BT830 Series Bluetooth v4.0 Class 1 UART HCI Modules The BT830 series of UART HCI modules are a complement to Lairds original dual-mode Bluetooth v4.0 offerings (BT800 series), bringing support for Classic Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) in a tiny footprint. Leveraging the market-leading CSR 8811 chipset, the BT830 series provides exceptionally low power consumption with outstanding range. Supporting the latest Bluetooth v4.0 Specification with EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), the Laird BT830 series enables OEMs to accelerate their development time for leveraging either Classic Bluetooth or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) into their operating system-based devices. The BT830 has a footprint as small as 8.5 x 13 mm, yet output power at 7 dBm. This makes these modules ideal for applications where designers BT830-ST need both performance and minimum size. For maximum flexibility in systems integration, the modules are designed to support a UART 2 interface plus GPIO and additionally I S and PCM audio interfaces. These modules present an HCI interface and have native support for Windows CE/Mobile and Linux Bluetooth software stacks. All BT830 series devices are fully qualified by the Bluetooth SIG as a Hardware Controller Subsystem. This also allows designers to integrate their existing pre- approved Bluetooth Host and Profile subsystem stacks to gain a Bluetooth END product approval for their products. The BT830 series is engineered to provide excellent RF performance with options for an integrated antenna or for an external antenna via a trace BT830-SA pin. Additionally, the modules have on-board band pass filters to further reduce the regulatory and testing requirements for OEMs, ensuring a hassle-free development cycle. A fully featured, low-cost developers kit is available for prototyping, debug, and integration testing of the BT830 series modules and further reduces risk and time in development cycles.
