Panasonic’s comprehensive, embedded dual mode Bluetooth 4.2 RF module is an advanced, highly integrated dual mode Bluetooth 4.2 RF module that delivers high-speed operation with easy integration to current design. The PAN1026A series comes with an embedded Bluetooth SIG certified stack supporting Bluetooth basic rate SPP profile along with a comprehensive and extended BLE GATT profiles and services. The PAN1026A series' all-inclusive design, providing all needed clocks, EEPROM, and integrated antenna, significantly reduces external component count and power consumption in applications requiring dual support for both basic rate along with BLE. The PAN1026A series is fully backward compatible to its predecessor, the PAN1026. The PAN1026A has additional features such as LE Extended MTU, LE Secure Connections and enhanced BLE GATT.

Prototyping and testing are accelerated by utilizing the EVAL_PAN1026A (part number:  ENW89837AUKF), two PAN1026A USB evaluation sticks packed in a small case. The sticks have a USB to UART converter and allow access to the module pins. It is designed to be used with easy SPP/BLE. Also available is the EVAL_PAN1026AEMK (part number: ENW89837AWKF). This experimenter kit is used to develop BT Low Energy applications with the PAN1026C.
