The KT6368A chip is a pure data chip that supports Bluetooth dual mode and complies with Bluetooth 5.1. The highlights of the chip are its ultra-small size, extremely competitive price, and straightforward passthrough and UART AT control functionalities. 

 

Chinese Name: KT148A Sound Chip

Manufacturer: Shenzhen Qingyue Electronics Co., Ltd.

I. Hardware Description

Details

Parameter Specifications

UART Interface

Standard UART interface with TTL level，Baud rate is configurable，A level converter (e.g., CH340G—USB to TTL) is required when connecting to a PC.

Input Voltage

Recommended voltage: 3.3V (operating range: 2.2V–3.4V).

Rated Current

Chip startup current: 20mA.Enters low-power mode immediately after startup,  alternating between 20µA (broadcasting) and 4mA (wake-up).After a successful connection, the current remains constant at 4mA.

Low Power Consumption Current

The chip calculates average current because it continuously alternates between low-power mode and wake-up mode internally.

Operating Temperature

Range: -40°C to 80°C.

Humidity

Range: 5% to 95%.

Main Chip Model

KT6368A [SOP8][shipped in tubes],KT6328A [SOP8][shipped in tubes]


II. Description of Chip Power Consumption

Divided into two versions: KT6368A and KT6328A.

(1) The KT6368A version does not support low power consumption and is a dual-mode version. It consumes 15mA at startup and stabilizes at around 6mA afterward.

(2) The KT6328A version is a low-power version that supports only BLE.

(3) The hardware of these two chip versions is identical.


 III. Description of Chip Testing

Step

Instructions

Step 1

Set up the peripheral circuit for the chip and supply it with 3.3V power. For the Bluetooth antenna, simply solder a wire in place.

Step 2

Check if Pin 2 of the chip outputs a high level for 1 second upon power-on. Connect an indicator light to observe this.

Step 3

Connect to a computer using a serial port assistant tool. Verify if the chip’s TX pin returns data at a baud rate of 115200.

Step 4

Create your actual board and debug it with the MCU.

 

IV. Pin Description

No.

Layout Considerations

UART Considerations

1. The internal IO voltage of our chip is 3.3V.

2. When connecting to an external MCU, add series resistors (approximately 100 ohms) to the RX and TX lines. If the MCU’s IO level exceeds 3.3V, increase the resistor value to 1K.

3. Pin 8 of the chip is the TX pin of the KT6368A, which connects to the RX pin of the MCU. Pin 7 is the RX pin of the chip, which connects to the TX pin of the MCU.

Power Supply Considerations

The maximum supply voltage for the chip is 3.4V.

Pin 2 Considerations

Pin 2 is the connection status pin. It outputs a high level when connected successfully and remains in a high-impedance state when disconnected. During debugging, it is recommended to connect an indicator light or route it to an external MCU. Ensure a 10K pull-down resistor is connected to ground.

Detailed Descriptions

1. Strictly adhere to the recommended supply voltage. There are no significant requirements for the power supply design.

2. For the Bluetooth antenna, follow the provided footprint. The technology is mature, and the communication distance typically exceeds 15 meters.

3. Test points must be reserved for Pins 7 and 8, as they serve as the upgrade interface. This is crucial in case an upgrade is needed.

KT148A Voice Chip Issue: Difficult to Play with Code Sending - Normal Playback After Grounding Pin 4, What’s the Reason?

图片
Problem Description: Hello, we’ve encountered an issue and would appreciate your support: With the KT148A chip, after powering on, sending the code rarely triggers playback. However, if we use tweezers to briefly short Pin 4 (PB0) to ground and then send the code again, playback works normally. What could be causing this? Based on the observed behavior, it’s highly likely an issue with the timing of one-wire communication,  particularly with the start signal, which may be too short.  Let’s analyze this in detail and review the KT148A schematic as follows: 1. Pin 4 (PB0) of the Chip: PB0 is a test pin with the default factory function of triggering wake-up and playback when grounded. 2. Customer Description: When the customer uses tweezers to short PB0 (Pin 4) to ground, it follows this principle. The shorting action actually performs two operations: Action 1: The KT148A detects a falling edge signal, wakes up, exits low-power mode, and enters full-speed operation. Action 2: Th...

KT1025A Dual-Mode Bluetooth Audio Chip Layout Description and Design Precautions

图片
  1. Brief Overview 1. First, please refer to the provided BT201 test DEMO module as the standard. 2. If using the chip independently without testing the BT201 module and directly proceeding to layout, background noise is highly likely if experience is limited. Therefore, always compare with the manufacturer’s test board first. 3. The BT201 solution does not include FM functionality. Please note this. The FM circuit should be left floating without hesitation 2. Precautions 1. Background noise or interference is common in Bluetooth audio products. Do not be careless during layout. 2. If you have not worked on audio products before, study online resources thoroughly. Assuming things casually will naturally lead to noise issues. 3. The core principle is to separate analog ground and digital ground. If unclear, consult an experienced engineer. 4. Ensure a clean power supply. Use an LDO whenever possible instead of a DC-DC converter. 5. Bluetooth operates at high-frequency RF and radiat...
