1 Description
The SPBT4.0DP is an easy to use Bluetooth Smart Ready module, compliant with Bluetooth
v4.0.
The module is among the smallest form factor available which provides a complete RF
platform. The SPBT4.0DP enables electronic devices with wireless connectivity, not
requiring any RF experience or expertise for integration into the final product. The
SPBT4.0DP module, being a certified solution, optimizes the time to market of the final
applications.
The module is designed for maximum performance in a minimal space including fast speed
UART and 8 general purpose I/O lines, several serial interface options, and up to 800 kbps
transmission speed with SPP service active, 250kbps with iAP2 service active.
Optimized design allows the integration of a complete working Bluetooth modem, including
antenna, in the minimum possible size; only an additional external LPO (low power
oscillator) is required to enable low power mode capability.
The SPBT4.0DP is a surface mount PCB module that provides fully embedded, ready to
use Bluetooth wireless technology. The reprogrammable Flash memory contains
embedded firmware for serial cable replacement using the Bluetooth SPP profile.
Embedded Bluetooth DATA PACKAGE (DP) firmware is a friendly interface, which realizes a
simple control for cable replacement. The SPBT4.0DP supporting SPP, iAP2 and Bluetooth
Low Energy proprietary Data Exchange profiles, it provides communication with Android,
smartphone, and the newest Apple
®
iOS Bluetooth enabled devices.
An Apple authentication IC is required to exchange data with an Apple device or access an
Apple device application. The DP FW includes the Bluetooth iAP2 profile capable of
recognizing the Apple authentication chip.
Customers using the Apple authentication IC must register as developers to become an
Apple certified MFI member. License fees may apply, for additional information visit:
