The RISC microcontroller is capable of running applications to access the BTLE v4.0 software stack, serial interfaces and IOs. Software development is through CSR’s µEnergy Integrated Development Environment (xIDE) supplied with CSR’s μEnergy™ Software Development Kits (SDKs). The SDK is available from either CSR or Unigen for purchase. The SDK allows the module to be utilized specifically for the end application and product. The xIDE allows software engineers to build and configure the application projects provided with application specific SDKs or to independently develop applications to run on CSR’s μEnergy™ ICs or Anthias. It supports the development and debugging of applications written in ANSI C language. Code is written in the text editor and when complete, built and compiled along with the μEnergy™ firmware supplied as part of the SDK. When compiled the resultant machine code can be downloaded to and run on Anthias. The code can then be debugged on-module using the facilities in xIDE. Applications can be developed from the reference application code provided, using the example code and library functions supplied, to adapt and add functionality. The application source code provided implements various Bluetooth Low Energy Profiles. These Profiles can be used as part of the user’s own applications. Using profile code and example applications as a starting point for development, greatly reduces the effort required to produce working Bluetooth Low Energy applications that correctly implement the required Bluetooth Low Energy Profiles To obtain the SDK please contact Unigen for more details. Note: The supplied profile code usually supports all the mandatory features and most but not all optional features of a particular profile. See the individual SDK Release Note for details.

A 16-bit RISC microcontroller is used for low power consumption and efficient use of memory. Programmable I/O Ports, PIO and AIO 12 lines of programmable bidirectional I/O are provided. They are all powered from the Anthias internal regulating circuitry. PIO lines are software-configurable as weak pull-up, weak pull-down, strong pull-up or strong pull-down. Note: At reset all PIO lines are inputs with internal weak pull-downs. Any of the PIO lines can be configured as interrupt request lines or to wake the module from deep sleep mode. Table below lists the options for waking the module from the sleep modes. Table 8: Wake Options Sleep Mode Wake-up Options Dormant Can only be woken by the WAKE pad. Hibernate Can only be woken by the WAKE pad or by the watchdog timer. Deep Sleep Can be woken by any PIO configured to wake the module. The Anthias module supports alternative functions on the PIO lines:  SPI Interface  UART  LED Flasher / PWM modules Note: Unigen cannot guarantee that all the PIO assignments remain as described. Implementation of the PIO lines is firmware build specific. For more information, see relevant software release note. Anthias has 3 general purpose analog interface pads, AIO[2:0] .

These functions are controlled by the on-chip firmware. POWER CONTROL, REGULATION AND RESET Figure 5: Anthias Internal Regulation Block Internal Switch-mode Regulator Anthias has an internal switch mode regulator that generates the main rail from the battery (VDD_BAT). The main rail supplies the lower regulated voltage to a further internal digital linear regulator and also to the analog sections of the Anthias module. The switch mode regulator generates typically an internal 1.35V. Internal Low-voltage Linear Regulator The integrated low-voltage VDD_DIG linear regulator powers the Anthias digital circuits. The input voltage range is 0.65V to 1.35V. It can supply programmable voltages of 0.65V to 1.20V to the digital area of the Anthias module. The maximum output current for this regulator is 30mA. Important Note: These regulators are for internal Unigen use only. See example circuit diagram for Unigen recommended circuit connection.

When Anthias is connected to another digital device, UART_RX and UART_TX transfer data between the 2 devices. UART configuration parameters, e.g. baud rate and data format, are set using ANTHIAS application code firmware. When selected in firmware PIO[0] is assigned to a UART_TX output and PIO[1] is assigned to a UART_RX input, see the module pad assignment and description for more details. The UART CTS and UART RTS signals can be assigned to any PIO pad by the on-chip firmware. Note: To communicate with the UART at its maximum data rate using a standard PC, the PC requires an accelerated serial port adapter card.

SPI Master Serial Flash Interface The SPI Serial Flash Interface is only available if Anthias is ordered and configured without the internal EEPROM option on the module. The SPI master memory interface in the Anthias module is overlaid on the internal I²C EEPROM interface and uses 3 other specific PIOs for the additional signaling. See the table on the next page for more details. PIO[2] is used to power the Serial Flash upon boot up to read the contents and load into RAM. After loading the contents, PIO[2] is de-asserted to shut down the Serial Flash for power savings. Figure 6: External Serial EEPROM Circuitry

Programming and Debug Interface Important Note: The Anthias module debug SPI interface is available in SPI slave mode to enable an external microcontroller to program and control the module, generally via libraries or tools supplied by CSR/Unigen. The protocol of this interface is proprietary. The 4 SPI debug lines directly support this function. The SPI programs, configures and debugs the Anthias module. It is required for firmware upgrade or debug. Ensure the 4 SPI signals are brought out to either test points or a header. If firmware upgrading is required in the field then this interface needs to be accessible externally. Take SPI_PIO#_SEL high to enable the SPI debug feature on PIO[8:5]. Anthias uses a 16-bit data and 16-bit address programming and debug interface. Transactions occur when the internal processor is running or is stopped. Data is written or read one word at a time, or the auto-increment feature is available for block access.

The table below shows the instruction cycle for a SPI transaction. Table 12: SPI Transactions 1 Reset the SPI interface Hold DEBUG_CS# high for 2 DEBUG_CLK cycles 2 Write the command word Take DEBUG_CS# low and clock in the 8-bit command 3 Write the address Clock in the 16-bit address word 4 Write or read data words Clock in or out 16-bit data word(s) 5 Termination Take DEBUG_CS# high With the exception of reset, DEBUG_CS# must be held low during the transaction. Data on DEBUG_MOSI is clocked into the Anthias on the rising edge of the clock line DEBUG_CLK. When reading, Anthias replies to the master on DEBUG_MISO with the data changing on the falling edge of the DEBUG_CLK. The master provides the clock on DEBUG_CLK. The transaction is terminated by taking DEBUG_CS# high. The auto increment operation on the Anthias cuts down on the overhead of sending a command word and the address of a register for each read or write, especially when large amounts of data are to be transferred. The auto increment offers increased data transfer efficiency on the Anthias module. To invoke auto increment, DEBUG_CS# is kept low, which auto increments the address, while providing an extra 16 clock cycles for each extra word written or read. Multi-slave Operation Do not connect the Anthias module in a multi-slave arrangement by simple parallel connection of slave MISO lines. When Anthias is deselected (DEBUG_CS# = 1), the DEBUG_MISO line does not float. Instead, Anthias outputs 0 if the processor is running or 1 if it is stopped.
