October 27, 2015 – Fujitsu releases PN MBH7BLZ07 miniature Bluetooth module that allows data communications without the need to develop profiles and software.
PN MBH7BLZ07 measures 11.5 x 7.9 x 1.7mm and is based on the Nordic Semiconductor nRF51822 chipset (IC Rev. 3, S110 Ver. 8.0.0), which is built around a 32-bit ARM Cortex M0 CPU with 256kB flash and 16kB RAM.
It has an industrial temperature range of -40 to +85 degC, low 10.5mA power consumption (typical for 0dBm in Tx mode), an embedded antenna, and is FCC-approved.
Settings can be managed by a variety of simple, text-based control commands (UART) to facilitate integrating the module into new products. Alternatively, Fujitsu offers the module in a blank version (PN MBH7BLZ07-109033) without embedded firmware, which can utilize the extensive Nordic software library for application development, with full access to the onboard ARM Cortex M0 CPU.
