Three basic functions including TX, RX and Crystal Trim are included in this utility. User may use this tool to perform continuous TX, Burst TX, RX BER and Crystal Clock Trimming to test Airoha AB1602 Family products. 1.1 Supported Chips The Airoha AB1602 Family Lab Test Tool supports AB1602. AB1600_V0.3 2 Environment Setup 2.1 Hardware Setup An UART interface is used for PC-to-DUT connection. User may also use an USB-to-UART adaptor at PC side and then connect to DUT side. A reference connection diagram is shown in figure 2-1. Adapter board (USB to RS232) Spectrum Analyzer or BT Device Signal Generator Figure 2-1 If an USB-to-UART adaptor made by Airoha is used (as in Figure 2-2), the J1 connector (to DUT) pin definition is shown in Figure 2-3. The VCC selection on JP12 should be set to +3.3V (with a jumper). AB1600_V0.3 Figure 2-2 +3.3V GND RTS CTS TX RX Figure 2-3 AB1600_V0.3 2.2 Software Setup If the AIROHA USB-to-UART adaptor board is used, the driver should be installed at first (PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v110.exe). When the driver is installed and the board is connected to PC, an USB-to-Serial COM port would be presented in the device manager as in figure 2-4. Figure 2-4 When installing the Airoha AB1602 will be shown during the installation. -5. AB1600_V0.3 Figure 2-5 AB1600_V0.3 3 The User Interface Figure 3-1 shows the user interface when Airoha Lab Test Tool is launched. Three regions: COM port selection & .airoha save/write, Function Tab, and Output Window are included in the user interface. COM port Selection & .airoha save/write on Tab Output Window Figure 3-1 AB1600_V0.3 Connection Process Power-on the DUT, and press the connection button of the device to enter discoverable mode. Select corresponding COM port number of DUT in the COM Select region of the Lab Test Tool, and will be shown in the output window, as in figure 3-2 and figure 3-3. Figure 3-2 Figure 3-3 If the success message is not shown, please check if the DUT is correctly powered up, the link between DUT and PC is correctly connected, and the DUT is in discover again. 4.1 Test Functions TX Test There are three modes supported in the TX Test functions, i.e. Single-tone TX, Continuous TX and Burst TX. AB1600_V0.3 Single Tone Transmission When CTX_START is selected, a continuous single-tone signal without any modulation (i.e. Carrier Only) will be sent out at RF port. User may first set different RF frequency and TX power setting on the from 2402 to 2480, and Tx GC ranges from 16 to 63. To save the current Tx GC setting, click the Write to EEPROM button. Figure 4-1 Single tone transmission setting of Tx Tab Continuous Data Transmission When CTX_DATA is selected, a continuous modulated signal will be sent out at RF port. User may first set different RF frequency, TX power setting, and choose modulation type with data format on the from 2402 to 2480, and Tx GC ranges from 16 to 63. The data format supports all 0, all 1, 1010, and PN. GFSK, 1/4pi-DQPSK, and D8PSK are supported for the modulation type. To save the current Tx GC setting, click the Write to EEPROM button. AB1600_V0.3 Figure 4-2 Continuous data transmission setting of Tx Tab AB1600_V0.3 Burst Data Transmission When BTX_PACKET is selected, a burst-type modulated signal will be sent out at RF port. User may select a RF frequency for transmit. Then set TX GC value, packet type (DH1, DH3, DH5, 2-DH1, 2-DH3, 2-DH5, 3-DH1, 3-DH3 and 3-DH5 are supported) and Data type (all 0, all 1, 1010, 11110000 and PN) and To save the current Tx GC setting, click the Write to EEPROM button. Figure 4-3 Burst data transmission setting of Tx Tab This function is enabled by sending continuous fixed channel BTx command. You could set the sending stop it. LE Transmitter Test AB1600_V0.3 Figure 4-4 LE Transmitter Test setting of Tx Tab AB1600_V0.3 4.2 RX Test Two RX modes, continuous receiving and burst receiving, are supported in the RX Test function. The former is used for CE/FCC tests, and the later is used for bit error rate (BER) calculation. Continuous Data Receiving Figure 4-5 Continuous Data Receiving setting of Rx Tab to start continuous receiving. The RF frequency ranges from 2402 to 2480. AB1600_V0.3 Burst Data Receiving Figure 4-6 Burst Data Receiving setting of Rx Tab receiving. In order to measure BER, a signal generator is required to generate Bluetooth standard packets and transmitted to the DUT. The associated settings of the signal generator must be set as follows, BD address = 0x006BC6967E LT_ADDR = 7 Payload data = PN9 with initial seed = 0x01FF If the transmitted data of signal generator is successfully received and decoded by DUT, a group of BER test results will be shown in the output window including: (as in figure 4-6) BER(%): Bit error rate Bits: Number of received data bits #RPkt: Number of received packets #EPkt: Number of expected packets #ACloss: Number of packets with AC_Loss #Hdr: Number of packets with header error #CRC: Number of packets with CRC error RSSI: Received Signal Strength Indication AB1600_V0.3 Figure 4-7 BER results LE Receiver Test Figure 4-8 LE Receiver test setting of Rx Tab AB1600_V0.3 4.3 Crystal Trim When a 16MHz crystal is used on the DUT, user may adjust cap value to fine tune the output tuned cap value into EEPROM. Whenever DUT is powered on, the parameters in EEPROM will be read out and write into DUT, thus the output 16MHz reference clock frequency could be set to the trimmed value. The crystal trimming can be performed either by a spectrum analyzer or a frequency counter. The method is described below, Figure 4-9 Crystal Trim function When a spectrum analyzer is used: -tone RF signal at 2441MHz. Using spectrum analyzer to measure the frequency of the tone at RF output port, and then fine-tune the cap value until the carrier frequency offset is less than (2.4 G * n ppm) Hz. (n ppm is the reference clock accuracy spec of the Bluetooth specifications) When a frequency counter is used: Measure the clock with a frequency counter, and then fine-tune the cap value until the reference clock frequency offset is less than (16 M * n PPM) Hz. (n ppm is the reference clock accuracy spec of the Bluetooth specifications) AB1600_V0.3 ed cap value to EEPROM. AB1600_V0.3 4.4 Test Mode AB1500 supports entering test mode by UART. Figure 4-10 Enter Test Mode function Do not click Enable COM port because test mode conflicts with LAB test mode If DUT is already in LAB test mode, reset it before entering test mode function.
