BMD-300 Series
BLUMOD
Series
Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy Modules
Overview
Rigado’s BMD-300 Series is a powerful, highly flexible, ultra-low power
Bluetooth Smart module based on the nRF52832 SoC from Nordic
Semiconductor. With an ARM® Cortex™ M4F CPU, embedded 2.4GHz
multi-protocol transceiver, and an integrated antenna; the BMD-300
provides a complete RF solution allowing faster time-to-market with
reduced development costs. The BMD-301 adds antenna flexibility with a
U.FL connector. 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 provides class-leading power efficiency, enabling ultra-low power
sensitive applications. Carrying FCC, IC and CE certifications and Bluetooth
qualification, the BMD-300 Series is ready to implement right away.

Block Diagram
SoftDevices
The BMD-300 Series fully supports Nordic Semiconductor
RF protocol stacks known as SoftDevices. They integrate a
Bluetooth low energy controller and host, and provide a
full and flexible API for building Bluetooth low energy
System on Chip (SoC) solutions.
Secure Bootloader
Encrypted Over-The-Air (OTA) and UART firmware updates
add a layer of security to your application. The BMD-300
Series bootloader uses AES-128 encryption allowing for
secure updates of your application firmware, bootloader,
and SoftDevice.
BMDware
The BMD-300 Series comes standard with BMDware,
providing iBeacon and UART Bridge functions without
needing to program the module. Fully configurable over
BLE and the UART for end-user or factory provisioning.
Direct Test Mode (DTM) via UART is enabled to allow
production Bluetooth RF testing with no configuration.
