5 Soldering Recommendations

This section describes the soldering recommendations regarding WT41u Module. WT41u is compatible with industrial standard reflow profile for Pb-free solders. The reflow profile used is
dependent on the thermal mass of the entire populated PCB, heat transfer efficiency of the oven, and particular type of solder paste used.
Refer to technical documentations of particular solder paste for profile configurations.
• Avoid using more than two reflow cycles.
• Aperture size of the stencil should be 1:1 with the pad size.
A no-clean, type-3 solder paste is recommended.
For further recommendation, please refer to the JEDEC/IPC J-STD-020, IPC-SM-782 and IPC 7351
guidelines.

6 Layout Guidelin es

Use good layout practices to avoid excessive noise coupling to supply voltage traces or sensitive analog signal traces, such as analog audio signa ls. If using overlapp ing ground planes use stitching vias se parated by max 3 mm to avoid emission f rom the edges of the PC B. Connect all the G ND pins direc tly to a solid GND plane and make s ure that ther e is a lo w impedanc e path for the r eturn cur rent f ollowing the s ignal an d supp ly 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 t o supply voltage planes and traces and route all the signals on top and bottom layers of the PCB. This arrangement will m ake sure that an y return current fo llows the forward c urrent as close as possible and any loops are minimized.

7 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 commun icate with the U ART at its maximum da ta rate using a standa rd PC, an acc elerated seri al
port adapter card is required for the PC.
Parameter Possible values
Data rate Minimum 1200bps (2% error)
9600bps (1% error)
Maximum 3Mbps (1% error) Flow control RTS/CTS or None Parity None, Odd or Even Number of stop bits 1 or 2 Bits per channel 8
Table 12: Possible UART Settings
The UART interface is capabl e of r esetti ng WT41u upon recept ion of a bre ak signal. A break is ide ntified b y a continuous logic low (0 V) 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 10: Break Signal
Table 17 shows a list of commonly used data rates and their associated values for PSKEY_UART _BAUD_RATE (0x2 04). There is no requirem ent to use these standard values. An y data rate within the supported range can be set in the PS Key according to the formula in Equation 1.

7.1 UART Bypass

Figure 11: UART Bypass Architecture

7.2 UART Configuration While Reset is Active

The UART interface for WT41u while the chip is being held in reset is tr istate. T his will allow the user to dais y chain devices onto the ph ysical UART bus. The constr aint on this method is that any devices c onnected to this bus must tristate when WT41u reset is de-asserted and the firmware begins to run.

7.3 UART Bypass Mo de

Alternatively, for de vices that do not tristate the UART bus, the UART bypass mode on the chipset can be used. The default state of the c hipset after reset is de-ass erted; this is for the hos t UART bus to be connec ted to the chipset U ART, 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 P IO[7:4] as Figure 11 indica tes. Once the bypass mode has been invoked, WT41u will enter the Deep Sleep state indefinitely.
In order to re-estab lish communication with WT41u, the chip m ust be reset so that the def ault configuration takes effect.
It is important for the host to ensure a clean Bluetooth disconnection of a ny active links before the b ypass mode is invoked. Therefore, it is not possible to have active Bluetooth links while operating the bypass mode.
The current consum ption for a device in UART bypass mode is equal to t he values quoted for a device in standby mode.
Page 23 of 44

8 USB Interface

This is a full speed (12Mbit s/s ) USB interf ace f or comm unicating with other com patible dig ital de vices. WT41u acts as a USB peripheral, responding to requests from a master host controller such as a PC.
The USB interface is capa ble of driving a USB cable directl y. No external USB transceiver is r equired. The device operates as a U SB 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 sec tion of the Blue tooth v2.1 + EDR specificat ion or alternat ively can appe ar as a set of endpoints appropriate to USB audio devices such as speak er s .
As USB is a master/slave oriented system (in common with other USB peripherals), WT41u only supports USB Slave operation.

8.1 USB Data Connections

The USB data lines em erge as pins USB_DP and USB_DN. These term inals are connected to the internal USB I/O buffers of the the c hipset, therefore, have a low output impedance. To matc h the connection to the characteristic impedance of the U SB c ab le, res ist ors m us t be p laced in series with US B_D P/U SB _DN and the cable.

8.2 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 pu ll-up is implem ented as a current source, and is compliant with section 7.1.5 of the USB specification v1.2. T he internal pull-up pulls USB_D P high to at least 2.8V when loaded with a 15kΩ 5% pull­down resistor (in the hub/h ost) when VDD_PADS = 3.1V. T his presents a Thevenin resista nce to the host of at least 900Ω. Alternati vely, an external 1.5kΩ pull-up resistor can be placed be tween a PIO line and D+ on the USB cable. T he firmware must be alerted to whic h mode is used by s etting PSKEY_US B_PIO_PULLUP appropriately. The default setting uses the internal pull-up resistor.

8.3 USB Power Supply

The USB specificatio n dictates that the minimum output h igh voltage for USB data lines is 2.8 V. 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.

8.4 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 wh ich to design, as the des ign is not limited by the power that can be dra wn from the USB hub or root port. However, it requires that VBUS be connected to WT41u via a resistor network (R
), so WT41u can detect when VBUS is powered u p. T he chipset will not pull USB_DP high when VBUS is

off.
vb1
and
Self-powered USB designs (powered f rom a batter y or PSU) must ens ure that a PIO line is a llocated f or USB pullup purposes. A 1. 5kΩ 5% pull-up resis tor between USB_D P and the selecte d PIO line sho uld be fitted t o 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.

8.5 Bus-Powered Mode

In bus-powered m ode, the application circuit dra ws its current from the 5V VBU S supply on the USB cabl e. WT41u negot iates with the PC during the US B enumeration stage about ho w much current it is allowed to consume. O n power-up the device must not draw more than 100 m A but af ter being conf igured it c an dra w up to 500 mA.
For WT41u, the USB power descriptor should be altered to reflect the amount of power required. This is accomplished by setti ng PSKEY_USB_MAX_POWER (0x2c6) . This is higher than for a Class 2 applicat ion due to the extra current drawn by the Transmit RF PA. By default for WT41u the setting is 300 mA.
When selecting a re gulator, be awar e that VBUS m ay go as low as 4.4V. The inrus h current (when charging reservoir and suppl y decoupling capacitors) is limited by the USB s pecification. See the USB Specification. Some applications m ay require sof t start c ircuitry to li mit inrush cur rent if m ore than 10uF is present between VBUS and GND. The 5V V BUS lin e emerging from a PC is of ten e lec tric al ly noisy. As well as regulation dow n to 3.3V and 1.8V, applications should include careful filtering of the 5V line to attenuate noise that is above the voltage regulator bandw idth. Excessive nois e on WT41u supply pins will result i n reduced receiver sensitivity and a distorted RF transmit signal.

Figure 14: USB Connections for Bus-Po wered Mode

8.6 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 dev ices m ust not dra w more th an 2.5m A from USB VBU S (se lf-powered devices m ay draw more than 2.5mA fr om their own su pply). This c urrent draw r equirement pr events operat ion of the r adio 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 pu ll-up resistor at t he device is 1.5 k Ω. (nominal). The pul l-down resistor at th e hub is
14.25kΩ. to 24.80kΩ. The pull-up voltage is nominall y 3.3V, which means that holding o ne 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 m ust be able to enter the s uspend mode.

8.7 USB Detach and Wake-Up Signaling

WT41u can provide out-of-band signa ling to a host controller b y using the control lines cal led USB_DETACH and USB_WAKE_UP. These are outside the USB specification (no w ires exis t f or t hem inside the USB cable) , but can be useful when embedding WT41u into a circuit where no extern al USB is visible t o 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 i nput which, when assert ed high, causes WT41u to put USB_DN an d 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 t o unplugging the dev ice. When USB_DET ACH is taken low, WT41u will connect back to USB and await enumeration by the USB host.
USB_WAKE_UP is an active high out put (used only when U SB_DETACH is ac tive) to wak e up the host a nd allow USB comm unication to recom mence. It repl aces the functi on of the soft ware USB W AKE_UP mes sage (which runs over the USB cable) an d cannot be sent while the chipset is effectively disconnected from the bus.

8.9 USB v2.0 Compliance and Compatibility

Although WT41u meets the USB specification, Silicon Labs cannot guarantee that an application circuit designed around the m odule is USB com pliant. The choic e of applicat ion circuit, component c hoice and PC B layout all affect USB sig nal quality and e lectrical char acteristics. T he inform ation in this document is intended as a guide and should be read in assoc iation with the USB spec ification, with part icular attention being gi ven to Chapter 7. Independent USB qual ification must be sought bef ore an applicatio n is deemed USB complian t and can bear the US B logo. Such qua lification can be obtained f rom a USB plugf est or from an in dependent 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 U SB v2.0 host contr ollers; under thes e circumstances the t wo ends agree the
mutually acceptable rate of 12Mbits/s according to the USB v2.0 specification.

10 PCM Codec Interface

PCM is a standard method used to digitize audio (particularly voice) for transmission over digital communication chann els. T hrough its PCM int erfac e, WT41u has hardware sup port f or c ontinual trans m ission and reception of PCM data, thus reducing processor overhead for wireless headset applications. WT41u offers a bidirection al digi tal aud io int er f ac e that r out es directly into the baseband la yer 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 f rom a SCO connection. Up to t hree SCO connections can be supported by the PCM interface at any one time.
WT41u can operate as the PCM interface master generating a n output clock of 128, 256 or 512kHz. When configured as PCM interface slave, it can operate with an input clock up to 20 48kHz. 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 sam ple 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 enab led b y setting PS K EY_ PCM_CONFIG32.
WT41u interfaces directly to PCM audio devices.
NOTE: Analog audio lines are very sensitive to RF disturbance. Use g ood layout practices to ensure noise less audio. Make sure that the r eturn path for the audio signals fo llow s t he forw ar d c ur rent all th e way as clos e as possible and use fully differential signals when possible. Do not compromise audio routing.

10.1 PCM Interface Master/Slave

When configured as the master of the PCM interface, WT41u generates PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC.
Figure 16: PCM Interface Master
When configured as the Slave of the PCM interface, WT41u accepts PCM_CLK rates up to 2048kHz.
Page 29 of 44

10.2 Long Frame Sync

Figure 17: PCM Interface Slave
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. W hen WT41u is conf igured as PCM Slave, PCM_S YNC may be from two consec utive falling edges of PCM_CLK to half the PCM_SYNC rate, i.e., 62.5s long.
Figure 18: 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 configur ed to be high impedance on the fallin g edge of PCM_CLK in the LSB posit ion or on the rising edge.

10.3 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.
Page 30 of 44
Figure 19: 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 ris ing edge. PCM_OUT may be conf igured to be high impedance on the falling edge of PCM_CLK in the LSB position or on the rising edge.

10.4 Multi-slot Operation

More than one SCO c onnection over the PCM interf ace is supported using multi ple slots. Up to three SCO connections can be carried over any of the first four slots.
Figure 20: Multi-slot Operation with Two Slots and 8-bit Companded Samples

10.5 GCI Interface

WT41u is com patible with the GCI, a standar d sync hronous 2B +D ISDN tim ing i nterface. T he two 64k bits/s B channels can be accessed when this mode is configured.
Page 31 of 44
Figure 21: GCI Interface
The start of fram e is indicated by the rising edge of PCM_SYNC and runs at 8k Hz. With WT41u in Slave mode, the frequency of PCM_CLK can be up to 4.096MHz.

10.6 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 c lock cycles. Durations of 8 clock cycles may only be used with 8-bit s ample 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. W hen 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.
Page 32 of 44
Figure 22: 16-bit Slot Length and Sample Formats

10.7 Additional Features

WT41u has a mute f acility that f orces PCM_OUT to be 0. In m as ter mode, PCM_S YNC m a y also be forced to 0 while keeping PCM_CLK running which some codecs use to control power down.

10.8 PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC Generation

WT41u has two m ethods of generating PCM_CL K and PCM_SYNC in mas ter mode. The first is generating these signals by DD S from the chipset interna l 4MHz clock. Using this mode limits PCM_CLK to 128, 25 6 or 512kHz and PCM_SYNC to 8kHz. The second is generating PCM_C LK 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_CONFIG3 2. When in this mode and with long fram e sync, the length of PCM_S YNC 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:
Page 33 of 44
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.

10.9 PCM Configuration

The PCM configuration is set using two PS Keys, PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32 detailed in Table 18 and PSKEY_PCM_LOW _JITT ER_CONFIG in Tabl e 19. Th e default f or P SKEY_PC M_CO NFIG 32 is 0x 008000 00, 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.

11 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 c onfigured through software to have either weak or strong pull-ups or pull-downs. All PI O
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] includ e an 8-bit ADC and an 8-bit DAC. Typically the A DC 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 cl ock frequency. When used with analogue sign als, 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 lev el is determined by VDD.

11.1 PIO Defaults

Silicon Labs can not guarantee that these term inal functions remain the sam e. Refer to the software releas e note for the implementation of these PIO lines, as they are firmware build-specific.
Page 37 of 44

12 Reset

WT41u may be reset from several sources: RESET pin, power on reset, a UART break character or via software configured watc hdog timer. The RESET pin is an active lo w reset and is internally filtered using the internal low frequenc y clock oscillator. A reset will be per formed between 1.5 and 4.0ms following RES ETB 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 m odule f alls below typically 1.5V and is released when VDD _CORE rises above t ypically 1.6V. At res et the digital I/O pins ar e 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 f lash m emory. Foll owing f igure sho ws an example of a s imple pow er up reset circuit. Time constant of the RC circuitry is set so that the supply voltage is safely stabilized before the reset deactivates.
