Panasonic’s New Bluetooth 5.3 Low Energy RF Module Based On The Nordic nRF52840 Single-Chip Controller With Integrated BlueRadios nBlue™ Bluetooth AT.s LE Command Set

Introducing Panasonic’s NEW PAN1780-AT Series RF Module! The PAN1780-AT Series RF Module is Panasonic’s Bluetooth 5 Low Energy (LE) RF Module based on the Nordic nRF52840 single-chip controller with integrated BlueRadios nBlue™ Bluetooth AT.s LE Command Set.

For information on the BlueRadios nBlue Bluetooth AT.s LE Command Set please contact your local Panasonic Sales Representative. Bluetooth 5.3 features additionally 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 125 kb/s. The new channel selection algorithm (CSA#2) improves the performance in high-interference environments. Furthermore, the new LE advertising extensions allow for much larger amounts of data to be broadcast in connectionless scenarios.  

An output power of up to 8 dBm and the high sensitivity of the nRF52840 in combination with the LE Coded PHY make the NEW PAN1780-AT Series RF Module from Panasonic very attractive in applications where a long-range is required. In addition, the ultra-low current consumption of the NEW PAN1780-AT Series makes it an ideal choice for battery powered devices and also supports Type 2 Near Field Communication (NFC-A) for use in simplified pairing and payment solutions (external antenna required).

The NEW PAN1780-AT Evaluation Kit is provided to support rapid prototyping with the PAN1780-AT Series RF Module.
