2 OVERVIEW
The Inventek ISM4443X single-chip quad-radio device provides the highest level of
integration for a wireless system, with integrated dual band (2.4 GHz/ 5 GHz) IEEE
802.11 a/b/g and single-stream IEEE 802.11n MAC/baseband/radio, Bluetooth 4.0. The
ISM43341 also integrates a low power NFC controller. The ISM4443X includes
integrated power amplifiers, LNAs and T/R switches for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WLAN
bands, greatly reducing the external part count, PCB footprint, and cost of the solution.
It provides a small form-factor solution with minimal external components to drive down cost
for mass volumes and allows for handheld device flexibility in size, form and function.
Comprehensive power management circuitry and software ensure the system can meet the
needs of high mobile devices that require minimal power consumption and reliable
operations.
The ISM4443X is compatible with the Bluetooth Low Energy operating mode, which
provides a dramatic reduction in the power consumption of the Bluetooth radio and
baseband. The primary application for this mode is to provide support for low data rate
devices, such as sensors and remote controls.
The ISM4443X implements the highly sophisticated Enhanced Collaborative
Coexistence algorithms and hardware mechanisms, allowing for an extremely
collaborative Bluetooth coexistence scheme along with coexistence support for external
radios such as cellular and LTE, GPS, and Ultra-Wideband. For the WLAN section, host
interface is a SDIO v2.0 interface. An independent, high-speed UART is provided for
the Bluetooth host interface. Separate independent interfaces (I²C-compatible, SPI and
UART) for NFC are also provided.

6 HOST INTERFACES
6.1 UART Interface
The ISM4443X shares a single UART for Bluetooth. The UART is a standard 4-wire
interface (RX, TX, RTS and CTS) with adjustable baud rates from 9600 bps to 4.0
Mbps. The interface features an automatic baud rate detection capability that returns a
baud rate selection. Alternatively, the baud rate may be selected through a vendorspecific UART HCI command.
The UART has a 1040-byte receive FIFO and a 1040-byte transmit FIFO to support
EDR. Access to the FIFO is conducted through the AHB interface through either DMA
or the CPU. The UART supports the Bluetooth 4.0 UART HCI specification: H4, a
custom Extended H4 and H5. The default baud rate is 115.2 Kbaud.
The UART supports the 3-wire H5 UART transport, as described in the Bluetooth
specification (“Three-wire UART Transport Layer”). Compared to H4, the H5 UART
transport reduces the number of signal lines required by eliminating the CTS and RTS
signals.
The ISM4443X UART can perform XON/XOFF flow control and includes hardware
support for the Serial Line input Protocol (SLIP). It can also perform wake-on activity.
For example, activity on the RX or CTS inputs can wake the chip from a sleet state.

Inventek Systems
ISM4334x Product Specification
Normally, the UART baud rate is set by a configuration record downloaded after device
reset, or by automatic baud rate detection, and the host does not need to adjust the
baud rate. Support for changing the baud rate during normal HCI UART operation is
included through a vendor-specific command that allows the host to adjust the contents
of the baud rate registers. The ISM4443X UARTs operate correctly with the host UART
as long as the combined baud rate error of the two devices is within ±2% (see Table
12).

6.2 NFC Host Interfaces (ISM43341 only)
The ISM43341 supports UART, I²C-compatible BSC, and SPI for the host interface physical
transport layer. The host interface type is selected upon power-up boot, depending upon
the state of the NFC_SPI_INT pin.
NFC_SPI_INT pulled low – The UART interface will be selected
NFC_SPI_INT pulled high – The I²C-compatible BSC slave interface will be selected
NFC_SPI_INT floating – The SPI interface will be selected.
After boot, the NFC_SPI_INT signal will function as the SPI interrupt output. During powerup book, the external host must leave this pin floating, as in the case of the tri-state or input
pin. The external host must also ignore interrupts from this signal for a period of 10
milliseconds after boot-up.
The NFC host interface pins are multiplexed onto shared signals as defined in Table 2.
