Product details
RN4870 Bluetooth 4.2 Module
The RN4870 module is based on the IS187x Bluetooth device and provides a complete solution to implement Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy connectivity. The module is interfaced to a host MCU via a UART serial port using Microchips ASCII command set for easy integration into most applications. The module can be dynamically configured by the host MCU with a few simple ASCII commands. The RN4870 also supports on-board scripting to automate basic operations enabling it to stand alone without a host microcontroller.
Module Features
RF Frequency Band: 2.402 to 2.480GHz ISM band, channels 0 to 39
RF Output Power: 0dBm (Bluetooth Class 3)
Receiver Sensitivity: -90dBm
On-board Bluetooth 4.2 Low-Energy stack
GAP, GATT, SM, L2CAP and integrated public profiles
Support for Beacon services such as Apple iBeacon™ and Google Eddystone™
UART transparent service for serial data streaming
ASCII Command Interface API over UART
Scripting engine for host-less operation
Security: FIPS-based connection security, AES-128 encryption
Remote configuration Over-the-Air
Host communication: serial UART with optional CTS/RTS flow control
Ceramic chip antenna
Power supply: +1.9 to +3.6Vdc
