Only one sound should be heard. Wizard Wizard launches when the Team2 software is run for the first time. Wizard guides you through the introduction process step by step. Before you can run Team2 software you have to install it on your PC. If you want to run Wizard again at some point, remove all the transmitters from the system according to the instructions, shut down the software and re-run it. Wizard then launches automatically. Wizard can be stopped at any time by clicking the Cancel button. It is possible to shift between the steps by clicking the Next and Back buttons. NOTE: These instructions apply only to the initialization wizard that launches when the Team2 software is run for the first time. For instructions on the rest of the software, see the software chapter. Welcome (Step 1) 7 Team2 SW Help The first step instructs you on how to connect the hardware correctly. Follow the instructions below and on the screen. By clicking the numbered steps, help animations are displayed in the box on the right side of the list. 1. Plug the power cable into the base station. 2. Connect the first (or only) base station to the PC with the network cable. 3. Switch on the first (or only) base station. Wait until (1) and (2) are lit (approx. 1. min). 4. Plug the power cable into the charger. 5. Insert transmitters 1-10 into the charger. Wait until (3) is lit on the base station. 6. Plug the USB dongle into the PC. Continue to the next step by clicking Next. NOTE:
Insert the transmitters into the charger so that so that the P of the Polar logo is not visible. The led is located next to the R of the Polar logo. When the transmitter is inserted correctly into the charger the red led is on for 5 seconds. At the same time you can hear a short sound. It is important that the USB dongle is introduced to the system during Wizard. The dongle doesn't work later on if this part has been skipped in the beginning. For instructions of what to do, if the USB dongle is not introduced to the system during Wizard, see How to introduce USB dongle. Do not install the USB dongle drivers from the included CD! The USB dongle works with the Team2 only if the drivers are not installed. If you have installed the drivers, follow the instructions in the troubleshooting chapter. Team (Step 2) The second step asks you to create the first team and fill in team information. It is also possible to import team data from a previous Polar software by clicking the link at the bottom of the window. Compatible data can be imported from the Polar Precision Performance and Polar ProTrainer software. 1. Type the team name into the Name field. The default name is My Team. 8 2. Add the team logo (in *.jpg format) by clicking Click here to add a logo text. This is an optional feature. 3. Type team details into the Team Details field. This is an optional feature. Team2 SW help Continue to the next step by clicking Next. NOTE:
The added logo can be removed by clicking Remove logo at the bottom of the Wizard window. When team data is imported from the previous Polar software, all team data (including player information) is imported to the system. Sport Zones (Step 3) The third step asks to specify your team's sport zones. Sport zones specify how training is divided into different intensity zones. You can either use the default settings or modify the sport zones to fit the team's training. Sport zones can be based on one of three different calculation methods. Wizard offers two of them to choose from, the player's maximum heart rate (% of HRmax) and the player's threshold values. A third option is the player's heart rate reserve (% of HRR) which can be taken into use, in preferences, after Wizard is completed. 1. Select the calculation method that you want the sport zones to be based on. 2. The sport zone settings can be changed after the calculation method is selected. Settings are given on the right side of Wizard window. Continue to the next step by clicking Next. Player's maximum heart rate (% of HRmax) When the player's maximum heart rate is selected as the sport zone calculation method, sport zones which the user can determine are specified as a percentage of a player's maximum heart rate. As the zones are based on percentages of a player's own maximum heart rate, they are individual for each player. The same percentages are, however, used for the whole team. Player's threshold values When the player's threshold values are selected as the sport zone calculation method, the sport zones are based on the players' threshold values which are determined in the player settings. Each player has an upper threshold (anaerobic) and a lower threshold (aerobic) value. The 9 Team2 SW Help coach/trainer can determine how many heart beats the upper threshold zone and the lower threshold zone differ from the players' upper and lower threshold values. The variances are the same for the whole team. The threshold values enable the most individual training analysis. NOTE:
Default settings can be restored by clicking the Restore default setting link on the bottom of the window. More sport zones can be added by clicking the Add sport zone link on the bottom of the window. Activities (Step 4) The fourth step asks to define the training activities of your team. You can choose a different color for every activity. This helps you to visualize your team's training calendar. There are three different types for activities; intermittent, continuous and strength. The type indicates how exhausting the training activity is. The type you select affects the training load and recovery time calculations. Select the types carefully and the calculations will be more accurate. Training activity examples:
Continuous Intermittent Strength Swimming Football Gym Walking Ice hockey BodyPump Skiing Up/Downhill running Roller-skating Rugby Running Alpine skiing 1. Fill in your team's training activities and select their types from the drop-down menu. 10 2. Select a color for each activity by clicking the color box at the end of each training activity line. If each training activity or test has its own individual color, it is easier for you to visualize your team's training calendar. Activities are shown in the calendar as color boxes. Team2 SW help Continue to the next step by clicking Next. NOTE:
Training activities can be modified after Wizard is completed. Training activities can be added by clicking Add training activity link at the bottom of the window. Training activities can be added at any time after completing Wizard. Training activities can be removed by clicking Remove link at the end of the training activity line. Players (Step 5) The fifth step asks you to fill in your players' information. You can also import players' information from previous Polar software by clicking the link on the bottom of the window. Player information is imported one player at a time. Compatible data can be imported from the Polar Precision Performance and Polar ProTrainer software. 1. Fill in the name and other information of the first player. 2. Click the Add player link below the player list. 3. Fill in the name and other information of the second player. 4. Continue repeating steps 2 and 3 until you have added all the players you wish to add. Continue to the next step by clicking Next. NOTE:
Physiological values are calculated automatically when the date of birth is selected. Automatic values can be modified. A player can be removed from the player list. Click on the player you want to remove and then click the Remove link on the bottom of the wizard window. Hardware (Step 6) 11 Team2 SW Help To make sure that the Team2 hardware is plugged in correctly, do the following. 1.

NOTE that in order the USB dongle to work properly, the discovery feature must be turned on in the Windows settings. Non-secured transmitter mode Transmitters can be either in secured or non-secured mode. Basically these modes mean that:
in secured mode the transmitter is hidden from Bluetooth devices that do not know it exists, and in non-secured mode the transmitter is visible for all Bluetooth devices. How to recognize:
The transmitter is in secured mode if only one short sound is heard when it is inserted into the charger. The transmitter is in non-secured mode if three short sounds are heard when the transmitter is inserted into the charger. See Lights and sounds. How to change:
By default, when a transmitter is inserted into the charger it goes into secured mode. Change the transmitter's mode to non-secured by removing the transmitter from the charger and inserting it back within 3 seconds while the charger is powered on. If you have several transmitters that you want to put into non-secured mode, the easier way is to insert all the transmitters into the charger and then un-plug and re-plug the power cord within 3 seconds. Usage:
23 Team2 SW Help Normally the transmitters are always in secured mode. The non-secured mode is used only when:
the base station combination has been changed and the transmitters must be synchronized with the new combination, or the transmitter has been previously paired with a base station and is now paired with another. How to... How to Connect Base Station to PC The main base station can be connected to the PC with either a Ethernet cable or wireless connection. When Team2 is taken into use for the first time, the base station must be connected to the PC with the Ethernet cable. The first base station you connect/introduce to the system becomes the main base station. If you are using more than one base station in the Team2 system, only the main base station is connected to the PC (either wireless or wired connection). The secondary base stations (one or two) are connected to the main base station wirelessly and automatically after switching on. Light

Calculation method, which the sport zones are based on, can be changed by clicking the selected radio button. The options are Player's maximum heart rate, Player's heart rate reserve and Player's threshold values. Sport zone details (name, values) can be also change after the selection of calculation method. To add sport zone click Add sport zone button and type in the name and select values. NOTE that when player's threshold values is selected, you cannot add more sport zones. Player's maximum heart rate (% of HRmax) When the player's maximum heart rate is selected as the sport zone calculation method, sport zones which the user can determine are specified as a percentage of a player's maximum heart rate. As the zones are based on percentages of a player's own maximum heart rate, they are individual for each player. The same percentages are, however, used for the whole team. Player's heart rate reserve (% of HRR) When a player's heart rate reserve is selected as the sport zone calculation method, the sport zones, which can be determined by the user, are specified as a percentage of a player's heart rate reserve. The heart rate reserve is the difference between a player's resting and maximum heart rate. When the player's heart rate is his/her resting heart rate, the heart rate reserve is 0 %, because the player is not "using" his/her heart rate reserve. Player's threshold values When the player's threshold values are selected as the sport zone calculation method, the sport zones are based on the players' threshold values which are determined in the player settings. Each player has an upper threshold (anaerobic) and a lower threshold (aerobic) value. The 46 Team2 SW help coach/trainer can determine how many heart beats the upper threshold zone and the lower threshold zone differ from the players' upper and lower threshold values. The variances are the same for the whole team. The threshold values enable the most individual training analysis. Training Activities The third tab is for Training Activities. Training activities are usually set beforehand during Wizard, but more training activities can be added at any time. The number of training activities is not limited per team. For example, training activities can be Running, Football and Gym. Each training activity has a type (either continuous, intermittent or strength). The type indicates how exhausting the training activity is. The type of training activity affects the training load and recovery time calculations. Training activity examples:
Continuous Swimming Walking Skiing Roller-skating Running Intermittent Football Ice hockey Up/Downhill running Rugby Alpine skiing Strength Gym BodyPump Each training activity can have an individual color. If each training activity or test has its own individual color, it is easier for you to visualize your team's training calendar. Activities are shown in the calendar as color boxes.

You can restore the data if your PC crashes or loses the data at some point, so all the data will not be lost. If you have set automatic backups on, the Team2 software automatically takes backups when the software is closed. Still, it is important to take backups every now and then, especially before updating the software or installing a newer version. It is also recommended that you save the backup file on an external storage device, for example, a USB flash drive or an external hard drive, in addition to the PC's internal hard drive. To make a backup file:
1. Open the Team2 software. 79 Team2 SW Help 2. Click File > Database Management. A popup window opens. 3. In the Backup tab, click Browse to select a directory for the backup file. 4. Click Backup to create the backup file. This takes approximately 10 minutes / 1 GB of data. 5. Close the Database Management window by clicking Close. By default the backup file is saved into the software's directory. If you were using the default settings during the installation of the software, the default backup directory is:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Polar\Team2\data\Backup\
Windows Vista and 7: C:\ProgramData\Polar\Team2\data\backup The backup file can be copied to another location. The backup file is named with a timestamp. How to restore from backup You may need to restore data if, for example, you start using Team2 with a new PC or data has been accidentally deleted. See also how to restore archived data below. To restore data, you need a backup file, which is a file that includes all the data up until the moment it was made. If the backup file is not up to date, some data may be lost. To restore data:

To turn the automatic backups off, select Never. How to compact and archive the database The bigger the Team2 database becomes, the slower the software opens and the longer the searches take. The maximum size of the database is 4 GB. The size of the database is indicated with a color bar in the Archive tab of Database management. When the bar is green, the size of the database is less than 2 GB. When the bar is yellow, the size of the database is 2-3 GB. When the bar is red, the size of the database is over 3 GB. The size of the database can be reduced by compacting and archiving. Compacting is recommended action if the bar is yellow or red. Archiving is the final measure if compacting does not reduce the database size enough. Compacting typically reduces the database size by 20-50%.

1. Open the Team2 software. 2. Click File > Database Management. A popup window opens. 3. Open the Archive tab. 4. Click Compact to reduce the size of the database. This may take several minutes. 5. Close the Database Management window by clicking Close. Archiving The archiving is done by splitting the Team2 database from a selected date and by creating three backup files into the backup file location. When the database is archived, the following backup archive files are created:
a file that contains the whole database before it is archived, 82 Team2 SW help a file that contains the archived data for the selected date range (from the beginning until the selected date), and a file that contains the data from the selected date until the current date. Note that the disk space required for archiving is three times the size of the database file. After archiving, only the data from the selected date until the current date is available in the Team2 software. See also how to restore the archived data. These are the restore points that are saved into separate backup files when the database is archived. You can restore any of these points. To archive the database:
1. Open the Team2 software. 2. Click File > Database Management. A popup window opens. 3. Open the Archive tab. 83 Team2 SW Help 4. Select an end date for the data that is being archived. Please note that the archived data

The VO2max values vary between 3585 ml/min/kg, depending on the individuals performance and sport. Precautions Minimizing Possible Risks Training may include some risk. Before beginning a regular training program, answer the following questions concerning your health status. If you answer yes to any of these questions, consult a physician before starting any training program. Have you been physically inactive for the past 5 years?
Do you have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol?
Do you have symptoms of any disease?
Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication?
Do you have a history of breathing problems?
Are you recovering from a serious illness or medical treatment?
Do you use a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device?
Do you smoke?
Are you pregnant?
157 Team2 SW Help Note that in addition to training intensity, medications for heart conditions, blood pressure, psychological conditions, asthma, breathing, etc., as well as some energy drinks, alcohol, and nicotine may also affect heart rate. It is important to be sensitive to your bodys responses during training. If you feel unexpected pain or excessive fatigue when training, stop the exercise or continue at a lighter intensity. If you have a pacemaker, defibrillator or other implanted electronic device, you use the Polar Team2 system at your own risk. Before starting use, take a maximal training stress test under the supervision of a physician. The test is to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and the Polar Team2 system. If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with your skin or if you suspect an allergic reaction due to using the product, check the listed materials in Technical Specifications. To avoid any skin reaction to the transmitter, wear it over a shirt. Moisten the shirt well under the electrodes to ensure flawless operation. If you use insect repellent on your skin, make sure that it does not come into contact with the transmitter. Exercise equipment with electronic components may cause interfering stray signals. To tackle these problems, try the following:
1. Remove the transmitter from your chest and use the exercise equipment as you would normally. 2. Move the wrist unit around until you find an area in which it displays no stray reading or does not flash the heart symbol. Interference is often worst right in front of the display panel of the equipment, while the left or right side of the display is relatively free of disturbance. 3. Put the transmitter back on your chest and keep the wrist unit in this interference-free area as much as possible. If the Polar Team2 system still does not work, the piece of equipment may be electrically too noisy for wireless heart rate measurement. Polar Team2 transmitter may not be worn when swimming.

Four signals are used to implement the UART function. When WT11i is connected to another digital device, UART_RX and UART_TX transfer data between the two devices. The remaining two signals, UART_CTS and UART_RTS, can be used to implement RS232 hardware flow control where both are active low indicators. All UART connections are implemented using CMOS technology and have signalling levels of 0V and VDD. UART configuration parameters, such as data rate and packet format, are set using WT11i software. Note:
In order to communicate with the UART at its maximum data rate using a standard PC, an accelerated serial port adapter card is required for the PC. Table 9: Possible UART Settings The UART interface is capable of resetting WT11i upon reception of a break signal. A break is identified by a continuous logic low (0V) on the UART_RX terminal, as shown in Figure 7. If tBRK is longer than the value, defined by PSKEY_HOST_IO_UART_RESET_TIMEOUT, (0x1a4), a reset will occur. This feature allows a host to initialise the system to a known state. Also, WT11i can emit a break character that may be used to wake the host. Figure 6: Break Signal Table 10 shows a for PSKEY_UART_BAUD_RATE (0x204). There is no requirement to use these standard values. Any data rate within the supported range can be set in the PS Key according to the formula in Equation 1 list of commonly used data their associated values rates and Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 15 of 34 Equation 1: Data Rate Table 10: Standard Data Rates Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 16 of 34 6.1 UART Bypass Figure 7: UART Bypass Architecture 6.2 UART Configuration While Reset is Active The UART interface for WT11i while the chip is being held in reset is tristate. This will allow the user to daisy chain devices onto the physical UART bus. The constraint on this method is that any devices connected to this bus must tristate when WT11i reset is de-asserted and the firmware begins to run. 6.3 UART Bypass Mode Alternatively, for devices that do not tristate the UART bus, the UART bypass mode on BlueCore4-External can be used. The default state of BlueCore4-External after reset is de-asserted; this is for the host UART bus to be connected to the BlueCore4-External UART, thereby allowing communication to BlueCore4-External via the UART. All UART bypass mode connections are implemented using CMOS technology and have signalling levels of 0V and VDD. In order to apply the UART bypass mode, a BCCMD command will be issued to BlueCore4-External. Upon this issue, it will switch the bypass to PIO[7:4] as Figure XXX indicates. Once the bypass mode has been invoked, WT11i will enter the Deep Sleep state indefinitely. In order to re-establish communication with WT11i, the chip must be reset so that the default configuration takes effect. It is important for the host to ensure a clean Bluetooth disconnection of any active links before the bypass mode is invoked. Therefore, it is not possible to have active Bluetooth links while operating the bypass mode. The current consumption for a device in UART bypass mode is equal to the values quoted for a device in standby mode. Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 17 of 34 7 USB Interface This is a full speed (12Mbits/s) USB interface for communicating with other compatible digital devices. WT11i acts as a USB peripheral, responding to requests from a master host controller such as a PC. The USB interface is capable of driving a USB cable directly. No external USB transceiver is required. The device operates as a USB peripheral, responding to requests from a master host controller such as a PC. Both the OHCI and the UHCI standards are supported. The set of USB endpoints implemented can behave as specified in the USB section of the Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR specification or alternatively can appear as a set of endpoints appropriate to USB audio devices such as speakers. As USB is a master/slave oriented system (in common with other USB peripherals), WT11i only supports USB Slave operation. 7.1 USB Data Connections The USB data lines emerge as pins USB_DP and USB_DN. These terminals are connected to the internal USB I/O buffers of the BlueCore4-External, therefore, have a low output impedance. To match the connection to the characteristic impedance of the USB cable, resistors must be placed in series with USB_DP/USB_DN and the cable. 7.2 USB Pull-Up resistor WT11i features an internal USB pull-up resistor. This pulls the USB_DP pin weakly high when WT11i is ready to enumerate. It signals to the PC that it is a full speed (12Mbits/s) USB device. The USB internal pull-up is implemented as a current source, and is compliant with section 7.1.5 of the USB specification v1.2. The internal pull-up pulls USB_DP high to at least 2.8V when loaded with a 15k 5% pull-
down resistor (in the hub/host) when VDD_PADS = 3.1V. This presents a Thevenin resistance to the host of at least 900. Alternatively, an external 1.5k pull-up resistor can be placed between a PIO line and D+ on the USB cable. The firmware must be alerted to which mode is used by setting PSKEY_USB_PIO_PULLUP appropriately. The default setting uses the internal pull-up resistor. 7.3 USB Power Supply The USB specification dictates that the minimum output high voltage for USB data lines is 2.8V. To safely meet the USB specification, the voltage on the VDD supply terminal must be an absolute minimum of 3.1V. Bluegiga recommends 3.3V for optimal USB signal quality. 7.4 Self-Powered Mode In self-powered mode, the circuit is powered from its own power supply and not from the VBUS (5V) line of the USB cable. It draws only a small leakage current (below 0.5mA) from VBUS on the USB cable. This is the easier mode for which to design, as the design is not limited by the power that can be drawn from the USB hub or root port. However, it requires that VBUS be connected to WT11i via a resistor network (Rvb1 and Rvb2), so WT11i can detect when VBUS is powered up. BlueCore4-External will not pull USB_DP high when VBUS is off. Self-powered USB designs (powered from a battery or PSU) must ensure that a PIO line is allocated for USB pullup purposes. A 1.5k 5% pull-up resistor between USB_DP and the selected PIO line should be fitted to the design. Failure to fit this resistor may result in the design failing to be USB compliant in self-powered mode. The internal pull-up in BlueCore is only suitable for bus-powered USB devices, e.g., dongles. Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 18 of 34 Figure 8: USB Connections for Self-Powered Mode The terminal marked USB_ON can be any free PIO pin. The PIO pin selected must be registered by setting PSKEY_USB_PIO_VBUS to the corresponding pin number. Identifier RS Value 0 to 10 (to be matched per design)**

**) WT11i has internal 22 ohm series resistors at the USB lines. Figure 9: USB Interface Component Values 7.5 Bus-Powered Mode In bus-powered mode, the application circuit draws its current from the 5V VBUS supply on the USB cable. WT11i negotiates with the PC during the USB enumeration stage about how much current it is allowed to consume. On power-up the device must not draw more than 100 mA but after being configured it can draw up to 500 mA. For WT11i, the USB power descriptor should be altered to reflect the amount of power required. This is accomplished by setting PSKEY_USB_MAX_POWER (0x2c6). This is higher than for a Class 2 application due to the extra current drawn by the Transmit RF PA. By default for WT11i the setting is 300 mA. When selecting a regulator, be aware that VBUS may go as low as 4.4V. The inrush current (when charging reservoir and supply decoupling capacitors) is limited by the USB specification. See the USB Specification. Some applications may require soft start circuitry to limit inrush current if more than 10uF is present between VBUS and GND. The 5V VBUS line emerging from a PC is often electrically noisy. As well as regulation down to 3.3V and 1.8V, applications should include careful filtering of the 5V line to attenuate noise that is above the voltage regulator bandwidth. Excessive noise on WT11i supply pins will result in reduced receiver sensitivity and a distorted RF transmit signal. Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 19 of 34 Figure 10: USB Connections for Bus-Powered Mode 7.6 USB Suspend Current All USB devices must permit the USB controller to place them in a USB suspend mode. While in USB Suspend, bus-powered devices must not draw more than 2.5mA from USB VBUS (self-powered devices may draw more than 2.5mA from their own supply). This current draw requirement prevents operation of the radio by bus-powered devices during USB Suspend. When computing suspend current, the current from VBUS through the bus pull-up and pull-down resistors must be included. The pull-up resistor at the device is 1.5 k. (nominal). The pull-down resistor at the hub is 14.25k. to 24.80k. The pull-up voltage is nominally 3.3V, which means that holding one of the signal lines high takes approximately 200uA, leaving only 2.3mA available from a 2.5mA budget. Ensure that external LEDs and/or amplifiers can be turned off by BlueCore4-External. The entire circuit must be able to enter the suspend mode. 7.7 USB Detach and Wake-Up Signaling lines are shared with PIO pins and can be assigned WT11i can provide out-of-band signaling to a host controller by using the control lines called USB_DETACH and USB_WAKE_UP. These are outside the USB specification (no wires exist for them inside the USB cable), but can be useful when embedding WT11i into a circuit where no external USB is visible to the user. Both control to any PIO pin by setting PSKEY_USB_PIO_DETACH and PSKEY_USB_PIO_WAKEUP to the selected PIO number. USB_DETACH is an input which, when asserted high, causes WT11i to put USB_DN and USB_DP in high impedance state and turns off the pull-up resistor on DP. This detaches the device from the bus and is logically equivalent to unplugging the device. When USB_DETACH is taken low, WT11i will connect back to USB and await enumeration by the USB host. USB_WAKE_UP is an active high output (used only when USB_DETACH is active) to wake up the host and allow USB communication to recommence. It replaces the function of the software USB WAKE_UP message
(which runs over the USB cable) and cannot be sent while BlueCore4-External is effectively disconnected from the bus. Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 20 of 34 Figure 11: USB_Detach and USB_Wake_Up Signals 7.8 USB Driver A USB Bluetooth device driver is required to provide a software interface between BlueCore4-External and Bluetooth software running on the host computer. Please, contact support@bluegiga.com for suitable drivers. 7.9 USB v2.0 Compliance and Compatibility Although WT11i meets the USB specification, CSR cannot guarantee that an application circuit designed around the module is USB compliant. The choice of application circuit, component choice and PCB layout all affect USB signal quality and electrical characteristics. The information in this document is intended as a guide and should be read in association with the USB specification, with particular attention being given to Chapter 7. Independent USB qualification must be sought before an application is deemed USB compliant and can bear the USB logo. Such qualification can be obtained from a USB plugfest or from an independent USB test house. Terminals USB_DP and USB_DN adhere to the USB Specification v2.0 (Chapter 7) electrical requirements. BlueCore4-External is compatible with USB v2.0 host controllers; under these circumstances the two ends agree the mutually acceptable rate of 12Mbits/s according to the USB v2.0 specification. Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 21 of 34 8 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) The SPI port can be used for system debugging. It can also be used for programming the Flash memory and setting the PSKEY configurations. WT11i uses 16-bit data and 16-bit address serial peripheral interface, where transactions may occur when the internal processor is running or is stopped. SPI interface is connected using the MOSI, MISO, CSB and CLK pins. Please, contact support@bluegiga.com for detailed information about the instruction cycle. Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 22 of 34 9 PCM Codec Interface PCM is a standard method used to digitize audio (particularly voice) for transmission over digital communication channels. Through its PCM interface, WT11i has hardware support for continual transmission and reception of PCM data, thus reducing processor overhead for wireless headset applications. WT11i offers a bidirectional digital audio interface that routes directly into the baseband layer of the on-chip firmware. It does not pass through the HCI protocol layer. Hardware on WT11i allows the data to be sent to and received from a SCO connection. Up to three SCO connections can be supported by the PCM interface at any one time. WT11i can operate as the PCM interface master generating an output clock of 128, 256 or 512kHz. When configured as PCM interface slave, it can operate with an input clock up to 2048kHz. WT11i is compatible with a variety of clock formats, including Long Frame Sync, Short Frame Sync and GCI timing environments. It supports 13-bit or 16-bit linear, 8-bit -law or A-law companded sample formats at 8ksamples/s and can receive and transmit on any selection of three of the first four slots following PCM_SYNC. The PCM configuration options are enabled by setting PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32. WT11i interfaces directly to PCM audio devices. NOTE: Analog audio lines are very sensitive to RF disturbance. Use good layout practices to ensure noise less audio. Make sure that the return path for the audio signals follows the forward current all the way as close as possible and use fully differential signals when possible. Do not compromise audio routing. 9.1 PCM Interface Master/Slave When configured as the master of the PCM interface, WT11i generates PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC. When configured as the Slave of the PCM interface, WT11i accepts PCM_CLK rates up to 2048kHz. Figure 12: PCM Interface Master Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 23 of 34 Figure 13: PCM Interface Slave 9.2 Long Frame Sync Long Frame Sync is the name given to a clocking format that controls the transfer of PCM data words or samples. In Long Frame Sync, the rising edge of PCM_SYNC indicates the start of the PCM word. When WT11i is configured as PCM master, generating PCM_SYNC and PCM_CLK, then PCM_SYNC is 8-bits long. When WT11i is configured as PCM Slave, PCM_SYNC may be from two consecutive falling edges of PCM_CLK to half the PCM_SYNC rate, i.e., 62.5s long. Figure 14: Long Frame Sync (Shown with 8-bit Companded Sample) WT11i samples PCM_IN on the falling edge of PCM_CLK and transmits PCM_OUT on the rising edge. PCM_OUT may be configured to be high impedance on the falling edge of PCM_CLK in the LSB position or on the rising edge. 9.3 Short Frame Sync In Short Frame Sync, the falling edge of PCM_SYNC indicates the start of the PCM word. PCM_SYNC is always one clock cycle long. Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 24 of 34 Figure 15: Short Frame Sync (Shown with 16-bit Sample) As with Long Frame Sync, WT11i samples PCM_IN on the falling edge of PCM_CLK and transmits PCM_OUT on the rising edge. PCM_OUT may be configured to be high impedance on the falling edge of PCM_CLK in the LSB position or on the rising edge. 9.4 Multi-slot Operation More than one SCO connection over the PCM interface is supported using multiple slots. Up to three SCO connections can be carried over any of the first four slots. Figure 16: Multi-slot Operation with Two Slots and 8-bit Companded Samples 9.5 GCI Interface WT11i is compatible with the GCI, a standard synchronous 2B+D ISDN timing interface. The two 64kbits/s B channels can be accessed when this mode is configured. Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 25 of 34 Figure 17: GCI Interface The start of frame is indicated by the rising edge of PCM_SYNC and runs at 8kHz. With WT11i in Slave mode, the frequency of PCM_CLK can be up to 4.096MHz. 9.6 Slots and Sample Formats WT11i can receive and transmit on any selection of the first four slots following each sync pulse. Slot durations can be either 8 or 16 clock cycles. Durations of 8 clock cycles may only be used with 8-bit sample formats. Durations of 16 clocks may be used with 8-bit, 13-bit or 16-bit sample formats. WT11i supports 13-bit linear, 16-bit linear and 8-bit -law or A-law sample formats. The sample rate is 8ksamples/s. The bit order may be little or big endian. When 16-bit slots are used, the 3 or 8 unused bits in each slot may be filled with sign extension, padded with zeros or a programmable 3-bit audio attenuation compatible with some Motorola codecs. Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 26 of 34 Figure 18: 16-bit Slot Length and Sample Formats 9.7 Additional Features WT11i has a mute facility that forces PCM_OUT to be 0. In master mode, PCM_SYNC may also be forced to 0 while keeping PCM_CLK running which some codecs use to control power down. 9.8 PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC Generation WT11i has two methods of generating PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC in master mode. The first is generating these signals by DDS from BlueCore4-External internal 4MHz clock. Using this mode limits PCM_CLK to 128, 256 or 512kHz and PCM_SYNC to 8kHz. The second is generating PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC by DDS from an internal 48MHz clock (which allows a greater range of frequencies to be generated with low jitter but consumes more power). This second method is selected by setting bit 48M_PCM_CLK_GEN_EN in PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32. When in this mode and with long frame sync, the length of PCM_SYNC can be either 8 or 16 cycles of PCM_CLK, determined by LONG_LENGTH_SYNC_EN in PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32. The Equation XXX describes PCM_CLK frequency when being generated using the internal 48MHz clock:
Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 27 of 34 Equation 2: PCM_CLK Frequency When Being Generated Using the Internal 48MHz Clock The frequency of PCM_SYNC relative to PCM_CLK can be set using Equation XXX:
Equation 3: PCM_SYNC Frequency Relative to PCM_CLK CNT_RATE, CNT_LIMIT and SYNC_LIMIT are set using PSKEY_PCM_LOW_JITTER_CONFIG. As an example, set PSKEY_PCM_LOW_JITTER_CONFIG to 0x08080177. PCM_SYNC PCM_CLK generate 512kHz 8kHz, with at to at 9.9 PCM Configuration The PCM configuration is set using two PS Keys, PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32 detailed in Table XXX and PSKEY_PCM_LOW_JITTER_CONFIG is 0x00800000, i.e., first slot following sync is active, 13-bit linear voice format, long frame sync and interface master generating 256kHz PCM_CLK from 4MHz internal clock with no tri-state of PCM_OUT. in Table XXX. The default for PSKEY_PCM_CONFIG32 Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 28 of 34 Bit position Description 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Set to 0 0 selects Master mode with internal generation of PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC. 1 selects Slave mode requiring externally generated PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC. This should be set to 1 if 48M_PCM_CLK_GEN_EN (bit 11) is set. 0 selects long frame sync (rising edge indicates start of frame), 1 selects short frame sync (falling edge indicates start of frame). Set to 0 0 selects padding of 8 or 13-bit voice sample into a 16- bit slot by inserting extra LSBs, 1 selects sign extension. When padding is selected with 3-bit voice sample, the 3 padding bits are the audio gain setting; with 8-bit samples the 8 padding bits are zeroes. 0 transmits and receives voice samples MSB first, 1 uses LSB first. 0 drives PCM_OUT continuously, 1 tri-states PCM_OUT immediately after the falling edge of PCM_CLK in the last bit of an active slot, assuming the next slot is not active. 0 tristates PCM_OUT immediately after the falling edge of PCM_CLK in the last bit of an active slot, assuming the next slot is also not active. 1 tristates PCM_OUT after the rising edge of PCM_CLK. 0 enables PCM_SYNC output when master, 1 suppresses PCM_SYNC whilst keeping PCM_CLK running. Some CODECS utilize this to enter a low power state. 1 enables GCI mode. 1 forces PCM_OUT to 0. 0 sets PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC generation via DDS from internal 4 MHz clock, as for BlueCore4-External. 1 sets PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC generation via DDS from internal 48 MHz clock. 0 sets PCM_SYNC length to 8 PCM_CLK cycles and 1 sets length to 16 PCM_CLK cycles. Only applies for long frame sync and with 48M_PCM_CLK_GEN_EN set to 1. Name

Table 12: PSKEY_PCM_LOW_JITTER_CONFIG Description Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 29 of 34 10 I/O Parallel Ports Six lines of programmable bidirectional input/outputs (I/O) are provided. All the PIO lines are power from VDD. PIO lines can be configured through software to have either weak or strong pull-ups or pull-downs. All PIO lines are configured as inputs with weak pull-downs at reset. Any of the PIO lines can be configured as interrupt request lines or as wake-up lines from sleep modes. WT11i has a general purpose analogue interface pin AIO[1]. This is used to access internal circuitry and control signals. It may be configured to provide additional functionality. Auxiliary functions available via AIO[1] include an 8-bit ADC and an 8-bit DAC. Typically the ADC is used for battery voltage measurement. Signals selectable at this pin include the band gap reference voltage and a variety of clock signals: 48, 24, 16, 8MHz and the XTAL clock frequency. When used with analogue signals, the voltage range is constrained by the analogue supply voltage internally to the module (1.8V). When configured to drive out digital level signals (e.g., clocks), the output voltage level is determined by VDD. 10.1 PIO Defaults Bluegiga cannot guarantee that these terminal functions remain the same. Refer to the software release note for the implementation of these PIO lines, as they are firmware build-specific. Bluegiga Technologies Oy Page 30 of 34 11 Reset WT11i may be reset from several sources: RESET pin, power on reset, a UART break character or via software configured watchdog timer. The RESET pin is an active low reset and is internally filtered using the internal low frequency clock oscillator. A reset will be performed between 1.5 and 4.0ms following RESETB being active. It is recommended that RESET be applied for a period greater than 5ms. The power on reset occurs when the VDD_CORE supply internally to the module falls below typically 1.5V and is released when VDD_CORE rises above typically 1.6V. At reset the digital I/O pins are set to inputs for bidirectional pins and outputs are tri-state. 11.1 Pin States on Reset PIN NAME PIO[7:2]
