With the Development Kit for the Bluetooth Platform Solution from Motorola, the company is launching a
unique demonstration and development tool for its platform.
The Development Kit contains all of the hardware, software, and documentation needed to evaluate the
functionality of the ICs making up Motorola’s Bluetooth platform solution chipset:
•MC71000 Bluetooth Baseband Controller IC
•MC13180 Bluetooth Low Power Wireless Data Transceiver IC
•MC13181 Wireless Power Management IC
Also, you can develop software and hardware solutions around the platform chipset. The Development Kit
makes it possible to easily and quickly set up and start demonstrating a Class 2 Bluetooth solution, and it
provides an efficient layout for the baseband and RF on an FR4 PCB substrate.
The primary applications of the Development Kit are:
•Evaluation of the platform chipset and its features
•Porting of a user Bluetooth stack to the Motorola Bluetooth hardware
•Prototyping of a Bluetooth-enabled host device
•Reference design for quick layout of a Bluetooth solution based on the MC71000 and MC13180
chipset
The Development Kit is Bluetooth 1.1 qualified and type approved in a great number of countries. See the
section “Regulatory”.
For detailed information on the ICs making up the platform chipset, please see the technical brief
accompanying each of the ICs: MC71000, MC13180, and MC13181. These technical briefs are all
included on the CD.
