The RN42-I/RM from Microchip Technology is a fully qualified Bluetooth version 2.1 module supporting Enhanced Data Rate (EDR). It features an ASCII command interface over UART and a compact, postage-stamp-sized form factor suitable for easy PCB mounting.
This Class 2 module operates in the 2.4GHz frequency band and offers a range of up to 10 meters. Key electrical specifications include a transmit power of 4dBm, a sensitivity of -80dBm, and low power consumption with typical currents of 26 µA in sleep mode, 3 mA connected, and 30 mA during transmit. Data rates can reach up to 300 Kbps in peripheral mode and 1.5 Mbps sustained in HCI mode.
The module supports various Bluetooth profiles including GAP, SDP, RFCOMM, L2CAP, SPP, and HID, without requiring a host stack. It is designed for easy integration into final products, minimizing development time and accelerating time to market. The RN42-I/RM is compatible with Microchip microcontroller families.
Packaged as a 35-SMD Module, it is designed for surface mount applications. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C, and it requires a supply voltage between 3V and 3.6V.
