Preliminary Data Sheet

BCM4330
Single Chip IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n MAC/Baseband/ Radio with Integrated Bluetooth 4.0 + HS and FM Transceiver
GE N ER A L DE S CR I P TI O N The Broadcom BCM4330 single chip device provides for the highest level of integration for a mobile or handheld wireless system, with integrated IEEE 802.11 a/b/g and single-stream 802.11n (MAC/baseband/radio), Bluetooth 4.0 + HS, and FM radio receiver and transmitter. It includes on-chip 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WLAN CMOS power amplifiers that meet the output power requirements of most handheld systems while permitting an optional external power amplifier for higher output power applications, if required. Utilizing advanced design techniques and process technology to reduce active and idle power, the BCM4330 is designed to address the needs of highly mobile devices that require minimal power consumption and compact size. It includes a power management unit which simplifies the system power topology and allows for operation directly from a mobile platform battery while maximizing battery life.
VIO

F E A T U RE S The BCM4330 implements the highly sophisticated Enhanced Collaborative Coexistence radio coexistence algorithms and hardware mechanisms, allowing for an extremely collaborative Bluetooth coexistence scheme along with coexistence support for external radios (such as GPS, WiMax, or Ultra Wide-band radio technologies, as well as cellular radios) and a single shared antenna (2.4 GHz antenna for Bluetooth and WLAN). As a result, enhanced overall quality for simultaneous voice, video, and data transmission on a handheld system is achieved. For the WLAN section, two alternative host interface options are included: an SDIO v2.0 interface that can operate in 4b, 1b, or gSPI modes, and an HSIC interface. An independent, high-speed UART is provided for the Bluetooth host interface. Package options include 4.89 mm x 5.33 mm WLBGA and WLCSP, and 6.5 mm x 6.5 mm FCFBGA.

Mobile Phone Usage Model

Mobile Phone Usage Model


The BCM4330 incorporates a number of unique features to simplify integration into mobile phone platforms. Its flexible PCM and UART interfaces enable it to transparently connect with the existing circuits. In addition, the TCXO and LPO inputs allow the use of existing handset features to further minimize the size, power, and cost of the complete system. The PCM interface provides multiple modes of operation to support both master and slave as well as hybrid interfacing to single or multiple external codec devices. The UART interface supports hardware flow control with tight integration to power control sideband signaling to support the lowest power operation. The TCXO interface accommodates any of the typical reference frequencies used by cell phones. An analog FM receiver interface is available for legacy systems. FM digital interfaces can use either I2S or PCM. The highly linear design of the radio transceiver ensures that the device has the lowest spurious emissions output regardless of the state of operation. It has been fully characterized in the global cellular bands. The transceiver design has excellent blocking (eliminating desensitization of the Bluetooth receiver) and intermodulation performance (distortion of the transmitted signal caused by the mixing of the cellular and Bluetooth transmissions) in the presence of a any cellular transmission (GSM, GPRS, CDMA, WCDMA, or iDEN). Minimal external filtering is required for integration inside the handset. The BCM4330 is designed to provide direct interface with new and existing handset designs as shown in Figure 3.

BCM4330 Preliminary Data Sheet

Power Supplies and Power Management

Section 2: Power Supplies and Power Management


Power Supply Topology
One Buck regulator, four LDO regulators, and a Power Management Unit (PMU) are integrated into the BCM4330. All regulators are programmable via the PMU. These blocks simplify power supply design for Bluetooth, WLAN, and FM functions in embedded designs. All regulator inputs and outputs are brought out to pins on the BCM4330. This allows maximum flexibility for the system designer to choose which of the BCM4330 integrated regulators to use. A single host power supply can be used (including VBATT ranging from 2.3V to 4.8V) with all additional voltages being provided by the regulators in the BCM4330. Two control signals, BT_REG_ON and WL_REG_ON, are used to power-up the regulators. The CBuck CLDO and LNLDO power up when any of the reset signals are de-asserted. All regulators are powered down only when both resets are asserted. The CLDO and LNLDO may be turned off/on based on the dynamic demands of the digital baseband.

Voltage Regulators
All BCM4330 regulator output voltages are PMU-programmable and have the following nominal ratings. The currents listed below indicate the capabilities of each regulator. See Section 21: System Power Consumption, on page 148 for the actual operating loads. Core Buck switching regulator (CBUCK): 2.3 4.8V in; nominal 1.5V, up to 500 mA out LDO3p1: 2.3 4.8V in; nominal 3.1V, up to 80 mA out LDO3p3: 2.3 4.8 in; nominal 3.3V, up to 80 mA out CLDO (for the core): 1.5V in; nominal 1.2V, up to 150 mA out Low-noise LNLDO1: 1.5V in; nominal 1.2V, up to 300 mA out

WLAN Power Management

WLAN Power Management


The BCM4330 has been designed with the stringent power consumption requirements of mobile devices in mind. All areas of the chip design are optimized to minimize power consumption. Silicon processes and cell libraries were chosen to reduce leakage current and supply voltages. Additionally, the BCM4330 integrated RAM is a high Vt memory with dynamic clock control. The dominant supply current consumed by the RAM is leakage current only. Additionally, the BCM4330 includes an advanced WLAN power management unit (PMU) sequencer. The PMU sequencer provides significant power savings by putting the BCM4330 into various power management states appropriate to the current environment and activities that are being performed. The power management unit enables and disables internal regulators, switches, and other blocks based on a computation of the required resources and a table that describes the relationship between resources and the time needed to enable and disable them. Power up sequences are fully programmable. Configurable, freerunning counters (running from the 32.768 kHz LPO clock) in the PMU sequencer are used to turn on/turn off individual regulators and power switches. Clock speeds are dynamically changed (or gated off) based on the instantaneous requirements of the system. Slower clock speeds are used wherever possible. The BCM4330 WLAN power states are described as follows: Active mode All components in the BCM4330 are powered up and fully functional with active carrier sensing and frame transmission and receiving. All required regulators are enabled and put in the most efficient mode (PWM or Burst) based on the load current. Clock speeds are dynamically adjusted by the PMU sequencer. Doze mode The radio, analog front end (AFE), PLLs, and the ROMs are powered down. The rest of the BCM4330 remains powered up in an IDLE state. All main clocks are shut down. The 32.768 kHz LPO clock is available only for the PMU sequencer. This condition is necessary to allow the PMU sequencer to wake up the chip and transition to Active mode. In Doze mode, the primary power consumed is due to leakage current. The external switcher and internal baseband switcher are put into Burst mode (for better efficiency at low load currents). Power-down mode The BCM4330 is effectively powered off by shutting down all internal regulators. The chip is brought out of this mode by external logic re-enabling the internal regulators.

Resource requests may come from several sources: clock requests from cores, the minimum resources defined in the ResourceMin register, and the resources requested by any active resource request timers. The PMU sequencer maps clock requests into a set of resources required to produce the requested clocks. Each resource is in one of four states: enabled, disabled, transition_on, and transition_off and has a timer that contains 0 when the resource is enabled or disabled and a non-zero value in the transition states. The timer is loaded with the resource's time_on or time_off value when the PMU determines that the resource must be enabled or disabled. That timer decrements on each 32.768 kHz PMU clock. When it reaches 0, the state changes from transition_off to disabled or transition_on to enabled. If the time_on value is 0, the resource can go immediately from disabled to enabled. Similarly, a time_off value of 0 indicates that the resource can go immediately from enabled to disabled. The terms enable sequence and disable sequence refer to either the immediate transition or the timer load-decrement sequence. During each clock cycle, the PMU sequencer performs the following actions: 1. Computes the required resource set based on requests and the resource dependency table. 2. Decrements all timers whose values are non zero. If a timer reaches 0, the PMU clears the ResourcePending bit for the resource and inverts the ResourceState bit. 3. Compares the request with the current resource status and determines which resources must be enabled or disabled. 4. Initiates a disable sequence for each resource that is enabled, no longer being requested, and has no powered up dependents. 5. Initiates an enable sequence for each resource that is disabled, is being requested, and has all of its dependencies enabled.

BCM4330 Preliminary Data Sheet

Low-Power Shutdown

Low-Power Shutdown
The BCM4330 provides a low-power shutdown feature that allows the device to be turned off while the host, and any other devices in the system, remain operational. When the BCM4330 is not needed in the system, VDDRF and VDDC are shut down while VDDO remains powered. This allows the BCM4330 to be effectively off while keeping the I/O pins powered so that they do not draw extra current from any other devices connected to the I/O. During a low-power shut-down state, provided VDDO remains applied to the BCM4330, all outputs are tristated, and most inputs signals are disabled. Input voltages must remain within the limits defined for normal operation. This is done to prevent current paths or create loading on any digital signals in the system, and enables the BCM4330 to be fully integrated in an embedded device and take full advantage of the lowest power-savings modes. Two signals on the BCM4330, the frequency reference input (WRF_XTAL_ON) and the LPO input, are designed to be high-impedance inputs that do not load down the driving signal even if the chip does not have VDDO power applied to it. When the BCM4330 is powered on from this state, it is the same as a normal power-up and the device does not contain any information about its state from before it was powered down.

Reset Circuits

Reset Circuits
The BCM4330 has three signals (see Table 1) that enable or disable the Bluetooth and WLAN circuits and the internal regulator blocks, allowing the host to control power consumption. For timing diagrams of these signals and the required power-up sequences, see Section 23: Power-Up Sequence and Timing, on page 158. Table 1: Reset Control Signals Signal WL_REG_ON Description This signal is used by the PMU (with BT_REG_ON) to power up the WLAN section. It is also ORgated with the BT_REG_ON input to control the internal BCM4330 regulators. When this pin is high, the regulators are enabled and the WLAN section is out of reset. When this pin is low, the WLAN section is in reset. If BT_REG_ON and WL_REG_ON are both low, the regulators are disabled. Logic High Level: 1.08V3.6V. 200k pull-down resistor included. This signal is used by the PMU (with WL_REG_ON) to decide whether or not to power down the internal BCM4330 regulators. If BT_REG_ON and WL_REG_ON are low, the regulators will be disabled. Logic High Level: 1.08V3.6V. 200k pull-down resistor included. Low asserting reset for the Bluetooth core. This pin has no effect on WLAN and does not control any PMU functions. It must be driven high or low (not left floating).

BT_REG_ON

BT_RST_N

In addition, two other input signals control PMU modes: When EXT_SMPS_REQ is pulled high, it forces CBUCK to stay on, even when the other regulators are shut down by WL_REG_ON or BT_REG_ON. When WLAN and/or Bluetooth are out of reset and EXT_SMPS_REQ is high, then pulling EXT_PWM_REQ high makes CBUCK go into PWM mode, even if internal settings from WLAN and/or Bluetooth are requesting burst mode. During such contention, the request for the higher-power mode wins.

Frequency References

Section 3: Frequency References


An external crystal is used for generating all radio frequencies and normal operation clocking. As an alternative, an external frequency reference driven by a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) signal may be used. In addition, a low-power oscillator (LPO) is provided for lower power mode timing. Note: The crystal and TCXO implementations have different power supplies (WRF_XTAL_VDD1P2 for crystal, WRF_TCXO_VDD for TCXO).

Crystal Interface and Clock Generation


The BCM4330 can use an external crystal to provide a frequency reference. The recommended configuration for the crystal oscillator including all external components is shown in Figure 5. Consult the reference schematics for the latest configuration.

Figure 5: Recommended Oscillator Configuration A fractional-N synthesizer in the BCM4330 generates the radio frequencies, clocks, and data/packet timing, enabling it to operate using a wide selection of frequency references. For SDIO applications the default frequency reference is a 37.4 MHz crystal or TCXO. For HSIC applications, the recommended frequency reference is also 37.4 MHz. The signal characteristics for the crystal interface are listed in Table 2 on page 32. Note: The fractional-N synthesizer can support many reference frequencies. However, frequencies other than the default require support to be added in the driver plus additional, extensive system testing. Contact Broadcom for further details.

TCXO

TCXO
As an alternative to a crystal, an external precision TCXO can be used as the frequency reference, provided that it meets the Phase Noise requirements listed in Table 2 on page 32. When the clock is provided by an external TCXO, there are two possible connection methods, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7: 1. If the TCXO is dedicated to driving the BCM4330, it should be connected to the WRF_XTAL_OP pin through an external 1000 pF coupling capacitor, as shown in Figure 6. The internal clock buffer connected to this pin will be turned OFF when the BCM4330 goes into sleep mode. When the clock buffer turns ON and OFF there will be a small impedance variation. Power must be supplied to the WRF_XTAL_VDD1P2 pin. 2. For 2.4 GHz operation only, an alternative is to DC-couple the TCXO to the WRF_TCXO_IN pin, as shown in Figure 7. Use this method when the same TCXO is shared with other devices and a change in the input impedance is not acceptable because it may cause a frequency shift that cannot be tolerated by the other device sharing the TCXO. This pin is connected to a clock buffer powered from WRF_TCXO_VDD. If the power supply to this buffer is always on (even in sleep mode), the clock buffer is always on, thereby ensuring a constant input impedance in all states of the device. The maximum current drawn from WRF_TCXO_VDD is approximately 500 A.

Frequency Selection

Frequency Selection
Any frequency within the ranges specified for the crystal and TCXO reference may be used. These include not only the standard handset reference frequencies of 12, 13, 14.4, 16.2, 16.8, 19.2, 19.44, 19.68, 19.8, 20, 26, 37.4, and 52 MHz, but also other frequencies in this range, with approximately 80 Hz resolution. The BCM4330 must have the reference frequency set correctly in order for any of the UART or PCM interfaces to function correctly, since all bit timing is derived from the reference frequency. Note: The fractional-N synthesizer can support many reference frequencies. However, frequencies other than the default require support to be added in the driver plus additional, extensive system testing. Contact Broadcom for further details. The reference frequency for the BCM4330 may be set in the following ways: Set the xtalfreq=xxxxx parameter in the nvram.txt file (used to load the driver) to correctly match the crystal frequency. Auto-detect any of the standard handset reference frequencies using an external LPO clock. For applications such as handsets and portable smart communication devices, where the reference frequency is one of the standard frequencies commonly used, the BCM4330 automatically detects the reference frequency and programs itself to the correct reference frequency. In order for auto frequency detection to work correctly, the BCM4330 must have a valid and stable 32.768 kHz LPO clock that meets the requirements listed in Table 3 on page 35 and is present during power-on reset.

The Broadcom BCM4330 is a Bluetooth 4.0 + EDR-compliant, baseband processor/ 2.4 GHz transceiver with an integrated FM/ RDS/RBDS receiver and FM/RDS transmitter. It features the highest level of integration and eliminates all critical external components, thus minimizing the footprint, power consumption, and system cost of a Bluetooth plus FM radio solution. The BCM4330 is the optimal solution for any Bluetooth voice and/or data application that also requires an FM radio receiver and transmitter. The Bluetooth subsystem presents a standard Host Controller Interface (HCI) via a high speed UART and PCM for audio. The FM subsystem supports the HCI control interface, analog output, as well as I2S and PCM interfaces. The BCM4330 incorporates all Bluetooth 4.0 features including Secure Simple Pairing, Sniff Subrating, and Encryption Pause and Resume.

BCM4330 Preliminary Data Sheet

Bluetooth Radio

Bluetooth Radio
The BCM4330 has an integrated radio transceiver that has been optimized for use in 2.4 GHz Bluetooth wireless systems. It has been designed to provide low-power, low-cost, robust communications for applications operating in the globally available 2.4 GHz unlicensed ISM band. It is fully compliant with the Bluetooth Radio Specification and EDR specification and meets or exceeds the requirements to provide the highest communication link quality of service.

Transmit
The BCM4330 features a fully integrated zero-IF transmitter. The baseband transmit data is GFSK-modulated in the modem block and upconverted to the 2.4 GHz ISM band in the transmitter path. The transmitter path consists of signal filtering, I/Q upconversion, output power amplifier, and RF filtering. The transmitter path also incorporates /4 DQPSK for 2 Mbps and 8 DPSK for 3 Mbps to support EDR. The transmitter section is compatible to the Bluetooth Low Energy specification. The transmitter PA bias can also be adjusted to provide Bluetooth Class 1 operation.

Digital Modulator
The digital modulator performs the data modulation and filtering required for the GFSK, /4 DQPSK, and 8 DPSK signal. The fully digital modulator minimizes any frequency drift or anomalies in the modulation characteristics of the transmitted signal and is much more stable than direct VCO modulation schemes.

Digital Demodulator and Bit Synchronizer


The digital demodulator and bit synchronizer take the low-IF received signal and perform an optimal frequency tracking and bit-synchronization algorithm.

Power Amplifier
The fully integrated PA supports Class 1 or Class 2 output using a highly linearized, temperature-compensated design. This provides greater flexibility in front-end matching and filtering. The fully integrated PA supports Class 1 and Class 2 output using a temperature-compensated, auto-transformer-based design. This provides a simplified front end that does not require off-chip components for matching and better efficiency. External filtering is required for meeting Bluetooth and regulatory harmonic and spurious requirements. For integrated mobile handset applications where the Bluetooth is integrated next to the cellular radio, minimal external filtering can be applied to achieve near thermal noise levels for spurious and radiated noise emissions. The transmitter features a sophisticated on-chip transmit signal strength indicator (TSSI) block to keep the absolute output power variation within a tight range across process, voltage, and temperature.

BCM4330 Preliminary Data Sheet

Bluetooth Radio

Receiver
The receiver path uses a low-IF scheme to downconvert the received signal for demodulation in the digital demodulator and bit synchronizer. The receiver path provides a high degree of linearity, an extended dynamic range, and high-order on-chip channel filtering to ensure reliable operation in the noisy 2.4 GHz ISM band. The front-end topology with built-in out-of-band attenuation enables the BCM4330 to be used in most applications with no off-chip filtering. For integrated handset operation, where the Bluetooth function is integrated close to the cellular transmitter, minimal external filtering is required to eliminate the desensitization of the receiver by the cellular transmit signal.

Digital Demodulator and Bit Synchronizer


The digital demodulator and bit synchronizer take the low-IF received signal and perform an optimal frequency tracking and bit synchronization algorithm.

Receiver Signal Strength Indicator


The radio portion of the BCM4330 provides a Receiver Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) signal to the baseband, so that the controller can take part in a Bluetooth power-controlled link by providing a metric of its own receiver signal strength to determine whether the transmitter should increase or decrease its output power.

Local Oscillator Generation


Local Oscillator (LO) generation provides fast frequency hopping (1600 hops/second) across the 79 maximum available channels. The LO generation subblock employs an architecture for high immunity to LO pulling during PA operation. The BCM4330 uses an internal RF and IF loop filter.

Calibration
The BCM4330 radio transceiver features an automated calibration scheme that is fully self contained in the radio. No user interaction is required during normal operation or during manufacturing to provide the optimal performance. Calibration optimizes the performance of all the major blocks within the radio to optimal conditions, including gain and phase characteristics of filters, matching between key components, and key gain blocks. This takes into account process variation and temperature variation. Calibration occurs transparently during normal operation during the settling time of the hops and calibrates for temperature variations as the device cools and heats during normal operation in its environment.

BCM4330 Preliminary Data Sheet

Bluetooth Baseband Core

Section 5: Bluetooth Baseband Core


The Bluetooth Baseband Core (BBC) implements all of the time critical functions required for high-performance Bluetooth operation. The BBC manages the buffering, segmentation, and routing of data for all connections. It also buffers data that passes through it, handles data flow control, schedules SCO/ACL TX/RX transactions, monitors Bluetooth slot usage, optimally segments and packages data into baseband packets, manages connection status indicators, and composes and decodes HCI packets. In addition to these functions, it independently handles HCI event types, and HCI command types. The following transmit and receive functions are also implemented in the BBC hardware to increase reliability and security of the TX/RX data before sending over the air: Symbol timing recovery, data deframing, forward error correction (FEC), header error control (HEC), cyclic redundancy check (CRC), data decryption, and data dewhitening in the receiver. Data framing, FEC generation, HEC generation, CRC generation, key generation, data encryption, and data whitening in the transmitter.

Bluetooth 4.0 Features


The BBC supports Bluetooth 4.0 features with the following benefits: Dual mode Bluetooth Low Energy (BT and BLE operation). Extended Inquiry Response (EIR): Shortens the time to retrieve the device name, specific profile, and operating mode. Encryption Pause Resume (EPR): Enables the use of Bluetooth technology in a much more secure environment. Sniff Subrating (SSR): Optimizes power consumption for low duty cycle asymmetrical data flow, which subsequently extends battery lifetime. Secure Simple Pairing (SSP): Reduces the number of steps for connecting two devices with minimal or no user interaction required. Link Supervision Time Out (LSTO): Additional commands added to HCI and Link Management Protocol (LMP) for improved link time-out supervision. QoS Enhancements: Changes to data traffic control, which results in better link performance. Audio, human interface design (HID), bulk traffic, SCO and enhanced SCO (eSCO) are improved with the erroneous data (ED) and packet boundary flag (PBF) enhancements.

Bluetooth Low Energy


The BCM4330 is forward-compatible with the impending Bluetooth Low Energy operating mode, which provides a dramatic reduction in the power consumption of the Bluetooth radio and baseband. The primary application for this mode is to provide support for low data rate devices, such as sensors and remote controls.

Link Control Layer


The link control layer is part of the Bluetooth link control functions that are implemented in dedicated logic in the link control unit (LCU). This layer consists of the command controller that takes commands from the software, and other controllers that are activated or configured by the command controller, to perform the link control tasks. Each task performs a different state in the Bluetooth Link Controller. Major states: Standby Connection Substates: Page Page Scan Inquiry Inquiry Scan Sniff

Test Mode Support


The BCM4330 fully supports Bluetooth Test mode as described in Part I:1 of the Specification of the Bluetooth System Version 3.0. This includes the transmitter tests, normal and delayed loopback tests, and reduced hopping sequence. In addition to the standard Bluetooth Test Mode, the BCM4330 also supports enhanced testing features to simplify RF debugging and qualification and type-approval testing. These features include: Fixed frequency carrier wave (unmodulated) transmission Simplifies some type-approval measurements (Japan) Aids in transmitter performance analysis Fixed frequency constant receiver mode Receiver output directed to I/O pin Allows for direct BER measurements using standard RF test equipment Facilitates spurious emissions testing for receive mode Fixed frequency constant transmission Eight-bit fixed pattern or PRBS-9 Enables modulated signal measurements with standard RF test equipment

The basic power saving functions supported by those hand-shaking signals include the standard Bluetooth defined power savings modes and standby modes of operation. Table 4 describes the power-control hand-shake signals used with the UART interface. Table 4: Power Control Pin Descriptions Signal BT_WAKE Mapped to Pin BT_GPIO_0 Type Description I

Bluetooth device wake-up: Signal from the host to the BCM4330 indicating that the host requires attention. Asserted: Bluetooth device must wake-up or remain awake. Deasserted: Bluetooth device may sleep when sleep criteria are met. The polarity of this signal is software configurable and can be asserted high or low. HOST_WAKE BT_GPIO_1 O Host wake up. Signal from the BCM4330 to the host indicating that the BCM4330 requires attention. Asserted: host device must wake-up or remain awake. Deasserted: host device may sleep when sleep criteria are met. The polarity of this signal is software configurable and can be asserted high or low. BT_CLK_REQ_OUT BT_CLK_REQ_OUT O The BCM4330 asserts BT_CLK_REQ_OUT when the Bluetooth or WLAN systems want the host to turn on the reference clock. The polarity is active-high. Add an external 100 k pull-down resistor to ensure the signal is deasserted when the BCM4330 powers up or resets when VDDIO is present. Note: Pad function Control Register is set to 0 for these pins. See Table 21: GPIO Multiplexing Matrix, on page 113 for details.

BCM4330 Preliminary Data Sheet

Bluetooth Power Management Unit

BBC Power Management


The following are low-power operations for the BBC: Physical layer packet-handling turns the RF on and off dynamically within transmit/receive packets. Bluetooth-specified low-power connection modes: sniff, hold, and park. While in these modes, the BCM4330 runs on the low-power oscillator and wakes up after a predefined time period. A low-power shutdown feature allows the device to be turned off while the host and any other devices in the system remain operational. When the BCM4330 is not needed in the system, the RF and core supplies are shut down while the I/O remains powered. This allows the BCM4330 to effectively be off while keeping the I/O pins powered so they do not draw extra current from any other devices connected to the I/O. During the low-power shut-down state, provided VDDIO remains applied to the BCM4330, all outputs are tri-stated, and most input signals are disabled. Input voltages must remain within the limits defined for normal operation. This is done to prevent current paths or create loading on any digital signals in the system and enables the BCM4330 to be fully integrated in an embedded device to take full advantage of the lowest power-saving modes. Two BCM4330 input signals are designed to be high-impedance inputs that do not load the driving signal even if the chip does not have VDDIO power supplied to it: the frequency reference input (WRF_TCXO_IN) and the 32.768 kHz input (LPO). When the BCM4330 is powered on from this state, it is the same as a normal power-up, and the device does not contain any information about its state from the time before it was powered down.

FM Power Management
The BCM4330 FM subsystem can operate independently of, or in tandem with, the Bluetooth RF and BBC subsystems. The FM subsystem power management scheme operates in conjunction with the Bluetooth RF and BBC subsystems. The FM block does not have a low power state, it is either on or off.

Low-Power Scan
The BCM4330 has an optional low-power scan mode that replaces conventional page/inquiry scans with a proprietary scan scheme. When this mode is activated, it significantly reduces current consumption for page and inquiry scans. The mode will switch to conventional scans if energy in page/inquiry channels with an appropriate activation pattern is detected.

Wideband Speech
The BCM4330 provides support for wideband speech (WBS) using on-chip Smart Audio technology. The BCM4330 can perform subband-codec (SBC), as well as mSBC, encoding and decoding of linear 16 bits at 16 kHz (256 kbps rate) transferred over the PCM bus.

Packet Loss Concealment


Packet Loss Concealment (PLC) improves apparent audio quality for systems with marginal link performance. Bluetooth messages are sent in packets. When a packet is lost, it creates a gap in the received audio bit-stream. Packet loss can be mitigated in several ways: Fill in zeros. Ramp down the output audio signal toward zero (this is the method used in current Bluetooth headsets). Repeat the last frame (or packet) of the received bit-stream and decode it as usual (frame repeat). These techniques cause distortion and popping in the audio stream. The BCM4330 uses a proprietary waveform extension algorithm to provide dramatic improvement in the audio quality. Figure 9 and Figure 10 show audio waveforms with and without Packet Loss Concealment. Broadcom PLC/BEC algorithms also support wide band speech.

Packet Loss Causes Ramp-Down

Figure 10: CVSD Decoder Output Waveform After Applying PLC

Audio Rate-Matching Algorithms


The BCM4330 has an enhanced rate-matching algorithm that uses interpolation algorithms to reduce audio stream jitter that may be present when the rate of audio data coming from the host is not the same as the Bluetooth or FM audio data rates.

Adaptive Frequency Hopping

Codec Encoding
The BCM4330 can support SBC and mSBC encoding and decoding for wideband speech.

Multiple Simultaneous A2DP Audio Stream


The BCM4330 has the ability to take a single audio stream and output it to multiple Bluetooth devices simultaneously. This allows a user to share his or her music (or any audio stream) with a friend.

FM Over Bluetooth
FM Over Bluetooth enables the BCM4330 to stream data from FM over Bluetooth without requiring the host to be awake. This can significantly extend battery life for usage cases where someone is listening to FM radio on a Bluetooth headset.

Burst Buffer Operation


The BCM4330 has a data buffer that can buffer data being sent over the HCI and audio transports, then send the data at an increased rate. This mode of operation allows the host to sleep for the maximum amount of time, dramatically reducing system current consumption.

Adaptive Frequency Hopping


The BCM4330 gathers link quality statistics on a channel by channel basis to facilitate channel assessment and channel map selection. The link quality is determined using both RF and baseband signal processing to provide a more accurate frequency-hop map.

Advanced Bluetooth/WLAN Coexistence

Advanced Bluetooth/WLAN Coexistence


The BCM4330 includes advanced coexistence technologies that are only possible with a Bluetooth/WLAN integrated die solution. These coexistence technologies are targeted at small form-factor platforms, such as cell phones and media players, including applications such as VoWLAN + SCO and Video-over-WLAN + High Fidelity BT Stereo. Support is provided for platforms that share a single antenna between Bluetooth and 802.11g. Dual-antenna applications are also supported. The BCM4330 radio architecture allows for lossless simultaneous Bluetooth and WLAN reception for shared antenna applications. This is possible only via an integrated solution (shared LNA and joint AGC algorithm). It has superior performance versus implementations that need to arbitrate between Bluetooth and WLAN reception. The BCM4330 integrated solution enables MAC-layer signaling (firmware) and a greater degree of sharing via an enhanced coexistence interface. Information is exchanged between the Bluetooth and WLAN cores without host processor involvement. The BCM4330 also supports Transmit Power Control on the STA together with standard Bluetooth TPC to limit mutual interference and receiver desensitization. Preemption mechanisms are utilized to prevent AP transmissions from colliding with Bluetooth frames. Improved channel classification techniques have been implemented in Bluetooth for faster and more accurate detection and elimination of interferers (including nonWLAN 2.4 GHz interference). The Bluetooth AFH classification is also enhanced by the WLAN cores channel information.

Fast Connection (Interlaced Page and Inquiry Scans)


The BCM4330 supports page scan and inquiry scan modes that significantly reduce the average inquiry response and connection times. These scanning modes are compatible with the Bluetooth version 2.1 page and inquiry procedures.

Microprocessor and Memory Unit for Bluetooth

Section 7: Microprocessor and Memory Unit for Bluetooth


The Bluetooth microprocessor core is based on the ARM Cortex-M3 32-bit RISC processor with embedded ICE-RT debug and JTAG interface units. It runs software from the link control (LC) layer, up to the host controller interface (HCI). The ARM core is paired with a memory unit that contains 560 KB of ROM memory for program storage and boot ROM, 152 KB of RAM for data scratchpad and patch RAM code. The internal ROM allows for flexibility during power-on reset to enable the same device to be used in various configurations. At power-up, the lowerlayer protocol stack is executed from the internal ROM memory. External patches may be applied to the ROM-based firmware to provide flexibility for bug fixes or features additions. These patches may be downloaded from the host to the BCM4330 through the UART transports. The mechanism for downloading via UART is identical to the proven interface of the BCM4329 device.

RAM, ROM, and Patch Memory


The BCM4330 Bluetooth core has 152 KB of internal RAM which is mapped between general purpose scratch pad memory and patch memory and 560 KB of ROM used for the lower-layer protocol stack, test mode software, and boot ROM. The patch memory capability enables the addition of code changes for purposes of feature additions and bug fixes to the ROM memory.

Reset
The BCM4330 has an integrated power-on reset circuit that resets all circuits to a known power-on state. The reset can also be driven by an active-low, external reset signal, BT_RST_N, that can be used to externally control the device, forcing it into a power-on reset state. (Note that the BT_RST_N signal is independent of the POR reset.)

BCM4330 Preliminary Data Sheet

Bluetooth Peripheral Transport Unit

Section 8: Bluetooth Peripheral Transport Unit


PCM Interface
The BCM4330 supports two independent PCM interfaces that share the pins with the I2S interfaces. The PCM Interface on the BCM4330 can connect to linear PCM Codec devices in master or slave mode. In master mode, the BCM4330 generates the PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC signals, and in slave mode, these signals are provided by another master on the PCM interface and are inputs to the BCM4330. The configuration of the PCM interface may be adjusted by the host through the use of vendor-specific HCI commands.

Slot Mapping
The BCM4330 supports up to three simultaneous full-duplex SCO or eSCO channels through the PCM interface. These three channels are time-multiplexed onto the single PCM interface by using a time-slotting scheme where the 8 kHz or 16 kHz audio sample interval is divided into as many as 16 slots. The number of slots is dependent on the selected interface rate of 128 kHz, 512 kHz, or 1024 kHz. The corresponding number of slots for these interface rate is 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16, respectively. Transmit and receive PCM data from an SCO channel is always mapped to the same slot. The PCM data output driver tri-states its output on unused slots to allow other devices to share the same PCM interface signals. The data output driver tri-states its output after the falling edge of the PCM clock during the last bit of the slot.

Frame Synchronization
The BCM4330 supports both short- and long-frame synchronization in both master and slave modes. In shortframe synchronization mode, the frame synchronization signal is an active-high pulse at the audio frame rate that is a single-bit period in width and is synchronized to the rising edge of the bit clock. The PCM slave looks for a high on the falling edge of the bit clock and expects the first bit of the first slot to start at the next rising edge of the clock. In long-frame synchronization mode, the frame synchronization signal is again an active-high pulse at the audio frame rate; however, the duration is three bit periods and the pulse starts coincident with the first bit of the first slot.

Data Formatting
The BCM4330 may be configured to generate and accept several different data formats. For conventional narrowband speech mode, the BCM4330 uses 13 of the 16 bits in each PCM frame. The location and order of these 13 bits can be configured to support various data formats on the PCM interface. The remaining three bits are ignored on the input and may be filled with 0s, 1s, a sign bit, or a programmed value on the output. The default format is 13-bit 2s complement data, left justified, and clocked MSB first.

BCM4330 Preliminary Data Sheet

PCM Interface

Wideband Speech Support


When the host encodes Wideband Speech (WBS) packets in transparent mode, the encoded packets are transferred over the PCM bus for an eSCO voice connection. In this mode, the PCM bus is typically configured in master mode for a 4 kHz sync rate with 16-bit samples, resulting in a 64 kbps bit rate. The BCM4330 also supports slave transparent mode using a proprietary rate-matching scheme. In SBC-code mode, linear 16-bit data at 16 kHz (256 kbps rate) is transferred over the PCM bus.

Multiplexed Bluetooth and FM Over PCM


In this mode of operation, the BCM4330 multiplexes both FM and Bluetooth audio PCM channels over the same interface, reducing the number of required I/Os. This mode of operation is initiated through an HCI command from the host. The format of the data stream consists of three channels: a Bluetooth channel followed by two FM channels (audio left and right). In this mode of operation, the bus data rate only supports 48 kHz operation per channel with 16 bits sent for each channel. This is done to allow the low data rate Bluetooth data to coexist in the same interface as the higher speed I2S data. To accomplish this, the Bluetooth data is repeated six times for 8 kHz data and three times for 16 kHz data. An initial sync pulse on the PCM_SYNC line is used to indicate the beginning of the frame. To support multiple Bluetooth audio streams within the Bluetooth channel, both 16 kHz and 8 kHz streams can be multiplexed. This mode of operation is only supported when the Bluetooth host is the master. Figure 11 shows the operation of the multiplexed transport with three simultaneous SCO connections. To accommodate additional SCO channels, the transport clock speed is increased. To change between modes of operation, the transport must be halted and restarted in the new configuration.

Burst PCM Mode


In this mode of operation, the PCM bus runs at a significantly higher rate of operation to allow the host to duty cycle its operation and save current. In this mode of operation, the PCM bus can operate at a rate of up to 24 MHz. This mode of operation is initiated with an HCI command from the host.

BCM4330 Preliminary Data Sheet

UART Interface

UART Interface
The BCM4330 shares a single UART for Bluetooth and FM. The UART is a standard 4-wire interface (RX, TX, RTS, and CTS) with adjustable baud rates from 9600 bps to 4.0 Mbps. The interface features an automatic baud rate detection capability that returns a baud rate selection. Alternatively, the baud rate may be selected through a vendor-specific UART HCI command. UART has a 1040-byte receive FIFO and a 1040-byte transmit FIFO to support EDR. Access to the FIFOs is conducted through the AHB interface through either DMA or the CPU. The UART supports the Bluetooth 4.0 UART HCI specification: H4, a custom Extended H4, and H5. The default baud rate is 115.2 Kbaud. The UART supports the 3-wire H5 UART transport, as described in the Bluetooth specification (Three-wire UART Transport Layer). Compared to H4, the H5 UART transport reduces the number of signal lines required by eliminating the CTS and RTS signals. The BCM4330 UART can perform XON/XOFF flow control and includes hardware support for the Serial Line Input Protocol (SLIP). It can also perform wake-on activity. For example, activity on the RX or CTS inputs can wake the chip from a sleep state. Normally, the UART baud rate is set by a configuration record downloaded after device 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 BCM4330 UARTs operate correctly with the host UART as long as the combined baud rate error of the two devices is within 2%.

BCM4330 Preliminary Data Sheet

I2S Interface

I2S Interface
The BCM4330 supports two independent I2S digital audio ports: one for Bluetooth audio, and one for highfidelity FM audio. The I2S interface for FM audio supports both master and slave modes. The I2S signals are: I2S clock: I2S SCK I2S Word Select: I2S WS I2S Data Out: I2S SDO I2S Data In: I2S SDI I2S SCK and I2S WS become outputs in master mode and inputs in slave mode, while I2S SDO always stays as an output. I2S data input is used for FM Tx. The channel word length is 16 bits and the data is justified so that the MSB of the left-channel data is aligned with the MSB of the I2S bus, per the I2S specification. The MSB of each data word is transmitted one bit clock cycle after the I2S WS transition, synchronous with the falling edge of bit clock. Left-channel data is transmitted when I2S WS is low, and right-channel data is transmitted when I2S WS is high. Data bits sent by the BCM4330 are synchronized with the falling edge of I2S_SCK and should be sampled by the receiver on the rising edge of I2S_SSCK. The clock rate in master mode is either of the following: 48 kHz x 32 bits per frame = 1.536 MHz 48 kHz x 50 bits per frame = 2.400 MHz The master clock is generated from the input reference clock using a N/M clock divider. In the slave mode, any clock rate is supported to a maximum of 3.072 MHz.

Slave Mode: Clock accepted by transmitter or receiver 0.35Ttr 0.35Ttr 0.15Ttr

Note: The system clock period T must be greater than Ttr and Tr because both the transmitter and receiver have to be able to handle the data transfer rate. At all data rates in master mode, the transmitter or receiver generates a clock signal with a fixed mark/space ratio. For this reason, tHC and tLC are specified with respect to T. In slave mode, the transmitter and receiver need a clock signal with minimum HIGH and LOW periods so that they can detect the signal. So long as the minimum periods are greater than 0.35Tr, any clock that meets the requirements can be used. Because the delay (tdtr) and the maximum transmitter speed (defined by Ttr) are related, a fast transmitter driven by a slow clock edge can result in tdtr not exceeding tRC which means thtr becomes zero or negative. Therefore, the transmitter has to guarantee that thtr is greater than or equal to zero, so long as the clock rise-time tRC is not more than tRCmax, where tRCmax is not less than 0.15Ttr. To allow data to be clocked out on a falling edge, the delay is specified with respect to the rising edge of the clock signal and T, always giving the receiver sufficient setup time. The data setup and hold time must not be less than the specified receiver setup and hold time.

Note: The time periods specified in Figure 19 and Figure 20 are defined by the transmitter speed. The receiver specifications must match transmitter performance.

BCM4330 Preliminary Data Sheet

FM Transceiver Subsystem

Section 9: FM Transceiver Subsystem


FM Radio
The BCM4330 includes a completely integrated FM radio receiver and transmitter with RDS/RBDS covering all FM bands from 65 MHz to 108 MHz. The transceiver is controlled through commands on the HCI. FM received audio is available as stereo analog output or in digital form through I2S or PCM. The FM audio to be transmitted can be delivered via the I2S or PCM interface. The FM radio is capable of operating from the 32.768 kHz LPO clock.

Digital FM Audio Interfaces


The FM audio can be received or transmitted via the shared PCM and I2S pins, and the sampling rate is nominally at 48 kHz. The BCM4330 supports a three-wire PCM or I2S audio interface in either master or slave configuration. The master or slave configuration is selected using vendor specific commands over the HCI interface. In addition, multiple sampling rates are supported, derived from either the FM or Bluetooth clocks. In master mode, the clock rate is either of the following: 48 kHz x 32 bits per frame = 1.536 MHz 48 kHz x 50 bits per frame = 2.400 MHz In slave mode, any clock rate is supported up to a maximum of 3.072 MHz.

Analog FM Audio Interfaces


The demodulated FM audio signal is available as line-level analog stereo output, generated by twin internal high SNR audio DACs.

FM Over Bluetooth
The BCM4330 can output received FM audio onto Bluetooth using one of following three links: eSCO, WBS, and A2DP. In all of the above modes, once the link has been set up, the host processor can enter sleep mode while the BCM4330 continues to stream FM audio to the remote Bluetooth device, allowing the system current consumption to be minimized.

eSCO

eSCO
In this use case, the stereo FM audio is downsampled to 8 kHz and a mono or stereo stream is then sent through the Bluetooth eSCO link to a remote Bluetooth device, typically a headset. Two Bluetooth voice connections must be used to transport stereo.

Wide Band Speech Link


In this case, the stereo FM audio is downsampled to 16 kHz and a mono or stereo stream is then sent through the Bluetooth wideband speech link to a remote Bluetooth device, typically a headset. Two Bluetooth voice connections must be used to transport stereo.

A2DP
In this case, the stereo FM audio is encoded by the on-chip SBC encoder and transported as an A2DP link to a remote Bluetooth device. Sampling rates of 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, and 32 kHz joint stereo are supported. An A2DP lite stack is implemented in the BCM4330 to support this use case, which eliminates the need to route the SBC-encoded audio back to the host to create the A2DP packets.

Dynamic Antenna Switching


The BCM4330 includes a circuit to detect the presence of ground-coupled antenna.

BCM4330 Preliminary Data Sheet

Autotune and Search Algorithms

Autotune and Search Algorithms


The BCM4330 supports a number of FM search and tune functions that allows the host to implement many convenient user functions, which are accessed through the Broadcom FM stack. Tune to Play Allows the FM receiver to be programmed to a specific frequency. Search for RSSI > Threshold Searches for valid FM channels within the band that have signal strength above a specified threshold. This function can be set to search for the next valid channel up or down the band or can be set to search for a list of valid channels across the entire band. Search for RSSI < Threshold Searches for empty or under-utilized channels that can be used to transmit FM. Available channels can be identified before suggesting an FM transmit channel to the user. This allows the BCM4330 to determine the best channel for FM transmit operation instead of requiring the user to find an unused channel manually. Search for SNR > Threshold Checks the power level of the available channel and the estimated SNR of the channel to help achieve precise control of the expected sound quality for the selected FM channel. Specifically, the host can adjust its SNR requirements to retrieve a signal with a specific sound quality, or adjust this to return the weakest channels. Alternate Frequency Jump Allows the FM receiver to automatically jump to an alternate FM channel that carries the same information, but has a better SNR. For example, when traveling, a user may pass through a region where a number of channels carry the same station. When the user passes from one area to the next, the FM receiver can automatically switch to another channel with a stronger signal to spare the user from having to manually change the channel to continue listening to the same station.

Audio Features
A number of features are implemented in the BCM4330 to provide the best possible audio experience for the user. Mono/Stereo Blend or Switch The BCM4330 provides automatic control of the stereo or mono settings based on the RSSI and estimated audio SNR. This feature is used to achieve a minimum audio SNR based on the channel conditions. Two modes of operation are supported: Blend In this mode, fine control of stereo separation is used to achieve optimal audio quality over a wide range of input C/N. The amount of separation is fully programmable. In Figure 21, the separation is programmed to maintain a minimum 50 dB SNR across the blend range. Switch In this mode, the audio switches from full stereo to full mono at a predetermined level to maintain optimal audio quality. The stereo-to-mono switch point and the mono-to-stereo switch points are fully programmable to provide the desired amount of audio SNR. In Figure 22, the switch point is programmed to switch to mono to maintain a 40 dB SNR.

Audio Features

Figure 21: Example Blend/Switch Usage

Figure 22: Example Blend/Switch Separation Soft Mute Improves the user experience by dynamically muting the output audio proportionate to the FM signal C/N. This prevents the user from being assaulted with a blast of static. The mute characteristic is fully programmable to accommodate fine tuning of the output signal level. An example mute characteristic is shown in Figure 23.

On-Chip MP3 Encoding

Figure 23: Example Soft Mute Characteristic Audio Pause Detect The FM receiver monitors the magnitude of the audio signal and notifies the host through an interrupt when the magnitude of the signal has fallen below the threshold set for a programmable period. This feature can be used to provide alternate frequency jumps during periods of silence to minimize disturbances to the listener. Filtering techniques are used within the audio pause detection block to provide more robust presence-to-silence detection and silence-to-presence detection.

On-Chip MP3 Encoding


In this mode of operation, the device can record the FM audio to MP3, then output the MP3 data over the HCI interface. The feature effectively off loads the MP3 recording processing load from the host and assists in FM time shift applications. This feature can also be used in conjunction with burst mode buffering to provide significant FM system record times.

RDS/RBDS

RDS/RBDS
The BCM4330 integrates a RDS/RBDS modem and codec, the decoder includes programmable filtering and buffering functions, and the encoder includes the option to encode messages to PS or RT frame format with programmable scrolling in PS mode. The RDS/RBDS data can be read out in receive mode or delivered in transmit mode through the HCI interface. In addition, the RDS/RBDS functionality supports the following: Receive Block decoding, error correction and synchronization Flywheel synchronization feature, allowing the host to set parameters for acquisition, maintenance, and loss of sync. (It is possible to set up the BCM4330 such that synch is achieved when a minimum of two good blocks (error free) are decoded in sequence. The number of good blocks required for sync is programmable.)

WLAN Global Functions

Section 10: WLAN Global Functions


WLAN CPU and Memory Subsystem
The BCM4330 includes an integrated ARM Cortex-M3 processor with internal RAM and ROM. The ARM Cortex-M3 processor is a low-power processor that features low gate count, low interrupt latency, and low-cost debug. It is intended for deeply embedded applications that require fast interrupt response features. The processor implements the ARM architecture v7-M with support for Thumb-2 instruction set. ARM Cortex-M3 delivers 30% more performance gain over ARM7TDMI. At 0.19uW/MHz, the Cortex-M3 is the most power efficient general purpose microprocessor available, outperforming 8- and 16-bit devices on MIPS/uW. It supports integrated sleep modes. ARM Cortex-M3 uses multiple technologies to reduce cost through improved memory utilization, reduced pin overhead, and reduced silicon area. ARM Cortex-M3 supports independent buses for Code and Data access (ICode/DCode and System buses). ARM Cortex-M3 supports extensive debug features including real time trace of program execution. On-chip memory for the CPU includes 288 KB SRAM and 512 KB ROM.

One-Time-Programmable Memory
Various hardware configuration parameters may be stored in an internal 2 Kbit one-time-programmable (OTP) memory, which is read by system software after device reset. In addition, customer-specific parameters, including the system vendor ID and the MAC address can be stored, depending on the specific board design. The initial state of all bits in an unprogrammed OTP device is 0. After any bit is programmed to a 1, it cannot be reprogrammed to 0. The entire OTP array can be programmed in a single write cycle using a utility provided with the Broadcom WLAN manufacturing test tools. Alternatively, multiple write cycles can be used to selectively program specific bytes, but only bits which are still in the 0 state can be altered during each programming cycle. Prior to OTP programming, all values should be verified using the appropriate editable nvram.txt file, which is provided with the reference board design package. Documentation on the OTP development process is available on the Broadcom customer support portal (http://www.broadcom.com/support).

BCM4330 Preliminary Data Sheet

GPIO Interface

GPIO Interface
There are seven general purpose I/O (GPIO) pins available on the WLAN section of the BCM4330 that can be used to connect to various external devices. Upon power up and reset, these pins become tri-stated. Subsequently, they can be programmed to be either input or output pins via the GPIO control register. An internal pull-up resistor is included on each GPIO. If a GPIO output enable is not asserted, and the corresponding GPIO signal is not being driven externally, the GPIO is read as high.

External Coexistence Interface


An external handshake interface is available to enable signaling between the device and an external co-located wireless device, such as GPS, WiMax, or UWB, to manage wireless medium sharing for optimum performance. The following signals can be enabled by software on the indicated WL_GPIO pins: ERCX_STATUS WL_GPIO1 ERCX_FREQ WL_GPIO2 ERCX_RF_ACTIVE WL_GPIO3 ERCX_TXCONF WL_GPIO4 ERCX_PRISEL WL_GPIO5

UART Interface
One UART interface can be enabled by software as an alternate function on pins WL_GPIO4 and WL_GPIO_3. Provided primarily for debugging during development, this UART enables the BCM4330 to operate as RS-232 data termination equipment (DTE) for exchanging and managing data with other serial devices. It is compatible with the industry standard 16550 UART, and it provides a FIFO size of 64 8 in each direction.

JTAG Interface
The BCM4330 supports the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary scan standard for performing device package and PCB assembly testing during manufacturing. In addition, the JTAG interface allows Broadcom to assist customers by using proprietary debug and characterization test tools during board bringup. Therefore, it is highly recommended to provide access to the JTAG pins by means of test points or a header on all PCB designs. Caution! The BCM4330 I/O interface pins are not 3.3V tolerant. All I/O signaling should be limited to 2.9V 3%, 2.5V, 1.8V, or 1.2V, depending on the I/O power supply voltage VDDIO. This applies to the GPIO, External Coexistence, UART, and JTAG signals.

SDIO v2.0
The BCM4330 WLAN section supports SDIO version 2.0. for both 1-bit (25 Mbps), 4-bit modes (100 Mbps), and high speed 4-bit (50 MHz clocks 200 Mbps). It has the ability to map the interrupt signal onto a GPIO pin. This out-of-band interrupt signal notifies the host when the WLAN device wants to turn on the SDIO interface. The ability to force control of the gated clocks from within the WLAN chip is also provided. SDIO mode is enabled using the strapping option pins strap_host_ifc_[3:1] (Table 19: WLAN GPIO Functions and Strapping Options, on page 112). Three functions are supported: Function 0 Standard SDIO function (Max BlockSize/ByteCount = 32B) Function 1 Backplane Function to access the internal System On Chip (SOC) address space (Max BlockSize/ ByteCount = 64B) Function 2 WLAN Function for efficient WLAN packet transfer through DMA (Max BlockSize/ByteCount = 512B)

Write
The host puts the first bit of the data onto the bus half a clock-cycle before the first active edge following the CS going low. The following bits are clocked out on the falling edge of the gSPI clock. The device samples the data on the active edge.

Write/Read
The host reads on the rising edge of the clock requiring data from the device to be made available before the first rising clock edge of the clock burst for the data. The last clock edge of the fixed delay word can be used to represent the first bit of the following data word. This allows data to be ready for the first clock edge without relying on asynchronous delays.

Read
The read command always follows a separate write to set up the WLAN device for a read. This command differs from the write/read command in the following respects: a) chip selects go high between the command/address and the data and b) the time interval between the command/address is not fixed.

Status
The gSPI interface supports status notification to the host after a read/write transaction. This status notification provides information about any packet errors, protocol errors, information about available packet in the RX queue, etc. The status information helps in reducing the number of interrupts to the host. The statusreporting feature can be switched off using a register bit, without any timing overhead.

BCM4330 Preliminary Data Sheet

Generic SPI Mode

gSPI Host-Device Handshake


To initiate communication through the gSPI after power-up, the host needs to bring up the WLAN/Chip by writing to the wake-up WLAN register bit. Writing a 1 to this bit will start up the necessary crystals and PLLs so that the BCM4330 is ready for data transfer. The device can signal an interrupt to the host indicating that the device is awake and ready. This procedure also needs to be followed for waking up the device in sleep mode. The device can interrupt the host using the WLAN IRQ line whenever it has any information to pass to the host. On getting an interrupt, the host needs to read the interrupt and/or status register to determine the cause of interrupt and then take necessary actions.

Boot-Up Sequence
After power-up, the gSPI host needs to wait 150 ms for the device to be out of reset. For this, the host needs to poll with a read command to F0 addr 0x14. Address 0x14 contains a predefined bit pattern. As soon as the host gets a response back with the correct register content, it implies that the device has powered up and is out of reset. After that, the host needs to set the wakeup-WLAN bit (F0 reg 0x00 bit 7). The wakeup-WLAN issues a clock request to the PMU. For the first time after power-up, the host needs to wait for the availability of low power clock inside the device. Once that is available, the host needs to write to a PMU register to set the crystal frequency. This will turn on the PLL. After the PLL is locked, the chipActive interrupt is issued to the host. This indicates device awake/ready status. See Table 16 for information on gSPI registers. In Table 16, the following notation is used for register access: R: Readable from host and CPU W: Writable from host U: Writable from CPU Table 16: gSPI Registers Address x0000 Register Word length Endianess High speed mode Bit 0 1 4 Access Default R/W/U 0 R/W/U 0 R/W/U 1 Description 0: 16 bit word length 1: 32 bit word length 0: Little Endian 1: Big Endian 0: Normal mode.

HSIC Interface

HSIC Interface
As an alternative to SDIO, an HSIC host interface can be enabled using the strapping option pins strap_host_ifc_[3:1] (Table 19: WLAN GPIO Functions and Strapping Options, on page 112. HSIC is a simplified derivative of the USB2.0 interface designed to replace a standard USB PHY and cable for short distances (up to 10 cm) on board point-to-point connections. Using two signals, a bidirectional data strobe (STROBE) and a bidirectional DDR data signal (DATA), it provides high-speed serial 480 Mbps USB transfers that are 100% host driver compatible with traditional USB 2.0 cable-connected topologies. Figure 33 shows the blocks in the HSIC device core. A clock reference frequency of 37.4 MHz should always be used for HSIC mode. Key features of HSIC include: High-speed 480 Mbps data rate only Source-synchronous serial interface using 1.2V LVCMOS signal levels No power consumed except when a data transfer is in progress Maximum trace length of 10 cm.

Wireless LAN MAC and PHY

Section 12: Wireless LAN MAC and PHY


MAC Features
The BCM4330 WLAN media access controller (MAC) supports features specified in the 802.11 base standard, and amended by 802.11n. The salient features are listed below: Transmission and reception of aggregated MPDUs (A-MPDU) Support for power management schemes, including WMM power-save, power-save multi-poll (PSMP) and multiphase PSMP operation Support for immediate ACK and Block-ACK policies Interframe space timing support, including RIFS Support for RTS/CTS and CTS-to-self frame sequences for protecting frame exchanges Back-off counters in hardware for supporting multiple priorities as specified in the WMM specification Timing synchronization function (TSF), network allocation vector (NAV) maintenance, and target beacon transmission time (TBTT) generation in hardware Hardware offload for AES-CCMP, legacy WPA TKIP, legacy WEP ciphers, WAPI, and support for key management Support for coexistence with Bluetooth and other external radios Programmable independent basic service set (IBSS) or infrastructure basic service set functionality Statistics counters for MIB support

MAC Description
The 4329 WLAN MAC is designed to support high-throughput operation with low-power consumption. It does so without compromising the Bluetooth coexistence policies, thereby enabling optimal performance over both networks. In addition, several power saving modes have been implemented that allow the MAC to consume very little power while maintaining network-wide timing synchronization. The architecture diagram of the MAC is shown in Figure 34 on page 84. The following sections provide an overview of the important modules in the MAC.

BCM4330 Preliminary Data Sheet

MAC Features

PSM
The programmable state machine (PSM) is a micro-coded engine, which provides most of the low-level control to the hardware, to implement the 802.11 specification. It is a microcontroller that is highly optimized for flow control operations, which are predominant in implementations of communication protocols. The instruction set and fundamental operations are simple and general, which allows algorithms to be optimized until very late in the design process. It also allows for changes to the algorithms to track evolving 802.11 specifications. The PSM fetches instructions from the microcode memory. It uses the shared memory to obtain operands for instructions, as a data store, and to exchange data between both the host and the MAC data pipeline (via the SHM bus). The PSM also uses a scratchpad memory (similar to a register bank) to store frequently accessed and temporary variables. The PSM exercises fine-grained control over the hardware engines, by programming internal hardware registers (IHR). These IHRs are co-located with the hardware functions they control, and are accessed by the PSM via the IHR bus. The PSM fetches instructions from the microcode memory using an address determined by the program counter, instruction literal, or a program stack. For ALU operations the operands are obtained from shared memory, scratchpad, IHRs, or instruction literals, and the results are written into the shared memory, scratchpad, or IHRs. There are two basic branch instructions: conditional branches and ALU based branches. To better support the many decision points in the 802.11 algorithms, branches can depend on either a readily available signals from the hardware modules (branch condition signals are available to the PSM without polling the IHRs), or on the results of ALU operations.

WEP
The wired equivalent privacy (WEP) engine encapsulates all the hardware accelerators to perform the encryption and decryption, and MIC computation and verification. The accelerators implement the following cipher algorithms: legacy WEP, WPA TKIP, WPA2 AES-CCMP. The PSM determines, based on the frame type and association information, the appropriate cipher algorithm to be used. It supplies the keys to the hardware engines from an on-chip key table. The WEP interfaces with the TXE to encrypt and compute the MIC on transmit frames, and the RXE to decrypt and verify the MIC on receive frames.

BCM4330 Preliminary Data Sheet

MAC Features

TXE
The transmit engine (TXE) constitutes the transmit data path of the MAC. It coordinates the DMA engines to store the transmit frames in the TXFIFO. It interfaces with WEP module to encrypt frames, and transfers the frames across the MAC-PHY interface at the appropriate time determined by the channel access mechanisms. The data received from the DMA engines are stored in transmit FIFOs. The MAC supports multiple logical queues to support traffic streams that have different QoS priority requirements. The PSM uses the channel access information from the IFS module to schedule a queue from which the next frame is transmitted. Once the frame is scheduled, the TXE hardware transmits the frame based on a precise timing trigger received from the IFS module. The TXE module also contains the hardware that allows the rapid assembly of MPDUs into an A-MPDU for transmission. The hardware module aggregates the encrypted MPDUs by adding appropriate headers and pad delimiters as needed.

RXE
The receive engine (RXE) constitutes the receive data path of the MAC. It interfaces with the DMA engine to drain the received frames from the RXFIFO. It transfers bytes across the MAC-PHY interface and interfaces with the WEP module to decrypt frames. The decrypted data is stored in the RXFIFO. The RXE module contains programmable filters that are programmed by the PSM to accept or filter frames based on several criteria such as receiver address, BSSID, and certain frame types. The RXE module also contains the hardware required to detect A-MPDUs, parse the headers of the containers, and disaggregate them into component MPDUS.

BCM4330 Preliminary Data Sheet

MAC Features

IFS
The IFS module contains the timers required to determine interframe space timing including RIFS timing. It also contains multiple backoff engines required to support prioritized access to the medium as specified by WMM. The interframe spacing timers are triggered by the cessation of channel activity on the medium, as indicated by the PHY. These timers provide precise timing to the TXE to begin frame transmission. The TXE uses this information to send response frames or perform transmit frame-bursting (RIFS or SIFS separated, as within a TXOP). The backoff engines (for each access category) monitor channel activity, in each slot duration, to determine whether to continue or pause the backoff counters. When the backoff counters reach 0, the TXE gets notified, so that it may commence frame transmission. In the event of multiple backoff counters decrementing to 0 at the same time, the hardware resolves the conflict based on policies provided by the PSM. The IFS module also incorporates hardware that allows the MAC to enter a low-power state when operating under the IEEE power save mode. In this mode, the MAC is in a suspended state with its clock turned off. A sleep timer, whose count value is initialized by the PSM, runs on a slow clock and determines the duration over which the MAC remains in this suspended state. Once the timer expires the MAC is restored to its functional state. The PSM updates the TSF timer based on the sleep duration ensuring that the TSF is synchronized to the network. The IFS module also contains the PTA hardware that assists the PSM in Bluetooth coexistence functions.

TSF
The timing synchronization function (TSF) module maintains the TSF timer of the MAC. It also maintains the target beacon transmission time (TBTT). The TSF timer hardware, under the control of the PSM, is capable of adopting timestamps received from beacon and probe response frames in order to maintain synchronization with the network. The TSF module also generates trigger signals for events that are specified as offsets from the TSF timer, such as uplink and downlink transmission times used in PSMP.

NAV
The network allocation vector (NAV) timer module is responsible for maintaining the NAV information conveyed through the duration field of MAC frames. This ensures that the MAC complies with the protection mechanisms specified in the standard. The hardware, under the control of the PSM, maintains the NAV timer and updates the timer appropriately based on received frames. This timing information is provided to the IFS module, which uses it as a virtual carrier-sense indication.

MAC-PHY Interface
The MAC-PHY interface consists of a data path interface to exchange RX/TX data from/to the PHY. In addition, there is an programming interface, which can be controlled either by the host or the PSM to configure and control the PHY.

BCM4330 Preliminary Data Sheet

WLAN Radio Subsystem

Section 13: WLAN Radio Subsystem


The BCM4330 includes an integrated dual-band WLAN RF transceiver that has been optimized for use in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wireless LAN systems (but not both simultaneously). It has been designed to provide lowpower, low-cost, and robust communications for applications operating in the globally available 2.4 GHz unlicensed ISM or 5 GHz U-NII bands. The transmit and receive sections include all on-chip filtering, mixing, and gain control functions. Up to eight RF control signals are available to drive the external RF switches and support the addition of optional external power amplifiers and low noise amplifiers for either or both bands. See the reference board schematics for further details.

Receive Path
The BCM4330 has a wide dynamic range, direct conversion receiver. It employs high order on-chip channel filtering to ensure reliable operation in the noisy 2.4 GHz ISM band or the entire 5 GHz U-NII band. Control signals are available that can support the use of optional external low noise amplifiers (LNA), which can increase the receive sensitivity by several dB.

Transmit Path
Baseband data is modulated and upconverted to the 2.4 GHz ISM or 5-GHz U-NII bands, respectively. Linear onchip power amplifiers are included, which are capable of delivering high output powers while meeting 802.11a/b/g/n specifications without the need for external PAs. These PAs can be powered directly from VBAT, thereby eliminating the need for a separate PALDO. Closed-loop output power control is completely integrated. Several spare RF control signals are available to support the addition of optional external power amplifiers for either or both bands.

Calibration
The BCM4330 features dynamic on-chip calibration, eliminating process variation across components. This enables the BCM4330 to be used in high-volume applications, because calibration routines are not required during manufacturing testing. These calibration routines are performed periodically in the course of normal radio operation. Examples of this automatic calibration are baseband filter calibration for optimum transmit and receive performance and LOFT calibration for leakage reduction. In addition, I/Q Calibration, R Calibration, and VCO Calibration are performed on-chip.

WLAN GPIO Signals and Strapping Options


The pins listed in Table 19 are sampled at power-on reset (POR) to determine the various operating modes. Sampling occurs a few milliseconds after an internal POR or deassertion of the external POR. After the POR, each pin assumes the GPIO or alternative function specified in the signal descriptions table. Each strapping option pin has an internal pull-up (PU) or pull-down (PD) resistor that determines the default mode. To change the mode, connect an external PU resistor to VDDIO or a PD resistor to GND, using a 10 k resistor or less. Note: Refer to the reference board schematics for more information.

Pull SDIO_DATA1 low, either directly to ground or through no more than 10 k. Tie all other SDIO data lines high, either directly to VIO or through a resistor. Ground the SDIO_CLK pin.

Muxed Bluetooth GPIO Signals


The Bluetooth GPIO pins (BT_GPIO_0 to BT_GPIO_7) are multiplexed pins and can be programmed to be used as GPIOs or for other Bluetooth interface signals such as I2S. The specific function for a given BT_GPIO_X pin is chosen by programming the Pad Function Control Register for that specific pin. Table 21 shows the possible options for each BT_GPIO_X pin. Note that each BT_GPIO_X pin's Pad Function Control Register Setting is independent (i.e. BT_GPIO_1 can be set to Pad Function 7 at the same time that BT_GPIO_3 is set to PAD Function 0). When the Pad Function Control Register is set to 0 the BT_GPIOs do not have specific functions assigned to them and behave as generic GPIOs. The A_GPIO_X pins described below are multiplexed behind the BCM4330 PCM and I2S interface pins. Table 21: GPIO Multiplexing Matrix Pad Function Control Register Setting Pin Name

a. N = Pad has no keeper; Y = Pad has a keeper. The keeper is always active except in power down state. If there is no keeper, it is an input, and there is no pull, then the pad should be driven to prevent leakage due to the floating pad (e.g., SDIO_CLK). b. In the power down state (xx_REG_ON = 0), High-Z; noPull: the pad is disabled because power is not supplied. c. Internal pull-up resistors on the SDIO_DATA lines are disabled after the internal power-on reset when the BCM4330 is strapped for HSIC mode. To use the device in HSIC mode: pull WL_GPIO_6 high with a resistor between 4.7 10 k; pull SDIO_DATA2 high, either directly to VIO or through no more than 10 k; pull SDIO_DATA1 low, either directly to ground or through no more than 10 k; tie all other SDIO data lines high, either directly to VIO or through a resistor; and ground the SDIO_CLK pin. SDIO_CMD can be left floating. d. Depending on whether the PCM interface is enabled and the configuration of PCM is in master or slave mode, this can be either output or input. e. The I2S interface is shared with GPIO2, 3, 4, and 5. Up to master or slave mode, it can be either output or input.

Power-Up Sequence and Timing

Section 23: Power-Up Sequence and T iming


Sequencing of Reset and Regulator Control Signals
The BCM4330 has three 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 various operational states (see Figure 47 on page 159, Figure 48 on page 160, Figure 49 on page 160 and Figure 50 on page 161). The timing values indicated are the minimum required values; longer delays are also acceptable. Note: The WL_REG_ON and BT_REG_ON signals are ORed in the BCM4330. The diagrams show both signals going high at the same time (as would be the case if both REG signals were controlled by a single host GPIO). If two independent host GPIOs are used (one for WL_REG_ON and one for BT_REG_ON), then only one of the two signals needs to be high to enable the BCM4330 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. Note: The BCM4330 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 150 ms after VDDC 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. If VDDIO goes LOW, all regulators (including bandgap reference) will be powered OFF immediately, regardless of the status of the WL_REG_ON, BT_REG_ON, and EXT_SMPS_REQ pins.

BCM4330 Preliminary Data Sheet

Sequencing of Reset and Regulator Control Signals

Description of Control Signals


WL_REG_ON: Used by the PMU to power up the WLAN section. It is also OR-gated with the BT_REG_ON input to control the internal BCM4330 regulators. When this pin is high, the regulators are enabled and the WLAN section is out of reset. When this pin is low the WLAN section is in reset. A warm WLAN reset can be initiated by driving WL_REG_ON low for at least 10 microseconds (see Figure 51 on page 161). If both the BT_REG_ON and WL_REG_ON pins are low, the regulators are disabled. Logic High Level: 1.08V 3.6V. 200k pull-down resistor included. BT_REG_ON: Used by the PMU (OR-gated with WL_REG_ON) to power up the internal BCM4330 regulators. If both the BT_REG_ON and WL_REG_ON pins are low, the regulators are disabled. Logic High Level: 1.08V3.6V. 200k pull-down resistor included. BT_RST_N: Low asserting reset for Bluetooth and FM only. This pin has no effect on WLAN and does not control any PMU functions. This pin must be driven high or low (not left floating). In addition, two other input signals control PMU modes: When EXT_SMPS_REQ is pulled high, it forces CBUCK to stay on, even when the other regulators are shut down by WL_REG_ON or BT_REG_ON. When WLAN and/or Bluetooth are out of reset and EXT_SMPS_REQ is high, then pulling EXT_PWM_REQ high makes CBUCK go into PWM mode, even if internal settings from WLAN and/or Bluetooth are requesting burst mode. During such contention, the request for the higher-power mode wins.

a. No heat sink, TA = 70C. This is an estimate, based on a 2- or 4-layer PCB that conforms to EIA/JESD51 7 (101.6 mm x 114.3 mm x 1.6 mm) and P = 1.43W continuous dissipation.

Junction Temperature Estimation and PSIJT Versus THETAJC


Package thermal characterization parameter PSIJT (JT) yields a better estimation of actual junction temperature (TJ) versus using the junction-to-case thermal resistance parameter ThetaJC (JC). The reason for this is that JC assumes that all the power is dissipated through the top surface of the package case. In actual applications, some of the power is dissipated through the bottom and sides of the package. JT takes into account power dissipated through the top, bottom, and sides of the package. The equation for calculating the device junction temperature is: TJ = TT + P x JT Where: TJ = Junction temperature at steady-state condition (C) TT = Package case top center temperature at steady-state condition (C) P = Device power dissipation (Watts) JT = Package thermal characteristics; no airflow (C/W)
