BISM2 Bluetooth™ Version 2.0 Serial Module
1. General Description
Ezurio’s BISM2 Bluetooth Serial Module is a fully integrated and qualified Class 1 Bluetooth solution
designed for lowest cost of integration and ownershi for designers wishing to incor orate Bluetooth
functionality into their roducts. The module is qualified to Bluetooth Version 2.0.
The BISM2 Bluetooth Serial Module is one of the most com act com lete Bluetooth solutions, making
it ideal to integrate into handheld devices. However a version of the BISM2 module is available that
retains the same board size, mounting holes and connector as the revious Bluetooth Module from
Ezurio, allowing users to access the im roved radio erformance and functionality without the need
for any cb modifications.
The BISM2 Module is based on Cambridge Silicon Radio’s BlueCore 04 chi set. The module contain
sall of the hardware and firmware for a com lete Bluetooth solution, requiring no further com onents.
The Module has an integrated, high erformance antenna which is matched with the Bluetooth RF and
baseband circuitry. The firmware integrated into the BC04 chi set im lements the higher layer
Bluetooth rotocol stack, u to and including the Generic Access Profile (GAP), Service Discovery
Profile (SDAP), Serial Port Profile (SPP), Dial U Networking Profile (DUN), Headset Profile (HSP),
Hands Free Profile (HFP), File Transfer Profile (FTP) and Audio Gateway. A virtual rocessor is used
within the BC04 to im lement an AT command rocessor. This interfaces to the host system over a
straight forward serial ort using an extensive range of AT commands. The AT command set abstracts
the Bluetooth rotocol from the host a lication, saving many months of rogramming and
integration time. It rovides extremely short integration times for data oriented cable re lacement
and voice a lications. A low cost develo ment system is available for fast roduct evaluation and
develo ment.
An alternative version of firmware is available that rovides rogramming su ort for multi- oint
a lications.
The Module can be configured so that it can be attached to a ‘dumb’ terminal or attached to a PC or
PDA for cable re lacement a lications.
In addition to the Bluetooth functionality, The BISM2 Module rovides access to 9 General I/O lines
and 2 analogue in ut and out ut lines. These can be configured to rovide connection to sim le
devices such as switches or LEDs without requiring any external rocessing. Both the GPIO and ADC
lines can be accessed either via the wired host UART connection, or remotely over the Bluetooth link.
The BISM2 module is su lied in a small form factor cb (22.0mm x 34.0mm x 7.6mm), that
connects to a main cb using a 40 way Hirose connector. The interface is com atible with the BISM1
module. The module includes a high sensitivity, high gain antenna which rovides excellent range.
Ty ical o en field erformance rovides ranges of over 250 metres at transmit owers of 4mW.
Su ort is rovided for low ower modes that make the BISM2 articularly a licable to battery
owered installations.
The BISM2 module is Lead-free and is RoHS com liant and su orts an industrial tem erature range
of -40°C to +85°C.

Single oint firmware is controlled and configured using AT
Commands. Standard multi oint firmware uses a sim le acket based
rotocol and requires a host to enable the module to function
effectively.
Single oint only allows a oint to oint connection whereas multi oint
allows more than one simultaneous connection.

2 x analogue (8 bit resolution)
Indicators 1 x rogrammable LED (small form factor board only)
Lead free Lead-free and RoHS com liant

Notes:
* The reset circuitry within the BISM Serial Modules now incor orates a brown-out detector within
the module. Customers migrating from revious modules should check their im lementation, as they
may be able to sim lify their external ower su ly design. The reset line has a fixed 10kOhm ull
down resistor to ground.
** Pins 33, 35 and 37 were N/C on BISM1. Pin 39 was a 1V8 monitor. Designers migrating between
designs should be aware that these are now available as I/O. Default configuration is as an in ut
PIO lines can be configured through software to be either in uts or out uts with weak or strong ull-
u s or ull-downs. At reset, all PIO lines are configured as in uts with weak ull-downs.
UART_RX, UART_TX, UART_CTS, UART_RTS, UART_RI, UART_DCD and UART_DSR are all 3.3v level
logic. For exam le, when RX and TX are idle they will be sitting at 3.3V. Conversely for handshaking
ins CTS, RTS, RI, DCD, DSR a 0v is treated as an assertion.
Pin 6 (UART_RI) is active low. It is normally 3.3v. When a remote device initiates a connection, this
in goes low. This means that when this in is converted to RS232 voltage levels it will have the
correct voltage level for assertion.

Pin 8 (UART_DCD) is active low. It is normally 3.3v. When a connection is live this in is low. This
means that when this in is converted to RS232 voltage levels it will have the correct voltage level for
assertion.
Pin 10 (UART_DSR) is an in ut, with active low logic. It should be connected to the DTR out ut of the
host. When the BISM2 Module is in high s eed mode (See definition for S Register 507), this in
should be asserted by the host to ensure that the connection is maintained. A deassertion is taken to
mean that the connection should be dro ed, or an online command mode is being requested.
Pin 27 (VCC_3V3 monitor) may only be used for monitoring ur oses. It must not be used as a
current source.
The GPIO ins can be accessed using S Registers 621 to 628. GPIO4 is connected to an LED on the
module. If these I/O ins are set for in ut, then the LED will be driven by the host and a ro riate
drive current requirements must be satisfied. A Logic 1 switches on the LED.
GPIO3 is also used for DTR out ut (active low). See S Register 552 & 553.
Analogue 0 and 1 should not exceed 1.8v and S Registers 701 and 702 are used to access them.
