Overview

The BMD-330-A-R is a power-efficient Bluetooth 5.0 module based on the Nordic Semiconductor nRF52810 SoC. It features an ARM Cortex-M4F processor running at 64MHz, integrated trace antenna, and a built-in 32.768 kHz crystal to simplify low-power timing. This module is designed for cost-sensitive IoT applications that require high performance and low energy consumption in a compact 9.8mm x 14.0mm footprint.

Why Choose This Part

This module provides a turnkey solution with an integrated trace antenna and pre-calibrated LFXO crystal, reducing BOM count and design complexity. The Programmable Peripheral Interconnect (PPI) allows peripherals to interact without CPU intervention, significantly extending battery life in interrupt-driven systems.

Applications

Battery-Powered IoT Sensors
Ideal for remote environmental sensors due to its 0.3uA shutdown current and integrated DC-DC converter for high efficiency.
Medical Wearables
The small form factor and 128-bit AES hardware encryption make it suitable for secure, compact health monitoring devices.
Industrial Remote Controls
Utilizes the ARM Cortex-M4F and 192kB flash to handle complex control logic and Bluetooth v5.0 communication protocols.
Fitness Trackers
Integrated 24kB RAM and 2Mbps data rate support real-time activity tracking and fast synchronization with mobile devices.

Getting Started

Developers can use the Nordic nRF5 SDK or nRF Connect SDK with Segger Embedded Studio or VS Code. Hardware evaluation is typically performed using the EVK-BMD-330 development kit, which provides access to all 47 pins. Firmware can be updated wirelessly using the built-in Over-the-Air (OTA) update capability.
