FLC-BTM403 Datasheet Flaircomm Microelectronics Confidential -12- 4. Physical Interfaces 4.1 Power Supply The transient response of the regulator is important. If the power rails of the module are supplied from an external voltage source, the transient response of any regulator used should be 20μs or less. It is essential that the power rail recovers quickly. 4.2 Reset The module may be reset from several sources: RESET pin, power-on reset, a UART break character or via a software configured watchdog timer. 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 1.5 and 4.0ms following RESET being active. It is recommended that RESET be applied for a period greater than 5ms. The module has an internal reset circuitry, which keeps reset pin active until supply voltage has reached stability in the start up. This ensures that supply for the flash memory inside the module will reach stability before BC4 chip fetches instructions from it. Pull-up or pull-down resistor should not be connected to the reset pin to ensure proper star up of module. 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.

FLC-BTM403 Datasheet Flaircomm Microelectronics Confidential -13- Note: Pull-up (PU) and pull-down (PD) default to weak values unless specified otherwise. 4.3 Digital Audio Interfaces The module has offered PCM digital audio interface. PCM is a standard method used to digitize audio (particularly voice) for transmission over digital communication channels. Through its PCM interface, the module has hardware support for continual transmission and reception of PCM data, thus reducing processor overhead for applications. The module 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 the module 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. The module 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. The module 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 8k samples/s and can receive and transmit on any selection of three of the first four slots following PCM_SYNC. The module interfaces directly to PCM audio devices including the following:  Qualcomm MSM 3000 series and MSM 5000 series CDMA baseband devices  channels A-law and µ-law CODEC  -bit A-law and µ-law CODEC  -bit linear CODEC  -bit linear CODECs The module is also compatible with the Motorola SSI™ interface. 4.3.1 PCM Interface Master/Slave When PCM is configured as a master, the module generates PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC.
FLC-BTM403 Datasheet Flaircomm Microelectronics Confidential -14- Figure 3: Configured PCM as a Master When PCM is configured as the slave, the module accepts PCM_CLK rates up to 2048kHz. Figure 4: Configured PCM as a Slave 4.3.2 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 the module is configured as PCM master, generating PCM_SYNC and PCM_CLK, then PCM_SYNC is 8-bits long. When the module 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.
FLC-BTM403 Datasheet Flaircomm Microelectronics Confidential -15- Figure 5: Long Frame Sync (Shown with 8-bit Companded Sample) 4.3.3 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. Figure 6: Short Frame Sync (Shown with 16-bit Sample) As with Long Frame Sync, the module 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. 4.3.4 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.
FLC-BTM403 Datasheet Flaircomm Microelectronics Confidential -16- Figure 7: Multi-Slot Operation with Two Slots and 8-bit Companded Samples 4.3.5 GCI Interface The module is compatible with the General Circuit Interface (GCI), a standard synchronous 2B+D ISDN timing interface. The two 64Kbps B channels can be accessed when this mode is configured. Figure 8: GCI Interface The start of a frame is indicated by the rising edge of PCM_SYNC and runs at 8kHz. With the module in slave mode, the frequency of PCM_CLK can be up to 4.096MHz. 4.3.6 Slots and Sample Formats The module 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. The module supports 13-bit linear, 16-bit linear and 8-bit µ-law or A-law sample formats. The sample rate is 8k samples/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.
FLC-BTM403 Datasheet Flaircomm Microelectronics Confidential -17- Figure 9: 16-Bit Slot Length and Sample Formats 4.3.7 Additional Features The module 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. 4.3.8 PCM Timing Information Symbol Parameter Min Typical Max Unit fmclk PCL_CLK Frequency 4MHz DDS generation.

The user can connect a 50ohms antenna directly to the RF port. 4.5 General Purpose Analogue IO The general purpose analogue IO can be configured as ADC inputs by software. Do not connect them if not use. 4.6 General Purpose Digital IO The general purpose digital IO can be configured by software to have various functions such as button, LED or interrupt signals to host controller. Do not connect them if not use. 4.7 Serial Interfaces 4.7.1 UART This is a standard Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) interface for communicating with other serial devices. Four signals UART_TX, UART_RX, UART_CTS, and UART_RTS are used to implement the UART function, UART_CTS, UART_RTS can be used to implement hardware flow control. PIO2 and PIO3 can be configured as DTR and RTS.
FLC-BTM403 Datasheet Flaircomm Microelectronics Confidential -22- Table 7: Possible UART Settings 4.7.2 USB There is a full speed (12M bits/s) USB interface for communicating with other compatible digital devices. The module acts as a USB peripheral, responding to request from a master host controller, such as a PC. The module features an internal USB pull-up resistor. This pulls the USB_DP pin weakly high when module is ready to enumerate. It signals to the USB master 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 =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 DP on the USB cable. 4.7.2.1 Self-Powered Mode In self-powered mode, the module 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 module via a resistor network (Rvb1 and Rvb2), so the module can detect when VBUS is powered up. The module will not pull USB_DP high when VBUS is off. Self-powered USB designs (powered from a battery or LDO) 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 the module is only suitable for bus-powered USB devices, e.g., dongles. Parameter Possible Values Baud Rate Minimum 1200 baud (≤2%Error) 9600 baud (≤1%Error) Maximum 3M baud (≤1%Error) Flow Control RTS/CTS or None Parity None, Odd or Even Number of Stop Bits 1 or 2 Bits per Byte 8

Identifier Value Function Rs 27Ω Nominal Impedance matching to USB cable Rvb1 22kΩ 5% VBUS ON sense divider Rvb2 47kΩ 5% VBUS ON sense divider Table 8: USB Interface Component Values 4.7.2.2 Bus-Powered Mode In bus-powered mode, the application circuit draws its current from the 5V VBUS supply on the USB cable. The module negotiates with the PC during the USB enumeration stage about how much current it is allowed to consume. For Class 2 Bluetooth applications, FLC 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, the module requests 100mA during enumeration. For Class 1 Bluetooth applications, the USB power descriptor should be altered to reflect the amount of power required. This is higher than for a Class 2 application due to the extra current drawn by the Transmit RF PA. 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.
FLC-BTM403 Datasheet Flaircomm Microelectronics Confidential -24- Figure 15: USB Connections for Bus-Powered Mode 4.7.3 I2C PIO5, PIO7 and PIO6 can be used to form a master I2C interface. The interface is formed using software to drive these lines. It is suited only to relatively slow functions such as driving a LCD, Keyboard, scanner or EEPROM. In the case, PIO lines need to be pulled up through 2.2Kohm resistors. VDD Figure 16: Example EEPROM Connection with I2C Interface 4.7.4 SPI he synchronous serial port interface (SPI) can be used for system debugging. It can also be used for in-system programming for the flash memory within the module. SPI interface uses the SPI_MOSI, SPI_MISO, SPI_CSB and SPI_CLK pins. Testing points for the SPI interface are reserved on board in case that the firmware shall be updated during manufacture. The module operates as a slave and thus SPI_MISO is an output of the module. SPI_MISO is not in high-impedance state when SPI_CSB is pulled high. Instead, the module outputs 0 if the processor is
FLC-BTM403 Datasheet Flaircomm Microelectronics Confidential -25- running and 1 if it is stopped. Thus the module should NOT be connected in a multi-slave arrangement by simple parallel connection of slave SPI_MISO lines. The SPI interface is needed when debugging the Bluetooth functions so please leave test points/pads as shown in Figure 17 on PCB.

Recommended PCB Layout and Mounting Pattern A very important factor in achieving maximum Bluetooth performance is the placement of a module with on-board antenna designs onto the carrier board and corresponding PCB layout. There should be no any trace, ground and vias in the area of the carrier board underneath the module’s on-board antenna section as indicated in Figure 20. Antenna portion of the module must be placed at least 20mm away from any metal part and the antenna should not be covered by any piece of metal. The antenna of the module MUST be kept as far from potential noise sources as possible and special care must also be taken with placing the module in proximity to circuitry that can emit heat. The RF part of the module is very sensitive to temperature and sudden changes can have an adverse impact on performance. Figure 20: Leave 20mm Clearance Space from the Module Built-in chip Antenna

The data here is given only for guidance on solder reflow. 210 217 ℃ 250 A B C D 1 2 0 25 3 4 5 6 min E Figure 21: Recommended Reflow Profile Pre-heat zone (A) — This zone raises the temperature at a controlled rate, typically 0.5 – 2 C/s. The purpose of this zone is to preheat the PCB board and components to 120 ~ 150 C. This stage is required to distribute the heat uniformly to the PCB board and completely remove solvent to reduce the heat shock to components. Equilibrium Zone 1 (B) — In this stage the flux becomes soft and uniformly encapsulates solder particles and spread over PCB board, preventing them from being re-oxidized. Also with elevation of temperature and liquefaction of flux, each activator and rosin get activated and start eliminating oxide film formed on the surface of each solder particle and PCB board. The temperature is recommended to be 150 to 210 for 60 to 120 second for this zone. Equilibrium Zone 2 (c) (optional) — In order to resolve the upright component issue, it is recommended to keep the temperature in 210 – 217  for about 20 to 30 second. Reflow Zone (D) — The profile in the figure is designed for Sn/Ag3.0/Cu0.5. It can be a reference for other lead-free solder. The peak temperature should be high enough to achieve good wetting but not so high as to cause component discoloration or damage. Excessive soldering time can lead to intermetallic growth which can result in a brittle joint. The recommended peak temperature (Tp) is 230 ~ 250 C. The soldering time should be 30 to 90 second when the temperature is above 217 C. Cooling Zone (E) — The cooling ate should be fast, to keep the solder grains small which will give a longerlasting joint. Typical cooling rate should be 4 C.
