BK3431Q Datasheet

The BK3431Q chip is a highly integrated Bluetooth 4.2 low energy single mode device, with 2 Mbps data rate options. It integrates a high-performance RF transceiver, baseband, ARM9E core, rich feature peripheral units, programmable protocol, and profile to support Bluetooth LE application. The Flash program memory makes it suitable for customized applications.

General description

The BK3431Q is designed with an advanced technical process and integrated with switch DCDC regulator, that it has ultra-low power consumption and ultra-low leakage power. The embedded high-order interference suppression filter and fast automatic gain control logic make it work well in a high interference environment.

Pin information

Functional description

GPIO

The BK3431Q has many GPIO pins, which can be configured as either input or output. There are secondary functions available for GPIO pins and configurable by firmware.

At the beginning of the chip starts up, the chip will enter programming mode, JTAG mode, or normal according to the received command from Mode Selecting Pin.

Each GPIO pin can be the source to wake up MCU from shut downstate. In the shutdown state, any voltage level change on the pre-configured GPIO pin will trigger the wake-up procedure.

Timers

• 16bits timers

  There are six 16 bits PWM timers. The clock of PWM timers can be selected as 32 kHz clock or 16 MHz clocks by the register.

  There are two modes of PWM timers. One is timer mode and another is PWM mode. The timer mode can generate interrupt to MCU. The PWM mode can generate PWM waveform and output to GPIO pins to drive external devices such as LEDs. Four GPIO pins can be used to output the PWM waveform separately.

• 22bits timers

  There are four 22 bits timers, who run with a 16 MHz clock.

• Watchdog timer and RTC timer

  The watchdog timer and RTC timer run on the always-on power domain, whose clock source is 32 kHz clock.

  The 16 bits watchdog timer runs with a 4 kHz frequency that its period can be up to 16 seconds. After the watchdog timer is expired, it will reset the whole chip.

  The 32 bits RTC timer in the always-on power domain run with ROSC frequency that its period can be up to one day. After the RTC timer is expired, it will wake up the MCU.

ADC

A 10-bit generic ADC is integrated into BK3431Q. A total of three external channels and two internal channels can be selected for ADC transfer. It supports both single and continuous modes.

UART, I2C, and SPI

There are two set UARTs, one set I2C, and one set SPI interface, which supports both master and slave mode.

The UART baud rate can be up to 3.2 MHz, and the SPI clock speed can be up to 4 MHz。

True random number generator

By using device noise variation characteristic, it provides a one-bit true random number generator.
