RN4678
1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW
The RN4678 module is a fully certified, embedded
Bluetooth (BR/EDR/LE) wireless module. The module
includes an on-board Bluetooth stack, power
management subsystem, a 2.4 GHz transceiver, and
RF power amplifier. Customers can embed Bluetooth
functionality into any application using the RN4678
module.
The RN4678 enables rapid product development and
faster time to market, and it is designed to provide
integrators with the following features:
Simple integration and programming
Reduced development time
Superior wireless module with low-cost system
Interoperability with Bluetooth host
Wide range of applications
The RN4678 is a complete and fully regulatory certified
module with an integral ceramic chip antenna and RF
shield.
The RN4678 is a small, compact and surface mounted
module with castellated pads for easy and reliable host
PCB mounting. The module is compatible with
standard pick-and-place equipment and can
independently maintain a low-power wireless
connection. Low-power usage and flexible power
management maximize the lifetime of the RN4678
module in battery-operated devices. A wide operating
temperature range enables its applications in indoor
and outdoor environments.
