The LMX9830 includes a configurable service database to answer requests with the profiles supported. 12 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMX9830 LMX9830 www.ti.com SNOSAU0C – MAY 2008 – REVISED JUNE 2015 Feature Description (continued) 9.3.2.4 Application With Command Interface The module supports automatic slave operation eliminating the need for an external control unit. The implemented transparent option enables the chip to handle incoming data raw, without the need for packaging in a special format. The device uses a pin to block unallowed connections. This pincode can be fixed or dynamically set. Acting as master, the application offers a simple but versatile command interface for standard Bluetooth operation-like inquiry, service discovery, or serial port connection. The firmware supports up to seven slaves. Default Link Policy settings and a specific master mode allow optimized configuration for the application specific requirements. See also Integrated Firmware. 9.3.2.5 Memory The LMX9830 introduces 16 kB of combined system and Patch RAM memory that can be used for data and/or code upgrades of the ROM based firmware. Due to the flexible start-up used for the LMX9830 operating parameters like the Bluetooth Device Address (BD_ADDR) are defined during boot time. This allows reading out the parameters of an external EEPROM or programming them directly over UART. 9.3.2.6 External Memory Interfaces As the LMX9830 is a ROM based device with no on-chip non volatile storage, the operation parameters will be lost after a power cycle or hardware reset. In order to prevent re initializing such parameters, patches or even user data, the LMX9830 offers two interfaces to connect an external EEPROM to the device: • μ-wire/SPI • Access.bus (I2C compatible) The selection of the interface is done during start-up based on the option pins. See Table 8 for the option pin descriptions. 9.3.2.7 µ-wire/SPI Interface In case the firmware is configured by the option pins to use a µ-wire/SPI EEPROM, the LMX9830 will activate that interface and try to read out data from the EEPROM. The external memory must be compatible to the reference listed in Table 1. The largest size EEPROM supported is limited by the addressing format of the selected NVM. The device must have a page size equal to N x 32 bytes. The firmware requires that the EEPROM supports Page write. Clock must be HIGH when idle. Table 1.

The external memory must be compatible to the reference listed in Table 2. The largest size EEPROM supported is limited by the addressing format of the selected NVM.

The UART interface consists out of Receive (RX), Transmit (TX), Ready-to-Send (RTS) and Clear-to-Send signals. RTS and CTS are used for hardware handshaking between the host and the LMX9830. Because the LMX9830 acts as gateway between the Bluetooth and the UART interface, TI recommends to use the handshaking signals especially for transparent operation. In case two signals are used CTS must be pulled to GND. Also see the LMX9830 Software User’s Guide for detailed information on 2-wire operation. The UART interface supports formats of 8-bit data with or without parity, with one or two stop bits. It can operate at standard baud rates from 2400 bits/s up to a maximum baud rate of 921.6 kbits/s. DMA transfers are supported to allow for fast processor independent receive and transmit operation. The UART baudrate is configured during start-up by checking option pins OP3, OP4 and OP5 for reference clock and baudrate. In case Auto baud rate detect is chosen, the firmware check the NVS area if a valid UART baudrate has been stored in a previous session. In case, no useful value can be found the device will switch to auto baud rate detection and wait for an incoming reference signal. The UART offers wakeup from the power save modes via the multi-input wakeup module. When the LMX9830 is in low power mode, RTS# and CTS# can function as Host_WakeUp and Bluetooth_WakeUp respectively.

The interface allows the support one codec or interface. The firmware selects the desired audio path and interface configuration by a parameter that is located in RAM (imported from nonvolatile storage or programmed during boot-up). The audio path options include the Motorola MC145483 codec, the OKI MSM7717 codec, the Winbond W681360/W681310 codecs and the PCM slave through the AAI. In case an external codec or DSP is used the LMX9830 audio interface generates the necessary bit and frame clock driving the interface. 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMX9830 LMX9830 www.ti.com SNOSAU0C – MAY 2008 – REVISED JUNE 2015 Table 4 summarizes the audio path selection and the configuration of the audio interface at the specific modes.

The clock mismatch does not result in any discernible loss in audio quality. In PCM slave mode, parameters are stored in NVS. Bit clock and frame clock must be generated by the host interface. PCM slave configuration example: PCM slave uses the slot 0, 1 slot per frame, 16 bit linear mode, long frame sync, normal frame sync. In this case, 0x03E0 should be stored in NVS. See “LMX9830 Software Users Guide” for more details. 9.3.5 Auxiliary Ports 9.3.5.1 RESET# There are two reset inputs: RESET_RA# for the radio and RESET_BB# for the baseband. Both are active low. There is also a reset output, B_RESET_RA# (Buffered Radio Reset) active low. This output follows input RESET_RA#. When RESET_RA# is released, going high, B_RESET_RA# stays low until the clock has started. See System Power-Up for details. 9.3.5.2 General Purpose I/Os The LMX9830 offers 3 pins which either can be used as indication and configuration pins or can be used for General Purpose functionality. The selection is made out of settings derived out of the power-up sequence. In General Purpose configuration the pins are controlled hardware specific commands giving the ability to set the direction, set them to high or low or enable a weak pullup. In alternate function the pins have predefined indication functionality. See Table 5 for a description on the alternate indication functionality. Table 5.

The different options for start-up are described in Table 8. 9.3.7.1 Options Register External pads in Table 8 are latched in this register at the end of Reset.

Start-up sequence activities: 1. From the Options registers OP6 and OP7, the LMX9830 checks if a serial PROM is available to use (ACCESS.bus or Microwire). 2. If serial PROM is available, the permanent parameter block, patch block, and nonvolatile storage (NVS) are read from it. If the BD Address is not present, enter the BD address to be saved in the NVS. For more information see Configuring the LMX9830 Through Transport Layer. 3. From the Options register OP3, OP4 and OP5, the LMX9830 checks for clocking information and transport layer settings. If the NVS information are not sufficient, the LMX9830 will send the “Await Initialization” event on the TL (Transport Layer) and wait for additional information (see Start-up Without External PROM Available.) 4. The LMX9830 compensates the UART for new BBCLK information from the NVS. 5. The LMX9830 starts up the Bluetooth core. 9.3.7.3 Start-up Without External PROM Available The following sequence will take place if OP6 and OP7 have been set to “No external memory” as described in Table 8. Start-up sequence activities: 1. From the Options registers OP6 and OP7, the LMX9830 checks if a serial PROM is available to use. 2. From the Options register OP3, OP4 and OP5, the LMX9830 checks for clocking mode and transport layer. 3. The LMX9830 sends the “Await Initialization” Event on the TL (Transport Layer) and waits for NVS configuration commands. The configuration is finalized by sending the “Enter Bluetooth Mode” command. 4. The LMX9830 compensates the UART for new BBCLK information from the NVS. 5. The LMX9830 starts up the Bluetooth core.

Supported frequencies see Table 13. 9.3.7.4 Configuring the LMX9830 Through Transport Layer As described in System Power-Up, the LMX9830 will check during start-up the Options Registers if an external PROM is available. If the information on the PROM are incomplete or no PROM is installed the LMX9830 will boot into the “initialization Mode”. The mode is confirmed by the “Await Initialization” Event. The following information are needed to enter Bluetooth Mode: • Bluetooth Device Address (BD_Addr) • External clock source (only if 10 - 20 MHz has been selected) • UART Baudrate (only if Auto baudrate detection has been selected) In general the following procedure will initialize the LMX9830: 1. Wait for “Await initialization” Event – Event will only appear if transport layer speed is set or after successful baudrate detection. 2. Send “Set Clock and Baudrate” Command only if the clock speed is not known through hardware configuration (i.e only if OP3, OP4, OP5 = 0 1 0). 3. Send “Write BD_Addr” to Configure Local Bluetooth Device Address. 4. Send “Enter Bluetooth Mode” – LMX9830 will use configured clock and UART speed and start the command interface. Note: In case no EEPROM is used, BDAddr, clock source and Baudrate are only valid until the next power-cycle or hardware reset. 9.3.7.5 Auto Baud Rate Detection The LMX9830 supports an Automatic Baudrate Detection in case the external clock is different to 12, 13 MHz or the range 10-20 MHz or the baudrate is different to 9.6 kbps, 115.2 or 921.6 kbit/s. The baudrate detection is based on the measurement of one character. The following issues need to be considered: • The flow control pin CTS must be low or else the host is in flow stop. • The Auto Baudrate Detector measures the length of the 0x01 character from the positive edge of bit 0 to the positive edge of stop bit. • Therefore the very first received character must always be a 0x01. • The host can restrict itself to send only a 0x01 character or also can send a command. • The host must flush the TX buffer within 50-100 milliseconds depend on clock frequency on the host controller. • After 50-100 milliseconds the UART is about to be initialized and short after the host should receive a “Await Initialization” Event or an “Command Status” Event.

Auto Baudrate Detection Timing Diagram 9.3.8 Using an External EEPROM for Nonvolatile Data The LMX9830 offers two interfaces to connect to external memory. Depending on the EEPROM used, the interface is activated by setting the correct option pins during start-up. See Table 8 for the option pin settings. The external memory is used to store mandatory parameters like the BD_Address as well as many optional parameters like Link Keys or even User data. The NVM is organized with fixed addresses for the parameters. Because of that the EEPROM can be preprogrammed with default parameters in manufacturing. Refer to Table 36 for the organization of the NVS map. In case the external memory is empty on first start-up, the LMX9830 will behave as like no memory is connected. (See Start-up Without External PROM Available). During the start-up process, parameters can be written directly to the EEPROM to be available after next bootup. On first bootup, the EEPROM will be automatically programmed to default values, including the UART speed of 9600 BPS. Patches supplied over the TL will be stored automatically into the EEPROM. 9.3.9 Integrated Firmware The LMX9830 includes the full Bluetooth stack up to RFComm to support the following profiles: • GAP (Generic Access Profile) • SDAP (Service Discovery Application Profile) • SPP (Serial Port Profile) Figure 11 shows the Bluetooth protocol stack with command interpreter interface. The command interpreter offers a number of different commands to support the functionality given by the different profiles. Execution and interface timing is handled by the control application. The chip has an internal data area in RAM that includes the parameters shown in Table 36. Figure 11.

The receiver consists of a low-noise amplifier (LNA) followed by two mixers. The intermediate frequency signal processing blocks consist of a polyphase bandpass filter (BPF), two hard-limiters (LIM), a frequency discriminator (DET), and a post-detection filter (PDF). The received signal level is detected by a received signal strength indicator (RSSI). The received frequency equals the local oscillator frequency (fLO) plus the intermediate frequency (fIF): fRF = fLO + fIF (supradyne). The radio includes a synthesizer consisting of a phase detector, a charge pump, an (off-chip) loop-filter, an RFfrequency divider, and a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The transmitter uses IQ-modulation with bit-stream data that is gaussian filtered. Other blocks included in the transmitter are a VCO buffer and a power amplifier (PA). 9.3.10.2 Receiver Front-End The receiver front-end consists of a low-noise amplifier (LNA) followed by two mixers and two low-pass filters for the I- and Q-channels. The intermediate frequency (IF) part of the receiver front-end consists of two IF amplifiers that receive input signals from the mixers, delivering balanced I- and Q-signals to the poly-phase bandpass filter. The poly-phase bandpass filter is directly followed by two hard-limiters that together generate an AD-converted RSSI signal. 9.3.10.2.1 Poly-Phase Bandpass Filter The purpose of the IF bandpass filter is to reject noise and spurious (mainly adjacent channel) interference that would otherwise enter the hard limiting stage. In addition, it takes care of the image rejection. The bandpass filter uses both the I- and Q-signals from the mixers. The out-of-band suppression should be higher than 40 dB (f<1 MHz, f>3 MHz). The bandpass filter is tuned over process spread and temperature variations by the autotuner circuitry. A 5th order Butterworth filter is used. 9.3.10.2.2 Hard-Limiter and RSSI The I- and Q-outputs of the bandpass filter are each followed by a hard-limiter. The hard-limiter has its own reference current. The RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) measures the level of the RF input signal. The RSSI is generated by piece-wise linear approximation of the level of the RF signal. The RSSI has a mV/dB scale, and an analog-to-digital converter for processing by the baseband circuit. The input RF power is converted to a 5-bit value. The RSSI value is then proportional to the input power (in dBm). The digital output from the ADC is sampled on the BPKTCTL signal low-to-high transition. 9.3.10.3 Receiver Back-End The hard-limiters are followed by a two frequency discriminators. The I-frequency discriminator uses the 90× phase-shifted signal from the Q-path, while the Q-discriminator uses the 90× phase-shifted signal from the I-path. A poly-phase bandpass filter performs the required phase shifting. The output signals of the I- and Qdiscriminator are substracted and filtered by a low-pass filter. An equalizer is added to improve the eye-pattern for 101010 patterns. After equalization, a dynamic AFC (automatic frequency offset compensation) circuit and slicer extract the RX_DATA from the analog data pattern. It is expected that the Eb/No of the demodulator is approximately 17 dB. 9.3.10.3.1 Frequency Discriminator The frequency discriminator gets its input signals from the limiter. A defined signal level (independent of the power supply voltage) is needed to obtain the input signal. Both inputs of the frequency discriminator have limiting circuits to optimize performance. The bandpass filter in the frequency discriminator is tuned by the autotuning circuitry.

Both the post-detection filter and equalizer are tuned to the proper frequency by the autotuning circuitry. The post-detection filter is a low-pass filter intended to suppress all remaining spurious signals, such as the second harmonic (4 MHz) from the FM detector and noise generated after the limiter. The post-detection filter also helps for attenuating the first adjacent channel signal. The equalizer improves the eye-opening for 101010 patterns. The post-detection filter is a third order Butterworth filter. 9.3.10.4 Autotuning Circuitry The autotuning circuitry is used for tuning the bandpass filter, the detector, the post-detection filter, the equalizer, and the transmit filters for process and temperature variations. The circuit also includes an offset compensation for the FM detector. 9.3.10.5 Synthesizer The synthesizer consists of a phase-frequency detector, a charge pump, a low-pass loop filter, a programmable frequency divider, a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), a delta-sigma modulator, and a lookup table. The frequency divider consists of a divide-by-2 circuit (divides the 5 GHz signal from the VCO down to 2.5 GHz), a divide-by-8-or-9 divider, and a digital modulus control. The delta-sigma modulator controls the division ratio and also generates an input channel value to the lookup table. 9.3.10.5.1 Phase-Frequency Detector The phase-frequency detector is a 5-state phase-detector. It responds only to transitions, hence phase-error is independent of input waveform duty cycle or amplitude variations. Loop lockup occurs when all the negative transitions on the inputs, F_REF and F_MOD, coincide. Both outputs (that is, Up and Down) then remain high. This is equal to the zero error mode. The phase-frequency detector input frequency range operates at 12 MHz. 9.3.10.6 Transmitter Circuitry The transmitter consists of ROM tables, two Digital to Analog (DA) converters, two low-pass filters, IQ mixers, and a power amplifier (PA). The ROM tables generate a digital IQ signal based on the transmit data. The output of the ROM tables is inserted into IQ-DA converters and filtered through two low-pass filters. The two signal components are mixed up to 2.5 GHz by the TX mixers and added together before being inserted into the transmit PA. 9.3.10.6.1 IQ-DA Converters and TX Mixers The ROM output signals drive an I- and a Q-DA converter. Two Butterworth low-pass filters filter the DA output signals. The 6-MHz clock for the DA converters and the logic circuitry around the ROM tables are derived from the autotuner. The TX mixers mix the balanced I- and Q-signals up to 2.4-2.5 GHz. The output signals of the I- and Q-mixers are summed. 9.3.10.7 Crystal Requirements The LMX9830 contains a crystal driver circuit. This circuit operates with an external crystal and capacitors to form an oscillator. shows the recommended crystal circuit. Table 13 specifies system clock requirements. The RF local oscillator and internal digital clocks for the LMX9830 is derived from the reference clock at the CLK+ input. This reference may either come from an external clock or a dedicated crystal oscillator. The crystal oscillator connections require an Xtal and two grounded capacitors. It is also important to consider board and design dependant capacitance in tuning crystal circuit. Equations that follow allow a close approximation of crystal tuning capacitance required, but actual values on board will vary with capacitive properties of the board. As a result, some fine tuning of crystal circuit that must be done that cannot be calculated; tuning must be done by testing different values of load capacitance. 22 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMX9830 LMX9830 www.ti.com SNOSAU0C – MAY 2008 – REVISED JUNE 2015 Many different crystals can be used with the LMX9830. Key requirements from Bluetooth specification is + 20 ppm. Additionally, ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) must be carefully considered. LMX9830 can support maximum of 230 Ω ESR, but it is recommended to stay <100 Ω ESR for best performance over voltage and temperature. Reference Figure 17 for ESR as part of crystal circuit for more information. 9.3.10.7.1 Crystal The crystal appears inductive near its resonant frequency. It forms a resonant circuit with its load capacitors. The resonant frequency may be trimmed with the crystal load capacitance. 1. Load Capacitance: For resonance at the correct frequency, the crystal should be loaded with its specified load capacitance, which is the value of capacitance used in conjunction with the crystal unit. Load capacitance is a parameter specified by the crystal, typically expressed in pF. The crystal circuit shown in Figure 13 is composed of: – C1 (motional capacitance) – R1 (motional resistance) – L1 (motional inductance) – C0 (static or shunt capacitance) The LMX9830 provides some of the load with internal capacitors Cint. The remainder must come from the external capacitors and tuning capacitors labeled Ct1 and Ct2 as shown in Figure 12. Ct1 and Ct2 should have the same the value for best noise performance. The LMX9830 has an additional internal capacitance CTUNE of 2.6 pF. Crystal load capacitance (CL) is calculated as the following: CL = Cint + CTUNE + Ct1//Ct2 (1) The CL above does not include the crystal internal self-capacitance C0 as shown in Figure 13, so the total capacitance is: Ctotal = CL + C0 (2) Based on crystal spec and equation: CL = Cint + CTUNE + Ct1//Ct2 CL = 8 pF + 2.6 pF + 6 pF = 16.6 pF (3) (4) 16.6 pF is very close to the TEW crystal requirement of 16 pF load capacitance. With the internal shunt capacitance Ctotal: Ctotal = 16.6 pF + 5 pF = 21.6 pF (5) 2. Crystal Pullability: Pullability is another important parameter for a crystal, which is the change in frequency of a crystal with units of ppm/pF, either from the natural resonant frequency to a load resonant frequency, or from one load resonant frequency to another. The frequency can be pulled in a parallel resonant circuit by changing the value of load capacitance. A decrease in load capacitance causes an increase in frequency, and an increase in load capacitance causes a decrease in frequency. 3. Frequency Tuning: Frequency Tuning is achieved by adjusting the crystal load capacitance with external capacitors. It is a Bluetooth requirement that the frequency is always within ±20 ppm. Crystal/oscillator must have cumulative accuracy specifications of ±15 ppm to provide margin for frequency drift with aging and temperature. TEW Crystal: The LMX9830 has been tested with the TEW TAS-4025A crystal, reference Table 10 for specification. Because the internal capacitance of the crystal circuit is 8 pF and the load capacitance is 16 pF, 12 pF is a good starting point for both Ct1 and Ct2. The 2480-MHz RF frequency offset is then tested. Figure 14 shows the RF frequency offset test results. Figure 14 shows the results are –20 kHz off the center frequency, which is –1 ppm. The pullability of the crystal is 2 ppm/pF, so the load capacitance must be decreased by about 1.0 pF. By changing Ct1 or Ct2 to 10 pF, the total load capacitance is decreased by 1.0 pF. Figure 15 shows the frequency offset test results. The frequency offset is now zero with Ct1 = 10 pF, Ct2 = 10 pF.

Assuming the VCO and crystal are very low noise, it is possible to put down approximate equations that govern the phase noise of the PLL. Phase noise (in-band) = PN1Hz + 20Log[N] + 10Log[Fcomp] where 28 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMX9830 LMX9830 www.ti.com SNOSAU0C – MAY 2008 – REVISED JUNE 2015 • PH1Hz is the PLL normalized noise floor in 1 Hz resolution bandwidth (13) Further out from the carrier, the phase noise will be affected by the loop filter roll-off and hence its bandwidth. As a rule-of-thumb; ΔPhase noise = 40Log[ΔFc] where • Fc is the relative change in loop BW expressed as a fraction (14) For example if the loop bandwidth is reduced from 100 kHz to 50 kHz or by one half, then the change in phase noise will be -12dB. Loop BW in reality should be selected to meet the lower limit of the modulation deviation, this will yield the best possible phase noise. Even further out from the carrier, the phase noise will be mainly dominated by the VCO noise assuming the crystal is relatively clean. Lock-time is dependent on three factors, the loop bandwidth, the maximum frequency jump that the PLL must make and the final tolerance to which the frequency must settle. As a rule-of-thumb it is given by: LT = 400 (1 log10'F) FC Where 'F = Frequency tolerance Frequency jump (15) These equations are approximations of the ones used by Webench to calculate phase noise and lock-time. 9.3.10.7.6.3 Practical Optimization In an example where frequency drift and drift rate can be improved though loop filter tweaks, consider the results taken below. The drift rate is 26.1 kHz per 50 μs and the maximum drift is 25 kHz for DH1 packets, both of which are exceeding or touching the Bluetooth pass limits. These measurements are taken with component values shown in Table 15. Table 16.

The reduction in this noise level corresponds directly to the reduction of noise in the payload area where drift is measured. This noise reduction comes at the expense of lock-time which can be increased to 120 µs without suffering any ill effects, however if we continue to reduce the loop BW further the lock-time will increase such that the PLL does not have time to lock before data transmission and the drift will again increase. Before the locktime goes out of spec, the modulation index will start to fall because it is being cut by the reducing loop BW. Therefore, a compromise must be found between lock-time, phase noise and modulation, which yields best performance. Note: The values shown in the LMX9830 data sheet, are the best case optimized values that have been shown to produce the best overall results and are recommended as a starting point for this design. Another example of how the loop filter values can affect frequency drift rate, these results below show the DUT with maximum drift on mid and high channels failing. Adjusting the loop bandwidth as shown provides the improvement required to pass qualification. Table 18.

The command interpreter listens to commands and links can be set up. The full command list is supported. If connected by another device, the module sends an event back to the host, where the RFComm port has been connected, and switches to transparent mode. 9.4.1.1.2 Default Connections Stored If default connections were stored on a previous session, once the LMX9830 is reset, it will attempt to connect each device stored within the data RAM three times. The host will be notified about the success of the link setup via a link status event. 9.4.1.1.3 Nonautomatic Operation In Nonautomatic Operation, the LMX9830 does not check the default connections section within the Data RAM. If connected by another device, it will NOT switch to transparent mode and continue to interpret data sent on the UART. 9.4.1.1.4 Transparent Mode The LMX9830 supports transparent data communication from the UART interface to a Bluetooth link. If activated, the module does not interpret the commands on the UART which normally are used to configure and control the module. The packages don’t need to be formatted as described in Table 21. Instead all data are directly passed through the firmware to the active Bluetooth link and the remote device. Transparent mode can only be supported on a point-to-point connection. To leave Transparent mode, the host must send a UART_BREAK signal to the module. 9.4.1.1.5 Force Master Mode In Force Master mode tries to act like an Accesspoint for multiple connections. For this it will only accept the link if a Master/slave role switch is accepted by the connecting device. After successful link establishment the LMX9830 will be Master and available for additional incoming links. On the first incoming link the LMX9830 will switch to transparent depending on the setting for automatic or command mode. Additional links will only be possible if the device is not in transparent mode. 9.4.2 Default Connections The LMX9830 supports the storage of up to 3 devices within its NVS. Those connections can either be connected after reset or on demand using a specific command. 36 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMX9830 LMX9830 www.ti.com SNOSAU0C – MAY 2008 – REVISED JUNE 2015 Device Functional Modes (continued) 9.4.3 Event Filter The LMX9830 uses events or indicators to notify the host about successful commands or changes at the Bluetooth interface. Depending on the application the LMX9830 can be configured. The following levels are defined: • No Events: – The LMX9830 is not reporting any events. Optimized for passive cable replacement solutions. • Standard LMX9830 events: – Only necessary events will be reported • All events: – Additional to the standard all changes at the physical layer will be reported. 9.4.4 Default Link Policy Each Bluetooth Link can be configured to support M/S role switch, Hold Mode, Sniff Mode and Park Mode. The default link policy defines the standard setting for incoming and outgoing connections. 9.4.5 Audio Support The LMX9830 offers commands to establish and release synchronous connections (SCO) to support Headset or Handsfree applications. The firmware supports one active link with all available package types (HV1, HV2, HV3), routing the audio data between the Bluetooth link and the advanced audio interface. In order to provide the analog data interface, an external audio codec is required. The LMX9830 includes a list of codecs which can be used. Table 36.

The modular structure of the LMX9830 allows the firmware to power down unused modules. The Low Power Modes have influence on: • UART transport layer – enabling or disabling the interface • Bluetooth Baseband activity – firmware disables LLC and Radio if possible 9.4.7 Power Modes The following LMX9830 power modes, which depend on the activity level of the UART transport layer and the radio activity are defined: The radio activity level mainly depends on application requirements and is defined by standard Bluetooth operations like inquiry/page scanning or an active link. A remote device establishing or disconnecting a link may also indirectly change the radio activity level. The UART transport layer by default is enabled on device power up. In order to disable the transport layer the command “Disable Transport Layer” is used. Thus only the Host side command interface can disable the transport layer. Enabling the transport layer is controlled by the HW Wakeup signalling. This can be done from either the Host or the LMX9830.

Transition Between Different Hardware Power Modes 9.4.8 Enabling and Disabling UART Transport 9.4.8.1 Hardware Wake-Up Functionality In certain usage scenarios, the host can switch off the transport layer of the LMX9830 in order to reduce power consumption. Afterwards both devices, host and LMX9830 are able to shut down their UART interfaces. In order to save system connections the UART interface is reconfigured to hardware wake-up functionality. For a detailed timing and command functionality, also see the LMX9830 Software User’s Guide. The interface between host and LMX9830 is defined as described in Figure 22. Figure 22. UART NULL Modem Connection 9.4.8.2 Disabling the UART Transport Layer The Host can disable the UART transport layer by sending the “Disable Transport Layer” Command. The LMX9830 will empty its buffers, send the confirmation event and disable its UART interface. Afterwards the UART interface will be reconfigured to wake up on a falling edge of the CTS pin.

Possible scenarios can be incoming data or incoming link indicators. If the UART is not enabled the LMX9830 assumes that the Host is sleeping and waking it up by activating RTS. To be able to react on that Wakeup, the host must monitor the CTS pin. As soon as the host activates its RTS pin, the LMX9830 will first send a confirmation event and then start to transmit the events. 9.4.8.4 Enabling the UART Transport Layer from the Host If the host must send data or commands to the LMX9830 while the UART Transport Layer is disabled, it must first assume that the LMX9830 is sleeping and wake it up using its RTS signal. When the LMX9830 detects the Wake-Up signal it activates the UART HW and acknowledges the Wake-Up signal by settings its RTS. Additionally the Wakeup will be confirmed by a confirmation event. When the Host has received this “Transport Layer Enabled” event, the LMX9830 is ready to receive commands. 40 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMX9830 LMX9830 www.ti.com SNOSAU0C – MAY 2008 – REVISED JUNE 2015 10 Application and Implementation NOTE Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality. 10.1 Typical Application Figure 23. Reference Design Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMX9830 41 LMX9830 SNOSAU0C – MAY 2008 – REVISED JUNE 2015 www.ti.com Typical Application (continued) 10.1.1 Design Requirements 10.1.1.1 Evaluation Design Recommended that a 4-component T-PI pad be used between RF out and antenna input. Allows for versatility in the design such that the match to the antenna maybe improved and/or blocking margin increased by adding a LC filter. For a schematic including an RS232 communication with the host, see the LMX9830DONGLE designer guide, SNOA518. 10.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure 10.1.2.1 Antenna Matching Network The antenna matching network may or may not be required, depending upon the impedance of the antenna chosen and the trace impedance on the PCB. A 6.8-pF blocking capacitor is recommended. NOTE Additional L network placement is recommended for tuning the trace impedance if needed. 10.1.2.2 Host Interface To set the logic thresholds of the LMX9830 to match the host system, IOVCC (pin C4) must be connected to the logic power supply of the host system. It is highly recommended that a 10-pF bypass capacitor be placed as close as possible to the IOVCC pad on the LMX9830. 10.1.2.3 Frequency and Baud Rate Selections OP3, OP4, OP5 can be strapped to the host logic 0 and 1 levels to set the host interface boot-up configuration. Alternatively all OP3, OP4, OP5 can be hardwired over 1-kW pullup/pulldown resistors. See Table 10. 10.1.2.4 Start-Up Sequence Options OP6, OP7, and Env1 can be left unconnected (both OP6 and OP7 are pulled low and ENV1 is pulled high internally), These can be hardwired over 1-kW pullup/pulldown resistors. See Table 9. 10.1.2.5 Clock Input The clock source must be placed as close as possible to the LMX9830. The quality of the radio performance is directly related to the quality of the clock source connected to the oscillator port on the LMX9830. Careful attention must be paid to the crystal/oscillator parameters or radio performance could be drastically reduced. 10.1.2.6 Soldering The LMX9830 bumps are designed to melt as part of the Surface Mount Assembly (SMA) process. In order to ensure reflow of all solder bumps and maximum solder joint reliability while minimizing damage to the package, recommended reflow profiles should be used. Table 38, Table 39 and Figure 24 provide the soldering details required to properly solder the LMX9830 to standard PCBs. The illustration serves only as a guide and TI's is not liable if a selected profile does not work. See IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020C, July 2004 for more information. 42 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMX9830 LMX9830 www.ti.com SNOSAU0C – MAY 2008 – REVISED JUNE 2015 Typical Application (continued) Table 38.

Example: Sensor with LMX9830; hand-held device with standard Bluetooth option. The SPP conformance of the LMX9830 allows any device using the SPP to connect to the LMX9830. Because of switching to Transparent automatically, the controller has no need for an additional protocol layer; data is sent raw to the other Bluetooth device. On default, a PinCode is requested to block unallowed targeting. Figure 25. Point-to-Point Connection 10.2.1.2 Scenario 2: Automatic Point-to-Point Connection LMX9830 at both sides. Example: Serial Cable Replacement. Device #1 controls the link setup with a few commands as described. If step 5 is executed, the stored default device is connected (step 4) after reset (in Automatic mode only) or by sending the command “Connect to Default Device”. The command can be sent to the device at any time. If step 6 is left out, the microcontroller must use the command “Send Data” instead of sending data directly to the module. 44 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMX9830 LMX9830 www.ti.com SNOSAU0C – MAY 2008 – REVISED JUNE 2015 System Examples (continued) Figure 26. Automatic Point-to-Point Connection 10.2.1.3 Scenario 3: Point-to-Multipoint Connection LMX9830 acts as master for several slaves. Example: Two sensors with LMX9830; one hand-held device with implemented LMX9830. Serial Devices #2 and #3 establish the link automatically as soon as they are contacted by another device. No controller interaction is necessary for setting up the Bluetooth link. Both switch automatically into Transparent mode. The host sends raw data over the UART. Serial Device #1 is acting as master for both devices. As the host must decide to or from which device data is coming from, data must be sent using the “Send data command”. If the device receives data from the other devices, it is packaged into an event called “Incoming data event”. The event includes the device related port number. If necessary, a link configuration can be stored as default in the master Serial Device #1 to enable the automatic reconnect after reset, power up, or by sending the “connect default connection” command.

TI highly recommends placing a 0.1-µF and a 10-pF bypass capacitor as close as possible to VCC (pin E1) on the LMX9830 for 2.5-V and 3.3-V operations. NOTE For 1.8-V operations, VCC filtering is not required and VCC should be tied directly to ground. Figure 28 represents a typical system functional schematic for the LMX9830 in its normal 3.0-V or 3.3-V system interface operation. Figure 29 represents a typical system functional schematic for the LMX9830 in its 1.8-V system interface operation.

Note: (CL = crystal capacitance load rating) of 12 pF or greater rating is required from the crystal vendor of choice to best match module impedance and give a viable tuning range for the system. For grounding, one ground plane is used for both RF and Digital Grounding. For Antenna it is recommend that a 3 component L type pad with series 6.8pF blocker cap be used between RF output and antenna matching L network. This allows for versatility in the design such that the match to the antenna maybe improved and/or the blocking margin increased by use a LC filter.
