BMD-300 Series Module for Bluetooth 5 LE
The
BMD-300 Series
from Rigado is a line of powerful, highly flexible, ultra-low power
Bluetooth
Smart modules based on the nRF52832 SoC from Nordic Semiconductor. With
an
ARM® Cortex™
M4F CPU, embedded 2.4GHz transceiver, and integrated antenna, they
provide a complete RF solution with no additional RF design, allowing faster time to
market.
Providing full use of the nRF52832’s capabilities and peripherals, the
BMD-300
Series
can power the most demanding applications, all while simplifying designs and
reducing BOM costs. With an internal DC-DC converter and intelligent power control, the
BMD-300 Series
provide class-leading power efficiency, enabling ultra-low power sensitive
applications. Regulatory pre-approvals reduce the burden to enter the market, and the
included
BMD Software Suite
provides access to great features like a secure BLE & UART
bootloader, iOS & Android Bluetooth libraries, and more. Available in three variants:
internal antenna (BMD-300), U.FL connector (BMD-301), and ultra-miniature (BMD-350).
