MT1020A

The MT1020A is a complete Bluetooth baseband processor It combines an advanced ARM7TDMI based microcontroller with on-chip memory, a full duplex voice CODEC and a dedicated Bluetooth Baseband Peripheral (BBP) block. The BBP implements all the time-critical elements of Bluetooth communication in hardware, with minimal involvement by the microcontroller. Relieving the on-chip processor of these repetitive tasks makes it possible for the MT1020A to run entire applications without an external host processor. A UART Interface is provided for use when operation with an an external host processor is required. Comprehensive power management maximises battery life for portable applications making the MT1020A particularly suitable for low power applications, especially those involving voice traffic.

MT1020A Datasheet (9/01, PDF)

Optimizing the Bluetooth Baseband Controller for Portable Voice Applications (5/01) (PDF) Bluetooth Applications for Voice+Data Bluetooth version 1.1 is ideal for devices that need to interact at moderate data rates (under 1Mbit/sec) over a distance of a few metres, when line-of-sight is an unacceptable limitation. It is particularly good for hassle-free ‘ad hoc’ communication whenever a mobile Bluetooth device comes within range of any other Bluetooth device. Voice is clearly a very attractive option - some products absolutely depend on it and many more can benefit from having it as an added feature.
