1. Functional Description
1.1 Bluetooth Baseband Core
The Bluetooth Baseband Core (BBC) implements all of the time-critical functions required for high performance Bluetooth operation.
The BBC manages the buffering, segmentation, and data routing for all connections. It also buffers data that passes through it, han-
dles data flow control, schedules ACL TX/RX transactions, monitors Bluetooth slot usage, optimally segments and packages data
into baseband packets, manages connection status indicators, and composes and decodes HCI packets. In addition to these func-
tions, it independently handles HCI event types and HCI command types.
The following transmit and receive functions are also implemented in the BBC hardware to increase TX/RX data reliability and secu-
rity before sending over the air:
■
■
Receive Functions: symbol timing recovery, data deframing, forward error correction (FEC), header error control (HEC), cyclic
redundancy check (CRC), data decryption, and data dewhitening.
Transmit Functions: data framing, FEC generation, HEC generation, CRC generation, link key generation, data encryption, and data
whitening.
1.1.1 Frequency Hopping Generator
The frequency hopping sequence generator selects the correct hopping channel number depending on the link controller state,
Bluetooth clock, and device address.
1.1.2 E0 Encryption
The encryption key and the encryption engine are implemented using dedicated hardware to reduce software complexity and pro-
vide minimal processor intervention.
1.1.3 Link Control Layer
The link control layer is part of the Bluetooth link control functions that are implemented in dedicated logic in the Link Control Unit
(LCU). This layer consists of the Command Controller, which takes software commands, and other controllers that are activated or
configured by the Command Controller to perform the link control tasks. Each task performs a different Bluetooth link controller state.
STANDBY and CONNECTION are the two major states. In addition, there are five substates: page, page scan, inquiry, and inquiry
scan.
1.1.4 Adaptive Frequency Hopping
The CYW20736 gathers link quality statistics on a channel-by-channel basis to facilitate channel assessment and channel map
selection. The link quality is determined by using both RF and baseband signal processing to provide a more accurate frequency
hop map.

1.1.6 Test Mode Support
The CYW20736 fully supports Bluetooth Test mode, as described in the Bluetooth low energy specification.
1.2 Infrared Modulator
The CYW20736 includes hardware support for infrared TX. The hardware can transmit both modulated and unmodulated wave-
forms. For modulated waveforms, hardware inserts the desired carrier frequency into all IR transmissions. IR TX can be sourced
from firmware-supplied descriptors, a programmable bit, or the peripheral UART transmitter.
If descriptors are used, they include IR on/off state and the duration between 1–32767 µsec. The CYW20736 IR TX firmware driver
inserts this information in a hardware FIFO and makes sure that all descriptors are played out without a glitch due to underrun (see
Figure 2).
Figure 2. Infrared TX
1.3 Infrared Learning
The CYW20736 includes hardware support for infrared learning. The hardware can detect both modulated and unmodulated sig-
nals. For modulated signals, the CYW20736 can detect carrier frequencies between 10 kHz–500 kHz and the duration that the sig-
nal is present or absent. The CYW20736 firmware driver supports further analysis and compression of learned signal. The learned
signal can then be played back through the CYW20736 IR TX subsystem (see
