transmitter tests, normal and delayed Loopback tests, and the
reduced hopping sequence.
In addition to the standard Bluetooth Test mode, the device supports enhanced testing features to simplify RF debugging and qualification and type approval testing.

3.6 Power Management Unit
The Power Management Unit (PMU) provides power management features that can be invoked through power management registers
or packet handling in the baseband core. This section contains descriptions of the PMU features.
3.6.1 RF Power Management
The BBC generates power-down control signals for the transmit path, receive path, PLL, and power amplifier to the 2.4 GHz transceiver. The transceiver then processes the power-down functions, accordingly.
Document Number: 002-14813 Rev. *B
Page 11 of 47
CYW20715
3.6.2 Host Controller Power Management
The host can place the device in a sleep state, in which all nonessential blocks are powered off and all nonessential clocks are
disabled. Power to the digital core is maintained so that the state of the registers and RAM is not lost. In addition, the LPO clock is
applied to the internal sleep controller so that the chip can wake automatically at a specified time or based on signaling from the host.
The goal is to limit the current consumption to a minimum, while maintaining the ability to wake up and resume a connection with
minimal latency.
If a scan or sniff session is enabled while the device is in Sleep mode, the device automatically will wake up for the scan/sniff event,
then go back to sleep when the event is done. In this case, the device uses its internal LPO-based timers to trigger the periodic wake
up. While in Sleep mode, the transports are idle. However, the host can signal the device to wake up at any time. If signaled to wake
up while a scan or sniff session is in progress, the session continues but the device will not sleep between scan/sniff events. Once
Sleep mode is enabled, the wake signaling mechanism can also be thought of as a sleep signaling mechanism, since removing the
wake status will often cause the device to sleep.
In addition to a Bluetooth device wake signaling mechanism, there is a host wake signaling mechanism. This feature provides a way
for the Bluetooth device to wake up a host that is in a reduced power state.
There are two mechanisms for the device and the host to signal wake status to each other:
Bluetooth WAKE (BT_WAKE) and Host WAKE
(and HOST_WAKE) signaling
The BT_WAKE pin (GPIO_0) allows the host to wake the BT device, and
HOST_WAKE (GPIO_1) is an output that allows the BT device to wake the host.
In-band UART signaling
The CTS and RTS signals of the UART interface are used for BT wake (CTS) and
Host wake (RTS) functions in addition to their normal function on the UART
interface. Note that this applies for both H4 and H5 protocols.
When running in SPI mode, the CYW20715 has a mode where it enters Sleep mode when there is no activity on the SPI interface for
a specified (programmable) amount of time. Idle mode is detected when the SPI_CSN is left deasserted. Whether to sleep on an idle
interface and the amount of time to wait before entering Sleep mode can be programed by the host. Once the CYW20715 enters
sleep, the host can wake it by asserting SPI_CSN. If the host decides to sleep, the CYW20715 will wake up the host by asserting
SPI_INT when it has data for it.
Note: Successful operation of the power management handshaking signals requires coordinated support between the device
firmware and the host software.

3.6.3 BBC Power Management
The device provides the following low-power operations for the BBC:
■
Physical layer packet handling turns RF on and off dynamically within packet TX and RX.
■
Bluetooth specified low-power connection modes—Sniff, Hold, and Park. While in these low-power connection modes, the device
runs on the Low Power Oscillator and wakes up after a predefined time period.
Backdrive Protection
The CYW20715 provides a backdrive protection feature that allows the device to be turned off while the host and other devices in the
system remain operational. When the device is not needed in the system, VDD_RF and VDDC are shut down and VDDO remains
powered. This allows the device to be effectively off, while keeping the I/O pins powered so that they do not draw extra current from
other devices connected to the I/O.
Note: VDD_RF collectively refers to the VDDTF, VDDPX, and VDDRF RF power supplies.
Note: Never apply voltage to I/O pins if VDDO is not applied.
During the low power shutdown state and as long as VDDO remains applied to the device, all outputs are tristated and all digital and
analog clocks are disabled. Input voltages must remain within the limits defined for normal operation. This is done to either prevent
current draw and back loading on digital signals in the system. It also enables the device to be fully integrated in an embedded device
and take full advantage of the lowest power savings modes. If VDDC is powered up externally (not connected to VREG), VDDC
requires 750K ohms to ground during low-power shutdown. If VDDC is powered up by VREG, VDDC does not require 750K ohms to
ground because the internal main LDO has about 750 K ohms to ground when turned off.
Several signals, including the frequency reference input (XTAL_IN) and external LPO input (LPO_IN), are designed to be highimpedance inputs that will not load down the driving signal, even if VDDO power is not applied to the chip. The other signals with back
drive prevention are RST_N, COEX_OUT0, COEX_OUT1, COEX_IN, PCM_SYNC, PCM_CLK, PCM_OUT, PCM_IN, UART_RTS_N,
UART_CTS_N, UART_RXD, UART_TXD, GPIO_0, GPIO_1, GPIO_2, GPIO_4, GPIO_7, and OTP_DIS.
All other IO signals must remain at VSS until VDDO is applied. Failing to do this can result in unreliable startup behavior.
When powered on, using REG_EN is the same as applying power to the CYW20715. The device does not have information about its
state before being powered-down.
3.7 Adaptive Frequency Hopping
The CYW20715 supports host channel classification and dynamic channel classification Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH)
schemes, as defined in the Bluetooth specification.
Host channel classification enables the host to set a predefined hopping map for the device to follow.
If dynamic channel classification is enabled, the device gathers link quality statistics on a channel-by-channel basis to facilitate channel
assessment and channel map selection. To provide a more accurate frequency hop map, link quality is determined using both RF and
baseband signal processing.
3.8 Collaborative Coexistence
The CYW20715 provides extensions and collaborative coexistence to the standard Bluetooth AFH for direct communication with
WLAN devices. Collaborative coexistence enables WLAN and Bluetooth to operate simultaneously in a single device. The device
supports industry-standard coexistence signaling, including 802.15.2, and supports Cypress and third-party WLAN solutions.
Using a multitiered prioritization approach, relative priorities between data types and applications can be set. This approach maximizes
the performance-WLAN data throughput vs. voice quality vs. link performance.
A PA shutdown pin is available to allow full external control of the RF output for other types of coexistence, such as WIMAX.

3.9 Serial Enhanced Coexistence Interface
The Serial Enhanced Coexistence Interface (Serial ECI or SECI) is a proprietary Cypress interface between Cypress WLAN devices
and Bluetooth devices. It is an optional replacement to the legacy 3- or 4-wire coexistence feature, which is also available.
The following key features are associated with the interface:
■
Enhanced coexistence data can be exchanged over SECI_IN and SECI_OUT.
■
It supports generic UART communication between WLAN and Bluetooth devices.
■
To conserve power, it is disabled when inactive.
■
It supports automatic resynchronization upon waking from sleep mode.
■
It supports a baud rate of up to 4 Mbps.
3.9.1 SECI Advantages
The advantages of the SECI over the legacy 3-wire coexistence interface are:
■
Only two wires are required: SECI_IN and SECI_OUT.
■
Up to 48-bits of coexistence data can be exchanged.
Previous Cypress stand-alone Bluetooth devices such as the CYW2070 supported only a 3-wire or 4-wire coexistence interface.
Previous Cypress WLAN and Bluetooth combination devices such as the CYW4325, CYW4329, and CYW4330 support an internal
parallel enhanced coexistence interface for more efficient WLAN and Bluetooth information exchange. The SECI allows enhanced
coexistence information to be passed to a companion Cypress WLAN chip through a serial interface using fewer I/O than the 3-wire
coexistence scheme.
The 48-bits of the SECI significantly enhance WLAN and Bluetooth coexistence by sharing such information as frequencies used and
radio usage times. The exact contents of the SECI are Cypress confidential.
3.9.2 SECI I/O
The CYW20715 does not have dedicated SECI_IN or SECI_OUT pins, but the two pin functions can be mapped to the following digital
I/O: the UART, GPIO, SPIM (or BSC), PCM, and COEX pins. Pin function mapping is controlled by the config file that is either stored
in NVRAM or downloaded directly into on-chip RAM from the host.

4. Microprocessor Unit
The CYW20715 microprocessor unit runs software from the Link Control (LC) layer up to the Host Controller Interface (HCI). The
microprocessor is based on the ARM7TDMI-S™ 32-bit RISC processor with embedded ICE-RT debug and JTAG interface units. The
microprocessor also includes 384 KB of ROM memory for program storage and boot ROM, 112 KB of RAM for data scratch-pad, and
patch RAM code.
The internal boot ROM provides flexibility during power-on reset to enable the same device to be used in various configurations,
including automatic host transport selection from SPI or UART, with or without external NVRAM. At power-up, the lower layer protocol
stack is executed from the internal ROM.
External patches can be applied to the ROM-based firmware to provide flexibility for bug fixes and features additions. These patches
can be downloaded from the host to the device through the SPI or UART transports, or using external NVRAM. The device can also
support the integration of user applications and profiles using an external serial flash memory.
4.1 NVRAM Configuration Data and Storage
4.1.1 Serial Interface
The CYW20715 includes an SPI master controller that can be used to access serial flash memory. The SPI master contains an AHB
slave interface, transmit and receive FIFOs, and the SPI core PHY logic. Data is transferred to and from the module by the system
CPU. DMA operation is not supported.
The CYW20715 supports serial flash vendors Atmel®, MXIC, and Numonyx™. The most commonly used parts from two of these
vendors are:
■
AT25BCM512B, manufactured by Atmel
■
MX25V512ZUI-20G, manufactured by MXIC
4.2 EEPROM
The CYW20715 includes a Broadcom® Serial Control (BSC) master interface. The BSC interface supports low-speed and fast mode
devices and is compatible with I2C slave devices. Multiple I2C master devices and flexible wait state insertion by the master interface
or slave devices are not supported. The CYW20715 provides 400 kHz, full speed clock support.
The BSC interface is programmed by the CPU to generate the following BSC transfer types on the bus:
■
Read-only
■
Write-only
■
Combined read/write
■
Combined write-read
NVRAM may contain configuration information about the customer application, including the following:
■
Fractional-N information
■
BD_ADDR
■
UART baud rate
■
SDP service record
■
File system information used for code, code patches, or data
4.3 External Reset
The CYW20715 has an integrated power-on reset circuit which completely resets all circuits to a known power on state. This action
can also be driven by an external reset signal, which can be used to externally control the device, forcing it into a power-on reset state.
The RST_N signal input is an active-low signal for all versions of the CYW20715. The CYW20715 requires an external pull-up resistor
on the RST_N input. Alternatively, the RST_N input can be connected to REG_EN or driven directly by a host GPIO.

CYW20715
4.4 One-Time Programmable Memory
The CYW20715 includes a One-Time Programmable (OTP) memory, allowing manufacturing customization and avoiding the need
for an on-board NVRAM.If customization is not required, then the OTP does not need to be programmed. Whether the OTP is
programmed or not, it is disabled after the boot process completes to save power. The OTP size is 128 bytes.
The OTP is designed to store a minimal amount of information. Aside from OTP data, most user configuration information will be
downloaded into RAM after the CYW20715 boots up and is ready for host transport communication. The OTP contents are limited to:
■
Parameters required prior to downloading user configuration to RAM.
■
Parameters unique to a customer design.
4.4.1 Contents
The following are typical parameters programmed into the OTP memory:
■
BD_ADDR
■
Software license key
■
Output power calibration
■
Frequency trimming
■
Initial status LED drive configuration
The OTP contents also include a static error correction table to improve yield during the programming process as well as forward error
correction codes to eliminate any long-term reliability problems. The OTP contents associated with error correction are not visible by
customers.
4.4.2 Programming
OTP memory programming takes place through a combination of Cypress software integrated with the manufacturing test software
and code embedded in CYW20715 firmware.
Programming the OTP requires a 3.3V supply. The OTP programming supply comes from the VDDO pin. The OTP power supply can
be as low as 1.8V in order to read the OTP contents. OTP_DIS is brought out to a pin on the WLBGA package. If the OTP_DIS pin
is left floating or externally pulled low, then the OTP will be enabled. if the OTP_DIS pins is externally pulled high, then the OTP will
be disabled.

5. Peripheral Transport Unit
This section discusses the PCM, UART, and SPI peripheral interfaces. The CYW20715 has a 1040 byte transmit and receive fifo,
which is large enough to hold the entire payload of the largest EDR BT packet (3-DH5).
5.1 PCM Interface
The CYW20715 PCM interface can connect to linear PCM codec devices in master or slave mode. In master mode, the device
generates the PCM_BCLK and PCM_SYNC signals. In slave mode, these signals are provided by another master on the PCM
interface as inputs to the device.
The device supports up to three SCO or eSCO channels through the PCM interface and each channel can be independently mapped
to any available slot in a frame.
The host can adjust the PCM interface configuration using vendor-specific HCI commands or it can be setup in the configuration file.
5.1.1 System Diagram
Figure 5 shows options for connecting the device to a PCM codec device as a master or a slave.

CYW20715
5.1.2 Slot Mapping
The device supports up to three simultaneous, full-duplex SCO or eSCO channels. These channels are time-multiplexed onto the
PCM interface using a time slotting scheme based on the audio sampling rate, as described in Table 2.
Table 2. PCM Interface Time Slotting Scheme
Audio Sample Rate
Time Slotting Scheme
8 kHz
The number of slots depends on the selected interface rate, as follows:

256

512
4
1024
8

The number of slots depends on the selected interface rate, as follows:
Interface rate
Slot
256
1
512
2
1024

2048

Transmit and receive PCM data from an SCO channel is always mapped to the same slot. The PCM data output driver tri-states its
output on unused slots to allow other devices to share the same PCM interface signals. The data output driver tri-states its output
after the falling edge of the PCM clock during the last bit of the slot.
5.1.3 Wideband Speech
The CYW20715 provides support for Wideband Speech (WBS) in two ways:
■
Transparent mode
The host encodes WBS packets and the encoded packets are transferred over the
PCM bus for SCO or eSCO voice connections. In Transparent mode, the PCM bus is
typically configured in master mode for a 4 kHz sync rate with 16-bit samples, resulting
in a 64 kbps bit rate.
■
On-chip SmartAudio® technology
The CYW20715 can perform Subband-Codec (SBC) encoding and decoding of linear
16 bits at 16 kHz (256 kbps rate) transferred over the PCM bus.
5.1.4 Frame Synchronization
The device supports both short and long frame synchronization types in both master and slave configurations. In short frame synchronization mode, the frame synchronization signal is an active-high pulse at the 8 kHz audio frame rate (which is a single bit period in
width) and synchronized to the rising edge of the bit clock. The PCM slave expects PCM_SYNC to be high on the falling edge of the
bit clock and the first bit of the first slot to start at the next rising edge of the clock. In the long frame synchronization mode, the frame
synchronization signal is an active-high pulse at the 8 kHz audio frame rate. However, the duration is 3-bit periods and the pulse starts
coincident with the first bit of the first slot.
5.1.5 Data Formatting
The device can be configured to generate and accept several different data formats. The device uses 13 of the 16 bits in each PCM
frame. The location and order of these 13 bits is configurable to support various data formats on the PCM interface. The remaining
three bits are ignored on the input, and may be filled with zeros, ones, a sign bit, or a programmed value on the output. The default
format is 13-bit two’s complement data, left justified, and clocked most significant bit first.

CYW20715
5.2 HCI Transport Detection Configuration
The CYW20715 supports the following interface types for the HCI transport from the host:
■
UART (H4 and H5)
■
SPI
Only one host interface can be active at a time. The firmware performs a transport detect function at boot-time to determine which
host is the active transport. It can auto-detect the UART interface, but the SPI interface must be selected by strapping the SCL pin to 0.
The complete algorithm is summarized as follows:
1. Determine if SCL is pulled low. If it is, select SPI as HCI host transport.
2. Determine if any local NVRAM contains a valid configuration file. If it does and a transport configuration entry is present, select
the active transport according to entry, and then exit the transport detection routine.
3. Look for CTS_N = 0 on the UART interface. If it is present, select UART.
4. Repeat Step 3 until transport is determined.
5.3 UART Interface
The UART physical interface is a standard, 4-wire interface (RX, TX, RTS, CTS) with adjustable baud rates from 9600 bps to 4.0
Mbps. The interface features an automatic baud rate detection capability that returns a baud rate selection. Alternatively, the baud
rate can be selected via a vendor-specific UART HCI command. The interface supports Bluetooth UART HCI (H4) specifications. The
default baud rate for H4 is 115.2 Kbaud.
The following baud rates are supported:
■
9600
■
14400
■
19200
■
28800
■
38400
■
57600
■
115200
■
230400
■
460800
■
921600
■
1444444
■
1500000
■
2000000
■
3000000
■
3250000
■
3692000
■
4000000
Normally, the UART baud rate is set by a configuration record downloaded after reset or by automatic baud rate detection. The host
does not need to adjust the baud rate. Support for changing the baud rate during normal HCI UART operation is provided through a
vendor-specific command.
The CYW20715 UART operates with the host UART correctly, provided the combined baud rate error of the two devices is within ±2%.

CYW20715
5.3.1 HCI 3-Wire Transport (UART H5)
The CYW20715 supports H5 UART transport for serial UART communications. H5 reduces the number of signal lines required by
eliminating CTS and RTS, when compared to H4. In addition, in-band sleep signaling is supported over the same interface so that
the 4-wire UART and the 2-wire sleep signaling interface can be reduced to a 2-wire UART interface, saving four I/Os on the host.
H5 requires the use of an external LPO. CTS must be pulled low.
5.4 SPI
The CYW20715 supports a slave SPI HCI transport with an input clock range of up to 16 MHz. Higher clock rates may be possible.
The physical interface between the SPI master and the CYW20715 consists of the four SPI signals (SPI_CSB, SPI_CLK, SPI_SI, and
SPI_SO) and one interrupt signal (SPI_INT). The CYW20715 can be configured to accept active-low or active-high polarity on the
SPI_CSB chip select signal. It can also be configured to drive an active-low or active-high SPI_INT interrupt signal. Bit ordering on
the SPI_SI and SPI_SO data lines can be configured as either little-endian or big-endian. Additionally, proprietary sleep mode, halfduplex handshaking is implemented between the SPI master and the CYW20715.
SPI_INT is required to negotiate the start of a transaction. The SPI interface does not require flow control in the middle of a payload.
The FIFO is large enough to handle the largest packet size. Only the SPI master can stop the flow of bytes on the data lines, since it
controls SPI_CSB and SPI_CLK. Flow control should be implemented in higher layer protocols.

CYW20715
6. Frequency References
The CYW20715 uses two different frequency references for normal and low-power operational modes. An external crystal or
frequency reference driven by a Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) signal is used to generate the radio frequencies
and normal operation clocking. Either an external 32.768 kHz or fully integrated internal Low-Power Oscillator (LPO) is used for lowpower mode timing.
6.1 Crystal Interface and Clock Generation
The CYW20715 uses a fractional-N synthesizer to generate the radio frequencies, clocks, and data/packet timing, enabling it to
operate from any of a multitude of frequency sources. The source can be external, such as a TCXO, or a crystal interfaced directly to
the device.
The default frequency reference setting is for a 20 MHz crystal or TCXO. The signal characteristics for the crystal interface are listed
in Table 3.

6.2 Crystal Oscillator

6.3 External Frequency Reference
An external frequency reference generated by a TCXO signal may be directly connected to the crystal input pin on the CYW20715,
as shown in Figure 7. The external frequency reference input is designed to not change loading on the TCXO when the CYW20715
is powered up or powered down.
When using the CYW20715 with the TXCO OR gate option, GPIO 6 must be driven active high or active low. Excessive leakage
current results if GPIO6 is allowed to float.

6.3.1 TCXO Clock Request Support
If the application utilizes an external TCXO as a clock reference, the CYW20715 provides a clock request output to allow the system
to power off the TCXO when not in use. Optionally, some packages support a TCXO OR function that allows a clock request in the
system to be combined with the CYW20715 clock request output, without requiring an extra component on the board.
Clock Request Output
The CLK_REQ signal on the GPIO_5 lead is asserted whenever the CYW20715 is in the Awake state. It is deasserted when in Sleep
state. When the CYW20715 is sleeping, it uses an LPO clock (external or internal) as the timing reference. In the CYW20715, the
clock request output (CLK_REQ) is configured as active high. If the clock request feature is not desired, GPIO_5 can be configured
for other functions.
Document Number: 002-14813 Rev. *B
Page 22 of 47
CYW20715
TCXO OR Option
The CYW20715 has an optional feature that allows the application to perform a logical OR function on a system TCXO clock request
signal and the CYW20715 clock request to form one clock request output to the TCXO device. This logical OR function is embedded
in the pad ring so that it is available at any time, as long as the pad ring is receiving a VDDO supply. The function works even if the
CYW20715’s digital core is sleeping or completely powered off.

6.4 Frequency Selection
Any frequency within the range specified for the crystal and TCXO reference can be used. These frequencies include standard handset
reference frequencies (12, 13, 14.4, 15.36, 16.2, 16.8, 18, 19.2, 19.44, 19.68, 19.8, 20, 24, 26, 33.6, 37.4, and 38.4 MHz) and any
frequency between these reference frequencies, as desired by the system designer. Since bit timing is derived from the reference
frequency, the CYW20715 must have the reference frequency set correctly in order for the UART and PCM interfaces to function
properly.
The CYW20715 reference frequency can be set in one of three ways.
■
Use the default 20 MHz frequency
■
Designate the reference frequency in external NVRAM
■
Auto-detect the standard handset reference frequencies using an external LPO clock
The CYW20715 is set to a default frequency of 20 MHz at the factory. For a typical design using a crystal, it is recommended that the
default frequency be used, since this simplifies the design by removing the need for either external NVRAM or external LPO clock.
If the application requires a frequency other than the default, the value can be stored in an external NVRAM. Programming the
reference frequency in NVRAM provides the maximum flexibility in the selection of the reference frequency, since any frequency within
the specified range for crystal and external frequency reference can be used. During power-on reset (POR), the device downloads
the parameter settings stored in NVRAM, which can be programmed to include the reference frequency and frequency trim values.
Typically, this is how a PC Bluetooth application is configured.
For applications such as handsets and portable smart communication devices, where the reference frequency is one of the standard
frequencies commonly used, the CYW20715 automatically detects the reference frequency and programs itself to the correct reference
frequency. In order for auto-frequency detection to work properly, the CYW20715 must have a valid and stable 32.768 kHz external LPO
clock present during POR. This eliminates the need for NVRAM in applications where the external LPO clock is available and an external
NVRAM is typically not used.
6.5 Frequency Trimming
The CYW20715 uses a fractional-N synthesizer to digitally fine-tune the frequency reference input to within ±2 ppm tuning accuracy.
This trimming function can be applied to either the crystal or an external frequency source such as a TCXO. Unlike the typical crystaltrimming methods used, the CYW20715 changes the frequency using a fully digital implementation and is much more stable and
unaffected by crystal characteristics or temperature. Input impedance and loading characteristics remain unchanged on the TCXO or
crystal during the trimming process and are unaffected by process and temperature variations.
The option to use or not use frequency trimming is based on the system designer’s cost trade-off between bill-of-materials (BOM) cost
of the crystal and the added manufacturing cost associated with frequency trimming. The frequency trimming value can either be
stored in the host and written to the CYW20715 as a vendor-specific HCI command or stored in NVRAM and subsequently recalled
during POR.
Frequency trimming is not a substitute for the poor use of tuning capacitors at an crystal oscillator (XTAL). Occasionally, trimming can
help alleviate hardware changes.

CYW20715
6.6 LPO Clock Interface
The LPO clock is the second frequency reference that the CYW20715 uses to provide low-power mode timing for park, hold, and sniff.
The LPO clock can be provided to the device externally, from a 32.768 kHz source or the CYW20715 can operate using the internal
LPO clock.
The LPO can be internally driven from the main clock. However, sleep current will be impacted.
The accuracy of the internal LPO limits the maximum park, hold, and sniff intervals.

a. VDD_RF collectively refers to the VDDPX and VDDRF RF power supplies.
b. Overall performance defined using integrated regulation.
c. VDDTF for Class 2 must be connected to VREG (main LDO output). VDDTF for Class 1 must be connected to VREGHV (HV LDO output) or an external voltage source.
Refer to the Cypress compatibility guide for configuration details. VDDTF requires a capacitor to ground. The value of the capacitor must be tuned to ensure optimal
RF RX sensitivity. The typical capacitor value is 10 pF. The value may depend on board layout.

Typical operating conditions are 1.22V operating voltage and 25°C ambient temperature.
The receiver sensitivity is measured at BER of 0.1% on the device interface.
Measured with the dirty transmitter OFF. Typically, there is approximately 1 dB less in Rx sensitivity when the dirty transmitter is ON.
Meets this specification using front-end band pass filter.
f0 = -64 dBm Bluetooth-modulated signal, f1 = –39 dBm sine wave, f2 = –39 dBm Bluetooth-modulated signal, f0 = 2f1 – f2, and |f2 – f1| = n*1 MHz, where n is 3, 4,
or 5. For the typical case, n = 5.
Includes baseband radiated emissions.

9.2 Timing and AC Characteristics
In this section, use the numbers listed in the reference column to interpret the timing diagrams.
9.2.1 Startup Timing
There are two basic startup scenarios. In one scenario, the chip startup and firmware boot is held off while the RST_N pin is asserted.
In the second scenario, the chip startup and firmware boot is directly triggered by the chip power-up. In this case, an internal poweron reset (POR) is held for a few ms, after which the chip commences startup.
The global reset signal in the CYW20715 is a logical OR (actually a wired AND, since the signals are active low) of the RST_N input
and the internal POR signals. The last signal to be released determines the time at which the chip is released from reset. The POR
is typically asserted for 3 ms after VDDC crosses the 0.8V threshold, but it may be as soon as 1.5 ms after this event.
After the chip is released from reset, the both startup scenarios follow the same sequence, as follows:
2. After approximately 120 s, the CLK_REQ (GPIO_5) signal is asserted.
3. The chip remains in sleep state for a minimum of 4.2 ms.
4. If present, the TCXO and LPO clocks must be oscillating by the end of the 4.2 ms period.
If a TCXO clock is not in the system, a crystal is assumed to be present at the XIN and XOUT pins. If an LPO clock is not used, the
firmware will detect the absence of a clock at the LPO_IN lead and use the internal LPO clock instead.
Figure 9 and Figure 10 on page 37 illustrate the two startup timing scenarios.
