Interfaces

USB Interface

  • QCC5181 WLCSP has a USB interface, device port, and charger detection.

USB interface

  • QCC5181 WLCSP has a USB device interface: An upstream port, for connection to a host Phone/PC or battery charging adaptor.
  • For details on software support for USB features, see ADK documentation.

USB device port

  • The device port is a USB 2.0 Full Speed (12 Mb/s) port. Typically QCC5181 WLCSP enumerates as a compound device with a hub. The enabled audio source/sink / HID/mass storage device appears behind that hub.
  • The DP 1.5 k pull-up is integrated into QCC5181 WLCSP. No series resistors are required on the USB data lines.
  • QCC5181 WLCSP contains integrated ESD protection on the data lines to IEC 61000-4-2 (device level). In normal applications, no external ESD protection is required.
  • Extra ESD protection is not required on VCHG (VBUS) because QCC5181 WLCSP meets the USB certification requirements of a minimum of 1uF, and a maximum of 10 μF being present on VCHG (VBUS).
  • The VCHG input of QCC5181 WLCSP is tolerant of a constant 6.5 V and transients up to 7.0 V. Use an external clamping protection device if extra overvoltage protection is required.

USB charger detection

  • QCC5181 WLCSP supports charger detection to the USB BC 1.2specification. It provides Data Contact Detection (DCD) using an internal current source, and provides:
    • Detection of Standard Downstream Ports (SDP)
    • Charging Downstream Ports (CDP)
    • Dedicated Downstream Ports (DCP)
  • The 10‑bit auxiliary ADC reads the voltage on the USB data lines.
  • This enables the detection of proprietary chargers that bias the voltage on the USB data lines. For USB Type-C® connectors, use the LED pins to detect the voltage on the USB Configuration Channel (CC) line pins (CC1 and CC2) to detect the charge current capabilities of the upstream device.

PIO

  • QCC5181 WLCSP has the following digital input/output (I/O) pads: 21 PIO pads:
  • Including 1 x Reset (active low) pad: PIO[1]
    • 6 x pads for the Applications subsystem QSPI interface
    • 6 x pads intended for LED operation: LED[5:0]
    • 1 x power-on signaling: SYS_CTRL, available for use as an input after boot.

PIO pad allocation

  • The following QCC5181 WLCSP functions have specific pad allocations:
    • QSPI (Applications subsystem)
    • QSPI interface for optional support of external Audio buffer RAM
    • LED pads
    • Transaction bridge
    • Audio I²S/PCM
  • NOTE: Any PIO is usable for:
    • Digital microphones
    • SPDIF
    • UART
    • Bit Serializer (I²C/SPI)
    • LED PWM controllers

Standard I/O

  • The standard digital I/O pins (PIO) on QCC5181 WLCSP are split into separate pad domains. Each VDD_PADS domain can be separately powered, from 1.7 V to 3.6 V.

  • NOTE: When PIOs in a supply domain are used for a high-speed interface, decoupling the respective VDD_PADS pin with a 100 nF decoupling capacitor may be beneficial. The VDD_PADS of a particular pin should be powered before voltages are applied to any PIO powered by that domain, otherwise, back powering can occur through the electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection in the pad.

  • PIOs are programmed to have a pull-up or pull-down with two strengths (weak and strong). Program PIO with a sticky function where they are strongly pulled to their current input state. PIO has a reset pull state. After resetting, pulls are
    reconfigurable using software.

  • PIO also has a programmable drive strength capability of 2, 4, 8, or 12 mA.

  • All subsystems can read all PIO. Use software to assign PIO write access to particular subsystem control. To make PIO inputs available use Schmitt triggers.

Pad multiplexing

  • A QCC5181 WLCSP pad function is chosen at runtime from multiple potential functions, using multiplexing.
  • In the input direction, signals are driven into the chip, and all PIOs are distributed to each subsystem and visible on the PIO status bus. The subsystem selects I/Os of interest for a particular application.
  • In the output direction, the System Manager has overall control of PIO allocation and control. When a PIO is allocated to a particular subsystem, the output is connected from the subsystem to the pad. There are no registers between the subsystem and the pad.
  • The LED pins and some other peripheral I/O states are read as virtual PIOs, see Table 8-1.

RESET# reset pin

  • The QCC5181 WLCSP digital reset pin (RESET#) is an active low reset signal. PIO[1] defaults to RESET# on boot.

  • When the pin is active low, on-chip glitch filtering avoids unintended resets by filtering out spurious noise. The RESET# pin has a fixed strong pull-up to VDD_PADS_1 and can be left unconnected. The input is asynchronous
    and is pulse extended within QCC5181 WLCSP to ensure a full reset.

  • QCC5181 WLCSP contains internal Reset Protection functionality to automatically keep the power rails enabled and enable the system to restart after an unintended reset (such as a severe ESD event). Assertion of RESET# beyond the

  • Reset Protection timeout (typically greater than~1.8 s) causes the device to power down if VCHG is not present and SYS_CTRL is low. QCC5181 WLCSP then requires a SYS_CTRL assertion or VCHG attached to restart.

  • NOTE: QCC5181 WLCSP is always powered if VCHG is present. It does not power down if RESET# is asserted while VCHG remains present.

  • QTIL recommends that QCC5181 WLCSP is powered down using software control rather than the external assertion of RESET#.

  • Holding RESET# low continuously is not the lowest QCC5181 WLCSP power state, because pull-downs are enabled on VCHG and VDD_BYP in this state.

  • RESET# is guaranteed to work if held low for 120 μs.

  • After boot, PIO[1] is configurable as a digital PIO.

SYS_CTRL pin

SYS_CTRL is an input pin that acts as a power-on signal for the internal regulators. Use it as an input (virtual PIO[0]-available using software) or as a multifunction button. From the OFF state, SYS_CTRL must be asserted for >20 ms to start power up. SYS_CTRL is VBAT tolerant (4.8 V max), and typically connected using a button to VBAT. SYS_CTRL has no internal pull resistor and requires an external pull-down if left undriven. Use software to logically disconnect SYS_CTRL from the power-on signal for internal regulators. For example, when booted, the software takes control.

LED

  • QCC5181 WLCSP has LED pads and controllers.

LED pads

  • Table 8-2 lists QCC5181 WLCSP LED pad operating modes.
  • Table 8-2 QCC5181 WLCSP LED pad operating modes.

Harman-International-QCC5181-Bluetooth-Module-FIG-1
\(4\) NOTE: LED pins might be driven to ground level for up to 300μs within 50 ms of the chip powering up from off- stage.

LED controllers

  • QCC5181 WLCSP has six PWM-based LED controllers controlled by the Applications subsystem. Use them for driving either the LED pads (through virtual PIOs) or other available PIOs.

  • An application may configure the LED flash rate and ramp time using a dedicated API.

  • Once configured, the LED flash and ramp rate are fully hardware-controlled within the LED/PWM module. It is possible to synchronize any number of the LED drivers together. Use the flash/ramp rate configuration to generate
    color change sequences on RGB LEDs.

  • LED outputs can operate in the Deep Sleep state, but not in the Dormant state. Table 8-3 lists the LED controller pattern for QCC5181 WLCSP. Each PWM block can make use of the PIOs and LED pads (virtual PIOs).

Table 8-3 LED controller pattern

Harman-International-QCC5181-Bluetooth-Module-FIG-1
\(5\)

  • NOTE: The configuration of the PWM controller is the same whether it drives a PIO or LED pad.
  • If an OEM assigns other functions, not all PIOs may be available for use with the PWM generator.
  • Table 8-4 shows how each LED_PWM maps to a specific virtual PIO and LED_PAD on QCC5181 WLCSP.

Boot Manager

Figure 9-1 shows the Boot Manager.

The Boot Manager:

  • Performs all low-level housekeeping functions
  • Manages chip boot
  • Manages the lowest level stages of Deep Sleep and Dormant state entry/exit

OTP memory

  • QCC5181 WLCSP contains one-time programmable memory areas, used to hold a customer programmable security key.

System Manager

Figure 10-1 shows the System Manager.

Harman-International-QCC5181-Bluetooth-Module-FIG-1
\(8\) The System Manager:

  • Executes from ROM
  • Controls the allocation of the resources in the system
  • Coordinates firmware operation using message-passing and interaction with the other subsystems
  • Chip-level sleep modes are coordinated by the System Manager. Each subsystem indicates to the System Manager that they are asleep. The System Manager can individually disable clocks and/or power to subsystems in turn to minimize device power.

System timer

The System Manager maintains a 1 MHz system timer, which is distributed to the subsystems in the hardware using the transaction bus. The system time has 20 ppm, 250 ppm, and 20% modes to optimize current in low-power states.

Charging system

Lion charger overview and configurations

  • The QCC5181 WLCSP integrated Li-ion charger is designed to support single Li-ion cells with a wide range of cell capacities and variable VFLOAT voltages.

It has two circuit configurations with different charge current capabilities:

  • Internal configuration: Supports charge rates of 2 mA to 200 mA with no additional external components required.
  • External configuration: Supports fast charge rates of 200 mA to 1800 mA with the addition of one PNP pass device and external resistor. Lower trickle and pre-charge charge currents are still available in external configurations. Operating configuration is set in firmware using CHARGER_ENABLE_HIGH_CURRENT_EXTERNAL_MODE.

Charger connections

Internal configuration connections

Harman-International-QCC5181-Bluetooth-Module-FIG-1
\(10\) Figure 11-2 shows that in internal configuration, connect the VCHG_SENSE pin to VCHG and leave CHG_EXT unconnected. The charge current passes through QCC5181 WLCSP internally in all charging phases. Charge current enters through the VCHG pin, which should be locally decoupled with a 2.2 μF ceramic capacitor. The charger output current exits via the VBAT pin to the battery. The VBAT_SENSE pin is used to sense the voltage on the battery and must be routed as a Kelvin connection (separately) to the battery connector to avoid IR drop in the battery PCB traces from affecting the charging process, which can lead to early termination.
