Low power Bluetooth 4.1 controller supports any microprocessor
Ideally suited for ultra-low power wireless sensing, remote control and monitoring applications, the EM9301 operates on as little as 0.8 V. It can be powered by a wide range of common single-cell batteries or energy harvesters such as solar cells, piezo-electric or electro-magnetic elements. EM9301 supports both BLE MASTER and SLAVE roles as defined in Bluetooth specification V4.1, and combines the Physical Layer, Link Layer and Host Controller Interface (HCI) layer in one low cost chip. When paired with a low-power host controller, it enables cost/performance/size-optimized systems for most Bluetooth Smart applications.
The EM9301 offers users a flexible, modular and low-cost way to add Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity to their products, allowing them to preserve their legacy microcontroller choice and leverage their software investment while adding wireless connectivity.
The EM9301 is in production and is available in both die format and in a ROHS-compliant MLF-24 package. EM9301 device purchase includes a license-free Bluetooth Smart stack for 8051 or ARM® Cortex™ M0/M3 cores. Development kits for numerous microcontrollers are available.
