GDM1101 is a Bluetooth single-chip CMOS IC with
integrated radio transceiver and baseband controller
providing a complete Bluetooth version 1.1 solution
(excluding external flash memory). GDM1101 consi sts
of a radio transceiver employing GCT's patented
direct conversion technology, baseband controller with bit processor,
GCT's proprietary embedded RISC processor, and standard peripheral
interfaces such as UART/USB/PCM.
GDM1101
󳢯With GCT's patented direct conversion technology minimizing LO coupling
and DC offsets, the GDM1101 surpasses Bluetooth 1.1 performance
requirements, especially for high channel selectivity and broad dynamic range,
thus providing reliable and superior performance in the presence of many
ISM band RF interferers.
󳢯The on-chip 32-bit RISC processor is powerful enough to support full rate
Bluetooth communications. Its instruction set is optimized for bit processing
in embedded solutions or voice applications, which are frequently used in
Bluetooth.
󳢯With 64Kbytes of internal SRAM, the GDM1101 effectively supports on-chip
Bluetooth stack without using any external memory, which results in lower
power consumption and a more cost effective solution for embedded or
hosted Bluetooth applications.
