BMD-100 Module for Bluetooth 4.1 LE
The BLUMOD BMD-100 is a Bluetooth Smart master/slave network
processor module targeted for low-power sensors and accessories
using the ultralow power STMicroelectronics BlueNRG-MS chipset.
It integrates features required for a Bluetooth Smart application,
including Bluetooth radio, software stack, and GATT/ATT-based
access. The external host application processor, where the
application resides, connects using SPI20. This allows the best
microcontroller for the application to be chosen and C based
Bluetooth Low Energy profiles are available for compiling into your
application.
The module can be powered directly from a standard 3V coin cell
battery or a pair of AAA batteries with a maximum input current of
only 15 mA at the highest output power. On-module flash memory
allows in the field Bluetooth low energy stack upgrades.
