Slide 2 Serial Module Approved as an END PRODUCT No customer approvals required (Murata, Alps etc need approval) 5 I/O Lines 2 ADC Channels Serial Profile – Industrial Automation DUN Profile – Phone Access Headset Profile – Voice Applications

Slide 3 Bluetooth Overview Wireless Cable Replacement Technology Range 10 metres – 200 metres Output Power 1mW – 100mW 2.4GHz, SSFH, 1,600 hops per second Max data rate 721 kbps. 3 x Voice channels Low power consumption for handheld applications

Slide 4 Simple Software Integration All modem control signals available e.g DTR,DSR.DCD,RI,RTS,RTS Configurable baud-rates up to 921,600 bps Connections can be dropped via ^^^ escape sequence or when DSR is de-asserted. Connections indicated by assertion of DCD In coming connections indicated via RI line Can be member of a piconet when connect device is terminated All I/O lines accessible via S registers using the AT protocol Prototypes work in hours rather than months

Slide 5 Commercial Advantages Based on Technology Leading TDK design Optimised RF design gives ~ 200m range Virtual Machine eliminates extra flash and processor, so 50% of cost of rival products Excellent RF immunity from TDK Antenna design. Full Software and Firmware Support available Guaranteed Bluetooth Interoperability Fully Pre-Approved – no Bluetooth or RF knowledge required from integrator. TDK is responsible for all of the RF and Bluetooth. Wireless becomes as simple as adding a connector
