The Ezurio BTM402 BISM II module from TDC is a fully qualified Bluetooth version 2.0 solution with a range of up to 1km, that gives developers a drop-in communications solution requiring minimal integration and no type approval.
According to TDC, Bluetooth devices normally have a range of just 10m, rising to 300m for high-performance modules.
The new Ezurio module should allow many new applications to benefit from the use of this stable and well-recognised standard.
Developed specifically for battery-powered applications, the Ezurio module from TDC supports low-power modes, including a sniff mode where consumption is just 2.5mA.
In full operation, the module draws 130mA from a 3.6 - 5V DC source.
Its size of just 25 x 35 x 8mm further facilitates implementation in portable systems.
Key features of the BTM402 include generous I/O provision for connection to other system resources.
These include nine general-purpose I/O ports, two 8bit analogue input lines and three PCM audio channels.
The module is pin and format-compatible with Ezurio 802.11 WLAN modules, allowing developers to implement Bluetooth and Wi-Fi versions of a product using the same board.
The Ezurio BTM402 BISM II PA Bluetooth Serial Module is a fully integrated and qualified Class 1 Bluetooth solution with RF, baseband, antenna and protocol stack.
The module incorporates the CSR BlueCore 04 chipset.
