5 Layout Guidelines
Use good layout practices to avoid excessive noise coupling to supply voltage traces or sensitive analog
signal traces, such as analog audio signals. If using overlapping ground planes use stitching vias separated
by max 3 mm to avoid emission from the edges of the PCB. Connect all the GND pins directly to a solid GND
plane and make sure that there is a low impedance path for the return current following the signal and supply
traces all the way from start to the end.
A good practice is to dedicate one of the inner layers to a solid GND plane and one of the inner layers to
supply voltage planes and traces and route all the signals on top and bottom layers of the PCB. This
arrangement will make sure that any return current follows the forward current as close as possible and any
loops are minimized.
Layout
•Supply voltage
–If possible use solid power plane
–Make sure that solid GND plane follows the traces all the way
–Do not route supply voltage traces across separated GND regions so that the
path for the return current is cut
•MIC input
–Place LC filtering and DC coupling capacitors symmetrically as close to audio
pins as possible
–Place MIC biasing resistors symmetrically as close to microhone as possible.
–Make sure that the bias trace does not cross separated GND regions (DGND ->
AGND) so that the path for the return current is cut. If this is not possible the do
not separate GND regions but keep one solid GND plane.
–Keep the trace as short as possible

6 UART Interface
This is a standard UART interface for communicating with other serial devices.WT41u UART interface
provides a simple mechanism for communicating with other serial devices using the RS232 protocol.
Four signals are used to implement the UART function. When WT41u is connected to another digital device,
UART_RX and UART_TX transfer data between the two devices. The remaining two signals, UART_CTS and
UART_RTS, can be used to implement RS232 hardware flow control where both are active low indicators. All
UART connections are implemented using CMOS technology and have signalling levels of 0V and VDD.
UART configuration parameters, such as data rate and packet format, are set using WT41u software.
Note:
In order 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.

Table 13: Possible UART Settings
The UART interface is capable of resetting WT41u upon reception of a break signal. A break is identified by a
continuous logic low (0V) on the UART_RX terminal, as shown in Figure 10. If tBRK is longer than the value,
defined by PSKEY_HOST_IO_UART_RESET_TIMEOUT, (0x1a4), a reset will occur. This feature allows a
host to initialise the system to a known state. Also, WT41u can emit a break character that may be used to
wake the host.
Figure 11: Break Signal
Table 17 shows a list of commonly used data rates and their associated values for
PSKEY_UART_BAUD_RATE (0x204). There is no requirement to use these standard values. Any data rate
within the supported range can be set in the PS Key according to the formula in Equation 1.

6.1 UART Bypass
Figure 12: UART Bypass Architecture
6.2 UART Configuration While Reset is Active
The UART interface for WT41u while the chip is being held in reset is tristate. This will allow the user to daisy
chain devices onto the physical UART bus. The constraint on this method is that any devices connected to
this bus must tristate when WT41u reset is de-asserted and the firmware begins to run.
6.3 UART Bypass Mode
Alternatively, for devices that do not tristate the UART bus, the UART bypass mode on the chipset can be
used. The default state of the chipset after reset is de-asserted; this is for the host UART bus to be connected
to the chipset UART, thereby allowing communication to the chipset via the UART. All UART bypass mode
connections are implemented using CMOS technology and have signalling levels of 0V and VDD.
In order to apply the UART bypass mode, a BCCMD command will be issued to the chipset. Upon this issue, it
will switch the bypass to PIO[7:4] as Figure 11 indicates. Once the bypass mode has been invoked, WT41u
will enter the Deep Sleep state indefinitely.
In order to re-establish communication with WT41u, the chip must be reset so that the default configuration
takes effect.
It is important for the host to ensure a clean Bluetooth disconnection of any active links before the bypass
mode is invoked. Therefore, it is not possible to have active Bluetooth links while operating the bypass mode.
The current consumption for a device in UART bypass mode is equal to the values quoted for a device in
standby mode.

7 USB Interface
This is a full speed (12Mbits/s) USB interface for communicating with other compatible digital devices. WT41u
acts as a USB peripheral, responding to requests from a master host controller such as a PC.
The USB interface is capable of driving a USB cable directly. No external USB transceiver is required. The
device operates as a USB peripheral, responding to requests from a master host controller such as a PC.
Both the OHCI and the UHCI standards are supported. The set of USB endpoints implemented can behave as
specified in the USB section of the Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR specification or alternatively can appear as a set of
endpoints appropriate to USB audio devices such as speakers.
As USB is a master/slave oriented system (in common with other USB peripherals), WT41u only supports
USB Slave operation.
7.1 USB Data Connections
The USB data lines emerge as pins USB_DP and USB_DN. These terminals are connected to the internal
USB I/O buffers of the the chipset, therefore, have a low output impedance. To match the connection to the
characteristic impedance of the USB cable, resistors must be placed in series with USB_DP/USB_DN and the
cable.
7.2 USB Pull-Up resistor
WT41u features an internal USB pull-up resistor. This pulls the USB_DP pin weakly high when WT41u is
ready to enumerate. It signals to the PC that it is a full speed (12Mbits/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_PADS = 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 D+ on
the USB cable. The firmware must be alerted to which mode is used by setting PSKEY_USB_PIO_PULLUP
appropriately. The default setting uses the internal pull-up resistor.
7.3 USB Power Supply
The USB specification dictates that the minimum output high voltage for USB data lines is 2.8V. To safely
meet the USB specification, the voltage on the VDD supply terminal must be an absolute minimum of 3.1V.
Silicon Labs recommends 3.3V for optimal USB signal quality.
7.4 Self-Powered Mode
In self-powered mode, the circuit 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 WT41u via a resistor network (Rvb1 and
Rvb2), so WT41u can detect when VBUS is powered up. The chipset will not pull USB_DP high when VBUS is
off.
Self-powered USB designs (powered from a battery or PSU) must ensure that a PIO line is allocated for USB
pullup 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 chipset is only suitable for bus-powered USB devices, e.g., dongles.

7.5 Bus-Powered Mode
In bus-powered mode, the application circuit draws its current from the 5V VBUS supply on the USB cable.
WT41u negotiates with the PC during the USB enumeration stage about how much current it is allowed to
consume. On power-up the device must not draw more than 100 mA but after being configured it can draw up
to 500 mA.
For WT41u, the USB power descriptor should be altered to reflect the amount of power required. This is
accomplished by setting PSKEY_USB_MAX_POWER (0x2c6). This is higher than for a Class 2 application
due to the extra current drawn by the Transmit RF PA. By default for WT41u the setting is 300 mA.
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 the USB Specification.
Some applications may require soft start circuitry to limit inrush current if more than 10uF is present between
VBUS and GND. The 5V VBUS line emerging from a PC is often electrically noisy. As well as regulation down
to 3.3V and 1.8V, applications should include careful filtering of the 5V line to attenuate noise that is above the
voltage regulator bandwidth. Excessive noise on WT41u supply pins will result in reduced receiver sensitivity
and a distorted RF transmit signal.

Figure 15: USB Connections for Bus-Powered Mode
7.6 USB Suspend Current
All USB devices must permit the USB controller to place them in a USB suspend mode. While in USB
Suspend, bus-powered devices must not draw more than 2.5mA from USB VBUS (self-powered devices may
draw more than 2.5mA from their own supply). This current draw requirement prevents operation of the radio
by bus-powered devices during USB Suspend.
When computing suspend current, the current from VBUS through the bus pull-up and pull-down resistors
must be included. The pull-up resistor at the device is 1.5 kΩ. (nominal). The pull-down resistor at the hub is
14.25kΩ. to 24.80kΩ. The pull-up voltage is nominally 3.3V, which means that holding one of the signal lines
high takes approximately 200uA, leaving only 2.3mA available from a 2.5mA budget. Ensure that external
LEDs and/or amplifiers can be turned off by the chipset. The entire circuit must be able to enter the suspend
mode.
7.7 USB Detach and Wake-Up Signaling
WT41u can provide out-of-band signaling to a host controller by using the control lines called USB_DETACH
and USB_WAKE_UP. These are outside the USB specification (no wires exist for them inside the USB cable),
but can be useful when embedding WT41u into a circuit where no external USB is visible to the user. Both
control lines are shared with PIO pins and can be assigned to any PIO pin by setting
PSKEY_USB_PIO_DETACH and PSKEY_USB_PIO_WAKEUP to the selected PIO number.
USB_DETACH is an input which, when asserted high, causes WT41u to put USB_DN and USB_DP in high
impedance state and turns off the pull-up resistor on DP. This detaches the device from the bus and is
logically equivalent to unplugging the device. When USB_DETACH is taken low, WT41u will connect back to
USB and await enumeration by the USB host.
USB_WAKE_UP is an active high output (used only when USB_DETACH is active) to wake up the host and
allow USB communication to recommence. It replaces the function of the software USB WAKE_UP message
(which runs over the USB cable) and cannot be sent while the chipset is effectively disconnected from the
bus.

7.8 USB Driver
A USB Bluetooth device driver is required to provide a software interface between the chipset and Bluetooth
software running on the host computer. Please, contact Silicon Labs support at http://www.silabs.com for
suitable drivers.
7.9 USB v2.0 Compliance and Compatibility
Although WT41u meets the USB specification, Silicon Labs cannot guarantee that an application circuit
designed around the module is USB compliant. The choice of application circuit, component choice and PCB
layout all affect USB signal quality and electrical characteristics. The information in this document is intended
as a guide and should be read in association with the USB specification, with particular attention being given
to Chapter 7. Independent USB qualification must be sought before an application is deemed USB compliant
and can bear the USB logo. Such qualification can be obtained from a USB plugfest or from an independent
USB test house.
Terminals USB_DP and USB_DN adhere to the USB Specification v2.0 (Chapter 7) electrical requirements.
The chipset is compatible with USB v2.0 host controllers; under these circumstances the two ends agree the
mutually acceptable rate of 12Mbits/s according to the USB v2.0 specification.

8 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
The SPI port can be used for system debugging. It can also be used for programming the Flash memory and
setting the PSKEY configurations. WT41u uses 16-bit data and 16-bit address serial peripheral interface, where
transactions may occur when the internal processor is running or is stopped. SPI interface is connected using
the MOSI, MISO, CSB and CLK pins. Please, contact the Silicon Labs support at http://www.silabs.com for
detailed information about the instruction cycle.

9 PCM Codec Interface
PCM is a standard method used to digitize audio (particularly voice) for transmission over digital
communication channels. Through its PCM interface, WT41u has hardware support for continual transmission
and reception of PCM data, thus reducing processor overhead for wireless headset applications. WT41u
offers a bidirectional 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 WT41u 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.
WT41u 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. WT41u 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 8ksamples/s and can
receive and transmit on any selection of three of the first four slots following PCM_SYNC. The PCM
configuration options are enabled by setting PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32.
WT41u interfaces directly to PCM audio devices.
NOTE: Analog audio lines are very sensitive to RF disturbance. Use good layout practices to ensure noise
less audio. Make sure that the return path for the audio signals follows the forward current all the way as close
as possible and use fully differential signals when possible. Do not compromise audio routing.
9.1 PCM Interface Master/Slave
When configured as the master of the PCM interface, WT41u generates PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC.
Figure 17: PCM Interface Master
When configured as the Slave of the PCM interface, WT41u accepts PCM_CLK rates up to 2048kHz.
Silicon Laboratories Finland Oy
Page 29 of 45
Figure 18: PCM Interface Slave
9.2 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
WT41u is configured as PCM master, generating PCM_SYNC and PCM_CLK, then PCM_SYNC is 8-bits
long. When WT41u 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., 62.5s long.
Figure 19: Long Frame Sync (Shown with 8-bit Companded Sample)
WT41u 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.
9.3 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.
Silicon Laboratories Finland Oy
Page 30 of 45
Figure 20: Short Frame Sync (Shown with 16-bit Sample)
As with Long Frame Sync, WT41u 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.
9.4 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.
Figure 21: Multi-slot Operation with Two Slots and 8-bit Companded Samples
9.5 GCI Interface
WT41u is compatible with the GCI, a standard synchronous 2B+D ISDN timing interface. The two 64kbits/s B
channels can be accessed when this mode is configured.
Silicon Laboratories Finland Oy
Page 31 of 45
Figure 22: GCI Interface
The start of frame is indicated by the rising edge of PCM_SYNC and runs at 8kHz. With WT41u in Slave
mode, the frequency of PCM_CLK can be up to 4.096MHz.
9.6 Slots and Sample Formats
WT41u 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.
WT41u supports 13-bit linear, 16-bit linear and 8-bit -law or A-law sample formats. The sample rate is
8ksamples/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.
Silicon Laboratories Finland Oy
Page 32 of 45
Figure 23: 16-bit Slot Length and Sample Formats
9.7 Additional Features
WT41u 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.
9.8 PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC Generation
WT41u has two methods of generating PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC in master mode. The first is generating
these signals by DDS from the chipset internal 4MHz clock. Using this mode limits PCM_CLK to 128, 256 or
512kHz and PCM_SYNC to 8kHz. The second is generating PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC by DDS from an
internal 48MHz clock (which allows a greater range of frequencies to be generated with low jitter but
consumes more power). This second method is selected by setting bit 48M_PCM_CLK_GEN_EN in
PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32. When in this mode and with long frame sync, the length of PCM_SYNC can be
either 8 or 16 cycles of PCM_CLK, determined by LONG_LENGTH_SYNC_EN in PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32.
The Equation 2 describes PCM_CLK frequency when being generated using the internal 48MHz clock:
Silicon Laboratories Finland Oy
Page 33 of 45
Equation 2: PCM_CLK Frequency When Being Generated Using the Internal 48MHz Clock
The frequency of PCM_SYNC relative to PCM_CLK can be set using Equation 3:
Equation 3: 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
PSKEY_PCM_LOW_JITTER_CONFIG to 0x08080177.
9.9 PCM Configuration
The PCM configuration is set using two PS Keys, PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32 detailed in Table 18 and
PSKEY_PCM_LOW_JITTER_CONFIG in Table 19. The default for PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32 is 0x00800000,
i.e., 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.

10 I/O Parallel Ports
Six lines of programmable bidirectional input/outputs (I/O) are provided. All the PIO lines are power from VDD.
PIO lines can be configured through software to have either weak or strong pull-ups or pull-downs. All PIO
lines are configured as inputs with weak pull-downs at reset. Any of the PIO lines can be configured as
interrupt request lines or as wake-up lines from sleep modes.
WT41u has a general purpose analogue interface pin AIO[1]. This is used to access internal circuitry and
control signals. It may be configured to provide additional functionality.
Auxiliary functions available via AIO[1] include an 8-bit ADC and an 8-bit DAC. Typically the ADC is used for
battery voltage measurement. Signals selectable at this pin include the band gap reference voltage and a
variety of clock signals: 48, 24, 16, 8MHz and the XTAL clock frequency. When used with analogue signals,
the voltage range is constrained by the analogue supply voltage internally to the module (1.8V). When
configured to drive out digital level signals (e.g., clocks), the output voltage level is determined by VDD.
10.1 PIO Defaults
Silicon Labs cannot guarantee that these terminal functions remain the same. Refer to the software release
note for the implementation of these PIO lines, as they are firmware build-specific.
Silicon Laboratories Finland Oy
Page 37 of 45
11 Reset
WT41u may be reset from several sources: RESET pin, power on reset, a UART break character or via
software configured watchdog timer. The RESET pin is an active low reset and is internally filtered using the
internal low frequency clock oscillator. A reset will be performed between 1.5 and 4.0ms following RESETB
being active. It is recommended that RESET be applied for a period greater than 5ms.
The power on reset occurs when the VDD_CORE supply internally to the module falls below typically 1.5V
and is released when VDD_CORE rises above typically 1.6V. At reset the digital I/O pins are set to inputs for
bidirectional pins and outputs are tri-state.
The reset should be held active at power up until all the supply voltages have stabilized to ensure correct
operation of the internal flash memory. Following figure shows an example of a simple power up reset circuit.
Time constant of the RC circuitry is set so that the supply voltage is safely stabilized before the reset
deactivates.
