GDM1000 Radio Transceiver

GDM1000 is a CMOS RF transceiver with a GFSK modem and frequency-hopping synthesizer for Bluetooth communications. The GDM1000 incorporates the complete receive and transmit paths, including PLL, VCO, LNA, PA, mixer, modulator, demodulator, channel select filters, and digital GFSK modem with SYNCWORD detector. The GDM1000 chipset requires only an external antenna and crystal to provide a complete Bluetooth radio. The GDM1000 supports the standard BlueRF RXMODE2/3 unidirectional and JTAG serial interfaces, which can connect various kinds of baseband devices.

GDM1101 Single Chip Solution

The GDM1101 is a Bluetooth single-chip CMOS IC with integrated radio & baseband providing a complete Bluetooth 1.1 solution, which is comprised of a radio transceiver employing GCT's patented direct conversion technology, a Bluetooth baseband controller with bit processor, a GCT proprietary 32-bit embedded RISC processor, and UART/PCM/USB standard/peripheral interfaces. The on-chip 32-bit embedded RISC processor is powerful enough to support full rate Bluetooth data communications and includes sufficient embedded SRAM to support both embedded solutions or voice applications without external memory, which results in low-power consumption and a more cost-effective solutions. A few external elements such as external antenna, crystal and 128KB flash memory are needed for complete Bluetooth systems.


GDM1201 Baseband Processor

The GDM1201 is one of several Bluetooth ICs offered in the GCT Bluetooth product family. The GDM1201 is a Bluetooth baseband IC implemented with CMOS technology. Together with the GDM1000 radio transceiver IC and an external flash memory, it provides a fully compliant Bluetooth solution for data and voice communications.


GDM1202 Baseband Processor

GDM1202 consists of programmable seamless Bluetooth RF interfaces such as BlueQ or BlueRF RXMODE2/3, Bluetooth baseband and bit processor, GCT proprietary 96MIPS hybrid RISC/DSP embedded processor with 48bit resolution, and UART/PCM/USB/DAC standard interfaces. The on-chip 32-bit hybrid RISC/DSP embedded processor is powerful enough to support full rate Bluetooth data/voice communications as well as full rate digital audio decoding and includes sufficient embedded SRAM (128Kbytes) to support both an on-chip Bluetooth stack, A/V protocols and several audio applications without external memory, thus providing cost-effective and low-power solution.


Software

GCT will provide the full Bluetooth software stack from the Baseband layer to the Bluetooth Profiles, including two forms of HCI for hosted applications- normal HCIimplemented specified in the Bluetooth specification, and GCT Extended HCI (GXHCI), which has GCT specific commands abstracted at a higher level.


GCT Bluetooth Development Kit (GBLUE-Kit)

GCT provides a complete development kit for implementing Bluetooth software and hardware applications along with silicon solutions,which are also supported by GCT.GBLUE-Kit, GCT Bluetooth Development Kit,is designed for professional developers targeting both host software and on-chip applications.
