1 Description
The SPBT3.0DP1 is an easy to use Bluetooth module, compliant with Bluetooth v3.0.
The module is among the smallest form factor available which provides a complete RF platform. The
SPBT3.0DP1 enables electronic devices with wireless connectivity, not requiring any RF experience or
expertise for integration into the final product. The SPBT3.0DP1 module, being a certified solution,
optimizes the time to market of the final applications.
The module is designed for maximum performance in a minimal space including fast speed UART and 14
general purpose I/O lines, and up to 800 kbps transmission speed with SPP service active, 250kbps with
iAP2 service active.
Optimized design allows the integration of a complete working Bluetooth modem, including antenna, in
the minimum possible size.
Deep Sleep Mode allows to reduce power consumption when a Bluetooth connection is not established.
The SPBT3.0DP1 is a surface mount PCB module that provides fully embedded, ready to use Bluetooth
wireless technology. The reprogrammable Flash memory contains embedded firmware for serial cable
replacement using the Bluetooth SPP profile. Embedded Bluetooth DATA PACKAGE (DP) firmware is a
friendly interface, which realizes a simple control for cable replacement, enabling communication with
most Bluetooth enabled devices, provided that the devices support the SPP profile. The SPBT3.0DP1,
supporting iAP2 profile, provides communication with Android, smartphone, and the newest Apple® iOS
Bluetooth enabled devices.
An Apple authentication IC is required to exchange data with an Apple device or access an Apple device
application. The DP FW includes the Bluetooth iAP2 profile capable of recognizing the Apple
authentication chip.
Customers using the Apple authentication IC must register as developers to become an Apple certified
MFI member. License fees may apply, for additional information visit:

Certified MFI developers developing electronic accessories that connect to the iPod®, iPhone®, and iPad®
gain access to technical documentation, hardware components, technical support and certification logos.
Customized firmware for peripheral device interaction, power optimization, security, and other
proprietary features may be supported and can be ordered pre-loaded and configured.
