Panasonic — PAN1740A Series Bluetooth 5 Low Energy RF Module

Panasonic PAN1740A Series Bluetooth 5^® Low Energy RF Module

Next-generation, optimized Bluetooth^® 5 Low Energy RF Module

The Panasonic PAN1740A Series is a RF Module offering a reduced boot time and supporting up to eight (8) connections to allow greater flexibility to create more advanced applications. The PAN1740A is an optimized version of Panasonic's existing PAN1740 Series Module.

Featuring a fully integrated radio transceiver and baseband processor for Bluetooth^® 5.0 Low Energy, the PAN1740A Series can be used as a standalone application processor or as a data pump in hosted systems.

This radio-frequency module is also optimized for remote control units (RCU) requiring support for voice commands and motion/gesture recognition. Its integrated Audio Unit (AU) offers easy interface for MEMS microphones over PDM, external codecs over PCM/I2S and a Sample Rate Converter unit.

Firmware

The Bluetooth Low Energy firmware 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 SIG as well as custom profiles are supported. The transceiver interfaces directly to the antenna and is fully compliant with the Bluetooth 5.0 Standard.

The PAN1740A Series has dedicated hardware for the Link Layer implementation of Bluetooth Low Energy and interface controllers for enhanced connectivity capabilities.
