 CMM-9301-V4.4 Bluetooth Low Energy HCI Module         SPEC No. CMM-9301-V4.4   BLE HCI module Revision 3.4 State 2017-06-30 C-MAX printed  2017-07-03 Version English Page 3 of 16  C-MAX 1.3  SPI Interface with External Controller  The module can be integrated as a part of any Bluetooth LE product and serves as a companion to an external controller with a BLE corestack, acting as an RF front end inclusive of the Physical Layer, Link Layer and Host Controller Interface as defined in the Bluetooth 4.0 specification. The module interfaces with the external controller and BLE corestack via SPI link utilizing HCI command sets form the Bluetooth 4.0 standard.  The SPI used is a 5-wire, 8-bit, MSB-first, Motorola-compatible with CPOL=0 and CPHA=0 interface. Only half-duplex transport is supported.   The SPI interface is defined through the following pins:        CSN: Chip select signal. This signal is active low and it is mandatory, even when only one slave device is connected to the host.         SPI_SCK: SPI clock signal. When CSN is active, the host shall send to the controller a multiple of 8 clock cycles (and bits) during each SPI transaction. When CSN is not active, CMM-9301 module ignores any signal sent to this pin. This allows the host to set a clock signal to serve other devices.         SPI_MOSI: host-to-controller transfer data line. The host shall generate data on the negative edge and sample data on the positive edge of SPI_SCK signal. SPI data shall be sent in byte format, with most significant bit (MSB) first.         S PI_MISO: controller-to-host transfer data line. When CSN is active, the controller generates data on the negative edge and sample data on the positive edge of SPI_SCK signal. When CSN is inactive, the controller sets this output in tri-state mode. SPI data is sent in byte format, with most significant bit (MSB) first.         IRQ: interrupt request. This signal is set by the controller when an event needs to be sent to the host. This signal is active high.   The CMM-9301-V4.4 module follows a proprietary flow control over SPI, both from host to controller and from controller to host. Each SPI transaction shall be done for 8 bits of data.
