Version 0.1 (PRELIMINARY) COPE This document describes key hardware aspects of the Laird BT830 Bluetooth HCI module. This document is intended to assist device manufacturers and related parties with the integration of this module into their host devices. Data in this document are drawn from a number of sources including data sheets for the CSR8811.
ESCRIPTIONS Figure 1: BT830 module block diagram The BT830 is based on CSR8811A08 dual mode chip. The chip is a single-chip radio with on-chip CS8811A08 LDO regulators and baseband IC for Bluetooth 2.4 GHz systems including EDR to 3 Mbps.

CSR8811 UART interface provides a simple mechanism for communicating with other serial devices using the RS-232 protocol. The above figure shows the 4 signals that implement the UART function. When BT830 is connected to another digital device, UART_RX and UART_TX transfer data between the 2 devices. The remaining 2 signals, UART_CTS and UART_RTS, implement RS232 hardware flow control where both are active low indicators.

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 BT830 is configured as PCM master, generating PCM_SYNC and PCM_CLK, then PCM_SYNC is eight bits long.
Page 14
Figure 5: Short Frame Sync (Shown with 16-bit Sample) As with Long Frame Sync, BT830 samples PCM_IN on the falling edge of PCM_CLK and transmits PCM_OUT on the rising edge. PCM_OUT is configurable as high impedance on the falling edge of PCM_CLK in the LSB position or on the rising edge.
BT830 Hardware Integration Guide Version 0.1 (PRELIMINARY) 8.5 GCI Interface BT830 is compatible with the GCI, a standard synchronous 2B+D ISDN timing interface. The two 64 kbps B channels are accessed when this mode is configured. Figure 7: Multi-slot Operation The start of frame is indicated by the rising edge of PCM_SYNC and runs at 8 kHz.

Keep all mounting hardware and metal clear of the area to allow proper antenna radiation. For best antenna performance, place the BT830 module on the edge of the host PCB, preferably in the corner with the antenna facing the corner.
Power the on Pin-9 (VREG_IN_HV) with 3.3 V and pull-high on Pin-8 (VREG_EN_RST#) to turn on the internal regulator. The BT830 module generates 1.8 V output on Pin-10 (VREG_OUT_HV) which can supply to the other DC pin of the board.
