RN4020-V/RM – NEW Bluetooth® 4.1 Low-Energy Module
The RN4020 is a fully-certified, Bluetooth Version 4.1 low energy module for designers who want to easily add low power wireless capability to their products. The small form factor (11.5 x 19.5 x 2.5 mm), surface mount module has the complete Bluetooth stack on-board and is controlled via simple ASCII commands over the UART interface. The RN4020 also includes all Bluetooth SIG profiles, as well as MLDP (Microchip Low-energy Data Profile) for custom data. Further private services can be created via the ASCII command interface.
Developers can utilize the scripting feature to enable standalone operation without a host MCU or can use any external Microcontroller for intelligent Bluetooth Low Energy applications. The RN4020 can be remote controlled by another module over a secure connection and can be updated via the UART interface or over-the-air. The RN4020 has a built-in high performance PCB antenna with a transmit power of up to +7dBm and a receiver sensitivity of down to -92.5 dBm. This makes the module optimally tuned for long range, typically over 100 meters.
The RN4020 is a true drop-in solution that is easy to use, and easy to prototype, greatly speeding time to market.
