8 Detailed Description

8.1 Overview

LMX9838 is a fully certified Bluetooth 2.0 module, with integrated processor, radio, antenna, LDO, crystal, and

passive components to form a small form factor plug-n-play solution. The built-in Bluetooth stacks up to the

application layer allows users to communicate directly with SPP commands, and develop additional SPP-based

Bluetooth profiles on Host through UART interface.

8.2 Functional Block Diagram

8.3 Feature Description

8.3.1 Features Overview

The firmware supplied in the on-chip ROM memory offers a complete Bluetooth (v2.0) stack including profiles

and command interface. This firmware features point-to-point and point-to-multipoint link management supporting

data rates up to the theoretical maximum over RFComm of 704 kbps. The internal memory supports up to 7

active Bluetooth data links and one active SCO link.

The on-chip Patch RAM provided for lowest cost and risk, allows the flexibility of firmware upgrade.

The module is lead free and RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant.
