Fanstel BT832F

BluNor BT832 Series is a powerful, highly flexible, ultra low power Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) modules using Nordic nRF52 SoC. With an ARM CortexTM M4(F) MCU, up to 512KB flash, 64KB RAM, embedded 2.4GHz multi - protocol transceiver, and an integrated PCB trace antenna. It allows faster time to market with reduced development cost. For applications needing limited number of IO pins, prototyping and production are easier using 16 castellated pins. Additional 24 LGA (Land Grid Array) pins provide full access to 32 GPIOs of nRF52832. Bluetooth 5 specifications allow reducing bandwidth to achieve up to 4X range while maintaining similar power requirements. Line of sight range between two BT832Fs is measured at 220 to 330 meters at 1Mbps data rate. Average of 12 measurements (rotate one antenna by 30° each time) is 270 meters. BT832Fs achieve longer range by superior antenna circuit and without an external power amplifier, not by reducing bandwidth.

BluNor BT832 is powerful, highly flexible, ultra low power Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) modules using Nordic nRF52 SoCs. With an ARM CortexTM M4F MCU, available 512KB flash, 64KB RAM, embedded 2.4GHz multiprotocol transceiver, and an integrated antenna, it allows faster time to market with reduced development cost. The following is a block diagram of BT832. Antenna circuit and main clock are integrated. All 32 GPIOs of nRF52832 can be accessed from main board. For lower power consumption at idle state, a 32.768 kHz crystal is added on the host board. Connection to an external NFC (Near Field Communication) antenna is provided. BlurNor BT832A, BT832F, and BT832AF are sister module of BT832. The foot print for for the main body of module is identical. The difference are in PCB trace antenna area and memory sizes.
