Overview

The RN4020-V/RM120 is a fully certified Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) v4.1 module designed for low-power wireless data communication. It features an integrated trace antenna and a complete onboard Bluetooth stack, allowing designers to add wireless connectivity via simple ASCII UART commands.

Why Choose This Part

This module simplifies RF design with its integrated trace antenna and pre-certified v4.1 stack, reducing time-to-market. It offers flexible operation by supporting both Peripheral and Central roles and consumes only 0.9uA in deep shutdown mode.

Applications

Medical Wearables
Ideal for battery-operated devices like glucose meters and heart rate monitors due to its 5uA sleep current.
Industrial IoT Sensors
Used as a sensor tag for environmental monitoring where data is transmitted to a central gateway.
Proximity Beacons
Supports beacon applications for advertising and location-based services in retail or asset tracking.
Embedded Remote Control
Provides a wireless interface for consumer electronics and home automation control units.
