Description
The Bluetooth Radio PBA 313 02 from Ericsson
Microelectronics is a long-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 02 forms a complete radio
with only the addition of an antenna, a reference
frequency, and digital control. 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 02 is built around a BiCMOS ASIC.
Antenna  lter, RX and TX baluns are all integrated
into the circuit. The antenna  lter is specially
PBA 313 02
designed for application in GSM environment such as
inside a mobile phone. The PBA 313 02 has output
power regulation control through software. Power
levels have typical 4dB steps. Power control  exibility
enables customer to specify smaller or larger power
steps. Operating from a 2.7 V supply, the module has
a typical supply current consumption of only 60 mA
(receive mode) or 50 mA (transmit mode) at 0 dBm
output power. In Standby mode the typical current
consumption is only 20 µA thus helping to extend
battery life for portable equipment.

PBA 313 02 is a long-range transceiver module for Bluetooth
applications. The transceiver operates in the globally
available 2.4 – 2.5 GHz ISM band. The module is a class 1
Bluetooth device.
The transceiver module is based on a BiCMOS application
speci c integrated circuit (ASIC). The antenna  lter, the
RX and TX baluns, and the switch are all at least partially
integrated into the ceramic substrate onto which the
components of the module are mounted.
The maximum output power is +20 dBm and the sensitivity
(0.1% bit error rate) is –86 dBm (typical), measured at the
antenna pin.
Block diagram
PBA 313 02 is based on a single chip radio ASIC that utilises
a heterodyne receiver architecture with low intermediate
frequency. The transmitter utilises direct modulation of the
voltage controlled oscillator. A fractional N synthesiser is
used to enable different reference frequencies to be used.
There are also a number of other circuit blocks including
a crystal oscillator, a low power oscillator, power on reset
and frequency divider. The chip is controlled by the serial
interface.
The block diagram in  gure 4 shows the simpli ed
architecture of the radio ASIC and seven major supporting
blocks on the module:
Radio ASIC
The receiver on the radio ASIC consists of a low noise
ampli er, followed by an image reject down converter. The
low IF signal of the mixer is fed to an on chip selectivity  lter.
This is followed by a limiter, which generates the RSSI and
also maximises the signal before it is fed to the demodulator.
This is followed by a post detection  lter and a slicer, which
outputs the data to a baseband.
The transmitter consists of a gaussian low pass  lter to
shape the data before it directly modulates the voltage
controlled oscillator, which is run in open loop during
transmit. The VCO is buffered before driving the PA on the
module. The module output power is controlled by varying
the buffer and PA gain
VCO-tank
Part of the phase locked loop. The modulation is performed
directly on the VCO. To ensure high performance the VCO-
tank is laser trimmed
.
Loop  lter
Generates the tuning voltage of the VCO-tank.
RX balun
Transformation from unbalanced (single-ended) to balanced
(differential) transmission. The major part of the balun is
integrated in the substrate.
TX balun
Biasing of the output ampli er in the radio ASIC and
transformation from balanced to unbalanced transmission.
The major part of the balun is integrated in the substrate.
Antenna switch
Directs the power either from the antenna  lter to the receive
port or from the external PA output port to the antenna  lter.
Antenna  lter
Front end bandpass  lter fully integrated in the ceramic
substrate.
External PA
Two stage GaAs Power Ampli er that operates from a
single supply and boosts the output power up to +20dBm,
mounted on the module. The output power is controlled by
an analogue signal from the ASIC.

I/O signal description
Power supply
There are three connections feeding the Bluetooth radio,
VCC, VCC_DIG and VCC_PA. VCC supplies the sensitive RF
circuitry. It’s important that this supply is proper decoupled
and free from noise and other disturbances. VCC_DIG feeds
the digital circuitry of the module. The power ampli er is fed
from the VCC_PA rail. To avoid AM modulation on the TX
signal this pin should also be decoupled.
Oscillator or external clock input
XO_N and XO_P connects to the crystal’s inputs. The load
capacitance to the crystal can be trimmed using the XO-Trim
register (Depending on crystal, no external load capacitors
are required). 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 critical to have a ground plane underneath the
Bluetooth radio in order to shield the VCO tank from any
electrical noise. The ground vias purpose is to connect
the local ground plane to the main ground layer. Note: If a
local ground plane cannot be directly placed underneath
the radio, then no routing should be planned underneath
the radio until a layer can be used as a local ground plane.
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 02. The Bluetooth timing
requirements for these are described in table 6 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.
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
(+FMOD) and zero’s (-FMOD), 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 < 50µs) 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 PHD_OFF 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_SW
Transmit-switch is active ”high”. This switch controls which
one of the TX_PA and the RX balun to be connected to the
antenna. During TX mode it should be held ”high”, the rest
of the time it should be ”low”. In system without a dedicated
control pin this signal can be connected to the TX_ON
signal.
PHD_OFF
Phase detector off control is active ‘high’. Activate this
signal in transmit mode to open the phase locked loop
(PLL) employed in the VCO section and enable modulation
of the carrier using the TX_DATA digital input. PHD_OFF is
activated after the initialisation of the SYNT_ON signal and
the TX_ON signal.
POR_EXT
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 POR_EXT signal. The signal should remain high during
operation.
SYS_CLK_REQ
System clock request control is active ‘high’. Once the
crystal oscillator bit (XOCTR, 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 that
is adjustable by setting the internal LPOHI and LPOLO
registers (see  gure 6).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’
18)
. The radio
module feeds Bluetooth data (1 Mbit/s) directly
19)
to the
radio frequency modulator when PHD_OFF is activated. The
total delay from the TX_DATA pin to the ANT pin is typically
0.5 µs.
18)
The TX_polarity bit of Enable register should be set to ’1’
(positive polarity) for normal operation.
A logic ’high’ value will then result in a positive frequency
deviation output on the ANT pin.
19)
Data on the TX_DATA pin is digitally buffered before it is
fed to the radio frequency modulator.

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 are de ned in  gure 7.

Assembly guidelines
Solder paste
The PBA 313 02 module is made for surface mounting with
land grid array (LGA) gold 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 more than 3°C/s
and with a peak temperature of 210-225°C during 10-20
seconds. Max sloping rate should not exceed 4°C/s.
Pad size
It is recommended that the pads on the PCB should have a
diameter of 0.5-0.7mm. The surface  nish on the PCB pads
should be Nickel/Gold or a  at Tin/Lead surface or OSP
(Organic Surface Protection).
Placement
The recommended pickup co-ordinates for the PBA 313
02 shield is based on a nozzle with inner diameter 2 mm
and outer diameter 3.17 mm. The centre of the shield is the
origin of co-ordinates, (0,0) for (x,y), giving the pickup co-
ordinates (5.9mm, 5.9mm) for (x,y).
Storage
Keep the component in its dry pack when not yet using
the reel. After removal from the dry pack ensure that the
modules are soldered onto the PCB within 48 hours.
