This document describes key hardware aspects of the Laird BT830 Bluetooth HCI module. This document is intended 
to assist device manufacturers and related parties with the integration of this module into their host devices. Data in 
this document are drawn from a number of sources including data sheets for the CSR8811.   

Because the BT830 is currently in development stage, this document is preliminary and the information in this 
document is subject to change. Please contact Laird Technologies or visit the Laird website at

ESCRIPTION

 

The BT830 series of UART HCI devices are designed to meet the needs of OEMs adding 
robust Bluetooth connectivity and using embedded Bluetooth stacks within these products.   

Leveraging the market-leading CSR8811 chipset, the BT830 series provides exceptionally 
low power consumption with outstanding range. Supporting the latest Bluetooth v4.0 
Specification with EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), the Laird BT830 series enables OEMs to 
accelerate their development time for leveraging either Classic Bluetooth or Bluetooth Low 
Energy (BLE) into their operating system based devices.   

With a tiny footprint as small as 8.5 x 13 mm, yet output power at 7 dBm, these modules are ideal for applications 
where designers need high performance in minimal size. For maximum flexibility in systems integration, the modules 
are designed to support a UART interface plus GPIO and additionally I2S and PCM audio interfaces.   

These modules present an HCI interface and have native support for Windows and Linux Bluetooth software stacks. 
All BT830 series devices are fully qualified as Bluetooth Hardware Controller Subsystem products. This also allows 
designers to integrate their existing pre-approved Bluetooth Host and Profile subsystem stacks to gain a Bluetooth 
END product approval for their products.   

The BT830 series is engineered to provide excellent RF performance with integrated antenna and additional band pass 
filters. It further reduces regulatory and testing requirements for OEMs and ensures a hassle free development cycle.   

A fully featured, low-cost developer’s kit is available for prototyping, debug, and integration testing of the BT830 
series modules and further reduces risk and time in development cycles.
