3-70 Theory of Operation: Bluetooth
The host processor operates from a 3.3V LDO regulator (U2402). The 1.85V regulator enables the
3.3V LDO regulator output. The LF receiver IC is powered from a 3.3V LDO regulator (U2402).
Figure 3-54 is a partial current tree showing the flow of current from the battery to the Bluetooth-
related major components sourced by the 3.6V switching regulator on the VOCON.

3.5.2 Bluetooth Clocks
The Bluetooth IC requires a 26 MHz TCXO (Y2204, TCXO_CLK) for the core and a 32.768 kHz
(U6101 pin E2 on vocon, RTC_CLK) slow clock for the USART. This is the same clock used for the
GPS portion of the BT/GPS combination IC.
The host processor IC requires a 12 MHz crystal oscillator (Y2475) clock. The LF receiver IC
requires a 32.768 kHz (U6101 pin E2 on vocon, RTC_CLK) clock.
