MCHPBM71BLES1FC2-0B04AA
Overview
The BM71BLES1FC2-0B04AA is a compact, shielded Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module designed for easy integration into low-power IoT designs. It features an integrated chip antenna and a complete onboard Bluetooth stack, allowing developers to add wireless connectivity via a simple UART interface. Operating down to 1.9V with a peak TX current of only 3.3mA, it is highly optimized for battery-powered applications.
Why Choose This Part
This module simplifies RF design by providing a pre-certified, shielded solution with an integrated antenna. It offers a 12-bit ADC and 9 GPIOs for direct sensor interfacing, reducing the need for an external microcontroller in simple peripheral designs. The exceptionally low power consumption in both active and sleep modes extends the life of small coin-cell batteries.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Development is supported by the BM71-XPRO evaluation board, which interfaces directly with the Atmel Studio and MPLAB X IDEs. Use the Microchip Bluetooth SDK to configure the module via UART commands or to develop custom private GATT services. The onboard Flash allows for field firmware updates (OTA) to keep devices current with the latest BLE specifications.
