PRODUCT SUMMARY
CX72303: 1.8 V Ultra-Low Power Bluetooth™ RF Transceiver
APPLICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
The CX72303 is the lowest powered, fully integrated single-
chip Bluetooth™ radio transceiver. Fully compliant with
Bluetooth Specification v1.1, the CX72303 was designed from
the ground up for extreme low power operation in handsets,
headsets, or other power sensitive applications. Extreme low
power 1.8 V operation is combined with high performance to
exceed the Bluetooth requirements for Class 2 and 3 operation.
• ISM 2.4 GHz frequency band
• Personal wireless connectivity
• Cellular phones, handsets, headsets, and earpieces
• PDAs and palm-top computers
• PC and laptop computers
FEATURES
The CX72303 has an internal voltage regulator that allows
operation with higher supply voltages while holding the line on
power consumption. An extended frequency range is provided
to allow operation in all 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and
Medical (ISM) band regulatory jurisdictions. Transmitter output
power is up to +3 dBm with a typical receiver sensitivity of
–82 dBm at the antenna.
• Fully integrated single-chip transceiver with on-chip VCO,
synthesizer, PA, LNA, image-reject downconverter, IF filters,
RSSI, and demodulator for the ISM 2.4 GHz band
• Class 2 and 3 Bluetooth v1.1 compliant
• –82 dBm typical Rx sensitivity at antenna
• Low voltage supply (1.8 V)
Fabricated in a Silicon-Germanium (SiGe) Bi-polar
Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (BiCMOS) process,
the CX72303 is a state-of-the-art mixed signal device mounted
in a small, low profile 7 x 7 x 0.8 mm Bump Chip Carrier
(BCC++) 48-pin package.
• Internal dual mode 1.5 V/1.8 V regulator available on
CX72303-61 option; CX72303-11 option offers 1.5 V
regulator only
• 19 mA peak Tx current at maximum power
• 24 mA peak Rx current consumption
• 11 mA peak Tx current at –10 dBm
• 15 µA low power timing clock mode
A block diagram of the CX72303 is shown in Figure 1.
