WT41 Bluetooth® Module
DESCRIPTION
WT41 is a long range class 1, Bluetooth® 2.1 +
EDR module. WT41 is a highly integrated and
sophisticated Bluetooth® module, containing all the
necessary elements from Bluetooth® radio to
antenna and a fully implemented protocol stack.
Therefore WT41 provides an ideal solution for
developers who want to integrate Bluetooth®
wireless technology into their design with limited
knowledge of Bluetooth® and RF technologies.
WT41 is optimized for long range applications and
since it contains a RF power amplifier, low noise
amplifier and a highly efficient chip antenna. With
115 dB radio budget WT41 can reach over 1 km
range in line off sight.
By default WT41 module is equipped with powerful
and easy-to-use iWRAP firmware. iWRAP enables
users to access Bluetooth® functionality with simple
ASCII commands delivered to the module over
serial interface - it's just like a Bluetooth® modem.

5 Layout Guidelines
5.1 WT41-A
Wt41-A
Wt41-A
WT41-A should be mounted directly over a solid GND plane. The best performance can be achieved when
placing the module to the left corner or to a middle edge of the mother board, as shown in the figure below.
Components can be mounted directly under the module and the antenna. The antenna is extremely robust for
environment in close proximity to the antenna. Any dielectric material has minor effect on the resonant
frequency of the antenna. Metal objects with physical height less than 2 mm can be placed freely anywhere
around the module within the area of the mother board without significantly effecting on the radiation
characteristics. It is important to place the module to the edge of the mother board and not to place metal
objects in front of the antenna.

5.2 WT41-N
5.2.1 Layout for WT41-N with u.fl connector close to RF pin
If the trace from the RF pin to u.fl connector is very short there is no need to use impedance controlled trace.
Figure 10 shows an example layout where the u.fl connector is placed right next to the RF pin.
Figure 10: Layout of WT41-N with U.FL connector placed next to the RF pin
5.2.2 Layout for WT41-N with 50 ohm trace from RF pin to a SMA connector
Use 50 ohm transmission line to trace the signal from RF pin to an external RF connector. Figure 11 shows a
layout example for WT41-N with an external SMA connector.

A transmission line impedance calculator, such as TX-Line made by AWR, can be used to approximate the
dimensions for the 50 ohm transmission line. Figure 12 shows an example for two different 50 ohm
transmission lines.

6 UART Interface
This is a standard UART interface for communicating with other serial devices.WT41 UART interface provides
a simple mechanism for communicating with other serial devices using the RS232 protocol.
Four signals are used to implement the UART function. When WT41 is connected to another digital device,
UART_RX and UART_TX transfer data between the two devices. The remaining two signals, UART_CTS and
UART_RTS, can be used to implement RS232 hardware flow control where both are active low indicators. All
UART connections are implemented using CMOS technology and have signalling levels of 0V and VDD.
UART configuration parameters, such as data rate and packet format, are set using WT41 software.
Note:
In order to communicate with the UART at its maximum data rate using a standard PC, an accelerated serial
port adapter card is required for the PC.
Table 16: Possible UART Settings
The UART interface is capable of resetting WT41 upon reception of a break signal. A break is identified by a
continuous logic low (0V) on the UART_RX terminal, as shown in Figure 13. If tBRK is longer than the value,
defined by PSKEY_HOST_IO_UART_RESET_TIMEOUT, (0x1a4), a reset will occur. This feature allows a
host to initialise the system to a known state. Also, WT41 can emit a break character that may be used to
wake the host.
Figure 13: Break Signal
Table 17 shows a list of commonly used data rates and their associated values for
PSKEY_UART_BAUD_RATE (0x204). There is no requirement to use these standard values. Any data rate
within the supported range can be set in the PS Key according to the formula in Equation XXX

6.1 UART Bypass
Figure 14: UART Bypass Architecture
6.2 UART Configuration While Reset is Active
The UART interface for WT41 while the chip is being held in reset is tristate. This will allow the user to daisy
chain devices onto the physical UART bus. The constraint on this method is that any devices connected to
this bus must tristate when WT41 reset is de-asserted and the firmware begins to run.
6.3 UART Bypass Mode
Alternatively, for devices that do not tristate the UART bus, the UART bypass mode on BlueCore4-External
can be used. The default state of BlueCore4-External after reset is de-asserted; this is for the host UART bus
to be connected to the BlueCore4-External UART, thereby allowing communication to BlueCore4-External via
the UART. All UART bypass mode connections are implemented using CMOS technology and have signalling
levels of 0V and VDD.
In order to apply the UART bypass mode, a BCCMD command will be issued to BlueCore4-External. Upon
this issue, it will switch the bypass to PIO[7:4] as Figure 14 indicates. Once the bypass mode has been
invoked, WT41 will enter the Deep Sleep state indefinitely.
In order to re-establish communication with WT41, the chip must be reset so that the default configuration
takes effect.
It is important for the host to ensure a clean Bluetooth disconnection of any active links before the bypass
mode is invoked. Therefore, it is not possible to have active Bluetooth links while operating the bypass mode.
The current consumption for a device in UART bypass mode is equal to the values quoted for a device in
standby mode.

7 USB Interface
This is a full speed (12Mbits/s) USB interface for communicating with other compatible digital devices. WT41
acts as a USB peripheral, responding to requests from a master host controller such as a PC.
The USB interface is capable of driving a USB cable directly. No external USB transceiver is required. The
device operates as a USB peripheral, responding to requests from a master host controller such as a PC.
Both the OHCI and the UHCI standards are supported. The set of USB endpoints implemented can behave as
specified in the USB section of the Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR specification or alternatively can appear as a set of
endpoints appropriate to USB audio devices such as speakers.
As USB is a master/slave oriented system (in common with other USB peripherals), WT41 only supports USB
Slave operation.
7.1 USB Data Connections
The USB data lines emerge as pins USB_DP and USB_DN. These terminals are connected to the internal
USB I/O buffers of the BlueCore4-External, therefore, have a low output impedance. To match the connection
to the characteristic impedance of the USB cable, resistors must be placed in series with USB_DP/USB_DN
and the cable.
7.2 USB Pull-Up resistor
WT41 features an internal USB pull-up resistor. This pulls the USB_DP pin weakly high when WT41 is ready
to enumerate. It signals to the PC that it is a full speed (12Mbits/s) USB device.
The USB internal pull-up is implemented as a current source, and is compliant with section 7.1.5 of the USB
specification v1.2. The internal pull-up pulls USB_DP high to at least 2.8V when loaded with a 15k 5% pulldown resistor (in the hub/host) when VDD_PADS = 3.1V. This presents a Thevenin resistance to the host of
at least 900. Alternatively, an external 1.5k pull-up resistor can be placed between a PIO line and D+ on the
USB cable. The firmware must be alerted to which mode is used by setting PSKEY_USB_PIO_PULLUP
appropriately. The default setting uses the internal pull-up resistor.
7.3 USB Power Supply
The USB specification dictates that the minimum output high voltage for USB data lines is 2.8V. To safely
meet the USB specification, the voltage on the VDD supply terminal must be an absolute minimum of 3.1V.
Bluegiga recommends 3.3V for optimal USB signal quality.
7.4 Self-Powered Mode
In self-powered mode, the circuit is powered from its own power supply and not from the VBUS (5V) line of the
USB cable. It draws only a small leakage current (below 0.5mA) from VBUS on the USB cable. This is the
easier mode for which to design, as the design is not limited by the power that can be drawn from the USB
hub or root port. However, it requires that VBUS be connected to WT41 via a resistor network (Rvb1 and
Rvb2), so WT41 can detect when VBUS is powered up. BlueCore4-External will not pull USB_DP high when
VBUS is off.
Self-powered USB designs (powered from a battery or PSU) must ensure that a PIO line is allocated for USB
pullup purposes. A 1.5k 5% pull-up resistor between USB_DP and the selected PIO line should be fitted to the
design. Failure to fit this resistor may result in the design failing to be USB compliant in self-powered mode.
The internal pull-up in BlueCore is only suitable for bus-powered USB devices, e.g., dongles.
Bluegiga Technologies Oy
Page 28 of 49
Figure 15: USB Connections for Self-Powered Mode
The terminal marked USB_ON can be any free PIO pin. The PIO pin selected must be registered by setting
PSKEY_USB_PIO_VBUS to the corresponding pin number.
Figure 16: USB Interface Component Values
7.5 Bus-Powered Mode
In bus-powered mode, the application circuit draws its current from the 5V VBUS supply on the USB cable.
WT41 negotiates with the PC during the USB enumeration stage about how much current it is allowed to
consume. On power-up the device must not draw more than 100 mA but after being configured it can draw up
to 500 mA.
For WT41, the USB power descriptor should be altered to reflect the amount of power required. This is
accomplished by setting PSKEY_USB_MAX_POWER (0x2c6). This is higher than for a Class 2 application
due to the extra current drawn by the Transmit RF PA. By default for WT41 the setting is 300 mA.
When selecting a regulator, be aware that VBUS may go as low as 4.4V. The inrush current (when charging
reservoir and supply decoupling capacitors) is limited by the USB specification. See the USB Specification.
Some applications may require soft start circuitry to limit inrush current if more than 10uF is present between
VBUS and GND. The 5V VBUS line emerging from a PC is often electrically noisy. As well as regulation down
to 3.3V and 1.8V, applications should include careful filtering of the 5V line to attenuate noise that is above the
voltage regulator bandwidth. Excessive noise on WT41 supply pins will result in reduced receiver sensitivity
and a distorted RF transmit signal.
Bluegiga Technologies Oy
Page 29 of 49
Figure 17: USB Connections for Bus-Powered Mode
7.6 USB Suspend Current
All USB devices must permit the USB controller to place them in a USB suspend mode. While in USB
Suspend, bus-powered devices must not draw more than 2.5mA from USB VBUS (self-powered devices may
draw more than 2.5mA from their own supply). This current draw requirement prevents operation of the radio
by bus-powered devices during USB Suspend.
When computing suspend current, the current from VBUS through the bus pull-up and pull-down resistors
must be included. The pull-up resistor at the device is 1.5 k. (nominal). The pull-down resistor at the hub is
14.25k. to 24.80k. The pull-up voltage is nominally 3.3V, which means that holding one of the signal lines high
takes approximately 200uA, leaving only 2.3mA available from a 2.5mA budget. Ensure that external LEDs
and/or amplifiers can be turned off by BlueCore4-External. The entire circuit must be able to enter the
suspend mode.
7.7 USB Detach and Wake-Up Signaling
WT41 can provide out-of-band signaling to a host controller by using the control lines called USB_DETACH
and USB_WAKE_UP. These are outside the USB specification (no wires exist for them inside the USB cable),
but can be useful when embedding WT41 into a circuit where no external USB is visible to the user. Both
control lines are shared with PIO pins and can be assigned to any PIO pin by setting
PSKEY_USB_PIO_DETACH and PSKEY_USB_PIO_WAKEUP to the selected PIO number.
USB_DETACH is an input which, when asserted high, causes WT41 to put USB_DN and USB_DP in high
impedance state and turns off the pull-up resistor on DP. This detaches the device from the bus and is
logically equivalent to unplugging the device. When USB_DETACH is taken low, WT41 will connect back to
USB and await enumeration by the USB host.
USB_WAKE_UP is an active high output (used only when USB_DETACH is active) to wake up the host and
allow USB communication to recommence. It replaces the function of the software USB WAKE_UP message
(which runs over the USB cable) and cannot be sent while BlueCore4-External is effectively disconnected
from the bus.

7.8 USB Driver
A USB Bluetooth device driver is required to provide a software interface between BlueCore4-External and
Bluetooth software running on the host computer. Please, contact [email protected] for suitable drivers.
7.9 USB v2.0 Compliance and Compatibility
Although WT41 meets the USB specification, CSR cannot guarantee that an application circuit designed
around the module is USB compliant. The choice of application circuit, component choice and PCB layout all
affect USB signal quality and electrical characteristics. The information in this document is intended as a guide
and should be read in association with the USB specification, with particular attention being given to Chapter
7. Independent USB qualification must be sought before an application is deemed USB compliant and can
bear the USB logo. Such qualification can be obtained from a USB plugfest or from an independent USB test
house.
Terminals USB_DP and USB_DN adhere to the USB Specification v2.0 (Chapter 7) electrical requirements.
BlueCore4-External is compatible with USB v2.0 host controllers; under these circumstances the two ends
agree the mutually acceptable rate of 12Mbits/s according to the USB v2.0 specification.

8 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
The SPI port can be used for system debugging. It can also be used for programming the Flash memory and
setting the PSKEY configurations. WT41 uses 16-bit data and 16-bit address serial peripheral interface, where
transactions may occur when the internal processor is running or is stopped. SPI interface is connected using
the MOSI, MISO, CSB and CLK pins. Please, contact [email protected] for detailed information about
the instruction cycle.

9 PCM Codec Interface
PCM is a standard method used to digitize audio (particularly voice) for transmission over digital
communication channels. Through its PCM interface, WT41 has hardware support for continual transmission
and reception of PCM data, thus reducing processor overhead for wireless headset applications. WT41 offers
a bidirectional digital audio interface that routes directly into the baseband layer of the on-chip firmware. It
does not pass through the HCI protocol layer.
Hardware on WT41 allows the data to be sent to and received from a SCO connection. Up to three SCO
connections can be supported by the PCM interface at any one time.
WT41 can operate as the PCM interface master generating an output clock of 128, 256 or 512kHz. When
configured as PCM interface slave, it can operate with an input clock up to 2048kHz. WT41 is compatible with
a variety of clock formats, including Long Frame Sync, Short Frame Sync and GCI timing environments.
It supports 13-bit or 16-bit linear, 8-bit µ-law or A-law companded sample formats at 8ksamples/s and can
receive and transmit on any selection of three of the first four slots following PCM_SYNC. The PCM
configuration options are enabled by setting PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32.
WT41 interfaces directly to PCM audio devices.
NOTE: Analog audio lines are very sensitive to RF disturbance. Use good layout practices to ensure noise
less audio. Make sure that the return path for the audio signals follows the forward current all the way as close
as possible and use fully differential signals when possible. Do not compromise audio routing.
9.1 PCM Interface Master/Slave
When configured as the master of the PCM interface, WT41 generates PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC.
Figure 19: PCM Interface Master
When configured as the Slave of the PCM interface, WT41 accepts PCM_CLK rates up to 2048kHz.
Bluegiga Technologies Oy
Page 33 of 49
Figure 20: PCM Interface Slave
9.2 Long Frame Sync
Long Frame Sync is the name given to a clocking format that controls the transfer of PCM data words or
samples. In Long Frame Sync, the rising edge of PCM_SYNC indicates the start of the PCM word. When
WT41 is configured as PCM master, generating PCM_SYNC and PCM_CLK, then PCM_SYNC is 8-bits long.
When WT41 is configured as PCM Slave, PCM_SYNC may be from two consecutive falling edges of
PCM_CLK to half the PCM_SYNC rate, i.e., 62.5s long.
Figure 21: Long Frame Sync (Shown with 8-bit Companded Sample)
WT41 samples PCM_IN on the falling edge of PCM_CLK and transmits PCM_OUT on the rising edge.
PCM_OUT may be configured to be high impedance on the falling edge of PCM_CLK in the LSB position or
on the rising edge.
9.3 Short Frame Sync
In Short Frame Sync, the falling edge of PCM_SYNC indicates the start of the PCM word. PCM_SYNC is
always one clock cycle long.
Bluegiga Technologies Oy
Page 34 of 49
Figure 22: Short Frame Sync (Shown with 16-bit Sample)
As with Long Frame Sync, WT41 samples PCM_IN on the falling edge of PCM_CLK and transmits PCM_OUT
on the rising edge. PCM_OUT may be configured to be high impedance on the falling edge of PCM_CLK in
the LSB position or on the rising edge.
9.4 Multi-slot Operation
More than one SCO connection over the PCM interface is supported using multiple slots. Up to three SCO
connections can be carried over any of the first four slots.
Figure 23: Multi-slot Operation with Two Slots and 8-bit Companded Samples
9.5 GCI Interface
WT41 is compatible with the GCI, a standard synchronous 2B+D ISDN timing interface. The two 64kbits/s B
channels can be accessed when this mode is configured.
Bluegiga Technologies Oy
Page 35 of 49
Figure 24: GCI Interface
The start of frame is indicated by the rising edge of PCM_SYNC and runs at 8kHz. With WT41 in Slave mode,
the frequency of PCM_CLK can be up to 4.096MHz.
9.6 Slots and Sample Formats
WT41 can receive and transmit on any selection of the first four slots following each sync pulse. Slot durations
can be either 8 or 16 clock cycles. Durations of 8 clock cycles may only be used with 8-bit sample formats.
Durations of 16 clocks may be used with 8-bit, 13-bit or 16-bit sample formats.
WT41 supports 13-bit linear, 16-bit linear and 8-bit -law or A-law sample formats. The sample rate is
8ksamples/s. The bit order may be little or big endian. When 16-bit slots are used, the 3 or 8 unused bits in
each slot may be filled with sign extension, padded with zeros or a programmable 3-bit audio attenuation
compatible with some Motorola codecs.
Bluegiga Technologies Oy
Page 36 of 49
Figure 25: 16-bit Slot Length and Sample Formats
9.7 Additional Features
WT41 has a mute facility that forces PCM_OUT to be 0. In master mode, PCM_SYNC may also be forced to 0
while keeping PCM_CLK running which some codecs use to control power down.
9.8 PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC Generation
WT41 has two methods of generating PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC in master mode. The first is generating
these signals by DDS from BlueCore4-External internal 4MHz clock. Using this mode limits PCM_CLK to 128,
256 or 512kHz and PCM_SYNC to 8kHz. The second is generating PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC by DDS from
an internal 48MHz clock (which allows a greater range of frequencies to be generated with low jitter but
consumes more power). This second method is selected by setting bit 48M_PCM_CLK_GEN_EN in
PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32. When in this mode and with long frame sync, the length of PCM_SYNC can be
either 8 or 16 cycles of PCM_CLK, determined by LONG_LENGTH_SYNC_EN in PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32.
The Equation XXX describes PCM_CLK frequency when being generated using the internal 48MHz clock:

i.e., first slot following sync is active, 13-bit linear voice format, long frame sync and interface master
generating 256kHz PCM_CLK from 4MHz internal clock with no tri-state of PCM_OUT.

10 I/O Parallel Ports
Six lines of programmable bidirectional input/outputs (I/O) are provided. All the PIO lines are power from VDD.
PIO lines can be configured through software to have either weak or strong pull-ups or pull-downs. All PIO
lines are configured as inputs with weak pull-downs at reset. Any of the PIO lines can be configured as
interrupt request lines or as wake-up lines from sleep modes.
WT41 has a general purpose analogue interface pin AIO[1]. This is used to access internal circuitry and
control signals. It may be configured to provide additional functionality.
Auxiliary functions available via AIO[1] include an 8-bit ADC and an 8-bit DAC. Typically the ADC is used for
battery voltage measurement. Signals selectable at this pin include the band gap reference voltage and a
variety of clock signals: 48, 24, 16, 8MHz and the XTAL clock frequency. When used with analogue signals,
the voltage range is constrained by the analogue supply voltage internally to the module (1.8V). When
configured to drive out digital level signals (e.g., clocks), the output voltage level is determined by VDD.
10.1 PIO Defaults
Bluegiga cannot guarantee that these terminal functions remain the same. Refer to the software release note
for the implementation of these PIO lines, as they are firmware build-specific.
Bluegiga Technologies Oy
Page 40 of 49
11 Reset
WT41 may be reset from several sources: RESET pin, power on reset, a UART break character or via
software configured watchdog timer. The RESET pin is an active low reset and is internally filtered using the
internal low frequency clock oscillator. A reset will be performed between 1.5 and 4.0ms following RESETB
being active. It is recommended that RESET be applied for a period greater than 5ms.
The power on reset occurs when the VDD_CORE supply internally to the module falls below typically 1.5V
and is released when VDD_CORE rises above typically 1.6V. At reset the digital I/O pins are set to inputs for
bidirectional pins and outputs are tri-state.
The reset should be held active at power up until all the supply voltages have stabilized to ensure correct
operation of the internal flash memory. Following figure shows an example of a simple power up reset circuit.
Time constant of the RC circuitry is set so that the supply voltage is safely stabilized before the reset
deactivates.


Le module transmetteur ne doit pas être installé ou utilisé en concomitance avec une autre antenne
ou un autre transmetteur.
Tant que ces deux conditions sont réunies, il n’est pas nécessaire de procéder à des tests supplémentaires
sur le transmetteur. Cependant, l’intégrateur est responsable des tests effectués sur le produit final afin de se
mettre en conformité avec d’éventuelles exigences complémentaires lorsque le module est installé (exemple :
émissions provenant d’appareils numériques, exigences vis-à-vis de périphériques informatiques, etc.) ;
IMPORTANT : Dans le cas où ces conditions ne peuvent être satisfaites (pour certaines configurations ou
installation avec un autre transmetteur), les autorisations fournies par la FCC et Industrie Canada ne sont plus
valables et les numéros d’identification de la FCC et de certification d’Industrie Canada ne peuvent servir pour
le produit final. Dans ces circonstances, il incombera à l’intégrateur de faire réévaluer le produit final
(comprenant le transmetteur) et d’obtenir une autorisation séparée de la part de la FCC et d’Industrie Canada.
Etiquetage du produit final
Chaque module WT41-A/N possède sa propre identification FCC et son propre numéro de certification IC. Si
l’identification FCC et le numéro de certification IC ne sont pas visibles lorsqu’un module est installé à
l’intérieur d’un autre appareil, alors l’appareil en question devra lui aussi présenter une étiquette faisant
référence au module inclus. Dans ce cas, le produit final doit comporter une étiquette placée de façon visible
affichant les mentions suivantes :
« Contient un module transmetteur certifié FCC QOQWT41 »
« Contient un module transmetteur certifié IC 5123A-BGTWT41 »
ou
« Inclut la certification FCC QOQWT41 »
« Inclut la certification IC 5123A-BGTWT41 »
L’intégrateur du module WT41-A/N ne doit utiliser que les antennes répertoriées dans le tableau 21 certifiées
pour ce module. L’intégrateur est tenu de ne fournir aucune information à l’utilisateur final autorisant ce
dernier à installer ou retirer le module RF, ou bien changer les paramètres RF du module, dans le manuel
d’utilisation du produit final.
Afin de se conformer aux limites de radiation imposées par la FCC et Industry Canada, l’antenne (ou
les antennes) utilisée pour ce transmetteur doit être installée de telle sorte à maintenir une distance

Table 21: Qualified Antenna Types for WT41-N
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that
the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful
communication. Using an antenna of a different type or gain more than 2.3 dBi will require additional testing
for FCC, CE and IC. Please, contact [email protected] for more information.
Any antenna of the same type and the same or less gain can be used without additional application to FCC.
Table 22 lists approved antennas for WT41. Any approved antenna listed in table 22 can be used directly with
WT41 without any additional approval. Any antenna not listed in table 22 can be used with WT41-N as long as
detailed information from that particular antenna is provided to Bluegiga for approval. Specification of each
antenna used with WT41-N will be filed by Bluegiga. Please, contact [email protected] for more
information.
