Embedded Intelligent Bluetooth™ Serial Module
Part Number: BISMS02BI-01
1. General Description
Ezurio’s Embedded Intelligent Bluetooth Serial Module is a fully integrated and qualified Class 1 Bluetooth solution
designed for lowest cost of integration and ownership for designers wishing to include Bluetooth functionality in
their products. The module is qualified to Bluetooth Version 2.0.
The Embedded Intelligent Bluetooth Serial Module is designed to give a rugged solution that is ideal for industrial
automation and ruggedised handheld devices. It works over a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The
physical form of the module allows designers to mount the antenna section of the module outside a screened
enclosure.
The Embedded Intelligent Serial Module is based on Cambridge Silicon Radio’s BlueCore4 chipset. The module
contains all of the hardware and firmware for a complete Bluetooth solution, requiring no further components.
The Module has an integrated, high performance antenna which is matched with the Bluetooth RF and baseband
circuitry. The firmware integrated into the module implements the higher layer Bluetooth protocol stack, up to
and including the Generic Access Profile (GAP), Service Discovery Profile (SDAP), Serial Port Profile (SPP) and
Audio Gateway. A virtual processor is used within the BC04 to implement an AT command processor. This
interfaces to the host system over a straight forward serial port using an extensive range of AT commands. The
AT command set abstracts the Bluetooth protocol from the host application, saving many months of programming
and integration time. It provides extremely short integration times for data oriented cable replacement and voice
applications. A low cost development system and integrated RS232 products with the same firmware are
available for fast product evaluation and development.
An alternative version of firmware is available that provides support for multi-point applications.
The Module can be configured so that it can be attached to a ‘dumb’ terminal or attached to a PC or PDA for cable
replacement applications.
In addition to the Bluetooth functionality, The Embedded Intelligent Serial Module provides access to 6 General
I/O lines and one ADC input. These can be configured to extend the UART control or to provide connection to
simple devices such as switches or LEDs without requiring any external processing. The GPIO lines can be
accessed either via the wired host UART connection, or remotely over the Bluetooth link. Support is also provided
for a PCM connection to an external audio codec.
The Embedded Intelligent Bluetooth Module is supplied in a small form factor PCB (17.7mm x 46.0mm x 5.0mm),
that solders directly. The module includes a high sensitivity, high gain antenna which provides excellent range.
Typical open field performance provides ranges of over 250 metres at transmit powers of 4mW.
Support is provided for low power modes that make the Embedded Intelligent Bluetooth Module particularly
applicable to battery powered installations.
The Embedded Intelligent Bluetooth Module is Lead-free and RoHS compliant and supports an industrial operating
temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Notes:
* The reset line has a fixed 10kOhm pull up resistor with the reset being active low.
PIO lines can be configured through software to be either inputs or outputs with weak or strong pull-ups or pull-
downs. At reset, all PIO lines are configured as inputs with weak pull-downs.
UART_RX, UART_TX, UART_CTS, UART_RTS, UART_RI, UART_DCD and UART_DSR are all 3.0v level logic. For
example, when RX and TX are idle they will be sitting at 3.0V. Conversely for handshaking pins CTS, RTS, RI,
DCD, DSR a 0v is treated as an assertion.
Pin 22 (UART_RI) is active low. It is normally 3.0v. When a remote device initiates a connection, this pin goes
low. This means that when this pin is converted to RS232 voltage levels it will have the correct voltage level for
assertion.
Pin 21 (UART_DCD) is active low. It is normally 3.0v. When a connection is live this pin is low. This means that
when this pin is converted to RS232 voltage levels it will have the correct voltage level for assertion.
Pin 28 (UART_DSR) is an input, with active low logic. It should be connected to the DTR output of the host. When
the Module is in high speed mode (See definition for S Register 507), this pin should be asserted by the host to
ensure that the connection is maintained. A deassertion is taken to mean that the connection should be dropped,
or an online command mode is being requested.
The GPIO pins can be accessed using S Registers in the range 623 to 629. GPIO4 and 5 are connected to
unpopulated LED pads on the module. If these I/O pins are set for input, then the LED will be driven by the host
and appropriate drive current requirements must be satisfied. A Logic 1 switches on the LED.
GPIO3 is shares the pin with DTR output (active low). See S Register 552 & 553.
Analogue 0 input should not exceed 1.8v. S Register 701 is used to access it.

The module contains a power on reset circuit that ensures the module is reset at power on. The internal reset
circuit is triggered when the input voltage to the module drops below ~1.7V and is hence only suitable for
providing a power on reset signal. If the supply voltage to the module can drop below the minimum voltage level
in normal operation, then it is recommended that an external brownout circuit is provided to assert the module
reset and to ensure that the module is reset when the module supply voltage drops below 3.1V.
This will ensure that the module will return to an operational state when the supply voltage comes back within
specification. For example, if the module supply can drop to 2.7V and then be restored to 3.3V there is no
guarantee that the module will still be operational unless the reset signal has been asserted.

Terminology:
USB Signal Levels. vdd_usb refers to the internal voltage generated by the LDO regulator on the module, which
is typically 3.1V. Hence 0.3vdd_usb and 0.7vdd_usb correspond to 0.9 V to 2.1V. If Vcc falls below the
recommended minimum of 3.3V, USB operation cannot be guaranteed.
The USB lines cannot be accessed when using AT firmware.
4. I/O Characteristics
4.1 Power Consumption
The current drain from the Vcc power input line is dependent on various factors. The three most significant factors
are the voltage level at Vcc, UART Baudrate and the operating mode.
The hardware specification for the Module allows for a voltage range of 3.3 to 7.0 at Vcc. Tests have shown that
where power drain is an issue, it is best to keep Vcc at the lower end of the range.
The UART Baudrate has a bearing on power drain because as is normal for digital electronics, the power
requirements increase linearly with increasing clocking frequencies. Hence higher baudrates result in a higher
current drain.
Finally with regards to operating mode the significant modes are; idle, waiting for a connection, inquiring,
initiating a connection, sniff and connected. With connected mode, it is also relevant to differentiate between no
data being transferred and when data is being transferred at the maximum rate possible. The AT command Set
document describes how to configure the Module for optimal power performance.

6. Functional Description
The Embedded Intelligent Bluetooth module is a self-contained Bluetooth product and requires only power to
implement full Bluetooth communication. The integrated, high performance antenna together with the RF and
Base-band circuitry provides the Bluetooth wireless link and the UART interface provides a connection to the host
system.
The variety of interfaces and the AT command set allow the Embedded Intelligent Bluetooth Module to be used for
a wide number of short range wireless applications, from simple cable replacement to complex multipoint
applications, where multiple radio links are active at the same time.
The complexity and flexibility of configuration are made simple for the design engineer by the integration of an
extremely comprehensive set of AT commands, supplemented with a range of “S” registers which are used for
non-volatile storage of system parameters. These are fully documented in the “Blu2i AT Command Reference
Manual”.
6.1 Interfaces
6.1.1 UART interface
UART_TX, UART_RX, UART_RTS and UART_CTS form a conventional asynchronous serial data port with
handshaking. The interface is designed to operate correctly when connected to other UART devices such as the
16550A. The signalling levels are nominal 0V and 3.0V and are inverted with respect to the signalling on an
RS232 cable. The interface is programmable over a variety of baud rates; no, even or odd parity. The default
condition on power-up is pre-assigned in the external Flash. Two-way hardware flow control is implemented by
UART_RTS and UART_CTS. UART_RTS is an output and is active low. UART_CTS is an input and is active low.
These signals operate according to normal industry convention.
By writing different values to the relevant S register the UART_RI can be continuously polled to detect incoming
communication. The UART_RI signal serves to indicate incoming calls.
UART_DSR is an active low input. It should be connected to DTR output of the host. When the module is running
in high speed mode (See definition for S Reg 507), this pin should be asserted by the host to ensure connection is
maintained. A de-assertion is taken to mean that the connection should be dropped, or an online command mode
is being requested.
The module communicates with the customer application using the following signals:

RS-232
Port /TXD @ application sends data to the module’s UART_RX signal line
Port /RXD @ application receives data from the module’s UART_TX signal line
Figure 6.1 : UART interfaces
Note that the serial module output is at 3.0V CMOS logic levels. Level conversion must be added to interface with
an RS-232 level compliant interface.
6.1.2 GPIO Port
Eight lines of programmable bi-directional input/outputs (I/O) are provided that can be accessed either via the
UART port, or Over The Air (OTA) from a second Bluetooth unit. These can be used as data inputs or to control
external equipment. By using these in OTA mode, an embedded Bluetooth Serial module can be used for control
and data acquisition without the need for any additional host processor. A further line can be used as an input.
Each of the GPIO ports can be independently configured to be either an Input or Output. A selection of ports can
be accessed synchronously.
The ports are powered from VCC. The mode of these lines can be configured and the lines are accessed via S
Registers in the range 623 to 629.
Low latency I/O can be accessed by using Ezurio’s I/O via an enhanced inquiry process.
6.1.3 PCM CODEC Interface
PCM_OUT, PCM_IN, PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC carry up to three bi-directional channels of voice data, each at
8ksamples/s. The format of the PCM samples can be 8-bit A-law, 8-bit µ-law, 13-bit linear or 16-bit linear. The
PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC terminals can be configured as inputs or outputs, depending on whether the module is
the Master or Slave of the PCM interface.
In applications where the PCM master cannot supply a clock signal, the module can be configured to generate a
clock signal on this GPIO: PCM_SLVCLK. Please contact an Ezurio FAE for further details.
The Module is compatible with the Motorola SSI TM interface and interfaces directly to PCM audio devices
including the following:
6.1.3.1 Compatible Codec Chips
• Qualcomm MSM 3000 series and MSM 5000 series CDMA baseband devices
• OKI MSM7705 four channel A-law and µ-law CODEC
• Motorola MC145481 8-bit A-law and µ-law CODEC
• Motorola MC145483 13-bit linear CODEC
www.ezurio.com DSH_BT024-00200_1v5 © Ezurio Ltd 2006 10
6.1.4 ADC
The module provides access to one 8-bit ADC. This provides an input range of 0mV to 1,800mV, which can be
read using S register 701.
Suitable external scaling and over-voltage protection should be incorporated in your design. The module provides
5 samples per second at the UART with a baud rate of 115,200 or above.
Low latency access of the upper 6 bits of the ADCs can be obtained by using Ezurio’s I/O via an enhanced inquiry
process.
6.1.5 LEDs
Pads are provided to allow two LEDs to be added for diagnostic purposes. They are controlled by an S registers
624 and 625 to display the status of various parameters and are useful for debug and test.
7. Integrated Firmware
7.1 General
The Embedded Intelligent Serial Module has been designed to provide the fastest route to market for designers
who wish to use Bluetooth to wirelessly enable their products. To achieve this Ezurio has implemented a wide
ranging set of AT commands that control all of the standard Bluetooth tasks. These remove the complexity of
Bluetooth from the design engineer and allow the wireless link to be controlled by means of a simple set of
commands.
For applications where multiple concurrent live connections need to be maintained a variant of firmware is
available which is specifically targeted at multipoint operation.
For both applications a comprehensive range of windows based software is available to speed up the design
process. A low cost development kit is also available that can be used for prototyping both cable replacement
and multipoint applications.
7.2 Profiles
Bluetooth has been designed to accommodate a very wide range of wireless applications. To enable these
different applications the Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group) has defined a series of different profiles that
define the way in which Bluetooth devices communicate with each other and perform basic functions. These
provide a base line of interoperability for specific application scenarios, upon which more complex user
applications can be developed.
There are over 30 different profiles, many of which have been developed for specific applications. The Embedded
Intelligent Serial Module firmware is provided with support for the profiles that are most commonly required for
cable replacement applications.
The current profiles support includes:
GAP Generic Access Profile The base connection profile upon which others are based.
SDP Service Discovery Profile The profile to find other Bluetooth devices and the services
they support.
SPP Emulation of a serial cable for cable replacement applications.
DUN Dial Up Networking Profile support for connection to an external PSTN, GSM, GPRS
or VPN connection.
AG Audio Gateway The base element for Headset and Handsfree profile. A portion
of these profiles must be implemented within the host system.
HSP Headset Profile Supports early implementations of headsets. Now largely
replaced by the:
HFP Hands-free profile which provides more control over the headset operation.
FTP File Transfer Profile (full client support).
For other profile support, please contact EZURiO at blu2i@ezurio.com

7.3 AT Overview
The AT command set is well known by engineers and was developed to aid the integration of PSTN modems. It
provides simple high level commands for complex functions that can easily be incorporated into programs or used
within programming scripts.
Ezurio has used this familiar concept and extended it to Bluetooth to simplify the integration of Bluetooth for
product designers. Rather than having to understand the many stages of setting up a Bluetooth connection or
function, a single AT command is all that is required.
For example to connect to a Bluetooth device with an address 00809844EA13, all that is needed is to send the
string
ATD00809844EA13
to the UART of the Embedded Intelligent Bluetooth Module. The module will attempt to make a connection and
return (connect 00809844ea13,1101) or (NO CARRIER), depending on whether the connection was successful.
The scope of the AT command set developed by Ezurio is such that most Bluetooth functionality can be covered,
greatly reducing development time.
To provide additional functionality a range of “S” registers has been implemented. These allow program settings
to be stored to control the Embedded Intelligent Serial Module function and also give access to configuring and
reading ports and status registers within the Embedded Intelligent Serial Module.
Full details of the AT command set are provided in the Blu2i AT Command Reference Manual.
7.3.1 AT features at a glance
7.3.1.1 General
• Configure two modules to automatically connect and transfer data, audio or a combination of
data and audio when both devices are powered. The peer device does not have to be another Intelligent

7.3.1.5 Power Management
• Decrease or increase the output power to suit your connection range
• Configure the modules to work in Sniff and other low power modes.
7.4 Multipoint Firmware
For multipoint operation, the appropriate firmware can be enabled. Whereas the firmware for single point ‘AT’
communication only allows one connection to be active at any one time, using multipoint firmware allows a
number of simultaneous connections to be made and maintained. It also allows connections to multiple profiles to
one or more devices. Multipoint firmware should be seen as a concept of channels instead of slave connections.
When operating in Bluetooth multipoint mode, the resources and bandwidth of a Bluetooth master device are
shared amongst the different connected devices. This has an impact on the maximum throughput to any one
device. If multiple device connections are maintained it also impacts on the memory resources and device
database within the Bluetooth stack. Designers should be aware of these restrictions when using multipoint
configurations. In most cases better latency and power consumption can be achieved by polling or fast data
transfer rather than by maintaining concurrent connections.
In general, multipoint connections are viable for up to three connections, but other connection schemes become
appropriate if a greater number of devices are being deployed.
7.5 OTA (Over the Air) Configuration
When the Embedded Intelligent Serial Module has its remote AT parser enabled, its settings can be remotely
controlled by a master unit (see register S536). This places the slave unit’s AT parser in remote mode providing
over the air configuration. This mode is of use for remote sensor applications, where no host processor is
required to control the slave Bluetooth unit.
7.6 Boot modes
The module has the capability of booting into 1 of 4 modes. Currently only Boot Modes 1 and 3 are supported.
Boot Mode 1 is default and gives functionality equivalent to the BISM1 and BISM2 module.
Boot Mode 3 changes the PCM configuration for use with OKI codecs.
These modes will be used to specify alternative PSKEY settings to allow for different basic operation. Please
contact Ezurio for further information.

8. Low Power Modes
The current drain from the Vcc power input line is dependent on various factors. The three most significant factors
are the voltage level at Vcc, UART baud rate and the operating mode.
The hardware specification for the Embedded Intelligent Bluetooth Module allows for a voltage range of 3.3 to
7.0v at Vcc. Tests have shown that there is no significant difference in current draw when Vcc is 5 or 6V.
The UART baud rate has a bearing on power drain because as is normal for digital electronics, the power
requirements increase linearly with increasing clocking frequencies. Hence higher baud rates result in a higher
current drain.
Finally with regards to operating mode the significant modes are; idle, waiting for a connection, inquiring,
initiating a connection and connected. With connected mode, it is also relevant to differentiate between no data
being transferred and when data is being transferred at the maximum rate possible.
The operating mode can best be described by stating the AT commands required to enter that mode. In addition,
there are certain S Registers which have a direct impact on power consumption, which are described next.
The Embedded Intelligent Bluetooth Module has provision for an LED which can be configured to display
connection status. Tests have shown that this LED can consume up to 5.3mA which is more than double the
current draw when in Idle mode. S Register 534 can be used to completely disable this indicator.
S Registers 508 to 511, which specify the page and inquiry scan intervals and windows, can be used to adjust the
average current drain when in discoverable and or connectable modes. Registers 508 and 509 specify the interval
and window for page scans and registers 510 and 511 specify the interval and window for inquiry scans. Register
pairs 508/509 and 510/511 describe duty cycles when the module goes into scan modes. It is while scanning that
the highest current draw occurs. The average current draw is determined by simple arithmetic using the values
stored in the 508/509 and 510/511 register pairs.
The current drain while waiting for a connection or discoverable mode is about 30 times higher than in idle mode.
This is when the page/inquiry scan duty cycle is 100%. These modes give the quickest response to a page or
inquiry request from a remote peer.
It is possible to reduce the duty cycle down to as low as 0.5% at the expense of response time. The response
time can be specified via S Registers 508 and 510 for page and inquiry respectively, where the worst case
response time can be as high as 2.5 seconds. Then the duty cycle can be varied by changing the value of S
Registers 509 and 511 appropriately.
For example, if S Register 508 and 510 are both set to 1000ms and S Register 509 and 511 are both set to 11ms
then the duty cycle is reduced to 1%, this means that average current drain at 5.0v will be 2% of 65mA plus the
normal idle mode current, that is, it is as low as 2.75mA. However, in this case, it can take up to 1 second to
establish a connection.
The connected state current consumption while a master or slave can be considerably reduced by enabling Sniff
mode, described in detail in the next section.
8.1 Low Power Modes using Sniff
Bluetooth connections are master/slave in nature. A master sends packets and a slave has to acknowledge that
packet in the next timeslot. Timeslots in Bluetooth are 625 microseconds wide. This implies that a master will
always know when packets will be sent and received, which further means it is able to optimise power usage by
switching on power hungry circuitry only when needed.
A slave on the other hand does NOT have prior knowledge of when a packet will be received and has to assume
that a packet will be received from a master on every receive slot. This means that it has to leave its receiving
circuitry on for most of the receive slot duration. The result of this is high power consumption, where a slave with
no data transmission still consumes around 31mA whereas a master consumes only 6mA.
This problem was identified very early in the evolution of Bluetooth (especially since headsets spend all their time
as a slave in a Bluetooth connection) and it was solved by having a mode called Sniff, with appropriate lower
layer negotiating protocol.
Sniff mode during connection is basically an agreement between the slave and its master that data packets will
only be exchanged for N timeslots every M slots. The slave can then assume that it will never be contacted during

5.0V 5.30

N-M slots, and so can switch its power hungry circuitry off. The specification goes further by also specifying a
third parameter called ‘timeout’ (T) which specifies ‘extra’ timeslots that the slave will agree to listen for after
receiving a valid data packet. Put another way, if a data packet is received by the slave, then it knows that it
MUST carry on listening for at least T more slots. If within that T slot time period another data packet is received,
then the timer is restarted. This mechanism ensures low power consumption when there is no data transfer – at
the expense of latency. When there is a lot of data to be transferred, it acts as if sniff mode were not enabled.
It is stated above that during sniff mode, a slave listens for N slots every M slots. The Bluetooth specification
states that a master can have up to 7 slaves attached to it with all slaves having requested varying sniff
parameters. It may therefore be impossible to guarantee that each slave gets the M parameter it requested. In
light of this, the protocol for enabling sniff mode specifies that a requesting peer specify the M parameter as a
minimum and maximum value. This will allow the master to interleave the sniff modes for all slaves attached.
This is illustrated in the diagram below.
For this reason, the sniff parameters are specified in the Embedded Intelligent Bluetooth Module via four S
registers. S Register 561 is used to specify ‘N’, S Register 562 is used to specify ‘T’ and S Registers 563/564 are
used to specify minimum ‘M’ and maximum ‘M’ respectively. Although the specification defines these parameters
in terms of timeslots, the S register values have to be specified in units of milliseconds and the firmware does the
necessary translation to timeslots.

38 IN/OUT GPIO_8 General Purpose I/O
34 IN/OUT GPIO_9/PCM_SLVCLK General Purpose I/O (PCM SLAVE CLK)
Notes:
1. UART_DSR is used by the module to sense that the host is connected, and is intricately linked with
connections. For outgoing calls, if this line is not asserted then an error is indicated. Similarly for AT+BTP and
AT+BTG.
While in a call, for appropriate modes, a de-assertion means fall into command state. If the de-assertion exists
for longer than the period specified in S Register 519 then the connection is dropped as if an ATH command was
received.
2. UART_RI, is normally de-asserted. When an incoming connection is detected it will be asserted, until the
connection is either answered or rejected using ATA and ATH respectively. See S Registers 552 & 553 for more
details
3. UART_DCD will be de-asserted when the device is in the unconnected state. Asserted when a connection
is active. See S Registers 552 and 553 for more details.
4. GPIO_3 is either used as GPIO or driven as UART_DTR. When the unit is configured in pure host mode,
this pin is forced into UART_DTR and is asserted when there is a Bluetooth connection.
5. GPIO_9 can be used to generate a PCM clock when both connected modules are in slave mode. Contact
Ezurio for more information.
The GPIO Pins are available for general purpose use.
9.2 Modem signalling over Bluetooth
The RFCOMM protocol used in Bluetooth for implementing the serial port profile allows for the exchange of four
modem signals. This information is contained in a special transparent message which contains bits identified as
RTR, RTC, DV and IC which depending on the type of serial device being emulated maps to DTR or DSR, RTS,
DCD and RI respectively. In addition, this message also includes the ability to convey a BREAK input from one
end to the other.
To allow for the greatest flexibility and variability in how the modem control signals are used in the real world, S
Registers 551, 552 and 553 have been provided which allow for any of RTR, RTC, DV and IC to be mapped to any
modem control/status line.
BREAK signal on RX line
If the host sends a break signal of duration greater than 100ms, then the module is configured to treat
that as a signal to perform a hardware reset.
This being the case it is not possible to convey a BREAK over Bluetooth to the peer device.
A continuous low on the RX line will be treated by the module as a reset (BREAK). Therefore the host
should keep RX high while idling.
Reset
The module can be reset by the host without the need of any I/O using a BREAK signal. The module has
been configured to reset when the RX line detects a break condition for durations greater than 100
milliseconds.
The Reset line has a fixed pull up resistor of 10k Ohm
www.ezurio.com DSH_BT024-00200_1v5 © Ezurio Ltd 2006 16
9.3 Pure Cable Replacement Mode
The module has the capability of being preset into a pure 5-wire data cable replacement mode. The 5 wires being
RX, TX, CTS, RTS and GND. This mode requires no changes to a host application since the Bluetooth connection is
automatically set up on power up. If the connection is lost the Embedded Intelligent Bluetooth Module will
constantly retry until the connection is reinstated.
By implication, two devices are needed to replace a cable. One device is pre-configured to always be a master
and the other, a slave.
Assuming the Bluetooth address of the master to be <bdaddr_m> and that of the slave to be <bdaddr_s>, the
master module is configured by sending it the following AT commands:
AT&F*
ATS512=1
ATS504=1
ATS507=2
ATS530=2000
AT&W
AT+BTR<bdaddr_s>
The ATS507=2 setting puts the device in DSR drop mode only. This means that when the device needs to be
reconfigured, deasserting the DSR line will ensure that the module responds quickly to AT commands. This further
means that in stand alone mode, the DSR input line MUST be asserted e.g. 0V in TTL signal mode.
The slave is configured by:
AT&F*
ATS512=4
ATS0=-1
AT&W
AT+BTM<bdaddr_m>
Where AT+BTM<bdaddr_m> is optional. If it is not specified, then the slave unit will accept connections from any
device. If specified then only connections from the device specified will be accepted.
If it is desired that the slave unit should not be discoverable (the master is by default not discoverable), then the
configuration commands are:
AT&F*
ATS512=3
ATS0=-1
AT&W
AT+BTM<bdaddr_m>
Where AT+BTM<bdaddr_m> is optional. If it is not specified, then the slave unit will accept connections from any
device. If specified then only connections from the device specified will be accepted.
When the units are next power cycled, the slave unit will wait for the master to connect to it and the master will
continually look for the slave. If a connection attempt fails, the master will wait for 2 seconds before reattempting
a connection. This 2 second delay can be varied by issuing it an ATS530 command with an appropriate value in
the range 100ms to 15000ms.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The DSR input to the module MUST be asserted for the auto connection to succeed. When
operating at TTL levels a 0V is seen as an assert state. When operating at RS232 levels and voltage greater than
3V is seen as assert. It is usual to connect the DTR line of the host to the DSR line of this device.

9.4 Audio Cable (voice)
With a pair of these modules it is possible to replace a mono audio cable with two way traffic. That is, a setup
where a microphone is connected to a speaker at the remote end and vice versa. So this mode effectively
replaces two audio cables.
Assuming the Bluetooth address of the master to be <bdaddr_m> and that of the slave to be <bdaddr_s>, the
master module is configured by sending it the following AT commands:
AT&F*
ATS512=1
ATS504=1
ATS530=2000
ATS532=7
AT&W
AT+BTR<bdaddr_s>
And the slave is configured by:
AT&F*
ATS512=4
ATS0=-1
AT&W
AT+BTM<bdaddr_m>
9.5 Modem Control and Status Signals
A serial port has DTR, DSR, RTS, CTS, DCD and RI control lines. RTS and CTS are locally controlled to prevent
local buffer overflow.
The status of DTR, DRS, DCD and RI can be exchanged with the remote peer device. If for example, the
DTR/DSR lines are to be exchanged between the two peers to simulate the performance of a physical cable, then
it is possible to do so. Refer to the description for S Registers 551, 552 and 553 for more details.
Some serial implementations link CTS and RTS to remove the need for handshaking. Ezurio do not recommend
linking CTS and RTS other than for testing and prototyping. If these pins are linked and the host sends data at
the point that the Bluetooth Serial Module deasserts its RTS signal, then there is a significant risk that internal
receive buffers will overflow which could lead to an internal processor crash. This will lead to a drop in connection
and may require a power cycle to reset the module.
Ezurio recommend that the correct CTS/RTS handshaking protocol be adhered to for proper operation.
9.6 Oscillator Output
The output from the high performance crystal oscillator (+ 10ppm) can be divided and output on one of the
selected PIO lines, removing the need for a crystal on the customer’s main pcb. The frequencies available are:
• 8 MHz
• 16 MHz
• 24 MHz
• 48 MHz

10. Application Information
10.1 Antenna Position
The antenna used on the Embedded Intelligent Bluetooth module is designed to be largely immune from the
effects of proximity detuning. Normally, antennas operating at 2.4GHz are affected by their surroundings, so that
great care is needed in their placement and orientation.
The Embedded Intelligent Serial Module can be used in most locations and orientations and is only marginally
affected by the presence of a significant ground plane in close proximity.
The antenna distribution is close to isotropic, which means that the orientation of mounting has only a limited
effect on the overall range. However the optimum range is achieved when the two antennae are directly facing
each other
The module should not be located in a sealed metal enclosure, as this will act as a Faraday cage and severely
attenuate the radio signal. A distance of 6mm has been allowed between the metal shield and the antenna to
allow the antenna to protrude through a slow in a metal enclosure.
10.2 Power Supply Considerations
The power supply for the Module has to be a single voltage source of Vcc within the range of 3.3 V to 7.0 V. It
must be able to provide sufficient current in a transmit burst. This can rise to 65mA.
10.3 Power-On-Reset
The Module is provided with an active low reset pin. Upon the application of power, the Power On Reset circuit
built into the Module will ensure that the unit starts correctly. The internal reset circuit is triggered when the
input voltage to the module drops below ~1.7V and is hence only suitable for providing a power on reset signal. If
the supply voltage to the module can drop below the minimum voltage level in normal operation, then it is
recommended that an external brownout circuit is provided to assert the module reset and to ensure that the
module is reset when the module supply voltage drops below 3.1V.
This will ensure that the module will return to an operational state when the supply voltage comes back within
specification. For example, if the module supply can drop to 2.7V and then be restored to 3.3V there is no
guarantee that the module will still be operational unless the reset signal has been asserted.
10.4 RF Shield
To meet FCC requirements and to facilitate IR soldering, all modules are supplied with a soldered RF shield. This
meets the requirement that users may not be able to access RF circuitry without special tools. Removal of the
shield may negate RF approvals.
10.5 Mounting the Module onto the application platform
The antenna (Brown square component on top side of PCB) is designed to minimise detuning effects from nearby
components and metalwork. However, it is good design practise to ensure that other active circuitry is kept away
from the antenna.
The proximity of the antenna to large metallic objects can affect the range and performance of the system.
Designers should carefully consider the location of the Module and the type of enclosure material that is used.
No tracks should be present on the top layer of the board on which the module is soldered, as these may cause
inadvertent connections to test pads. The recommended land pattern for the mother PCB is detailed below
www.ezurio.com DSH_BT024-00200_1v5 © Ezurio Ltd 2006 19
Notes: The motherboard should have no copper, solder resist or tracks beneath the module on the pad layer.
N/C Pins should have no electrical connection, including to other N/C pins, but be mechanical pads only.
