PAN1761 Embedded Bluetooth® RF Module

Introducing Panasonic’s embedded BLE and NFC combination RF module, the PAN1761 series. PAN1761 supports both BLE 4.1 and NFC (NFC Forum Type 3 Tag) based on leading edge Toshiba SOC. The unique configuration of the PAN1761 allows NFC to wake up BLE from standby using an NFC field and automatically initiate a Bluetooth connection. Highly secure Bluetooth connections are created using NFC to exchange link keys.

BLE applications with extended battery life are possible as a result of zero power consumption in standby mode. A remote device may independently create a wake up signal with neither host control nor local battery consumption. Embedded microcontroller access and 32 KB EEPROM is available for autonomous stand-alone operation.
