DESCRIPTION
The DBB03 is a baseband ASIC for the "Dolphin" reference design. The firmware for the Dolphin reference
design resides in the ROM-based program memory of the DBB03, and thus can be readily interfaced with a
TRF6903 single-chip RF Transceiver to generate a frequency hopping wireless UART "Dolphin" reference design
chipset. This is illustrated in Figure 1.
The DBB03 baseband ASIC in addition to being a RF baseband processor is also responsible for
communications with an external host/system micrcontroller. In a typical end user application, the Dolphin chipset
will be connected up to an external host/system microcontroller that will send configuration messages, RF
transmission messages into the Dolphin chipset, or receive status, RF messages received from the Dolphin
chipset.
Any catalog low-cost host/system microcontroller can be interfaced to the Dolphin chipset as long as the Dolphin
host interface protocol for communication is adhered to. (See Application Note Dolphin - Frequency Hopping
Spread Spectrum Chipset Host Interface Protocol TI Literature SWRA043) Texas Instruments recommends its
ultra-low power MSP430 series of microcontrollers to interface with Dolphin.
The interface between the DBB03 baseband ASIC and an external host/system microcontroller is a simple UART
consisting of RX and TX data lines. (See Application Note
Interfacing Dolphin to an External System
Microcontroller,
TI Literature SWRA045).
