LMX5001
Dedicated Bluetooth Link Controller
General Description
The LMX5001 Dedicated Bluetooth™ Link Controller has
been designed to interface with the LMX3162, Single Chip
Radio Transceiver to provide a rapid design path to a com-
plete Bluetooth physical layer.
The LMX5001 also offers a low power and cost competitive
solution to the Bluetooth Link Controller function.
The LMX5001 can be attached to a Link Management Con-
troller, or Host processor performing the Link Management
function to implement a complete Bluetooth interface.
Bluetooth is a world-wide recognized wireless communica-
tion standard, which operates in the ISM band (2.4 GHz), of-
fering a low cost and convenient wireless replacement for
data/voice cable links between fixed and mobile electronic
devices.
Utilizing a GFSK modulation scheme, with frequency hop-
ping, Bluetooth is able to offer a low power, low cost, robust
and spectrally efficient spread spectrum packet data system.
