Embedded Intelligent Bluetooth™ Serial Module
Part Number: BISMS02BI-01
1. General Description
Ezurio’s Em edded Intelligent Bluetooth Serial Module is a fully integrated and qualified Class 1 Bluetooth solution
designed for lowest cost of integration and ownership for designers wishing to include Bluetooth functionality in
their products. The module is qualified to Bluetooth Version 2.0.
The Em edded Intelligent Bluetooth Serial Module is designed to give a rugged solution that is ideal for industrial
automation and ruggedised handheld devices. It works over a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The
physical form of the module allows designers to mount the antenna section of the module outside a screened
enclosure.
The Em edded Intelligent Serial Module is ased on Cam ridge Silicon Radio’s BlueCore4 chipset. The module
contains all of the hardware and firmware for a complete Bluetooth solution, requiring no further components.
The Module has an integrated, high performance antenna which is matched with the Bluetooth RF and ase and
circuitry. The firmware integrated into the module implements the higher layer Bluetooth protocol stack, up to
and including the Generic Access Profile (GAP), Service Discovery Profile (SDAP), Serial Port Profile (SPP) and
Audio Gateway. A virtual processor is used within the BC04 to implement an AT command processor. This
interfaces to the host system over a straight forward serial port using an extensive range of AT commands. The
AT command set a stracts the Bluetooth protocol from the host application, saving many months of programming
and integration time. It provides extremely short integration times for data oriented ca le replacement and voice
applications. A low cost development system and integrated RS232 products with the same firmware are
availa le for fast product evaluation and development.
An alternative version of firmware is availa le that provides support for multi-point applications.
The Module can e configured so that it can e attached to a ‘dum ’ terminal or attached to a PC or PDA for ca le
replacement applications.
In addition to the Bluetooth functionality, The Em edded Intelligent Serial Module provides access to 6 General
I/O lines and one ADC input. These can e configured to extend the UART control or to provide connection to
simple devices such as switches or LEDs without requiring any external processing. The GPIO lines can e
accessed either via the wired host UART connection, or remotely over the Bluetooth link. Support is also provided
for a PCM connection to an external audio codec.
The Em edded Intelligent Bluetooth Module is supplied in a small form factor PCB (17.7mm x 46.0mm x 5.0mm),
that solders directly. The module includes a high sensitivity, high gain antenna which provides excellent range.
Typical open field performance provides ranges of over 250 metres at transmit powers of 4mW.
Support is provided for low power modes that make the Em edded Intelligent Bluetooth Module particularly
applica le to attery powered installations.
The Em edded Intelligent Bluetooth Module is Lead-free and RoHS compliant and supports an industrial operating
temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Notes:
* The reset line has a fixed 10kOhm pull up resistor with the reset eing active low.
PIO lines can e configured through software to e either inputs or outputs with weak or strong pull-ups or pull-
downs. At reset, all PIO lines are configured as inputs with weak pull-downs.
UART_RX, UART_TX, UART_CTS, UART_RTS, UART_RI, UART_DCD and UART_DSR are all 3.0v level logic. For
example, when RX and TX are idle they will e sitting at 3.0V. Conversely for handshaking pins CTS, RTS, RI,
DCD, DSR a 0v is treated as an assertion.
Pin 22 (UART_RI) is active low. It is normally 3.0v. When a remote device initiates a connection, this pin goes
low. This means that when this pin is converted to RS232 voltage levels it will have the correct voltage level for
assertion.
Pin 21 (UART_DCD) is active low. It is normally 3.0v. When a connection is live this pin is low. This means that
when this pin is converted to RS232 voltage levels it will have the correct voltage level for assertion.
Pin 28 (UART_DSR) is an input, with active low logic. It should e connected to the DTR output of the host. When
the Module is in high speed mode (See definition for S Register 507), this pin should e asserted y the host to
ensure that the connection is maintained. A deassertion is taken to mean that the connection should e dropped,
or an online command mode is eing requested.
The GPIO pins can e accessed using S Registers in the range 623 to 629. GPIO4 and 5 are connected to
unpopulated LED pads on the module. If these I/O pins are set for input, then the LED will e driven y the host
and appropriate drive current requirements must e satisfied. A Logic 1 switches on the LED.
GPIO3 is shares the pin with DTR output (active low). See S Register 552 & 553.
Analogue 0 input should not exceed 1.8v. S Register 701 is used to access it.

The module contains a power on reset circuit that ensures the module is reset at power on. The internal reset
circuit is triggered when the input voltage to the module drops elow ~1.7V and is hence only suita le for
providing a power on reset signal. If the supply voltage to the module can drop elow the minimum voltage level
in normal operation, then it is recommended that an external rownout circuit is provided to assert the module
reset and to ensure that the module is reset when the module supply voltage drops elow 3.1V.
This will ensure that the module will return to an operational state when the supply voltage comes ack within
specification. For example, if the module supply can drop to 2.7V and then e restored to 3.3V there is no
guarantee that the module will still e operational unless the reset signal has een asserted.

Terminology:
USB Signal Levels. vdd_us refers to the internal voltage generated y the LDO regulator on the module, which
is typically 3.1V. Hence 0.3vdd_us and 0.7vdd_us correspond to 0.9 V to 2.1V. If Vcc falls elow the
recommended minimum of 3.3V, USB operation cannot e guaranteed.
The USB lines cannot e accessed when using AT firmware.
4. I/O Characteristics
4.1 Power Consumption
The current drain from the Vcc power input line is dependent on various factors. The three most significant factors
are the voltage level at Vcc, UART Baudrate and the operating mode.
The hardware specification for the Module allows for a voltage range of 3.3 to 7.0 at Vcc. Tests have shown that
where power drain is an issue, it is est to keep Vcc at the lower end of the range.
The UART Baudrate has a earing on power drain ecause as is normal for digital electronics, the power
requirements increase linearly with increasing clocking frequencies. Hence higher audrates result in a higher
current drain.
Finally with regards to operating mode the significant modes are; idle, waiting for a connection, inquiring,
initiating a connection, sniff and connected. With connected mode, it is also relevant to differentiate etween no
data eing transferred and when data is eing transferred at the maximum rate possi le. The AT command Set
document descri es how to configure the Module for optimal power performance.

6. Functional Description
The Em edded Intelligent Bluetooth module is a self-contained Bluetooth product and requires only power to
implement full Bluetooth communication. The integrated, high performance antenna together with the RF and
Base- and circuitry provides the Bluetooth wireless link and the UART interface provides a connection to the host
system.
The variety of interfaces and the AT command set allow the Em edded Intelligent Bluetooth Module to e used for
a wide num er of short range wireless applications, from simple ca le replacement to complex multipoint
applications, where multiple radio links are active at the same time.
The complexity and flexi ility of configuration are made simple for the design engineer y the integration of an
extremely comprehensive set of AT commands, supplemented with a range of “S” registers which are used for
non-volatile storage of system parameters. These are fully documented in the “Blu2i AT Command Reference
Manual”.
6.1 Inter aces
6.1.1 UART inter ace
UART_TX, UART_RX, UART_RTS and UART_CTS form a conventional asynchronous serial data port with
handshaking. The interface is designed to operate correctly when connected to other UART devices such as the
16550A. The signalling levels are nominal 0V and 3.0V and are inverted with respect to the signalling on an
RS232 ca le. The interface is programma le over a variety of aud rates; no, even or odd parity. The default
condition on power-up is pre-assigned in the external Flash. Two-way hardware flow control is implemented y
UART_RTS and UART_CTS. UART_RTS is an output and is active low. UART_CTS is an input and is active low.
These signals operate according to normal industry convention.
By writing different values to the relevant S register the UART_RI can e continuously polled to detect incoming
communication. The UART_RI signal serves to indicate incoming calls.
UART_DSR is an active low input. It should e connected to DTR output of the host. When the module is running
in high speed mode (See definition for S Reg 507), this pin should e asserted y the host to ensure connection is
maintained. A de-assertion is taken to mean that the connection should e dropped, or an online command mode
is eing requested.
The module communicates with the customer application using the following signals:

RS-232
Port /TXD @ application sends data to the module’s UART_RX signal line
Port /RXD @ application receives data from the module’s UART_TX signal line
Figure 6.1 : UART interfaces
Note that the serial module output is at 3.0V CMOS logic levels. Level conversion must e added to interface with
an RS-232 level compliant interface.
6.1.2 GPIO Port
Eight lines of programma le i-directional input/outputs (I/O) are provided that can e accessed either via the
UART port, or Over The Air (OTA) from a second Bluetooth unit. These can e used as data inputs or to control
external equipment. By using these in OTA mode, an em edded Bluetooth Serial module can e used for control
and data acquisition without the need for any additional host processor. A further line can e used as an input.
Each of the GPIO ports can e independently configured to e either an Input or Output. A selection of ports can
e accessed synchronously.
The ports are powered from VCC. The mode of these lines can e configured and the lines are accessed via S
Registers in the range 623 to 629.
Low latency I/O can e accessed y using Ezurio’s I/O via an enhanced inquiry process.
6.1.3 PCM CODEC Inter ace
PCM_OUT, PCM_IN, PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC carry up to three i-directional channels of voice data, each at
8ksamples/s. The format of the PCM samples can e 8- it A-law, 8- it µ-law, 13- it linear or 16- it linear. The
PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC terminals can e configured as inputs or outputs, depending on whether the module is
the Master or Slave of the PCM interface.
In applications where the PCM master cannot supply a clock signal, the module can e configured to generate a
clock signal on this GPIO: PCM_SLVCLK. Please contact an Ezurio FAE for further details.
The Module is compati le with the Motorola SSI TM interface and interfaces directly to PCM audio devices
including the following:
6.1.3.1Compatible Codec Chips
•Qualcomm MSM 3000 series and MSM 5000 series CDMA ase and devices
•OKI MSM7705 four channel A-law and µ-law CODEC
•Motorola MC145481 8- it A-law and µ-law CODEC
•Motorola MC145483 13- it linear CODEC

www.ezurio.com DSH_BT024-00200_1v4 © Ezurio Ltd 2006 10
6.1.4 ADC
The module provides access to one 8- it ADC. This provides an input range of 0mV to 1,800mV, which can e
read using S register 701.
Suita le external scaling and over-voltage protection should e incorporated in your design. The module provides
5 samples per second at the UART with a aud rate of 115,200 or a ove.
Low latency access of the upper 6 its of the ADCs can e o tained y using Ezurio’s I/O via an enhanced inquiry
process.
6.1.5 LEDs
Pads are provided to allow two LEDs to e added for diagnostic purposes. They are controlled y an S registers
624 and 625 to display the status of various parameters and are useful for de ug and test.
7. Integrated Firmware
7.1 General
The Em edded Intelligent Serial Module has een designed to provide the fastest route to market for designers
who wish to use Bluetooth to wirelessly ena le their products. To achieve this Ezurio has implemented a wide
ranging set of AT commands that control all of the standard Bluetooth tasks. These remove the complexity of
Bluetooth from the design engineer and allow the wireless link to e controlled y means of a simple set of
commands.
For applications where multiple concurrent live connections need to e maintained a variant of firmware is
availa le which is specifically targeted at multipoint operation.
For oth applications a comprehensive range of windows ased software is availa le to speed up the design
process. A low cost development kit is also availa le that can e used for prototyping oth ca le replacement
and multipoint applications.
7.2 Pro iles
Bluetooth has een designed to accommodate a very wide range of wireless applications. To ena le these
different applications the Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group) has defined a series of different profiles that
define the way in which Bluetooth devices communicate with each other and perform asic functions. These
provide a ase line of interopera ility for specific application scenarios, upon which more complex user
applications can e developed.
There are over 30 different profiles, many of which have een developed for specific applications. The Em edded
Intelligent Serial Module firmware is provided with support for the profiles that are most commonly required for
ca le replacement applications.
The current profiles support includes:
GAP Generic Access Profile The ase connection profile upon which others are ased.
SDP Service Discovery Profile The profile to find other Bluetooth devices and the services
they support.
SPP Emulation of a serial ca le for ca le replacement applications.
DUN Dial Up Networking Profile support for connection to an external PSTN, GSM, GPRS
or VPN connection.
AG Audio Gateway The ase element for Headset and Handsfree profile. A portion
of these profiles must e implemented within the host system.
HSP Headset Profile Supports early implementations of headsets. Now largely
replaced y the:
HFP Hands-free profile which provides more control over the headset operation.
FTP File Transfer Profile (full client support).
