The BlueCore 5 Media is one of CSR’s latest versions of the popular BlueCore series that integrates additional functionality over previous products. First and foremost, the BlueCore 5 is compatible with version 2.1 of the Bluetooth standard. It operates at the 2.4GHz bandwidth and is backward compliant with the Bluetooth V2.0 + enhanced data rate (EDR) standard. The additional functionality included in the chip expands the capabilities of the device and reduce the bill of materials for systems. The major difference between the BlueCore ROM and Media versions are the inclusion of a CODEC and DSP for increased functionality.
