4. Physical Interfaces
4.1 Power Supply
The transient response of the regulator is important. If the power rails of the module are supplied
from an external voltage source, the transient response of any regulator used should be 20μs or less.
It is essential that the power rail recovers quickly.
4.2 Reset
The module may be reset from several sources: RESET pin, power-on reset, a UART break
character or via a software configured watchdog timer.
The RESET pin is an active high reset and is internally filtered using the internal low frequency
clock oscillator. A reset will be performed between 1.5 and 4.0ms following RESET being active. It
is recommended that RESET be applied for a period greater than 5ms.
The module has an internal reset circuitry, which keeps reset pin active until supply voltage has
reached stability in the start up. This ensures that supply for the flash memory inside the module will
reach stability before BC4 chip fetches instructions from it. Pull-up or pull-down resistor should
not be connected to the reset pin to ensure proper star up of module.
At reset the digital I/O pins are set to inputs for bi-directional pins and outputs are tri-state. The PIOs
have weak pull-downs.

4.3 Digital Audio Interfaces
The module has offered PCM digital audio interface.
PCM is a standard method used to digitize audio (particularly voice) for transmission over digital
communication channels. Through its PCM interface, the module has hardware support for continual
transmission and reception of PCM data, thus reducing processor overhead for applications. The
module offers a bi-directional digital audio interface that routes directly into the baseband layer of
the on-chip firmware. It does not pass through the HCI protocol layer.
Hardware on the module allows the data to be sent to and received from a SCO connection. Up to
three SCO connections can be supported by the PCM interface at any one time.
The module can operate as the PCM interface master generating an output clock of 128, 256 or
512kHz. When configured as PCM interface slave, it can operate with an input clock up to 2048kHz.
The module is compatible with a variety of clock formats, including Long Frame Sync, Short Frame
Sync and GCI timing environments.
It supports 13-bit or 16-bit linear, 8-bit µ-law or A-law companded sample formats at 8k samples/s
and can receive and transmit on any selection of three of the first four slots following PCM_SYNC.
The module interfaces directly to PCM audio devices including the following:

Qualcomm MSM 3000 series and MSM 5000 series CDMA baseband devices

channels A-law and µ-law CODEC

-bit A-law and µ-law CODEC

-bit linear CODEC

-bit linear CODECs
The module is also compatible with the Motorola SSI™ interface.
4.3.1 PCM Interface Master/Slave
When PCM is configured as a master, the module generates PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC.
Flaircomm Microelectronics Confidential
-13-
FLC-BTM403 Datasheet
Figure 3: Configured PCM as a Master
When PCM is configured as the slave, the module accepts PCM_CLK rates up to 2048kHz.
Figure 4: Configured PCM as a Slave
4.3.2 Long Frame Sync
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 module is configured as PCM master, generating PCM_SYNC and
PCM_CLK, then PCM_SYNC is 8-bits long. When the module is configured as PCM Slave,
PCM_SYNC may be from two consecutive falling edges of PCM_CLK to half the PCM_SYNC rate,
i.e., 62.5µs long.
Flaircomm Microelectronics Confidential
-14-
FLC-BTM403 Datasheet
Figure 5: Long Frame Sync (Shown with 8-bit Companded Sample)
4.3.3 Short Frame Sync
In Short Frame Sync, the falling edge of PCM_SYNC indicates the start of the PCM word.
PCM_SYNC is always one clock cycle long.
Figure 6: Short Frame Sync (Shown with 16-bit Sample)
As with Long Frame Sync, the module samples PCM_IN on the falling edge of PCM_CLK and
transmits PCM_OUT on the rising edge. PCM_OUT may be configured to be high impedance on the
falling edge of PCM_CLK in the LSB position or on the rising edge.
4.3.4 Multi-slot Operation
More than one SCO connection over the PCM interface is supported using multiple slots. Up to three
SCO connections can be carried over any of the first four slots.
Flaircomm Microelectronics Confidential

FLC-BTM403 Datasheet
Figure 7: Multi-Slot Operation with Two Slots and 8-bit Companded Samples
4.3.5 GCI Interface
The module is compatible with the General Circuit Interface (GCI), a standard synchronous 2B+D
ISDN timing interface. The two 64Kbps B channels can be accessed when this mode is configured.
Figure 8: GCI Interface
The start of a frame is indicated by the rising edge of PCM_SYNC and runs at 8kHz. With the
module in slave mode, the frequency of PCM_CLK can be up to 4.096MHz.
4.3.6 Slots and Sample Formats
The module can receive and transmit on any selection of the first four slots following each sync
pulse. Slot durations can be either 8 or 16 clock cycles. Durations of 8 clock cycles may only be
used with 8-bit sample formats. Durations of 16 clocks may be used with 8-bit, 13-bit or 16-bit
sample formats. The module supports 13-bit linear, 16-bit linear and 8-bit µ-law or A-law sample
formats. The sample rate is 8k samples/s. The bit order may be little or big endian. When 16-bit slots
are used, the 3 or 8 unused bits in each slot may be filled with sign extension, padded with zeros or a
programmable 3-bit audio attenuation compatible with some Motorola CODECs.

4.3.7 Additional Features
The module has a mute facility that forces PCM_OUT to be 0. In master mode, PCM_SYNC may
also be forced to 0 while keeping PCM_CLK running which some CODECS use to control power
down.

devices. The module acts as a USB peripheral, responding to request from a master host controller,
such as a PC.
The module features an internal USB pull-up resistor. This pulls the USB_DP pin weakly high when
module is ready to enumerate. It signals to the USB master that it is a full speed (12Mbit/s) USB
device. The USB internal pull-up is implemented as a current source, and is compliant with section
7.1.5 of the USB specification v1.2. The internal pull-up pulls USB_DP high to at least 2.8V when
loaded with a 15kΩ ±5% pull-down resistor (in the hub/host) when VDD =3.1V. This presents a
Thevenin resistance to the host of at least 900Ω. Alternatively, an external 1.5kΩ pull-up resistor can
be placed between a PIO line and DP on the USB cable.
4.7.2.1
Self-Powered Mode
In self-powered mode, the module is powered from its own power supply and not from the VBUS
(5V) line of the USB cable. It draws only a small leakage current (below 0.5mA) from VBUS on the
USB cable. This is the easier mode for which to design, as the design is not limited by the power that
can be drawn from the USB hub or root port. However, it requires that VBUS be connected to
module via a resistor network (Rvb1 and Rvb2), so the module can detect when VBUS is powered
up. The module will not pull USB_DP high when VBUS is off.
Self-powered USB designs (powered from a battery or LDO) must ensure that a PIO line is allocated
for USB pull-up purposes. A 1.5KΩ 5% pull-up resistor between USB_DP and the selected PIO line
should be fitted to the design. Failure to fit this resistor may result in the design failing to be USB
compliant in self-powered mode. The internal pull-up in the module is only suitable for bus-powered
USB devices, e.g., dongles.

4.7.2.2 Bus-Powered Mode
In bus-powered mode, the application circuit draws its current from the 5V VBUS supply on the
USB cable. The module negotiates with the PC during the USB enumeration stage about how much
current it is allowed to consume. For Class 2 Bluetooth applications, FLC recommends that the
regulator used to derive 3.3V from VBUS is rated at 100mA average current and should be able to
handle peaks of 120mA without foldback or limiting. In bus-powered mode, the module requests
100mA during enumeration. For Class 1 Bluetooth applications, the USB power descriptor should be
altered to reflect the amount of power required. This is higher than for a Class 2 application due to
the extra current drawn by the Transmit RF PA. When selecting a regulator, be aware that VBUS
may go as low as 4.4V. The inrush current (when charging reservoir and supply decoupling
capacitors) is limited by the USB specification. See USB Specification v1.1, section 7.2.4.1. Some
applications may require soft start circuitry to limit inrush current if more than 10µF is present
between VBUS and GND.

4.7.3 I2C
PIO5, PIO7 and PIO6 can be used to form a master I2C interface. The interface is formed using
software to drive these lines. It is suited only to relatively slow functions such as driving a LCD,
Keyboard, scanner or EEPROM. In the case, PIO lines need to be pulled up through 2.2Kohm
resistors.

4.7.4 SPI
he synchronous serial port interface (SPI) can be used for system debugging. It can also be used for
in-system programming for the flash memory within the module. SPI interface uses the SPI_MOSI,
SPI_MISO, SPI_CSB and SPI_CLK pins. Testing points for the SPI interface are reserved on board
in case that the firmware shall be updated during manufacture.
The module operates as a slave and thus SPI_MISO is an output of the module. SPI_MISO is not in
high-impedance state when SPI_CSB is pulled high. Instead, the module outputs 0 if the processor is

running and 1 if it is stopped. Thus the module should NOT be connected in a multi-slave
arrangement by simple parallel connection of slave SPI_MISO lines. The SPI interface is needed
when debugging the Bluetooth functions so please leave test points/pads as shown in Figure 17 on
PCB.

8. Recommended PCB Layout and Mounting Pattern
A very important factor in achieving maximum Bluetooth performance is the placement of a module
with on-board antenna designs onto the carrier board and corresponding PCB layout. There should
be no any trace, ground and vias in the area of the carrier board underneath the module’s on-board
antenna section as indicated in Figure 20. Antenna portion of the module must be placed at least
20mm away from any metal part and the antenna should not be covered by any piece of metal. The
antenna of the module MUST be kept as far from potential noise sources as possible and special care
must also be taken with placing the module in proximity to circuitry that can emit heat. The RF part
of the module is very sensitive to temperature and sudden changes can have an adverse impact on
performance.

min
Figure 21: Recommended Reflow Profile
Pre-heat zone (A) — This zone raises the temperature at a controlled rate, typically 0.5 – 2 C/s.
The purpose of this zone is to preheat the PCB board and components to 120 ~ 150 C. This stage is
required to distribute the heat uniformly to the PCB board and completely remove solvent to reduce
the heat shock to components.
Equilibrium Zone 1 (B) — In this stage the flux becomes soft and uniformly encapsulates solder
particles and spread over PCB board, preventing them from being re-oxidized. Also with elevation
of temperature and liquefaction of flux, each activator and rosin get activated and start eliminating
oxide film formed on the surface of each solder particle and PCB board. The temperature is
recommended to be 150 to 210 for 60 to 120 second for this zone.
Equilibrium Zone 2 (c) (optional) — In order to resolve the upright component issue, it is
recommended to keep the temperature in 210 – 217  for about 20 to 30 second.
Reflow Zone (D) — The profile in the figure is designed for Sn/Ag3.0/Cu0.5. It can be a reference
for other lead-free solder. The peak temperature should be high enough to achieve good wetting but
not so high as to cause component discoloration or damage. Excessive soldering time can lead to
intermetallic growth which can result in a brittle joint. The recommended peak temperature (Tp) is
230 ~ 250 C. The soldering time should be 30 to 90 second when the temperature is above 217 C.
Cooling Zone (E) — The cooling ate should be fast, to keep the solder grains small which will give
a longerlasting joint. Typical cooling rate should be 4 C.
