3 Electrical characteristics
4 Functional description
The input pin LDO28EN is used by the host controller to turn on and off the BAT regulator. The host can
control this pin to enable the whole MT6622 system. The enable voltage (VIH) of pin LDO28EN is 1.4V. Please
be sure that the control signal meets this requirement in order for the system to operate correctly.
The built-in LV linear regulators for RF circuitry are cap-less regulators. It provides high PSRR for achieving
excellent RF performance. The power controls for these RF LDOs are maintained internally by digital
controller for optimized power consumption.
The DIG (digital) LV regulator requires an external capacitor. When the 1.2V power is supplied from the
regulator on VDD12 pins, an internal POR (Power-On Reset) will be generated to start the system. An
external system reset to start the system is optional according to the application requirement.
MT6622 has two options for the SYSTEM clock source input. It can either be a one-pin crystal input, or it can
come from external clock source.
MT6622 supports most widely used clock frequencies in the mobile handset platform. They include 13, 16,
19.2, 26, and 32MHz.
To save system BOM cost, the SYSTEM clock can be shared with the clocks available on the mobile handset
platform. For example, the reference clock used for mobile base-band chipset can also be used as the
MT6622 source clock. In this configuration, an output pin SRCLKENA from MT6622 is used as the enable
signal for the external clock source. The generation of the signal is coupled to the internal sleep mode control
function.
The input frequencies can be selected by GPIO trapping or detected automatically based on the availability of
externally supplied 32.768KHz clock.
The LPO clock can come from the host chip in both QFN40 and WLCSP package.
For each of these major operating modes, the individual subsystems may be under different power states as
the table below shows:

Power-on Init Active Power-down
System Deep Sleep Sleep Power-down

Table 9 Operating Modes
The power states for each subsystem are further described below:
Power-off mode: Power supply is not enabled or LDO28EN is low. The entire chip is powered off.
Power-on Init mode: When MT6622 is powered on, it first enters the init mode. In this mode, an internal
digital PLL is turned on to supply the clock for baseband circuit.
Deep Sleep mode: No link needs to be maintained, the baseband controller can enter sleep mode in order to
turn off most of the Bluetooth related circuit in MT6622. In deep sleep mode, the system could be awakened
by a external wake up signal from the host controller. During always sleep mode, only the LPO clock
reference is active and the Bluetooth baseband controller doesn’t maintain any link at all.
Platform Active mode: It is defined as the state where the platform system is in operation.
Platform Idle mode: When firmware no longer has tasks pending to be completed, then the MCU and the
relevant buses can be put under power down mode to save current consumption. Under this mode, the
platform peripheral system are still in operation and can therefore still receive traffic from the host.
BT Power-down mode: It is defined as the state where BT related RF circuitries and LDO are turned off, and
Bluetooth digital circuitries have no clock supply.
BT Active mode: It is defined as the state that RF circuit is enabled to transmit or receive data. Since
Bluetooth is a TDD (Time-Division Duplex) system, only TX or RX circuit will be turned on at the same time.
BT Idle mode: When the firmware finishes its task and starts to wait for next hardware trigger, it forces the
hardware to enter this mode. In this mode. Part of the logic, like MCU, will enter a low power mode. RF circuit
might still be operating in the mode.
BT Sleep mode: For some Bluetooth scenarios, where only the link needs to be maintained, the baseband
controller can enter sleep mode in order to turn off most of the Bluetooth related circuit in MT6622. In sleep
mode, the system could be awakened after sleep time expired or by a external wake up signal from the host
controller. During sleep mode, only the LPO clock reference is active and the Bluetooth baseband controller
maintains the correct link timing based on this reference signal.

The Bluetooth baseband subsystem contains a baseband processor which supports timing control, bit-stream
processing, encryption, frequency hopping, and modulation/demodulation. It also contains the audio codec,
Wi-Fi coexistence interface controller, and a sleep mode controller.
For TX path, the baseband transmit data is digitally modulated in the baseband processor, then up-converted
to 2.4GHz RF channels through DA converter, filter, IQ up-converter, and the power amplifier. The power
amplifier is capable of transmitting 10dBm power for class-1.5 operation.
For RX path, MT6622 is a low IF receiver architecture. An image-reject mixer down-converts the RF signal to
the IF with the LO from the synthesizer, which could support different clock frequencies as the reference clock
as described in section 4.2. The mixer output is then converted to digital signal, down-converted to baseband
for demodulation. A fast AGC enables the effective discovery of device within the dynamic range of the
receiver.
MT6622 features self calibration schemes to compensate the process and temperature variation to maintain
high performance. Those calibrations are performed automatically right after system boot-up.
5 Interface Descriptions
The electrical timing characteristic for the UART interface is illustrated below.
In addition to the standard baud rates, high speed baud rates are also supported in order to meet the higher
bandwidth requirements for EDR data transfers. The default supported baud rates by MT6622 are listed in
the table below.
1200 0.00%
2400 0.00%
4800 0.00%
9600 0.01%
19200 -0.02%
38400 0.04%
57600 -0.08%
115200 -0.08%
230400 -0.08%
460800 0.64%
921600 -0.79%
3200000 0.00%
Other baud rates that are not shown in the default baud rate table above may also be supported through
UART register configuration. However, system designers must take care in making sure that the total baud
rate frequency mismatch between the 2 sides, along with the electrical signal timings, can still meet the 2%
error margin required in order to sustain the rate of operation.
MT6622 incorporates the Pulse Coded Modulation (PCM) interface, which can be used for Bluetooth voice
data transfers between the MT6622 system and the host system. Using this interface, the voice signals can
be transferred between the 2 devices continuously without mcu intervention for maximum power savings.
The MT6622 PCM interface supports most commonly used interface formats through user configuration. The
supported formats are listed below.
128KHz/256KHz/512KHz/1024KHz/2048KHz (Linear)
PCM Slave Mode:
64KHz ~ 2400KHz (A-law/U-aw)
128KHz ~ 2400KHz (Linear)
PCM Sync Format Short sync or long sync
Data Ordering MSB or LSB first (see configuration matrix for limitation)
Zero Padding Yes (see configuration matrix for limitation)
Sign extension Yes (see configuration matrix for limitation)
Based on the wide range of interface options, the supported configuration matrix is summarized as follows.
(Note that sign extension and zero padding are only relevant when the linear input bits are less than 16bits.)
16b linear CVSD + MSB First + short sync + 256 KHz PCM clock
When acting as a PCM Slave, both PCM and PCM clock signals are generated by the external PCM master.
When acting as a PCM Master, both PCM sync and PCM clock are generated by MT6622.
Sign extension is only meaningful when the linear PCM length is less than 16bits, and it only applies to MSB
first data formats.
Zero padding is only meaningful when the linear PCM length is less than 16bits, and it only applies to LSB
first data formats.
The interface signal in the diagram above maps to the pad names as follows:
BT2WIFI GPIO4 Two wire: Output Request from Bluetooth to other 2.4GHz
One wire: Inout radio
WIFI2BT GPIO5 Input Grant from other 2.4GHz radio to
Bluetooth
Table 17 PTA Interface Pad Name
For the widest range of compatibility, MT6622’s PTA interface supports 5 types of operating modes. Mode
1/2/3/4 selections are governed by the request pin configuration behavior. In addition, a proprietary 1-wire
interface mode is also supported for minimum pin requirement.
Tests are performed under the normal conditions defined in Bluetooth test specification with external band
pass filter. Typical specifications are with default register settings and under recommended operating
conditions. Min/Max specifications are for extreme operating voltage and temperature conditions, unless
otherwise stated.
