3.1.11 Bluetooth Interface
KU580 supports Bluetooth operation using ST’ STLC2590C Bluetooth module.
A. General Description
The Bluetooth interface utilizes the SPI interface for control signals going to and from the Bluetooth
module. The SPI is also used for data transmissions.
It uses the PCM interface for transmitting audio to and from the Bluetooth module. The Bluetooth
module uses both the 26 MHz master clock signal and the 32,768 kHz low-frequency clock signal for
internal timing within the Bluetooth module. The intention is to use the low-frequency clock as a low-
power timing provider and to use the 26 MHz as a high precision timing reference used mainly by the
Bluetooth radio during operation. The clock request mechanism is used to minimize current
consumption for the total system. The intention is to use the CLKREQ signal to ask for the master
clock when needed, for example, when the Bluetooth radio is operating.
B. SPI Interface
The physical SPI interface is made up of 5 signals : clock, chip select, data in, data out and interrupt.
When the SPI mode is selected , these signals are available through the BT_UART and
BT_HOST_WAKEUP pins. The SPI interface is Master at the Host side, and Slave at the BT Controller
side. It is designed to work with the H4 protocol. It does not support HCI synchronous data packet
transfer. Data are transferred on the SPI interface in byte format, LSB first.
The SPI interface can operate only in half duplex mode.
C. PCM Interface
The PCM interface is used to send audio to and from the Bluetooth module. The interface is a
synchronous interface using a PCM clock and a PCM sync signal for synchronization. Two data
signals are used for data, one in each direction. The PCM clock signal operates at frequencies as high
as 1 MHz. The word length of the audio data can be 8 or 16 bits. Furthermore, the PCM interface has
a function known as MP-PCM, which is an addressing scheme, used to have more than two devices
talking on the bus. To add this function, the data pins have to be bi-directional. Additionally, the
position of the audio data relative to the frame sync pulse must be selectable. During the periods
within a frame that a device is not transmitting audio data, it must put both PCM data signals in a high-
impedance state to allow other devices access.
D. Master Clock and Clock Request Interface
The master clock (MCLK) is a 26 MHz signal used as the high precision clock signal for the Bluetooth
module. The signal can be switched on and off by the platform. The master clock request (CLKREQ) is
used by the Bluetooth module to ask for the master clock. If the Bluetooth module asserts the signal
high, it gets the master clock. The other alternative for the Bluetooth module is to set the clock request
output to high impedance state, indicating that it does not need the master clock. The Bluetooth
module receives the master clock, if other parts of the chipset request it.
E. Low Frequency Clock Interface
The low-frequency clock signal (RTCCLK) is used by the Bluetooth module as a low-power clock. The
clock is used in different Bluetooth modes, like sniff and park, to have a correct timing on the Bluetooth
air interface without having the master clock running.
