1 SCOPE

This document describes key hardware aspects of the Laird BT830 Bluetooth HCI module. This document is intended

to assist device manufacturers and related parties with the integration of this module into their host devices. Data in

this document are drawn from a number of sources including data sheets for the CSR8811.

Because the BT830 is currently in development stage, this document is preliminary and the information in this

document is subject to change. Please contact Laird Technologies or visit the Laird website at www.Lairdtech.com to

obtain the most recent version of this document.

2 OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION

The BT830 series of UART HCI devices are designed to meet the needs of OEMs adding

robust Bluetooth connectivity and using embedded Bluetooth stacks within these products.

Leveraging the market-leading CSR8811 chipset, the BT830 series provides exceptionally

low power consumption with outstanding range. Supporting the latest Bluetooth v4.0

Specification with EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), the Laird BT830 series enables OEMs to

accelerate their development time for leveraging either Classic Bluetooth or Bluetooth Low

Energy (BLE) into their operating system based devices.

With a tiny footprint as small as 8.5 x 13 mm, yet output power at 7 dBm, these modules are ideal for applications

where designers need high performance in minimal size. For maximum flexibility in systems integration, the modules

are designed to support a UART interface plus GPIO and additionally I2S and PCM audio interfaces.

These modules present an HCI interface and have native support for Windows and Linux Bluetooth software stacks.

All BT830 series devices are fully qualified as Bluetooth Hardware Controller Subsystem products. This also allows

designers to integrate their existing pre-approved Bluetooth Host and Profile subsystem stacks to gain a Bluetooth

END product approval for their products.

The BT830 series is engineered to provide excellent RF performance with integrated antenna and additional band pass

filters. It further reduces regulatory and testing requirements for OEMs and ensures a hassle free development cycle.

A fully featured, low-cost developer’s kit is available for prototyping, debug, and integration testing of the BT830

series modules and further reduces risk and time in development cycles.

3 BLOCK DIAGRAM AND DESCRIPTIONS

Figure 1: BT830 module block diagram

CS8811A08

(Main chip)

The BT830 is based on CSR8811A08 dual mode chip. The chip is a single-chip radio with on-chip

LDO regulators and baseband IC for Bluetooth 2.4 GHz systems including EDR to 3 Mbps.

Dedicated signal and baseband processing is included for full Bluetooth operation. The chip

provides PCM/I2S and UART interfaces. Up to four general purpose I/Os are available for general

use such as Wi-Fi coexistence or general indicators.

Note: The purpose of the SPI interface is to access the module’s inner settings such as selecting

different WLAN CO-EXIST scheme and enabling HID proxy mode. The SPI interface can

also be used to put the module in RF test mode. You cannot use the module over the SPI

interface for normal operation as the main host interface.

Antenna

The antenna is a ceramic monopole chip antenna.

Band Pass

Filter

The band pass filter filters the out-of-band emissions from the transmitter to meet the specific

regulations for type approvals of various countries.

Crystal

The embedded 26 MHz crystal is used for generating the clock for the entire module.

8.3 UART Interface

This is a standard UART interface for communicating with other serial devices.

CSR8811 UART interface provides a simple mechanism for communicating with other serial devices using the RS-232

protocol.

The above figure shows the 4 signals that implement the UART function. When BT830 is connected to another digital

device, UART_RX and UART_TX transfer data between the 2 devices. The remaining 2 signals, UART_CTS and

UART_RTS, implement RS232 hardware flow control where both are active low indicators. The default configuration

of UART is 115200 bauds; None parity check; 1 stop bit; 8 bits per byte.

Note: To communicate with the UART at its maximum data rate using a standard PC, an accelerated serial port

adapter card is required for the PC.

8.4 PCM Interface

The audio PCM interface on the BT830 supports:

 Continuous transmission and reception of PCM encoded audio data over Bluetooth.

 Processor overhead reduction through hardware support for continual transmission and reception of PCM

data.

 A bidirectional digital audio interface that routes directly into the baseband layer of the firmware. It does not

pass through the HCI protocol layer.

 Hardware on the BT830 for sending data to and from a SCO connection.

 Up to three SCO connections on the PCM interface at any one time.

 PCM interface master, generating PCM_SYNC and PCM_CLK.

 PCM interface slave, accepting externally generated PCM_SYNC and PCM_CLK.

 Various clock formats including:

- Long Frame Sync

- Short Frame Sync

 GCI timing environments.

 13-bit or 16-bit linear, 8-bit µ-law, or A-law companded sample formats.

 Receives and transmits on any selection of three of the first four slots following PCM_SYNC.

The PCM configuration options are enabled by setting PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32.

Frame

Sync

Figure 4: Long Frame Sync (shown with 8-bit Companded Sample)

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 BT830 is configured

as PCM master, generating PCM_SYNC and PCM_CLK, then PCM_SYNC is eight bits long. When the BT830 is

configured as PCM Slave, PCM_SYNC is from one cycle PCM_CLK to half the PCM_SYNC rate.

BT830 samples PCM_IN on the falling edge of PCM_CLK and transmits PCM_OUT on the rising edge. PCM_OUT is

configurable as high impedance on the falling edge of PCM_CLK in the LSB position or on the rising edge.

Frame

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 5: Short Frame Sync (Shown with 16-bit Sample)

As with Long Frame Sync, BT830 samples PCM_IN on the falling edge of PCM_CLK and transmits PCM_OUT on the

rising edge. PCM_OUT is configurable as high impedance on the falling edge of PCM_CLK in the LSB position or on

the rising edge.

8.4.4 Multi-Slot Operation

More than 1 SCO connection over the PCM interface is supported using multiple slots. Up to 3 SCO connections are

carried over any of the first 4 slots.

8.5 GCI Interface

BT830 is compatible with the GCI, a standard synchronous 2B+D ISDN timing interface. The two 64 kbps B channels

are accessed when this mode is configured.

Figure 7: Multi-slot Operation

The start of frame is indicated by the rising edge of PCM_SYNC and runs at 8 kHz.

8.6 Slots and Sample Formats

BT830 receives and transmits on any selection of the first four slots following each sync pulse. Slot durations are

either 8 or 16 clock cycles:

 8 clock cycles for 8-bit sample formats.

 16 clock cycles for 8-bit, 13-bit, or 16-bit sample formats.

BT830 supports:

 13-bit linear, 16-bit linear and 8-bit µ-law or A-law sample formats

 A sample rate of 8 ksps

 Little or big endian bit order

 For 16-bit slots, the three or eight unused bits in each slot are filled with sign extension, padded with zeros or a

programmable 3-bit audio attenuation compatible with some codecs.

8.10 PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC Generation

BT830 has two methods of generating PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC in master mode:

 Generating these signals by DDS from BT830internal 4MHz clock. Using this mode limits PCM_CLK to 128, 256

or 512 kHz and PCM_SYNC to 8 kHz.

 Generating these signals by DDS from an internal 48MHz clock, which enables a greater range of frequencies

to be generated with low jitter but consumes more power. To select this second method set bit

48M_PCM_CLK_GEN_EN in PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32. When in this mode and with long frame sync, the length

of PCM_SYNC is either 8 or 16 cycles of PCM_CLK, determined by LONG_LENGTH_SYNC_EN in

PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32.

Equation 8.1 describes PCM_CLK frequency when generated from the internal 48MHz clock:

Equation 8.1: PCM_CLK Frequency Generated Using the Internal 48MHz Clock

Set the frequency of PCM_SYNC relative to PCM_CLK using Equation 8.2:

Equation 8.2: PCM_SYNC Frequency Relative to PCM_CLK

CNT_RATE, CNT_LIMIT and SYNC_LIMIT are set using PSKEY_PCM_LOW_JITTER_CONFIG. As an example, to

generate PCM_CLK at 512kHz with PCM_SYNC at 8kHz, set SKEY_PCM_LOW_JITTER_CONFIG to 0x08080177.

8.11 PCM Configuration

Configure the PCM by using PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32 and PSKEY_PCM_LOW_JITTER_CONFIG (See your PSKey file).

The default for PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32 is 0x00800000 (for example: first slot following sync is active, 13-bit linear

voice format, long frame sync and interface master generating 256kHz PCM_CLK from 4MHz internal clock with no

tri-state of PCM_OUT).

8.12 Digital Audio Interface (I²S)

The digital audio interface supports the industry standard formats for I²S, left-justified or right-justified. The interface

shares the same pins as the PCM interface, which means each audio bus is mutually exclusive in its usage. Table 12

lists these alternative functions. Figure 11 shows the timing diagram.

9 POWER SUPPLY AND REGULATION

See the Example Application Schematic (Error! Reference source not found.) for the regulator configuration. BT830

can be powered by either two sources listed below

 Method #1: Apply 3.3 V on pin-9,High-voltage linear regulator input (VREG_IN_HV), to generate the main 1.8

V out put on pin-10 (VREG_OUT_HV).

A minimum 1.5μF capacitor must be connected to the Pin-10 (VREG_OUT_HV). Low ESR capacitors such as

multilayer ceramic types should be used.

 Method #2: Apply 1.8V on pin-10 High-voltage linear regulator output (VREG_OUT_HV), to generate the

internal voltage for the system. Be sure to left Pin-9 un-connected in this method.

9.1 Voltage Regulator Enable and Reset

A single pin, VREG_EN_RST#, controls both the High-voltage linear regulator enables and the digital reset function.

The VREG_EN_RST# pin remains active controlling the reset function if the HV linear regulator is not used so the pin

must be driven high to take the device out of reset.

The regulator is enabled by taking the VREG_EN_RST# pin above 1V. The regulator can also be controlled by the

software.

The VREG_EN_RST# is also connected internally to the reset function, and is powered from the VDD_PADS supply, so

voltages above VDD_PADS must not be applied to this pin. The VREG_EN_RST# pin is pulled down internally.

The VREG_EN_RST# pin is an active low reset. Assert the reset signal for a period >5 ms to ensure a full reset.

Note: The regulator enables are released as soon as VREG_EN_RST# is low, so the regulators shut down.

Therefore do not take VREG_EN_RST# low for less than 5 ms, as a full reset is not guaranteed.

Other reset sources are:

Power-on reset

Via a software-configured watchdog timer

A warm reset function is also available under software control. After a warm reset the RAM data remains

available.

12 IMPLEMENTATION NOTE

12.1 PCB Layout on Host PCB

Checklist (for PCB):

 MUST locate the BT830 module close to the edge of PCB.

 Use solid GND plane on inner layer (for best EMC and RF performance).

 Place GND vias close to module GND pads as possible

 Route traces to avoid noise being picked up on VCC supply.

 Antenna Keep-out area:

- Ensure there is no copper in the antenna keep-out area on any layers of the host PCB.

- Keep all mounting hardware and metal clear of the area to allow proper antenna radiation.

- For best antenna performance, place the BT830 module on the edge of the host PCB, preferably in the

corner with the antenna facing the corner.

- A different host PCB thickness dielectric will have small effect on antenna.

Figure 20: Recommend Antenna keep-out area (in White) used on the BT830

12.1.1 Antenna Keep-out and Proximity to Metal or Plastic

Checklist (for metal /plastic enclosure):

 Minimum safe distance for metals without seriously compromising the antenna (tuning) is 40 mm top/bottom

and 30 mm left or right.

 Metal close to the BT830 chip monopole antenna (bottom, top, left, right, any direction) will have degradation

on the antenna performance. The amount of degradation is entirely system dependent which means some

testing by customers is required (in their host application).

 Any metal closer than 20 mm starts to significantly degrade performance (S11, gain, radiation efficiency).

 It is best that the customer tests the range with mock-up (or actual prototype) of the product to assess effects

of enclosure height (and material whether metal or plastic).

regulator. The BT830 module generates 1.8 V output on Pin-10 (VREG_OUT_HV) which can supply to the other

DC pin of the board.

 Using DC power 1.8 V

Leave the Pin-9 (VREG_IN_HV) no connection, power the Pin-10 (VREG_OUT_HV) with 1.8 V and pull-high on

Pin-8 (VREG_EN_RST#) to turn on the internal regulator.

Laird Customer Declaration ID Procedure

This procedure assumes that the member is simply combining two subsystems to create a new design, without any

modification to the existing, qualified subsystems. This is achieved by using the Listing interface on the Bluetooth SIG

website. Figure 23 shows the basic subsystem combination of a controller and host subsystem. The Controller

provides the RF/BB/LM and HCI layers, with the Host providing L2CAP, SDP, GAP, RFCOMM/SPP and any other

specific protocols and profiles existing in the Host subsystem listing. The design may also include a Profile Subsystem.

The controller provides the RF/BB/LM and HCI layers, with the Host providing L2CAP, SDP, GAP, RFCOMM/SPP and

any other specific protocols and profiles existing in the Host subsystem listing. The design may also include a Profile

Subsystem.
