Nordic has developed a family of Bluetooth low energy silicon solutions

called µBlue. The first device (the nRF8001) has already been released in sample quantities to developers. To help electronics engineers designing nRF8001-based wireless connectivity, the company has also released the µBlue prototype kit and µBlue Software Development Kit (SDK).

This SDK is built around Nordic’s existing nRFgo development platform. nRFgo integrates hardware and software tools to provide easy control of the application processor hardware and software through a graphical user interface in nRFgo studio. Such tools include handling of the data in non-volatile memory, test modes, power control, internal software configuration and more.

The µBlue prototype kit comprises a peripheral device based around the µBlue chipset and a proprietary Master emulator that allows the user to develop and test their own Bluetooth low energy Slave device applications.

The hardware platform of the peripheral device is the nRFgo motherboard (nRF6310) that can be used for any product in the company’s transceiver families (either proprietary or Bluetooth low energy).

Consequently, existing customers will find working with µBlue chips easier as the development environment is familiar, while new customers will benefit from a market-proven development environment.

The nRFgo motherboard offers external access to the connected device pins as well as simple interfaces such as buttons, LEDs, a UART or even an additional display allowing designers to implement their targeted end-product user interfaces.

The nRF2735 daughterboard (plugged on top of the nRF6310) offers an application processor, Nordic’s nRF8200, which executes the peripheral device customer application (the nRF8001 µBlue chip doesn’t include an onboard microprocessor, reducing size, cost and power consumption, and allowing the developer to select their own choice of microprocessor). While the nRF8200 is based on a cost-effective 8051 microprocessor, manufacturers can use their own choice of microprocessor if preferred.

A µBlue module (nRF2731) is then plugged on top of the nRF2735 and incorporates the nRF8001 µBlue chip. The device is connected to the application processor through an SPI interface (widely available on most microprocessors on the market

and offering fast data transfer capabilities). (See figure 1.)

Developers wishing to use their own choice of application processor have the option to connect this module directly to their own development environment as well. The two connectors on the nRF2731 are standard 10-pin connectors; one is dedicated to the nRF In System Programmer (ISP) that enables Flash memory programming, the other is dedicated to the application processor SPI interface.

(If the selected application processor doesn’t offer an SPI interface it’s still possible to use a ‘bit-banging’ technique to connect to the µBlue chip. The µBlue SDK includes

C language source code for an application processor to handle an SPI connection using bit-banging, allowing even the least expensive processor to be connected to the µBlue chip.

A fAmiliAr environmentThe nRF2739 master emulator platform offers a fully functional Bluetooth low energy Master device and complements the peripheral device. The master emulator is controlled through a USB connection to a computer. (See figure 2.)

The development tools allow the engineer to tune some specific parameters of the Bluetooth low energy specification in order to

adapt the Master device’s behavior to suit the end product. For example, while the connection interval, slave latency and supervision timeout are set by the Master device they will directly impact the Slave device data transfer rate and power consumption (in addition these parameters determine reactivity to a link loss). With power consumption the critical concern for Bluetooth low energy devices, this tool allows the designer to anticipate worst-case scenarios that could come from a demanding Master application.

Software development is based on the Keil™ IDE; Keil’s product is available for most widely deployed microprocessors. By basing its device software development on the Keil tool suite, Nordic is providing developers with a familiar environment. Moreover, this allows the re-use of Nordic sample applications source code, and the modification or merger of this code with any code the developer has written previously.

All source code is in C language and structured so that application processor architecture-specific routines are independent from the main application code. It is therefore easy to port the code to an application processor other than the nRF8200, as only these architecture specific (hardware abstraction) routines have to be modified to suit the selected processor.

The nRF8001 integrates a qualified Bluetooth low energy software stack including Host and Link Layers. The (upper layer) Profiles reside on the application processor, but are downloaded to the nRF8001 before runtime. The nRF8001 is then controlled through a simple software interface. This interface is designed to simplify the complex Bluetooth low energy specification details, removing the burden of acquiring intimate knowledge of the Bluetooth low energy specification from developers.

Consequently, profiles can thus be developed and tested rapidly without any errors caused by a misunderstanding of the Bluetooth low energy Host specification. Because there is no possibility that the application software can corrupt the pre-qualified Nordic software stack (running on the nRF8001), the Qualification process is much simplified.

Supplied with profileSThe µBlue SDK is supplied complete with Bluetooth low energy Profiles developed by Nordic. The full source code and binary files are delivered with the SDK so it’s possible to easily test the Bluetooth low energy capabilities of µBlue right “out-of-the-box”. Any new Profile will appear through a Service Discovery tool. Developers can use this tool to read or write data and check the correct behavior of their Slave product.

The µBlue prototype kit offers complete hardware and software suites to enable immediate testing of Nordic’s µBlue Bluetooth low energy solution. Developers can re-use well-known tools, either from Nordic or from other suppliers, to quickly integrate µBlue in their system solution and write new applications by using extensive source code and manuals delivered in the kit. Although RF design will never be trivial, with the µBlue prototype kit, access to the exciting world of interoperable

ULP wireless connectivity is much less of a challenge.

By providing a complete solution, the µBlue™ family will significantly ease the effort and cost for manufacturers to make Bluetooth low energy wireless-enabled products. A high level of integration, tiny chip size, and low external component count makes µBlue™ ideal for size-constrained

applications like watches and wearable sensors. µBlue™ will also be made available in a number of targeted application variants to suit the specific requirements of products in various market segments. µBlue™ expands the range of application areas where manufacturers can take advantage of Bluetooth wireless connectivity as well as deliver an improved user experience in existing applications. Unlike existing Bluetooth wireless technology, µBlue™ will support applications that use small batteries such as CR2032 coin cells, and will deliver months to years of battery lifetime. In addition, some applications that use Classic Bluetooth today – such as Bluetooth-enabled watches and remote controls - will benefit on both battery lifetime and cost by migrating to µBlue™ Bluetooth low energy wireless technology.

Enabling the Next Generation of Broadcast Video Equipment

Gennum’s award winning portfolio of professional and broadcast solutions includes Equalizers,

Reclockers, Cable Drivers, Serializers/Deserializers, Timing and Clock Cleaners and Video

Optical modules. Featured in this publication are the Serial Routing and Distribution (SRD)

products.

What is Driving the 3G-SDI Adoption

Improved jitter attenuation and improved jitter margins mean that there is more tolerance

for cascaded SDI signals.

Longer cable distances using coaxial cables means less need to install fiber optics to go the longer distances.

Better performance even at lower data rates, 3G can deliver longer cable lengths and reduced bit error rates.

Improved system reliability with 3G covering both SD/HD data rates then there is a far simplified plant design with less mix of components.

LTC2379-18 - 18-Bit, 1.6Msps, Low Power SAR ADCAchieves an unrivaled 101dB SNR and -118dB THD while supporting a fully differential ±5V input range.

The LTC2379-18 is a low noise, low power, high speed 18-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC. Operating from a 2.5V supply, the LTC2379-18 has a ± VREF fully differential input range with VREF ranging from 2.5V to 5.1V. The LTC2379-18 consumes only 18mW and achieves ±2LSB INL maximum, no missing codes at 18-bits with 101dB SNR.

The LTC2379-18 has a high speed SPI-compatible serial interface that supports 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 5V logic while also featuring a daisychain mode. The fast 1.6Msps throughput with no cycle latency makes the LTC2379-18 ideally suited for a

wide variety of high speed applications. An internal oscillator sets the conversion time, easing external timing considerations. The LTC2379-18 automatically powers down between conversions, leading to reduced power dissipation that scales with the sampling rate.

The LTC2379-18 offers a digital gain compression (DGC) feature that allows a full-scale input to be achieved with inputs that swing between 10% and 90% of the ±VREF analog input range.

Design Considerations for the Programmable Power Subsystem of an RFID Enabled Industrial Controller

Design Considerations for a Passive Infrared Enabled Remote Monitoring/Surveillance Camera When Using the Conexant CX93510

With the availability of low cost RFID tags, it is now possible to monitor and track a wide variety of objects throughout the manufacturing, stocking and shipping phases of product delivery. RFID tags are in-expensive enough to be used pervasively with most products of medium to high cost.

Industrial controllers, which monitor and control most steps in product delivery, equipped with RFID reading technology can operate with increased efficiency. Products with limited shelf lifetimes, susceptibility to temperature or humidity variations, various in processing priority or

changes in shipping destinations can all benefit from RFID-based tracking and routing capabilities.

Industrial control designs can benefit from the use of an intelligent power subsystem, one that can enable and disable power to various sections of the system to improve energy

efficiency. A proper system approach to the design of a power subsystem can also provide solutions to problems associated with things like: control of power rail ramp up and ramp down, power fault detection, and thermal management.

This application note will discuss the selection process during the architectural design stage of the critical components- processor, memory, peripherals and power subsystem. System design considerations for the power subsystem will be covered in enough detail to improve a designers ‘start-up time’ for a similar design and help avoid common pitfalls.

This application note will show the key requirements of a passive infrared enabled surveillance

camera, the kind that might be deployed in an apartment building, financial institution or residence.

The camera will capture both video and audio data which can be transferred to a central control

panel. The use of passive infrared detection allows the camera to be triggered when a change in the

environment is detected. This will save on power and will make it easier to detect alarm conditions-

like an intruder or movement of a door or window.

Topics in this application note are organized by design task (Device Selection, System Design,

and Board Design) and each topic is a stand-alone section, with a short introduction or overview,

followed by the key design guidelines.
