Rev: e Extended range Bluetooth Module - F2M03GXA Datasheet 5 Device terminal description 5.1 UART Interface The F2M03 Bluetooth module’s Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) interface provides a simple mechanism for communicating with other serial devices using the RS232 standard(1). Universal Asynchronous Receiver Four signals are used to implement the UART function, as shown in the figure above.
Rev: e Extended range Bluetooth Module - F2M03GXA Datasheet The UART interface is capable of resetting the Free2move module upon reception of a break signal. A Break is identified by a continuous logic low on the UART_RX terminal, as shown in figure below. If tBRK is longer than a special value, defined by the Free2move firmware a reset will occur. This feature allows a host to initialise the system to a known state. Also, the F2M03 can emit a Break character that may be used to wake the Host.
Rev: e Extended range Bluetooth Module - F2M03GXA Datasheet 5.2 USB Interface F2M03 contain a full-speed (12Mbits/s) USB interface, capable of driving a USB cable directly. No external USB transceiver is required. The device operates as a USB peripheral, responding to requests from a master host controller such as a PC. Both the OHCI and the UHCI standards are supported. The set of USB endpoints implemented behave as specified in the USB section of the Bluetooth specification v2.0+EDR.
Rev: e Extended range Bluetooth Module - F2M03GXA Datasheet 5.2.5 Bus-Powered Mode In bus-powered mode the application circuit draws its current from the 5V VBUS supply on the USB cable. F2M03 negotiates with the PC during the USB enumeration stage about power consumption. Bus-Powered mode is not supported in the default firmware of the HCI-firmware When selecting a regulator, be aware that VBUS may go as low as 4.4V.
Rev: e Extended range Bluetooth Module - F2M03GXA Datasheet 5.2.6 Suspend Current USB devices that run off VBUS must be able to enter a suspended state, whereby they consume less that 0.5mA from VBUS. The voltage regulator circuit itself should draw only a small quiescent current (typically less than 100µA) to ensure adherence to the suspend-current requirement of the USB specification. This is not normally a problem with modern regulators. The entire circuit must be able to enter the suspend mode. 5.
Rev: e Extended range Bluetooth Module - F2M03GXA Datasheet 5.2.9 USB 1.1 Compliance The Bluetooth chip on the F2M03 is qualified to the USB specification v1.1, details of which are available from http://www.usb.org. The specification contains valuable information on aspects such as PCB track impedance, supply inrush current and product labeling.
Rev: e Extended range Bluetooth Module - F2M03GXA Datasheet 5.3 Serial Peripheral Interface F2M03 is a slave device that uses terminals SPI_MOSI, SPI_MISO, SPI_CLK and SPI_CSB. This interface is used for program emulation/debug and IC test. It is also the means by which the F2M03 flash may be programmed, before any 'boot' program is loaded. Note: The SPI signals should be routed out from the module if you need to upgrade the firmware on the module in the future when the module is already soldered.
Rev: e Extended range Bluetooth Module - F2M03GXA Datasheet 5.5 PCM Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) is the standard method used to digitise audio (particulary voice) for transmission over digital communication channels. Through its PCM interface, F2M03 has hardware support for continual transmission and reception of PCM data, thus reducing processor overhead for wireless headset and other audio applications.
Rev: e Extended range Bluetooth Module - F2M03GXA Datasheet 5.5.1 PCM Interface Master/Slave When configured as the Master of the PCM interface, F2M03 generates PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC.
Rev: e Extended range Bluetooth Module - F2M03GXA Datasheet 5.5.2 Long Frame Sync Long Frame Sync is the name given to a clocking format that controls the transfer of PCM data words or samples. In Long Frame Sync, the rising edge of PCM_SYNC indicates the start of the PCM word. When F2M03 is configured as PCM Master, generating PCM_SYNC and PCM_CLK, then PCM_SYNC is 8-bits long.
Rev: e Extended range Bluetooth Module - F2M03GXA Datasheet 5.5.4 Multi-Slot Operation More than one SCO connection over the PCM interface is supported using multiple slots. Up to three SCO connections can be carried over any of the first four slots. Multi-slot Operation with Two Slots and 8-bit Companded Samples 5.5.5 GCI Interface F2M03 is compatible with the General Circuit Interface, a standard synchronous 2B+D ISDN timing interface.
Rev: e Extended range Bluetooth Module - F2M03GXA Datasheet 5.5.6 Slots and Sample Formats F2M03 can receive and transmit on any selection of the first four slots following each sync pulse. Slot durations can be either 8 or 16 clock cycles. Durations of 8 clock cycles may only be used with 8-bit sample formats. Durations of 16 clocks may be used with 8, 13 or 16-bit sample formats. F2M03 supports 13-bit linear, 16-bit linear and 8-bit µ-law or A-law sample formats. The sample rate is 8ksamples/s.

Rev: e Extended range Bluetooth Module - F2M03GXA Datasheet 5.6 PIOs The F2M03GXA have 10 programmable general-purpose I/O ports PIO[11:2] and two analog I/O ports AIO[1:0]. PIO lines can be configured through software to have either weak or strong pull-ups or pulldowns. All PIO lines are configured as inputs with weak pull-downs at reset. AIO[1:0] functions available via these pins include an 8-bit ADC but can also be used as general-purpose I/O lines.
Rev: e Extended range Bluetooth Module - F2M03GXA Datasheet 5.7 Power supply The power supply for the F2M03GXA should be chosen carefully. Bad power supply can reduce the performance and may damage the module. Please use the recommended voltage regulator or consult Free2move if using another regulator. It is also essential to use a proper reset circuit to the module for correct operation. 5.7.1 Voltage regulator The F2M03GXA have two power supplies, +V_PA and +VCC.
