PAN1770 Series Bluetooth® Low Energy RF Module

Panasonic's Bluetooth 5.1 Low Energy RF Module is Equipped with an ARM Cortex®-M4F Microcontroller Based on the Nordic nRF52840 Chipset and can have an External Antenna Attachment via uFL

The PAN1770 Series Bluetooth 5.1 Low Energy RF Module based on the Nordic nRF52840 single-chip controller features a higher symbol rate of 2 Mbps using the high-speed LE 2M PHY, or a significantly longer range using the LE-coded PHY at 500 kb/s or 125 kb/s. The new channel selection algorithm (CSA#2) improves performance in high-interference environments. Furthermore, the new LE advertising extensions allow for more significant amounts of data in connectionless scenarios.

The PAN1770 Series provides an output power of up to 8 dBm, and the high sensitivity of the nRF52840, in combination with the LE-coded PHY, makes the module very attractive in applications where a long range is required. In addition, the ultra-low current consumption of the PAN1770 Series makes the module an ideal choice for battery-powered devices. With the Cortex®-M4F processor, 256 kB RAM, and the built-in 1 MB flash memory, the PAN1770 Series can easily be used in standalone mode, eliminating the need for an external processor saving complexity, space, and cost. The rich set of security features from the ARM TrustZone CryptoCell 310 security subsystem provides the necessary means for secure device operation in the IoT space. The PAN1770 Series also supports Type 2 Near Field Communication (NFC-A) for simplified pairing and payment solutions (external antenna required).
