Panasonic introduces the PAN1321i series Bluetooth RF module compatible with Apple devices such as the iPod®, iPhone® and iPad®. The PAN1321i series interfaces with the Apple authentication coprocessor and supports iPod Accessory Protocol (iAP) to enable Bluetooth serial port data communication with Bluetooth enabled Apple devices. The PAN1321i series wireless Bluetooth module also includes compatibility with Android, smart phones and most Bluetooth enabled devices.

This series of Bluetooth RF modules is a highly integrated, cost engineered solution for Bluetooth applications using Serial Port Profile (SPP). The PAN1321i series is a comprehensive Bluetooth system solution, with an integrated controller, GPIO, AT Command Set Application Program Interface (API), antenna, Bluetooth transceiver, SPP Profile, FCC and IC certifications and Bluetooth end product listing. Using Panasonic’s exclusive “tiny footprint” technology, incorporating a Surface Mount Device (SMD) Land Grid Array (LGA) package, the PAN1321i Series is just 15.6 mm by 8.7 mm! A fully shielded case protects the transceiver from nearby RF emitters, simplifying PCB layout. The PAN1321i is qualified to the Bluetooth 2.0 standard.

The PAN1321i is ideal for all applications migrating from USB or RS232 to wireless. The integrated Bluetooth SPP is easily accessed using a simple AT command set. Evaluation and development kits are available.
