ATBTLC1000XR/ZR
Ultra-Low Power BLE ATBTLC1000-XR1100A SiP/
ATBTLC1000-ZR110CA Module Datasheet
Introduction
The Microchip ATBTLC1000-XR1100A is an ultra-low power Bluetooth low energy System in a Package
(SiP) with Integrated MCU, Transceiver, Modem, MAC, PA, Transmit/Receive (T/R) Switch, and Power
Management Unit (PMU). It can be used as a Bluetooth Low Energy link controller or data pump with
external host MCU. The host interface between MCU and ATBTLC1000-XR1100A is a UART with
hardware flow control.
The Bluetooth SIG qualified protocol stack is stored in a dedicated ROM. The firmware includes L2CAP
service layer protocols, Security Manager, Attribute protocol (ATT), Generic Attribute Profile (GATT), and
the Generic Access Profile (GAP). Additionally, example applications are available for application profiles
such as proximity, thermometer, heart rate, blood pressure and many other SIG-defined profiles.
The ATBTLC1000-XR1100A provides a compact footprint and various embedded features such as a 26
MHz crystal oscillator. It provides the right solution for the customer, whose BLE design requires full
features, using low power consumption and minimal PCB space.
The ATBTLC1000-ZR110CA is a fully certified module that contains the ATBTLC1000-XR1100A and all
external circuitry required including a ceramic high-gain antenna. The user needs to place the module
into their PCB design, provide power, a 32.768 kHz Real Time Clock or crystal, and an I/O path for
interfacing with the host MCU.
Microchip BluSDK offers a comprehensive set of tools including reference applications for several
Bluetooth SIG-defined profiles and a custom profile. The BluSDK will help the user to quickly evaluate,
design and develop BLE products with the ATBTLC1000-XR1100A and ATBTLC1000-ZR110CA.
The ATBTLC1000-XR1100A and associated ATBTLC1000-ZR110CA module have passed the Bluetooth
SIG certification for interoperability with the Bluetooth Low Energy 4.2 specification.
