BT/FM Host Interface The AW-NH930 is the optimal solution for any voice or data application that requires the Bluetooth SIG standard Host Controller Interface (HCI) using a high-speed UART. The FM subsystem and the Bluetooth subsystem share the same high-speed UART  2-4-1. UART Interface The UART physical interface is a standard, 4-wire interface (RX, TX, RTS, CTS ) with adjustable baud rates from 9600 bps to 4.0 Mbps. The interface defaults to a baud rate of 115.2 Kbps coming out of reset. The desired high-speed baud rate may be selected via a vendor-specific UART HCI command. The AW-NH930 has a 480-byte receive FIFO and a 480-byte transmits FIFO to support EDR. The interface supports the Bluetooth 2.1 UART HCI (H4) specification. The default baud rate for H4 is 115.2 k baud. In order to support both high and low baud rates efficiently, the UART clock can be selected as either 24 or 48 MHz. Generally, the higher speed clock is needed for baud rates over 3 M baud, however a lower speed clock may be used to achieve a more accurate baud rate under 3 M baud. The legacy method of programming the high-speed baud rate of the AW-NH930 UART using DHBR and DLBR values is also supported for backward compatibility with previous-generation Bluetooth devices. Normally, the UART baud rate is set by a configuration record downloaded after reset, or by automatic baud rate detection and the host does not need to adjust the baud rate. Support for changing the baud rate during normal HCI UART operation is included through a vendor-specific command that allows the host to adjust the contents of the baud rate registers. The AW-NH930 UART operates correctly with the host UART, provided the combined baud rate error of the two devices is within ±5% -10-

 2-4-2. PCM Interface   The PCM Interface on the AW-NH930 can connect to linear PCM Codec devices in master or slave mode. In master mode, the AW-NH930 generates the BT_PCM_CLK and BT_PCM_SYNC signals, and in slave mode, these signals are provided by another master on the PCM interface and are inputs to the AW-NH930. The AW-NH930 supports up to three SCO or eSCO channels through the PCM Interface and each channel can be independently mapped to any of the available slots in a frame. The configuration of the PCM interface may be adjusted by the host through the use of Vendor Specific HCI Commands.  2-4-2.1.

SDIO Timing  The AW-NH930 has an internal power-on reset (POR) circuit. The device will be held in reset for a maximum of 110 ms after VDDC and VDDIO have both passed the 0.6V threshold. Wait at least 110 ms after VDD_CORE and VDDIO are available before initiating SDIO accesses. The external reset signals are logically ORed with this POR. So if either the internal POR or one of the external resets is asserted, the device will be in reset.  -16-

 2-6. LPO Clock (RTC_CLK)    2-7. Power-On Sequence  The AW-NH931 has four signals that allow the host to control power consumption by enabling or disabling the Bluetooth, WLAN and internal regulator blocks. These signals are described below. Additionally, diagrams are provided to indicate proper sequencing of the signals for carious operating states. The timing value indicated are minimum required values: longer delays are also acceptable.  Note:  The WL_SHUTDOWN_N and BT_SHUTDOWN_N are ORed in the AW-NH931. The diagrams show both signals going high at the same time (as would be the case if both SHUTDOWN signals were controlled by a single host GPIO). If two independent host GPIOs are used (on for WL_SHUTDOWN_N and one for BT_SHUTDOWN_N), then only one of two signals needs to be high to enable the AW-NH931 regulators.  Also note that the reset requirements for the Bluetooth core are also applicable for the FM core. In other words, if FM is to be used, then the Bluetooth core must be enabled.  WL_SHUTDOWN_N:  Used by the PMU (along with BT_SHUTDOWN_N) to decide whether to power down the internal AW-NH931 regulators. If both the BT_SHUTDOWN_N and WL_SHUTDOWN_N pins are low, the regulators will be disabled. BT_SHUTDOWN_N:  Used by the PMU (along with WL_SHUTDOWN_N) to decide whether to power down the internal AW-NH931 regulators. If both the BT_SHUTDOWN_N and WL_SHUTDOWN_N pins are low, the regulators will be disabled. -19-
