Overview

The ANNA-B412-00B is an ultra-compact Bluetooth v5.1 Low Energy module measuring only 6.5 x 6.5 mm. It is based on the Nordic nRF52833 SoC and features an Arm Cortex-M4 core with a Floating Point Unit (FPU), 512kB Flash, and 128kB RAM. This System-in-Package (SiP) module includes an integrated chip antenna and supports a wide supply voltage range from 1.7V to 3.6V.

Why Choose This Part

The module offers a superior sensitivity of -103dBm and high output power up to +8dBm for robust wireless links. Its integrated chip antenna and internal 32.768 kHz oscillator reduce external component count and PCB complexity. The internal u-connectXpress software simplifies integration by providing a high-level AT command interface for rapid development.

Applications

Industrial Sensor Nodes
Ideal for small-form-factor industrial monitoring where high reliability and Bluetooth 5 long-range capabilities are required.
Medical Wearables
Utilizes the ultra-small SiP footprint and low power consumption of 0.4uA in sleep mode for battery-powered health monitoring devices.
Asset Tracking
Supports Bluetooth direction finding (AoA/AoD) and high-throughput 2Mbps data rates for precise location services and logging.
