2-4. BT/FM Host Interface

The AW-NH931 is the optimal solution for any voice or data application that requires the Bluetooth SIG

standard Host Controller Interface (HCI) using a high-speed UART. The FM subsystem and the

Bluetooth subsystem share the same high-speed UART

2-4-1. UART Interface

The UART physical interface is a standard, 4-wire interface (RX, TX, RTS, CTS) with adjustable baud

rates from 9600 bps to 4.0 Mbps. The interface defaults to a baud rate of 115.2 Kbps coming out of reset.

The desired high-speed baud rate may be selected via a vendor-specific UART HCI command. The AW-

NH931 has a 480-byte receive FIFO and a 480-byte transmits FIFO to support EDR. The interface

supports the Bluetooth 2.1 UART HCI (H4) specification. The default baud rate for H4 is 115.2 k baud.

In order to support both high and low baud rates efficiently, the UART clock can be selected as either 24

or 48 MHz. Generally, the higher speed clock is needed for baud rates over 3 M baud, however a lower

speed clock may be used to achieve a more accurate baud rate under 3 M baud.

The legacy method of programming the high-speed baud rate of the AW-NH931 UART using DHBR and

DLBR values is also supported for backward compatibility with previous-generation Bluetooth devices.

Normally, the UART baud rate is set by a configuration record downloaded after reset, or by automatic

baud rate detection and the host does not need to adjust the baud rate. Support for changing the baud

rate during normal HCI UART operation is included through a vendor-specific command that allows the

host to adjust the contents of the baud rate registers.

The AW-NH931 UART operates correctly with the host UART, provided the combined baud rate error of

the two devices is within ±5%

2-4-2. PCM Interface

The PCM Interface on the AW-NH931 can connect to linear PCM Codec devices in master or slave

mode. In master mode, AW-NH931 generates the BT_PCM_CLK and BT_PCM_SYNC signals, and in

slave mode, these signals are provided by another master on the PCM interface and are inputs to the

AW-NH931. The AW-NH931 supports up to three SCO or eSCO channels through the PCM Interface

and each channel can be independently mapped to any of the available slots in a frame.

configuration of the PCM interface may be adjusted by the host through the use of Vendor Specific HCI

Commands.

2-5. SDIO Timing

The AW-NH931 has an internal power-on reset (POR) circuit. The device will be held in reset for a

maximum of 110 ms after VDDC and VDDIO have both passed the 0.6V threshold. Wait at least 110 ms

after VDD_CORE and VDDIO are available before initiating SDIO accesses. The external reset signals

are logically ORed with this POR. So if either the internal POR or one of the external resets is asserted,

the device will be in reset.

2-6. LPO Clock (RTC_CLK)

2-7. Power-On Sequence

The AW-NH931 has four signals that allow the host to control power consumption by enabling or

disabling the Bluetooth, WLAN and internal regulator blocks. These signals are described below.

Additionally, diagrams are provided to indicate proper sequencing of the signals for carious operating

states. The timing value indicated are minimum required values: longer delays are also acceptable.

Note: The WL_SHUTDOWN_N and BT_SHUTDOWN_N are ORed in the AW-NH931. The diagrams

show both signals going high at the same time (as would be the case if both SHUTDOWN signals were

controlled by a single host GPIO). If two independent host GPIOs are used (on for WL_SHUTDOWN_N

and one for BT_SHUTDOWN_N), then only one of two signals needs to be high to enable the AW-

NH931 regulators.

Also note that the reset requirements for the Bluetooth core are also applicable for the FM core. In other

words, if FM is to be used, then the Bluetooth core must be enabled.

WL_SHUTDOWN_N: Used by the PMU (along with BT_SHUTDOWN_N) to decide whether to power

down the internal AW-NH931 regulators. If both the BT_SHUTDOWN_N and WL_SHUTDOWN_N pins

are low, the regulators will be disabled.

BT_SHUTDOWN_N: Used by the PMU (along with WL_SHUTDOWN_N) to decide whether to power

down the internal AW-NH931 regulators. If both the BT_SHUTDOWN_N and WL_SHUTDOWN_N pins

are low, the regulators will be disabled.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This

equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your

body.

NOTE IMPORTANTE:

Déclaration d'exposition aux radiations:

Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements IC établies pour un

environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé avec un minimum de 20 cm de

distance entre la source de rayonnement et votre corps.

This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions: (For module device use)

1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and

2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna,

3) For all products market in Canada, OEM has to limit the operation channels in CH1 to CH11 for 2.4G

band by supplied firmware programming tool. OEM shall not supply any tool or info to the end-user

regarding to Regulatory Domain change.

As long as 3 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the

OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance

requirements required with this module installed.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type

and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio

interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent

isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

Cet appareil est conçu uniquement pour les intégrateurs OEM dans les conditions suivantes: (Pour

utilisation de dispositif module)

1) L'antenne doit être installée de telle sorte qu'une distance de 20 cm est respectée entre l'antenne et

les utilisateurs, et

2) Le module émetteur peut ne pas être coïmplanté avec un autre émetteur ou antenne,

3) Pour tous les produits vendus au Canada, OEM doit limiter les fréquences de fonctionnement CH1 à

CH11 pour bandes de fréquences 2.4G grâce aux outils de microprogrammation fournis. OEM ne doit

pas fournir d'outil ou d'informations à l'utilisateur final en ce qui concerne le changement de
