Bluetooth® is a networking standard designed to meet IEEE 802.15.1 and administered by the Bluetooth® Special Interest Group (BT SIG). Conceived as a 2.4GHz wireless standard to replace wired headsets in 1999, Bluetooth® has grown in both scope and capability. By far it is the most prolific wireless standard today adding over 1,000,000 nodes to the network every day, in cell phones, PC’s, consumer and medical electronics applications and many more.
Since its release Bluetooth® Dual Mode and Bluetooth® Low Energy enabled products are flooding the market. Applications are likely to be in the smartphone accessories, sport and leisure equipment and medical and health care area.
With short project deadlines, a module design enables you to be the first in the market, quickly. Panasonic evaluations kits provide an easy to use and low-cost platform for evaluating and prototyping your design.
The PAN1780 Nordic Semiconductor based Bluetooth Low Energy Module offers with its ARM® Cortex®-M4F a 1MB Flash and a 256kb RAM high design flexibility. It can easily be used in standalone mode, thereby eliminating the need for an external processor, saving complexity, space and cost.
The new Bluetooth 5.0 features enable a higher symbol rate of 2 Mbps using the high-speed 2M PHY or a significantly longer range using the LE coded PHY at 500 kb/s or 125 kb/s. The new channel selection algorithm improves the performance in environments which are busy at 2.4 GHz.
The PAN1740 Dialog based Bluetooth Low Energy module offers a small form factor of 9.0 x 9.5 x 1.8 [mm]. The module is designed to connect small applications to each other or your Smartphone.
The successor of the PAN1026 comes now with Bluetooth Low Energy v4.2.
The PAN1326C2 offers increased BLE data transfer rates by factor 2,5 than previous Bluetooth low energy solutions. The module is Bluetooth-4.2-compliant and benefits from a tiny footprint of only 85.5mm² (9.0mm x 9.5mm x 1.8mm (width x length x height).
