Introduction
This technical data sheet describes the ultra-compact ANNA-B112 stand-alone Bluetooth 5 low energy module packed into a System-in-Package design. Despite the small size, ANNA-B112 offers an internal antenna option. With embedded Bluetooth low energy stack and u-connectXpress software, this SiP module is tailored for OEMs who wish to have the shortest time-to-market. ANNA-B112 offers full flexibility, and the OEMs can embed their own application on top of the integrated Bluetooth low energy stack using Nordic SDK or Arm Mbed integrated development environment (IDE).
ANNA-B112 is an ultra-small, high-performing, standalone Bluetooth low energy module. The System-in-Package (SiP) module features Bluetooth 5, a powerful Arm Cortex-M4 microprocessor with FPU, with state-of-the-art power performance.
ANNA-B112 is delivered with u-connectXpress software that provides support for u-blox Bluetooth Low Energy Serial Port Service, GATT client and server, beacons, NFC, and simultaneous peripheral and central roles – all configurable from a host by using AT commands.
The module supports two alternative antenna implementations. Utilize the integrated internal antenna together with an external antenna tuning strip, or optionally connect an external antenna to the available antenna pin during the design-in. Although the reach of external antennas can vary, the internal antenna of the module – including the external antenna strip – has a transceiver range of up to 160 m.
ANNA-B112 has full modular approval for Europe (RED), Great Britain (UKCA), US (FCC), Canada (IC / ISED RSS), Japan (MIC), Taiwan (NCC), South Korea (KCC), Australia / New Zealand (ACMA), Brazil (ANATEL), South Africa (ICASA), and China (SRRC).
