New Bluetooth 5.0 Module Features Faster Boot Time and Small Package Size
Panasonic Industry has launched the low-power PAN1740A, a Bluetooth® 5.0 wireless connectivity module, and the successor to the PAN1740. The new PAN1740A Bluetooth Low Energy module offers a faster boot time, and now supports up to eight connections to give the user greater flexibility to implement more advanced applications.
The PAN1740A is a Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity system-on-chip: it includes a Bluetooth 5.0 transceiver, Arm® Cortex®-M0 microcontroller core, Bluetooth protocol software and associated components, all housed in a compact 9.0mm x 9.5mm x 1.8mm encapsulated package. The module can be used as a stand-alone application processor, or as a data pump in hosted systems which have a discrete microcontroller.
In developing the PAN1740A, Panasonic has made sure to serve the specific demands of applications which can take advantage of the Bluetooth Low Energy features in the latest Bluetooth 5.0 specifications. For instance, the module is ideal for use in remote control units which require support for voice commands, and for motion and gesture recognition.
In addition, industrial IoT devices such as connected sensors and human-machine interfaces benefit from the PAN1740A’s faster boot time. Its low power consumption is useful for smart home and building automation devices such as lighting systems, meters, remote controls, trackers and smart home nodes.
The Bluetooth Low Energy firmware supplied with the PAN1740A includes the L2CAP service layer protocols, Security Manager (SM), Attribute Protocol (ATT), the Generic Attribute Profile (GATT) and the Generic Access Profile (GAP). All profiles published by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group as well as custom profiles are supported.
