BMD-360 Bluetooth® 5.1, 802.15.4 Wireless Module

u-blox's wireless module provides class-leading power efficiency, enabling ultra-low power-sensitive applications

Image of u-blox's BMD-360 Bluetooth® 5.1, 802.15.4 Wireless Module The BMD-360 from u-blox is a powerful, highly flexible, ultra-low power Bluetooth 5.1 module based on the nRF52811 SoC from Nordic Semiconductor. With an Arm® Cortex®-M4 CPU, embedded 2.4 GHz transceiver, and integrated antenna, it provides a complete RF solution with no additional RF design, allowing faster time-to-market. Providing full use of the nRF52811’s capabilities and peripherals, the BMD-360 can power demanding applications while simplifying designs and reducing BOM costs. With an internal DC-DC converter and intelligent power control, the BMD-360 provides class-leading power efficiency, enabling ultra-low power-sensitive applications. Regulatory pre-approvals reduce the burden to enter the market. As a drop-in replacement for the BMD-300/301/330, the BMD-360 completes u-blox's BMD-300 series lineup with an optimized peripheral set that is attractive for a wide range of cost-sensitive applications. BMD-360 designs are footprint compatible with the BMD-300/301/330/340/341, providing low-cost flexibility for tiered product lineups.
