BMD-200 Module for Bluetooth 4.2 LE
The
BMD-200
from Rigado is a powerful, highly flexible
Bluetooth
Smart module based on the nRF51822 SoC from Nordic
Semiconductor. With an ARM® Cortex™ M0 CPU, embedded
2.4GHz transceiver, and on-module chip antenna, the
BMD-200
provides a complete RF solution with no additional RF design,
allowing faster time to market. The
BMD-200
provides full use of
the nRF51822’s on-chip peripherals, allowing for a wide range of
applications without the need for an external host
microcontroller; simplifying designs and reducing BOM costs.
With an internal DC-DC converter and a voltage supply range of
1.8V to 3.6V, the
BMD-200
can be powered directly from a coin
cell or two AAA batteries with ultra-low power consumption.
