Sensor development kit combines improved sensing and better battery life
The RSL10 Sensor Development Kit is offered as a comprehensive platform for developing IoT applications with cutting-edge sensor technology, and enabled by the lowest-power Bluetooth Low Energy radio. The platform combines the company’s highly integrated RSL10 Bluetooth 5 certified system-in-package (SIP) with a range of advanced low-power sensors from Bosch Sensortec.
The development platform provides nine degrees of freedom (DoF) detection and environmental monitoring, including ambient light, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), pressure, relative humidity, and temperature sensing. An ultra-low-noise digital microphone is also included, along with a user-programmable RGB LED, three programmable push-button switches, and 64 kbit of EEPROM.
The small-form-factor platform includes Bosch Sensortec’s highly integrated BME680 environmental sensor to detect a broad range of gases for air quality applications, as well as its BMM150 geomagnetic sensor and the BHI160 smart sensor for high accuracy motion sensing. Using the RSL10 Sense and Control mobile application, developers can connect to the RSL10 Sensor Development Kit to monitor sensors and to evaluate the kit’s features. The app also supports multiple commercial cloud platforms for uploading sensor data.
“The RSL10 Sensor Development Kit, enabled by the industry’s lowest power Bluetooth Low Energy radio, will set the standard for ultra-low-power Bluetooth enabled smart sensor design,” says Wiren Perera, who heads IoT at ON Semiconductor. “We are delighted to have the support of Bosch Sensortec in bringing the RSL10 Sensor Development Kit to market.”
The RSL10 Sensor Development Kit is available now. The RSL10 is available in a 5.5 mm2 WLCSP, a 6 mm x 6 mm QFN package, and a complete System-in-Package (SiP) with an integrated antenna.
