The Rigado BMD-100 is a Bluetooth Smart master/slave/multi-role network processor module targeted for low-power sensors and accessories using the ultra-low-power BlueNRG chipset from STMicro. It integrates features required for a Bluetooth Smart application, including Bluetooth radio, software stack, and GATT/ATT-based access. The external host application processor, where the application resides, connects using SPI. This allows the best microcontroller for the application to be chosen and C-based Bluetooth low energy profiles are available for compiling into your application. An on-module, non-volatile Flash memory allows in-field Bluetooth low energy stack upgrade.

Features

• Bluetooth specification v4.1 compliant central and peripheral; simultaneous multi-role
• Embedded Bluetooth low energy protocol stack: GAP, GATT, SM, L2CAP, LL, RF-PHY
• Ultra-low power consumption and excellent RF link budget (96 dB)
• Planned Bluetooth qualification, FCC and IC certifications, and CE compliance
