Bluetron™ Application Specific Module BTR170
The Bluetron™ BTR170 module from AvantWave
is a complete Bluetooth® solution for fast implementation,
cutting your time-to-market. It is a short-range, compact
and cost effective radio/baseband module that can be implemented
in any kind of electronic devices, such as access point, telephone
gateway, serial port adaptor etc.
In standard configuration the module includes a baseband
processor with on board 8Mbit Flash memory, a radio front-end,
antenna interface, supporting circuitry, together with some
higher-level software protocols and applications such as L2CAP,
SDP, GAP and RFCOMM are resided in the Flash.
The Bluetron™ BTR170 module is a power
class 1 Bluetooth® devices, and is compliance with version
2.0 of the Bluetooth® specification. It is supplied with
Bluetooth® protocol stack firmware which runs on the internal
microprocessor. Bluetron™ BTR170 module
is built on CSR BC04 External core with an 8Mbit Flash memory
for firmware and application software storage.

On-board Installation Kit (Firmware and parameters installation)
Configuration
The BTR170 is based on the scalable Bluetron™
architecture. This configuration allows embedded stand-alone
Bluetooth® applications where your target application is embedded
within the module, in addition to traditional host-based applications.
This possibility is especially useful in accessory type applications
like serial port and industrial sensor and actuator devices.
The variety of external interfaces also make the BTR140
ideally suited for access applications in desk top and mobile
computing environments, home base stations, and hot spot network
access points.
Antenna Interface
50�[ Bluetooth® ISM Band antenna (2.4-2.5 GHz)
Communication
Interface
Communication is carried out using a wide range of external
interfaces like high-speed UART, SPI, USB (Universal Serial
Bus), I2C, PCM and PIO.
Software
The standard software includes Bluetooth® protocol layers up
to the HCI-layer, i.e. BB (BaseBand), LM (Link Manager) and
HCI.
In addition, a variety of Bluetooth® stacks for host- and embedded
applications with different configuration could be offered.
