Description
The Bluetooth Baseband PBM 990 80 from Ericsson
Microelectronics is a generic baseband controller with
integrated Flash memory for fast implementation. It
is a compact and cost effective baseband controller
that can be implemented in any kind of electronic
device.The standard configuration includes a baseband
processor together with either 4, 8 or 16 MBit Flash
memory loaded with basic Bluetooth software for
signaling at HCI level (Host Control Interface). As
the PBM 990 80 is a generic product, it can be used
for many different types of applications that require
Bluetooth capability such as:
• Data and Voice access points
• Cable replacement
• Ad hoc networking
The PBM 990 80 is based on the scalable Ericsson
Bluetooth Core (EBC) architecture. The system
controller is an embedded ARM7TDMI™
microprocessor communicating with the EBC. This
configuration allows for embedded stand-alone
Bluetooth applications where your target application
is embedded within the baseband controller, in
addition to traditional host-based applications.
This possibility is especially useful in accessory type
applications like cordless headsets and industrial
sensor and actuator devices. Providing a wide range
of external interfaces like USB, GPIO, Bidirectional
serial interface/GPIO, PCM and a pair of UARTS
and the flexible Flash memories, the PBM 990 80 is
ideally suited for access applications in desktop and
mobile computing environments, home base stations,
and hot spot network access points.
