Introduction
The BlueNRG-M0 is an easy to use Bluetooth low energy master/slave network processor module, compliant with Bluetooth v4.2. The BlueNRG-M0 module supports multiple roles simultaneously, and can act at the same time as Bluetooth low energy sensor and hub device.
The entire Bluetooth low energy stack and protocols are embedded into BlueNRGM0 module. The external host application processor, where the application resides, is connected to the BlueNRG-M0 module through a standard SPI interface.
The BlueNRG-M0 module provides a complete RF platform in a tiny form factor. Radio, antenna, high frequency and LPO oscillators are integrated to offer a certified solution to optimize the time-to-market of the final applications.
The BlueNRG-M0 can be powered directly with a standard coin cell battery, a pair of AAA batteries or any power source from 1.7 to 3.6 V.
The BlueNRG-M0 is a single-mode Bluetooth low energy master/slave network processor module compliant with Bluetooth v4.2.
The BlueNRG-M0 module has been designed around the ST BlueNRG-MS network processor, on which a complete power-optimized stack for Bluetooth single mode protocol runs, providing
Master, slave role support
GAP: central, peripheral, observer or broadcaster roles
ATT/GATT: client and server
SM: privacy, authentication and authorization
L2CAP
Link Layer: AES-128 encryption and decryption
The BlueNRG-MS radio embeds non-volatile Flash memory allows on-field stack upgrading. In addition, according to the Bluetooth specification v4.2, the BlueNRG-M0 module provides:
Multiple roles simultaneously support
Support simultaneous advertising and scanning
Support being slave of up to two masters simultaneously
Privacy V1.1
Low duty cycle directed advertising
Connection parameters request procedure
LE Ping
32 bits UUIDs
L2CAP connection oriented channels
The BlueNRG-M0 module is equipped with Bluetooth low energy profiles in C source code, available for the ST radio BlueNRG-MS.
The external host application processor, where the application resides, is interfaced with the BlueNRG-M0 module through an application controller interface protocol, which is based on a standard SPI interface.
The BlueNRG-M0 module enables wireless connectivity into electronic devices, not requiring any RF experience or expertise for integration into the final product. The BlueNRG-M0 module provides a complete RF platform in a tiny form factor and being a certified solution optimizes the time-to-market of the final applications.
The BlueNRG-M0 module allows applications to meet of the tight advisable peak current requirements imposed with the use of standard coin cell batteries. Optimized results are obtained when the embedded high-efficiency DC-DC step-down converter is used (BLUENRG-M0A). Instead, concerning the BLUENRG-M0L the best performance in terms of power consumption is achieved using a 1.8V DC power supply.
The BlueNRG-M0 can be powered directly with a standard coin cell battery, a pair of AAA batteries or any power source from 1.7 to 3.6 V.
