For optimum performance, the VDD_ANA ball adjacent to VREG_IN should be used for regulator output,
Regulator output connected to 47nF pure and 4.7µF 2.2Ω ESR capacitors.
Frequency range is 100Hz to 100kHz.
1mA to 70mA pulsed load.
Operation up to 5.6V is permissible without damage and without the output voltage rising sufficiently to damage the rest
of BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go, but output regulation and other specifications are no longer guaranteed at input voltages
in excess of 4.2V.
Low power mode is entered and exited automatically when the chip enters/leaves Deep Sleep mode.
Regulator is disabled when VREG_EN is pulled low. It is also disabled when VREG_IN is either open circuit or driven to
the same voltage as VDD_ANA.

The BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go firmware maintains the transmit power to be within the Bluetooth specification v2.0+EDR
limits.
Measurement made using a PSKEY_LC_MAX_TX_POWER setting corresponds to a PSKEY_LC_POWER_TABLE
power table entry of 63
Class 2 RF transmit power range, Bluetooth specification v2.0+EDR
To some extent these parameters are dependent on the matching circuit used, and its behaviour over temperature.
Therefore these parameters may be beyond CSR's direct control.
Resolution guaranteed over the range -5dB to -25dB relative to maximum power for Tx Level > 20
Measured at F0 = 2441MHz
Up to three exceptions are allowed in v2.0+EDR of the Bluetooth specification. BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go is guaranteed
to meet the ACP performance as specified by the Bluetooth specification v2.0+EDR

Description of Functional Blocks
8.1
RF Receiver
The receiver features a near-zero Intermediate Frequency (IF) architecture that allows the channel filters to be
integrated onto the die. Sufficient out-of-band blocking specification at the Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) input allows the
radio to be used in close proximity to Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Wideband Code Division
Multiple Access (W-CDMA) cellular phone transmitters without being desensitised. The use of a digital Frequency Shift
Keying (FSK) discriminator means that no discriminator tank is needed and its excellent performance in the presence
of noise allows BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go to exceed the Bluetooth requirements for co-channel and adjacent channel
rejection.

The LNA can be configured to operate in single-ended or differential mode. Single-ended mode is used for Class 1(1)
Bluetooth operation; differential mode is used for Class 2 operation.
8.1.2
Analogue to Digital Converter
The Analogue to Digital Converter (ADC) is used to implement fast Automatic Gain Control (AGC). The ADC samples
the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) voltage on a slot-by-slot basis. The front-end LNA gain is changed
according to the measured RSSI value, keeping the first mixer input signal within a limited range. This improves the
dynamic range of the receiver, improving performance in interference limited environments.
8.2
RF Transmitter
8.2.1
IQ Modulator
The transmitter features a direct IQ modulator to minimise the frequency drift during a transmit timeslot, which results
in a controlled modulation index. Digital baseband transmit circuitry provides the required spectral shaping.
8.2.2
Power Amplifier
The internal Power Amplifier (PA) has a maximum output power of +6dBm. This allows BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go to
be used in Class 2 and Class 3 radios without an external RF PA.
8.2.3
Auxiliary DAC
An 8-bit voltage Auxiliary DAC is provided for power control of an external PA for Class 1 operation or any other
customer specific application.
8.3
Balun and Filter
The Plug-n-Go device incorporates a balun and filter to provide a 50Ω unbalanced antenna port.
8.4
RF Synthesiser
The radio synthesiser is fully integrated onto the die with no requirement for an external Voltage Controlled Oscillator
(VCO) screening can, varactor tuning diodes, LC resonators or loop filter. The synthesiser is guaranteed to lock in
sufficient time across the guaranteed temperature range to meet the Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR specification.
8.5
Clock Input and Generation
The reference clock for the system is generated from a TCXO or crystal input between 8MHz and 40MHz. All internal
reference clocks are generated using a phase locked loop, which is locked to the external reference frequency.
(1)
Class 1 operation is not recommended for Plug-n-Go devices and therefore is not recommended for BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go.

During radio transmission the Burst Mode Controller (BMC) constructs a packet from header information previously
loaded into memory-mapped registers by the software and payload data/voice taken from the appropriate ring buffer

CSR Bluetooth Software Stacks
9.1.2
Key Features of the HCI Stack: Extra Functionality
The firmware extends the standard Bluetooth functionality with the following features:
ƒ
Supports BlueCore Serial Protocol (BCSP), a proprietary, reliable alternative to the standard Bluetooth UART
Host Transport
ƒ
Provides a set of approximately 50 manufacturer-specific HCI extension commands. This command set,
called BlueCore Command (BCCMD), provides:
Access to the chip's general-purpose PIO port
ƒ
The negotiated effective encryption key length on established Bluetooth links
ƒ
Access to the firmware's random number generator
ƒ
Controls to set the default and maximum transmit powers; these can help minimise interference
between overlapping, fixed-location piconets
ƒ
Dynamic UART configuration
ƒ
Radio transmitter enable/disable. A simple command connects to a dedicated hardware switch that
determines whether the radio can transmit.
ƒ
The firmware can read the voltage on a pair of the chip's external pins. This is normally used to build a battery
monitor, using either VM or host code
ƒ
A block of BCCMD commands provides access to the chip's Persistent Store configuration database (PS).
The database sets the device's Bluetooth address, Class of Device, radio (transmit class) configuration, SCO
routing, LM, USB and DFU constants, etc.
ƒ
A UART break condition can be used in three ways:
1.
Presenting a UART break condition to the chip can force the chip to perform a hardware reboot
2.
Presenting a break condition at boot time can hold the chip in a low power state, preventing normal
initialisation while the condition exists
3.
With BCSP, the firmware can be configured to send a break to the host before sending data. (This
is normally used to wake the host from a Deep Sleep state.)
ƒ
The DFU standard has been extended with public/private key authentication, allowing manufacturers to
control the firmware that can be loaded onto their Bluetooth modules
ƒ
A modified version of the DFU protocol allows firmware upgrade via the chip's UART
ƒ
A block of radio test or BIST commands allows direct control of the chip's radio. This aids the development
of modules' radio designs, and can be used to support Bluetooth qualification.
ƒ
Virtual Machine (VM). The firmware provides the VM environment in which to run application-specific code.
Although the VM is mainly used with BlueLab and RFCOMM builds (alternative firmware builds providing
L2CAP, SDP and RFCOMM), the VM can be used with this build to perform simple tasks such as flashing
LEDs via the chip's PIO port.
ƒ
Hardware low power modes: Shallow Sleep and Deep Sleep. The chip drops into modes that significantly
reduce power consumption when the software goes idle.
ƒ
SCO channels are normally routed via HCI (over BCSP). However, up to three SCO channels can be routed
over the chip's single PCM port (at the same time as routing any remaining SCO channels over HCI).
Note:
Always refer to the Firmware Release Note for the specific functionality of a particular build.

In Figure 9.3, this version of the stack firmware shown requires no host processor (but it can use a host processor for
debugging, etc.). All software layers, including application software, run on the internal RISC processor in a protected
user software execution environment known as a Virtual Machine (VM).
The user may write custom application code to run on the BlueCore VM using BlueLab SDK supplied with the BlueLab
Multimedia and Casira development kits, available separately from CSR. This code will then execute alongside the
main BlueCore firmware. The user is able to make calls to the BlueCore firmware for various operations.
The execution environment is structured so the user application does not adversely affect the main software routines,
thus ensuring that the Bluetooth stack software component does not need re-qualification when the application is
changed.
Using the VM and the BlueLab SDK the user is able to develop applications such as a cordless handsfree kit or other
profiles without the requirement of a host controller. BlueLab is supplied with example code including a full
implementation of the handsfree profile.
Note:
Sample applications to control PIO lines can also be written with BlueLab SDK and the VM for the HCI stack.

BCHS Software
BlueCore Embedded Host Software is designed to enable CSR customers to implement Bluetooth functionality into
embedded products quickly, cheaply and with low risk.
BCHS is developed to work with CSR's family of BlueCore ICs. BCHS is intended for embedded products that have a
host processor for running BCHS and the Bluetooth application, e.g., a mobile phone or a PDA. BCHS together with
the BlueCore IC with embedded Bluetooth core stack (L2CAP, RFCOMM and SDP) is a complete Bluetooth system
solution from RF to profiles.
BCHS includes most of the Bluetooth intelligence and gives the user a simple API. This makes it possible to develop
a Bluetooth product without in-depth Bluetooth knowledge.
The BlueCore Embedded Host Software contains three elements:
ƒ
Example Drivers (BCSP and proxies)
ƒ
Bluetooth Profile Managers
ƒ
Example Applications
The profiles are qualified which makes the qualification of the final product very easy. BCHS is delivered with source
code (ANSI C). BCHS also comes with example applications in ANSI C, which makes the process of writing the
application easier.
9.8
Additional Software for Other Embedded Applications
When the upper layers of the Bluetooth protocol stack are run as firmware on BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go, a UART
software driver is supplied that presents the L2CAP, RFCOMM and Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) APIs to higher
Bluetooth stack layers running on the host. The code is provided as C source or object code.

10.1.1 RF Plug-n-Go
The 10 x 10mm 96-ball LFBGA package used on the BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go device is an RF Plug-n-Go package,
where the terminal RF_CONNECT forms an unbalanced ouput with a nominal 50Ω impedance. This terminal can be

This is the single-ended RF input from the antenna. The input presents a complex impedance that requires a matching

External Reference Clock Input (XTAL_IN)
The BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go RF local oscillator and internal digital clocks are derived from the reference clock at
the BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go XTAL_IN input. This reference may be either an external clock or from a crystal
connected between XTAL_IN and XTAL_OUT. The crystal mode is described in section 10.3.

The external clock signal should meet the specifications in Table 10.1:

(c)
The frequency should be an integer multiple of 250kHz except for the CDMA/3G frequencies
VDD_ANA is 1.8V nominal
If the external clock is driven through a DC blocking capacitor, then maximum allowable amplitude is reduced from
VDD_ANA to 800mV pk-pk.
10.2.2 XTAL_IN Impedance in External Mode
The impedance of the XTAL_IN will not change significantly between operating modes, typically 10fF. When
transitioning from Deep Sleep to an active state a spike of up to 1pC may be measured. For this reason it is
recommended that a buffered clock input be used.
10.2.3 Clock Timing Accuracy
As Figure 10.3 indicates, the 250ppm timing accuracy on the external clock is required 7ms after the assertion of the
system clock request line. This is to guarantee that the firmware can maintain timing accuracy in accordance with the
Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR specification. Radio activity may occur after 11ms, therefore, at this point the timing accuracy
of the external clock source must be within 20ppm.

_äìÉ`çêÉ»QJolj=mäìÖJåJdç»= Data Sheet
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go can be configured to accept an external reference clock from another device (such as
TCXO) at XTAL_IN by connecting XTAL_OUT to ground. The external clock can be either a digital level square wave
or sinusoidal, and this may be directly coupled to XTAL_IN without the need for additional components. If the peaks
of the reference clock are below VSS_ANA or above VDD_ANA, it must be driven through a DC blocking capacitor
(approximately 33pF) connected to XTAL_IN. A digital level reference clock gives superior noise immunity, as the high
slew rate clock edges have lower voltage to phase conversion.
Device Terminal Descriptions
10.2.4 Clock Start-Up Delay
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go hardware incorporates an automatic 5ms delay after the assertion of the system clock
request signal before running firmware. This is suitable for most applications using an external clock source. However,
there may be scenarios where the clock cannot be guaranteed to either exist or be stable after this period. Under these
conditions, BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go firmware provides a software function which will extend the system clock
request signal by a period stored in PSKEY_CLOCK_STARTUP_DELAY. This value is set in milliseconds from
5-31ms.
This PS Key allows the designer to optimise a system where clock latencies may be longer than 5ms while still keeping
the current consumption of BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go as low as possible. BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go will consume
about 2mA of current for the duration of PSKEY_CLOCK_STARTUP_DELAY before activating the firmware.

10.3.2 Load Capacitance
For resonance at the correct frequency the crystal should be loaded with its specified load capacitance, which is
defined for the crystal. This is the total capacitance across the crystal viewed from its terminals. BlueCore4-ROM
Plug-n-Go provides some of this load with the capacitors Ctrim and Cint. The remainder should be from the external
capacitors labelled Ct1 and Ct2. Ct1 should be three times the value of Ct2 for best noise performance. This maximises
the signal swing, hence, slew rate at XTAL_IN (to which all on-chip clocks are referred). Crystal load capacitance, Cl
is calculated with Equation 10.1:
CI = Cint +
C trim

+ t1• t 2

C t1 + C t 2
Equation 10.1: Load Capacitance
Where:
Ctrim = 3.4pF nominal (mid-range setting)
Cint = 1.5pF
Note:
Cint does not include the crystal internal self capacitance; it is the driver self capacitance.

The BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go driver circuit is a transconductance amplifier. A voltage at XTAL_IN generates a
current at XTAL_OUT. The value of transconductance is variable and may be set for optimum performance.
Device Terminal Descriptions
10.3.3 Frequency Trim
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go enables frequency adjustments to be made. This feature is typically used to remove initial
tolerance frequency errors associated with the crystal. Frequency trim is achieved by adjusting the crystal load
capacitance with on-chip trim capacitors, Ctrim. The value of Ctrim is set by a 6-bit word in the PS Key
PSKEY_ANA_FTRIM (0x1f6). Its value is calculated thus:
C trim = 110fF × PSKEY _ AN A _ FT R IM
There are two Ctrim capacitors, which are both connected to ground. When viewed from the crystal terminals, they
appear in series so each least significant bit (LSB) increment of frequency trim presents a load across the crystal of
55fF.
The frequency trim is described by Equation 10.3.
∆ (FX )
= pullability × 55 × 10−3 (ppm / LSB)
FX
Equation 10.3: Frequency Trim
Where Fx is the crystal frequency and pullability is a crystal parameter with units of ppm/pF. Total trim range is 63
times the value above.
If not specified, the pullability of a crystal may be calculated from its motional capacitance with Equation 10.4.
Cm
∂ (FX )
= FX•
∂ (FX )
4(CI + C0 )2
Equation 10.4: Pullability
Where:
C0 = Crystal self capacitance (shunt capacitance)
Cm = Crystal motional capacitance (series branch capacitance in crystal model). See Figure 10.6.
Note:
It is a Bluetooth requirement that the frequency is always within ±20ppm. The trim range should be sufficient to
pull the crystal within ±5ppm of the exact frequency. This leaves a margin of ±15ppm for frequency drift with ageing
and temperature. A crystal with an ageing and temperature drift specification of better than ±15ppm is required.

Device Terminal Descriptions
10.3.4 Transconductance Driver Model
The crystal and its load capacitors should be viewed as a transimpedance element, whereby a current applied to one
terminal generates a voltage at the other. The transconductance amplifier in BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go uses the
voltage at its input, XTAL_IN, to generate a current at its output, XTAL_OUT. Therefore, the circuit will oscillate if the
transconductance, transimpedance product is greater than unity. For sufficient oscillation amplitude, the product
should be greater than three. The transconductance required for oscillation is defined by the relationship shown in
Equation 10.5:
3(C t1 + C trim )(C t 2 + C trim )
(2πFX )2 Rm ((C0 + Cint )(C t1 + Ct 2 + 2Ctrim ) + (Ct1 + Ctrim )(Ct 2 + Ctrim ))2
Equation 10.5: Transconductance Required for Oscillation
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go guarantees a transconductance value of at least 2mA/V at maximum drive level.
Notes:
More drive strength is required for higher frequency crystals, higher loss crystals (larger Rm) or higher capacitance
loading.
Optimum drive level is attained when the level at XTAL_IN is approximately 1V pk-pk. The drive level is
determined by the crystal driver transconductance, by setting the PS Key PSKEY_XTAL_LVL (0x241).
10.3.5 Negative Resistance Model
An alternative representation of the crystal and its load capacitors is a frequency dependent resistive element. The
driver amplifier may be considered as a circuit that provides negative resistance. For oscillation, the value of the
negative resistance must be greater than that of the crystal circuit equivalent resistance. Although the BlueCore4-ROM
Plug-n-Go crystal driver circuit is based on a transimpedance amplifier, an equivalent negative resistance may be
calculated for it with the following formula in Equation 10.6:
Rneg >
3(C t1 + Ctrim )(C t 2 + C trim )
gm (2πFX ) (C0 + Cint )((C t1 + C t 2 + 2C trim ) + (C t1 + C trim )(C t 2 + C trim ))2
2
Equation 10.6: Equivalent Negative Resistance
This formula shows the negative resistance of the BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go driver as a function of its drive strength.
The value of the driver negative resistance may be easily measured by placing an additional resistance in series with
the crystal. The maximum value of this resistor (oscillation occurs) is the equivalent negative resistance of the
oscillator.

using the RS232 protocol.(1)

Figure 10.10: Universal Asynchronous Receiver
Four signals are used to implement the UART function, as shown in Figure 10.10. When BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go
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_USB.
UART configuration parameters, such as baud rate and packet format, are set using BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go
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.

UART_TX
Device Terminal Descriptions
The UART interface is capable of resetting BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go 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 10.11. If tBRK is longer than
the value, defined by the PS Key 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, BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go can emit a break
character that may be used to wake the host.
Note:
The DFU boot loader must be loaded into the Flash device before the UART or USB interfaces can be used. This
initial flash programming can be done via the SPI.
Table 10.5 shows a list of commonly used baud rates and their associated values for the PS Key
PSKEY_UART_BAUD_RATE (0x204). There is no requirement to use these standard values. Any baud rate within

10.4.2 UART Configuration While RESET is Active
The UART interface for BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go while the chip is being held in reset is tri-state. 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 tri-state when BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go reset is de-asserted and the firmware begins to run.
10.4.3 UART Bypass Mode
Alternatively, for devices that do not tri-state the UART bus, the UART bypass mode on BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go
can be used. The default state of BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go after reset is de-asserted; this is for the host UART bus
to be connected to the BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go UART, thereby allowing communication to BlueCore4-ROM
Plug-n-Go via the UART. All UART bypass mode connections are implemented using CMOS technology and have
signalling levels of 0V and VDD_PADS.(1)
In order to apply the UART bypass mode, a BCCMD command will be issued to BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go. Upon
this issue, it will switch the bypass to PIO[7:4] as Figure 10.12 indicates. Once the bypass mode has been invoked,
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go will enter the Deep Sleep state indefinitely.
In order to re-establish communication with BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go, 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.
10.4.4 Current Consumption in UART Bypass Mode
The current consumption for a device in UART bypass mode is equal to the values quoted for a device in standby
mode.
(1)
The range of the signalling level for the standard UART described in section 10.4 and the UART bypass may differ between CSR BlueCore
devices, as the power supply configurations are chip dependent. For BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go, the standard UART is supplied by
VDD_USB, so has signalling levels of 0V and VDD_USB. Whereas in the UART bypass mode, the signals appear on PIO[4:7] which are
supplied by VDD_PADS, therefore the signalling levels are 0V and VDD_PADS.

10.5
USB Interface
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go devices contain a full speed (12Mbits/s) USB interface that 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 specification v2.0+EDR
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), BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go only
supports USB Slave operation.
10.5.1 USB Data Connections
10.5.2 USB Pull-Up Resistor
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go features an internal USB pull-up resistor. This pulls the USB_DP pin weakly high when
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go is ready to enumerate. It signals to the PC that it is a full speed (12Mbit/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 15kΩ ±5% pull-down
resistor (in the hub/host) when VDD_PADS=3.1V. This presents a Thevenin resistance to the host of at least 900Ω.
Alternatively, an external 1.5kΩ 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 PS Key PSKEY_USB_PIO_PULLUP appropriately. The
default setting uses the internal pull-up resistor.
10.5.3 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_USB supply terminals must be an absolute minimum of 3.1V. CSR
recommends 3.3V for optimal USB signal quality.

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-ROM Plug-n-Go, 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.
Device Terminal Descriptions
10.5.4 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 BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go via a resistor network (Rvb1 and Rvb2), so
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go can detect when VBUS is powered up. BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go 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 pull-up
purposes. A 1.5KΩ 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.
Device Terminal Descriptions
10.5.5 Bus-Powered Mode
In bus-powered mode, the application circuit draws its current from the 5V VBUS supply on the USB cable.
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go negotiates with the PC during the USB enumeration stage about how much current it is
allowed to consume.
For Class 2 Bluetooth applications, CSR recommends that the regulator used to derive 3.3V from VBUS is rated at
100mA average current and should be able to handle peaks of 120mA without foldback or limiting. In bus-powered
mode, BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go requests 100mA during enumeration.
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 USB Specification v1.1, section 7.2.4.1.
Some applications may require soft start circuitry to limit inrush current if more than 10µF 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 the 1.8V supply to the analogue supply pins of BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go will result
in reduced receive sensitivity and a distorted RF transmit signal.

For Class 1 Bluetooth applications, the USB power descriptor should be altered to reflect the amount of power
required. This is accomplished by setting the PS Key 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.
Device Terminal Descriptions
10.5.6 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 0.5mA from USB VBUS (self-powered devices may draw more than
0.5mA from their own supply). This current draw requirement prevents operation of the radio by bus-powered devices
during USB Suspend.
The voltage regulator circuit itself should draw only a small quiescent current (typically less than 100µA) to ensure
adherence to the suspend current requirement of the USB specification. This is not normally a problem with modern
regulators. Ensure that external LEDs and/or amplifiers can be turned off by BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go. The entire
circuit must be able to enter the suspend mode. Refer to separate CSR documentation for more details on USB
Suspend.
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go can provide out-of-band signalling 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 BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go 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 the PS Keys
PSKEY_USB_PIO_DETACH and PSKEY_USB_PIO_WAKEUP to the selected PIO number.
USB_DETACH is an input which, when asserted high, causes BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go to put USB_DN and
USB_DP in a 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, BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go
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-ROM Plug-n-Go is effectively disconnected from the bus.
Figure 10.15: USB_DETACH and USB_WAKE_UP Signal
10.5.8 USB Driver
A USB Bluetooth device driver is required to provide a software interface between BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go and
Bluetooth software running on the host computer. Suitable drivers are available from http://www.csrsupport.com.

10.5.9 USB 1.1 Compliance
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go is qualified to the USB Specification v1.1, details of which are available from www.usb.org.
The specification contains valuable information on aspects such as PCB track impedance, supply inrush current and
product labelling.
Although BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go meets the USB specification, CSR cannot guarantee that an application circuit
designed around the chip 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.
10.5.10 USB 2.0 Compatibility
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go 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.

Serial Peripheral Interface
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go uses 16-bit data and 16-bit address serial peripheral interface, where transactions may
occur when the internal processor is running or is stopped. This section details the considerations required when
interfacing to BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go via the four dedicated serial peripheral interface terminals. Data may be
written or read one word at a time or the auto increment feature may be used to access blocks.
10.6.1 Instruction Cycle
The BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go is the slave and receives commands on SPI_MOSI and outputs data on SPI_MISO.
Table 10.7 shows the instruction cycle for an SPI transaction.
Reset the SPI interface

5
Termination
Take SPI_CSB high
Table 10.7: Instruction Cycle for an SPI Transaction
With the exception of reset, SPI_CSB must be held low during the transaction. Data on SPI_MOSI is clocked into the
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go on the rising edge of the clock line SPI_CLK. When reading, BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go
will reply to the master on SPI_MISO with the data changing on the falling edge of the SPI_CLK. The master provides
the clock on SPI_CLK. The transaction is teminated by taking SPI_CSB high.
Sending a command word and the address of a register for every time it is to be read or written is a significant
overhead, especially when large amounts of data are to be transferred. To overcome this BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go
offers increased data transfer efficiency via an auto increment operation. To invoke auto increment, SPI_CSB is kept
low, which auto increments the address, while providing an extra 16 clock cycles for each extra word to be written or
read.

To write to BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go, the 8-bit write command (00000010) is sent first (C[7:0]) followed by a 16-bit
address (A[15:0]). The next 16-bits (D[15:0]) clocked in on SPI_MOSI are written to the location set by the address
(A). Thereafter for each subsequent 16-bits clocked in, the address (A) is incremented and the data written to
consecutive locations until the transaction terminates when SPI_CSB is taken high.
10.6.3 Reading from BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go
Reading from BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go is similar to writing to it. An 8-bit read command (00000011) is sent first
(C[7:0]), followed by the address of the location to be read (A[15:0]). BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go then outputs on
SPI_MISO a check word during T[15:0] followed by the 16-bit contents of the addressed location during bits D[15:0].
The check word is composed of {command, address [15:8]}. The check word may be used to confirm a read operation
to a memory location. This overcomes the problems encountered with typical serial peripheral interface slaves,
whereby it is impossible to determine whether the data returned by a read operation is valid data or the result of the
slave device not responding.
If SPI_CSB is kept low, data from consecutive locations is read out on SPI_MISO for each subsequent 16 clocks, until
the transaction terminates when SPI_CSB is taken high.
Figure 10.17: Read Operation
10.6.4 Multi-Slave Operation
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go should not be connected in a multi-slave arrangement by simple parallel connection of
slave MISO lines. When BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go is deselected (SPI_CSB = 1), the SPI_MISO line does not float.
Instead, BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go outputs 0 if the processor is running or 1 if it is stopped.

PCM CODEC Interface
Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) is a standard method used to digitise audio (particularly voice) for transmission over
digital communication channels. Through its PCM interface, BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go has hardware support for
continual transmission and reception of PCM data, thus reducing processor overhead for wireless headset
applications. BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go offers a bi-directional 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 BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go allows the data to be sent to and received from a SCO connection. (1)
Up to three SCO connections can be supported by the PCM interface at any one time.
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 the PS Key PS KEY_PCM_CONFIG32 (0x1b3).
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go interfaces directly to PCM audio devices including the following:
ƒ
Qualcomm MSM 3000 series and MSM 5000 series CDMA baseband devices
ƒ
OKI MSM7705 four channel A-law and µ-law CODEC
ƒ
Motorola MC145481 8-bit A-law and µ-law CODEC
ƒ
Motorola MC145483 13-bit linear CODEC
ƒ
STW 5093 and 5094 14-bit linear CODECs
ƒ
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go is also compatible with the Motorola SSI™ interface

10.7.2 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 BlueCore4-ROM
Plug-n-Go is configured as PCM master, generating PCM_SYNC and PCM_CLK, then PCM_SYNC is 8-bits long.
When BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go 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., 62.5µs long.

PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC Generation
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go has two methods of generating PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC in master mode. The first is
generating these signals by Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) from BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go internal 4MHz clock
(which is used in BlueCore2-External). 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 10.8 describes PCM_CLK frequency when being generated using the internal 48MHz clock:
CNT _ RATE
× 24MHz
CNT _ LIMIT
Equation 10.8: PCM_CLK Frequency When Being Generated Using the Internal 48MHz Clock
The frequency of PCM_SYNC relative to PCM_CLK can be set using Equation 10.9:
f=
PCM _ CLK
SYNC _ LIMIT × 8
Equation 10.9: PCM_SYNC Frequency Relative to PCM_CLK
CNT_RATE, CNT_LIMIT and SYNC_LIMIT are set using PSKEY_PCM_LOW_JITTER_CONFIG. As an example, to
generate PCM_CLK at 512kHz with PCM_SYNC at 8kHz, set PSKEY_PCM_LOW_JITTER_CONFIG to 0x08080177.

I/O Parallel Ports
Fifteen lines of programmable bi-directional input/outputs (I/O) are provided. PIO[11:8] and PIO[3:0] are powered from

Fifteen lines of programmable bi-directional input/outputs (I/O) are provided. PIO[11:8] and PIO[3:0] are powered from
VDD_PIO. PIO[7:4] are powered from VDD_PADS. AIO [2:0] are powered from VDD_USB.
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.
PIO[0] and PIO[1] are normally dedicated to RXEN and TXEN respectively, but they are available for general use.
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go has three general purpose analogue interface pins, AIO[0], AIO[1] and AIO[2] also known
as the extended PIO lines. These are used to access internal circuitry and control signals. One pin is allocated to
decoupling for the on-chip band gap reference voltage; the other two may be configured to provide additional
functionality.
Auxiliary functions available via these pins include an 8-bit ADC and an 8-bit DAC. Typically the ADC is used for battery
voltage measurement. Signals selectable at these pins 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 (1.8V). When configured to drive out digital level signals (e.g., clocks), the
output voltage level is determined by VDD_USB.
10.8.1 PIO Defaults for BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go
CSR 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.

Any of the PIO lines can be configured as interrupt request lines or as wake-up lines from sleep modes. PIO[6] or
PIO[2] can be configured as a request line for an external clock source. This is useful when the clock to
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go is provided from a system application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). Using
PSKEY_CLOCK_REQUEST_ENABLE (0x246), this terminal can be configured to be low when BlueCore4-ROM
Plug-n-Go is in Deep Sleep and high when a clock is required. The clock must be supplied within 4ms of the rising
edge of PIO[6] or PIO[2] to avoid losing timing accuracy in certain Bluetooth operating modes.

PIO[8:6] can be used to form a master I2C interface. The interface is formed using software to drive these lines.
Therefore, it is suited only to relatively slow functions such as driving a dot matrix liquid crystal display (LCD), keyboard
scanner or EEPROM.
Notes:
PIO lines need to be pulled-up through 2.2kΩ resistors.
PIO[7:6] dual functions, UART bypass and EEPROM support, therefore, devices using an EEPROM cannot
support UART bypass mode.

TCXO Enable OR Function
An OR function exists for clock enable signals from a host controller and BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go where either
device can turn on the clock without having to wake up the other device. PIO[3] can be used as the host clock enables
input and PIO[2] can be used as the OR output with the TCXO enable signal from BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go.

On reset and up to the time the PIO has been configured, PIO[2] will be tri-state. Therefore, the developer must ensure
that the circuitry connected to this pin is pulled via a 470kΩ resistor to the appropriate power rail. This ensures that the
TCXO is oscillating at start up.

RESET and RESETB
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go may be reset from several sources:
ƒ
RESET or RESETB pins
ƒ
Power on reset
ƒ
A UART break character
ƒ
Via a software configured watchdog timer
The power on reset occurs when the VDD_CORE supply 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 bi-directional pins and outputs are tri-state. The PIOs have weak
pull-downs.
Following a reset, BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go assumes the maximum XTAL_IN frequency, which ensures that the
internal clocks run at a safe (low) frequency until BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go is configured for the actual XTAL_IN
frequency. If no clock is present at XTAL_IN, the oscillator in BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go free runs, again at a safe
frequency.

The RESET pin is an active high reset and is internally filtered using the internal low frequency clock oscillator. A reset
will be performed between 1.5ms and 4.0ms following RESET being active. It is recommended that RESET be applied
for a period greater than 5ms. The RESETB pin is the active low version of RESET and is OR'd on-chip with the active
high RESET, with either causing the reset function.

Power Supply
10.12.1 Voltage Regulator (Plug-n-Go)
An on-chip linear voltage regulator can be used to power the 1.8V dependent supplies. It is advised that a smoothing
circuit using a 2.2µF low ESR capacitor and 2.2Ω resistor be placed on the output VDD_ANA.
In the Plug-n-Go package, an internal 2.2Ω resistor is provided between the regulator output VDD_ANA and
VDD_DIG.
The regulator is switched into a low power mode when the device is sent into Deep Sleep mode. When the on-chip
regulator is not required VDD_ANA is a 1.8V input and VREG_IN must be either open circuit or tied to VDD_ANA.
It is recommended that VDD_CORE, VDD_RADIO and VDD_ANA be powered at the same time. The order of
powering supplies for VDD_CORE, VDD_PIO, VDD_PADS and VDD_USB is not important. However, if VDD_CORE
is not present, all inputs have a weak pull-down irrespective of the reset state.
10.12.3 Sensitivity to Disturbances
CSR recommends if supplying BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go from an external voltage source that VDD_ANA and
VDD_RADIO should have less than 10mV rms noise levels between 0 to 10MHz. In addition, avoid single tone
frequencies. CSR recommends a simple RC filter for VDD_CORE, as this reduces transients put back onto the power
supply rails.
The remaining supplies VDD_MEM, VDD_PIO, VDD_PADS and VDD_USB can be connected together with the
VREG_IN to the 3.3V supply and simply decoupled as shown in Figure 13.1.
The transient response of the regulator is also important. At the start of a packet, power consumption will jump to high
levels. See the average current consumption section. The regulator should have a response time of 20µs or less; it is
essential that the power rail recovers quickly.
10.12.4 VREG_EN Pin
The regulator enable pin, VREG_EN, can be used to enable and disable the BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go device if the
on-chip regulator is being used. The pin is active high and has an internal weak pull-up to enable the regulator if
VREG_EN is not connected.
