This guide is targeted to help a Bluetooth Member or their BQE understand the role of the Bluetooth Transceiver in X-GOLD 223 in a complete mobile phone. The Bluetooth Program Reference Document requires that all Bluetooth Components have a Reference Integration Note (RIN) as a pre-requisite for qualification. This RIN has been uploaded to the Bluetooth SIG Qualification Listing Interfaces for the Qualified Design ID B018991 prior to qualification of this design and is available for Member use for their product implementation. Additionally refer to the Bluetooth Design Guide for X-GOLD 223 which provides more detailed information and which is available under NDA.

Block Diagram

Block Diagram

The following figure shows a block diagram of the Bluetooth Transceiver embedded in the host chip: The Bluetooth Host is implemented by the CPU of the X-GOLD 223. It connects to the Bluetooth Controller through HCI, which is implemented through a UART interface. Audio data is transmitted to the signal processing unit over a serial audio interface (I2S). The host chip provides power supplies and clocks. A W -LAN coexistence interface is provided. For test and qualification purposes, some test signals of the Bluetooth controller can be routed to pins. HCI can be routed to a UART interface Audio can be routed to a configurable PCM/I2S interface

Radio Modules

Radio Modules
GSM, GPRS and EDGE-RX (EDGE-TX with external TX transceiver) baseband controller Bluetooth 4.0 FM Radio RX/TX with RDS

Interfaces
3-wire WLAN coexistence with Packet Type Arbitration Virtual UART for HCI to internal Host, parallel interface for higher throughput (Can be routed to external UART for qualification and test) I2S interface to internal Audio block (Can be routed to external I2S/PCM interface for test purposes)

Application Requirements

The Bluetooth host is implemented on the main CPU of X-GOLD 223. The host can control a WLAN device through an SPI interface. The WLAN coexistence interface allows for antenna arbitration by the WLAN device. This enables the implementation of Bluetooth High Speed applications. The Bluetooth controller is a BR/EDR and LE dual mode device, which enables implementation of Bluetooth smart applications. The RF interface is a single ended 50 Ohm input/output port. The use of a band pass filter for the ISM band is recommended. An external antenna is required. The component has been qualified for an antenna gain up to 2.5 dB. For more detailed implementation requirements, including layout recommendations, please refer to the Bluetooth Design Guide for X-GLD 223.
