RN52 – Fully Certified Bluetooth Version 3.0 High-Quality Audio Module
The RN52 Bluetooth audio module provides a fully integrated solution for delivering high-quality stereo audio in a small form factor.
It combines a Class 2 Bluetooth radio with an embedded DSP processor, controlled and configured by simple ASCII commands and GPIO. The RN52 integrates RF, a baseband controller, and DSP, making it a complete Bluetooth audio wireless link.It supports HFP/HSP, A2DP, AVRCP and SPP stack profiles as well as iAP profile discovery for iPhone® and iPod® Bluetooth accessories.
Furthermore the module includes support for codecs such as SBC, aptX®, and AAC. It provides a UART interface, GPIO, stereo speaker outputs, stereo microphone inputs, and a USB port. The RN52 is available as an A2DP audio source or sink. For prototyping with the RN52, the simple-to-use development kit RN-52-EK is available. This development tool demonstrates the key features of the module allowing designers to quickly and easily evaluate and develop prototypes.
