Overview
CSR's BlueCore™4-Ext device implements the Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) Bluetooth® specification, allowing it to deliver data rates that are 3-times faster than current v1.2 Bluetooth devices. This increased transfer rate also means that, for a given amount of data, the radio will be active up to 3 times less than a v1.2 radio, reducing power consumption. BlueCore4 is also fully backwards-compatible with existing Bluetooth v1.1 and v1.2 devices.
BlueCore4-Ext provides a highly-economic single-chip Bluetooth solution for developers integrating a radio, baseband and onchip RISC microcontroller. It offers an external interface for up to 8Mbits Flash memory for application flexibility.
These features make the device ideal for lower-volume applications, general development and prototyping, and any markets that demand the ability to upgrade quickly. A version with integral mask-ROM and HCI (or optionally RFCOMM) Bluetooth stack is also available for volume applications such as mobile phones and PDAs.
