Description
The Bluetooth Radio PBA 313 05 from Ericsson
Microelectronics is a short-range microwave frequency
radio transceiver for Bluetooth communication links.
Provided in a compact LGA package. No external
shield is required.
The Bluetooth Radio offers a combination of compact
size, low power consumption, and cost effective
assembly. The PBA 313 05 forms a complete radio
with only the addition of an antenna, a 13 MHz
reference frequency crystal, and a digital control
functionality. As a result, designers can bene t from
a pre-tested and ready-to-use device, providing a
robust Bluetooth Radio function in the  nal OEM
application.
PBA 313 05 is built around an RFCMOS ASIC.
Antenna  lter, RX and TX baluns are all integrated
into the circuit. The antenna  lter is specially
designed for application in GSM environment such
as inside a mobile phone. The Radio PBA 313 05
also has a very high threshold for high signal levels
in-band, which makes it very suitable to be in an
IEEE 802.11b environment. Operating from a 2.6 V
supply, the module has a typical supply current
consumption of only 50 mA (receive mode) or 60 mA
(transmit mode), thus helping to extend battery life
for portable equipment. Standby mode provides
further power savings.

Functional description
Overview of radio functionality
PBA 313 05 is a radio module requiring minimal external
components. The receiver has a heterodyne architecture
with low IF. The transmitter utilises an IQ modulation
architecture. The block diagram of PBA 313 05 is shown in
gure 4.
Radio ASIC
The receiver consists of a LNA followed by I and Q mixers.
The I and Q IF signals of these mixers are fed to an image
rejecting selectivity  lter. The  lter is followed by two limiters
(I and Q)  xing the amplitude of the received signal to the
required level for the demodulator. The limiters generate
an RSSI signal, which is converted to a digital word and is
available
through the serial interface. The
demodulator is
an IQ quadrature demodulator. A post detection  lter and a
slicer, which will output the received data to the baseband
processor, follow the demodulator.
The local oscillator is an integrated VCO. The VCO frequency
is controlled by means of a phase locked loop. The same
VCO is used when receiving and transmitting.
The transmitter utilises IQ modulation. The bit stream from
the base band radio is digitally processed to generate
gaussian shaped I & Q output. A DAC and reconstruction
lter is used to generate the IF input to the mixer. The RF
input to the mixer comes from the phase locked VCO via
phase shifters and buffering. The mixer output is fed to the
PA-driver, which will deliver a nominal 0 dBm output power
at the antenna.
There are a number of other circuit blocks such as the
crystal oscillator, low power oscillator, power on reset
circuit, control logic and the serial interface.
Loop  lter
Generates the tuning voltage for the VCO.
RX balun
Transformation from unbalanced (single-ended) to balanced
(differential) transmission. The balun is integrated in the
substrate.
TX balun
Transformation from balanced to unbalanced transmission.
The balun is integrated in the substrate.
Antenna switch
Directs the power either from the antenna  lter to the receive
ports or from the external PA output ports to the antenna
lter.
Antenna  lter
Front end bandpass  lter fully integrated in the ceramic
substrate.
I/O Signal Description
Power supply
There is one supply connection, VDD. It’s important that this
supply is properly decoupled and free from noise and other
disturbances.
Oscillator or external clock input (No external load
capacitors are required)
XO_N and XO_P connect to the crystal’s inputs. The load
capacitance to the crystal can be trimmed using the XO-
Trim register. If an external clock is used, it should be AC
coupled into the XO_N input and the XO_P input shall be left
unconnected.
Ground
Ground should be distributed with very low impedance
as a ground plane. Connect all GND connections to the
ground plane. It is good to have a ground plane underneath
the Bluetooth radio in order to shield the module from
IQ
mod.

any electrical noise. The purpose of the ground vias is to
connect the local ground plane to the main ground layer.
The Bluetooth radio will be self shielding and no additional
shields should be necessary for normal operating conditions.
Antenna
The ANT pin should be connected to a 50
antenna
interface, thereby supporting the best signal strength
performance. Ericsson Microelectronics partners can
support application speci c antennas.
Input control
There are  ve digital inputs available for the radio
controlling features of the PBA 313 05. The Bluetooth timing
requirements for these are described in table 3 and  gure 5.
In addition, there is a digital input signal for hardware reset
of the radio, and a digital input signal for waking up the
clock circuitry after a sleep mode period.

Table 3. Timing requirements for data transmission.
PX_ON
Packet switch on control is active ‘high’. Activate this signal
during reception of a Bluetooth payload.
PX_ON is used to control the Slicer of the receiver. Since
the General Inquiry Access Code (GIAC), information in
a Bluetooth packet header contains an equal number of
one’s (+F
MOD
) and zero’s (-F
MOD
), the average frequency will
always be centred on the carrier frequency. This provides
the Slicer the reference for the fast tuning. If the fast mode
is not used during the header then the  rst bits could be
interpreted incorrectly.
The slow mode gives a more accurate FSK compensation
of the thresholds for a one and a zero compared to the
fast mode; therefore, the BER is less. The fast mode (time
constant < 2µs) is used when PX_ON is deactivated and the
slow mode (time constant < 50 µs) when it is activated.
SYNT_ON
Synthesiser on control is active ‘high’. Activate this signal
to power up of the VCO section of the radio. SYNT_ON is
used in both transmit and receive mode. This activates the
PLL as well as the VCO.
RX_ON
Receive-on control is active ‘high’. Activate this signal to
enable reception of Bluetooth data on the RX_DATA pin.
The transmit-on control (TX_ON) must be deactivated
and the synthesiser (SYNT_ON) activated if data is to be
received.
TX_ON
Transmit-on control is active ‘high’. Activate this signal
to enable radio signal output on the ANT pin. The actual
transfer of data that exists on the TX_DATA input occurs
when TX_DATA_EN goes ‘high’. The receive-on control,
RX_ON, must also be ‘low’ and the transmit-switch, TX_SW,
be held “high” if data is to be transmitted.
TX_DATA_EN
Enables the modulator thus allowing the input data on
TX_DATA to modulate the carrier in transmit mode. TX_
DATA_EN is activated after the initialisation of the SYNT_ON
signal and the TX_ON signal.
RESET_N
External power on reset is active ‘high’. An external power-
on-reset digital input signal that will reset the radio controller
and its registers. A reset will occur on the positive edge
of RESET_N signal. The signal should remain high during
operation.
SYS_CLK_REQ
System clock request control is active ‘high’. Once the
crystal oscillator bit (XO
CTR
, control register, bit #2) has been
set, use this control to switch off (sleep mode) and wake up
(idle and operating modes) the reference clock circuitry and
corresponding 13 MHz and 1 MHz clock output ports of the
module.

Output control
There are four digital output control signals available for
controlling external baseband circuitry.
POR
Power-on-reset digital output is activated after the power
has been applied to the Bluetooth radio or on a positive
edge of the POR_EXT digital input. POR has a transition
from ‘low’ to ‘high’ after four clock cycles have been
delivered to the baseband chip, see  gure 6.
SYS_CLK
13 MHz system clock digital output available for the
baseband circuitry when the POR_EXT and SYS_CLK_REQ
are both ‘high’. SYS_CLK will also be available during start-
up, independent on the value of SYS_CLK_REQ.
TX_CLK
1 MHz transmit clock digital output available for the
baseband circuitry when the POR_EXT and SYS_CLK_REQ
(see above) are both ‘high’. TX_CLK changes value on rising
edges of SYS_CLK.
LPO_CLK
3.2 kHz low power oscillator clock digital output. The clock
output is available as soon as the power supply is applied
and POR_EXT is ‘high’. The LPO is necessary for wake-up
timing in the baseband circuitry, if the Ericsson baseband is
used.
Data interface
Two digital signals are used for data  ow over the air
interface.
TX_DATA
Transmit data digital control is active ‘high’. The radio
module samples Bluetooth data (1 Mbit/s) after a positive
edge on TX_CLK, feeds it through a digital  lter and on
to the radio frequency modulator when TX_DATA_EN is
activated. The total delay from the TX_DATA pin to the ANT
pin is typically 0.5 µs.
RX_DATA
Receive data digital output is active ‘high’. The radio module
latches out Bluetooth data (1 Mbit/s) on the RX_DATA pin
on falling edges of SYS_CLK when RX_ON is activated. The
total delay from the ANT pin to the RX_DATA pin is typically
2.5 µs.
Serial interface
The serial control interface is a JTAG Boundary-Scan
Architecture (IEEE Std 1149.1). Interconnection between
the serial interface and the external controller (baseband
circuit) consists of four 1-bit digital signals; control data
input (SI_CDI), control mode select (SI_CMS), control clock
(SI_CLK) and control data output (SI_CDO). The timing of
these signals is de ned in  gure 7.
Overview
PBA 313 05 is controlled by programming registers via a
4 pin serial interface and a number of dedicated pins to
control the receive and transmit sequences.
The serial interface is accessed using pins SI_CLK, SI_CMS,
SI_CDO and SI_CDI. Pins associated with receive and
transmit are SYNTH_ON, TX_ON, RX_ON, TX_DATA_EN and
PX_ON.
Data to be transmitted is applied to TX_DATA, received data
will be available at RX_DATA. The radio relies on an accurate
13 MHz reference signal. This signal can be generated
by using a 13 MHz crystal on pins XO_P and XO_N and

trimming to the required frequency via the serial interface.
Alternatively an externally generated 13 MHz reference can
be applied to the XO_N input, (in this case the oscillator
ampli er can be powered down via the serial interface to
save power).
A number of clocks are derived from the 13 MHz reference.
The LPO output provides a 3.2 kHz reference, which is
always available, (this relies either on the use of a crystal or
the constant availability of an external 13 MHZ reference).
A buffered version of the 13 MHz clock, SYS_CLK and a 1
MHz derived clock, TX_CLK are available when the input pin
SYS_CLK_REQ is asserted.
The radio will generate a power on reset signal when
powered up. This will reset all on radio registers to a de ned
state. The signal will also be present on the POR pin so that
it can be used as a system reset signal for the base band
processor. The radio can be reset to the default state by
applying a ‘0’ at the RESET_N pin.
Serial interface
PBA 313 05 contains registers for setting the frequency,
storing the value of the signal power etc. The base band
processor circuit will read from and write to these registers
in PBA 313 05.
The registers are reset to their default values either when
EXT_RESET is low or when the supply is  rst applied
(generating a power on reset signal internally). The serial
interface is implemented as described in the BlueRF
speci cation.
Additional information for engineers interfacing PBA 313 05
to a baseband can be found in the Programmers Reference
and Base Band Interface Guide PBA 313 05/1.
Assembly guidelines
Solder paste
The PBA 313 05 module is made for surface mounting with
land grid array (LGA) solder joints. To assemble the module,
solder paste (eutectic Tin/Lead) must be printed at the target
surface. Preferred solder paste height is 100-127µm (4-5
mil).

Soldering pro le
It must be noted that the module should not be allowed to
be hanging upside down in the re ow operation. This means
that the module has to be assembled on the side of the PCB
that is soldered last. The re ow process should be a regular
surface mount soldering pro le (full convection strongly
preferred), the ramp-up should not be higher than 3°C/s
and with a peak temperature of 210-225°C during 10-20
seconds. Max sloping rate should not be higher than 4°C/s
(see example of re ow pro le in  gure 8).
Placement
The recommended pickup coordinates for the PBA 313 05
shield is based on a nozzle with inner diameter 1.9 mm.
From the origin of coordinates, (0,0) for (x,y), the pickup
coordinates are (4.4mm,4.4mm) for (x,y).
Control interface
Operation together with a Bluetooth Baseband using the
Ericsson Bluetooth Core is recommended.
Antenna interface
