12.13 Connection Update Parameters

The connection update parameters represent the values used to update the settings of a Bluetooth Low Energy connection between two peer devices. The IS187x device uses these parameters in Auto Operation mode to request an update to the timings of an established Bluetooth Low Energy connection. The IS187x device tries to update the established connection with the settings specified; however, the central device controls if these parameters are used to modify the established connection. The IS187x IC chip only uses these parameters in Auto Operation mode. For more details on this connection update parameter request procedure and how the following parameters affect the connection, refer to the Bluetooth Core Specification (4.2), volume 6, part B, section 5.1.1.

In Manual Operation mode, the external host MCU uses specific commands to control or request an update of the parameters in an established connection. The parameters must be programmed to a value of 0xFF. Use the IS187x device in Manual Operation mode to avoid undefined device operation. If running in Auto Operation mode, not programming values within the valid ranges results in undefined device operation (see the following table).
