Silicon Labs’ Ultra-Small BGM12x SiP Modules for Bluetooth LE Applications
Based on Silicon Labs’ Blue Gecko wireless system-on-chip (SoC), the BGM12x is the industry’s smallest Bluetooth® low energy SiP module with a built-in chip antenna, offering a complete, cost-effective connectivity solution. Silicon Labs’ BGM121 and
BGM123 Blue Gecko SiP modules provide an all-in-one Bluetooth connectivity solution featuring an ARM® Cortex®-M4 processor with 256 kBytes of flash, high-output Bluetooth power amplifier, high- efficiency onboard antenna, external antenna options, oscillators and passives, along with a reliable, secure Bluetooth 4.2 stack. Available in a tiny 6.5 mm × 6.5 mm package, the BGM12x Blue Gecko SiP module enables developers to miniaturize
Internet of Things (IoT) designs by minimizing the PCB footprint, including an antenna clearance of just 51 mm2. The modules are available with different transmit output power options, from 3 dBm (BGM123) to 8 dBm (BGM121), to support connected device applications with varying range requirements, and are pre-certified for use in many key global markets, which helps to minimize development costs and radio frequency (RF) regulatory compliance efforts for developers. The modules are supported by the
Blue Gecko Bluetooth Smart Module Wireless Starter Kit for BGM121 and BGM123 SiP modules and BGM111. The kit comes with the Bluetooth Smart module radio board, a main board with coin-cell battery holder, USB and Ethernet connections, display, connections to all the module’s peripheral interfaces, and
New Texas Instruments CC1350 SensorTag Development Kit and Antenna Kit
Anouncing two new development kits for the CC1350 SimpleLink™ wireless microcontroller from Texas Instruments (TI): the CC1350 SensorTag development kit and Sub-1 GHz and 2.4 GHz antenna kit for LaunchPad™ and SensorTag. The CC1350 microcontroller is designed for low-power wide area networks (LPWAN) and features dual-band connectivity that expands the functionality of a sub-1 GHz network with Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) implementations. The TI CC1350
SensorTag development kit expands the SensorTag ecosystem with a single-chip Bluetooth Smart® radio and a sub- 1GHz radio. The kit combines easy mobile phone integration with long-range
28
an extension board with additional peripherals. The wireless starter kit offers an easy and fast way to start evaluating and developing Bluetooth Smart applications with the BGM12x SiP modules, such as sports and fitness wearables, smartwatches, personal medical devices, wireless sensor nodes, and other space-constrained connected devices.

connectivity based on a 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M3 processor — all on a single chip that can run for years on a single coin cell battery. The CC1350 SensorTag allows direct connection with Bluetooth to smartphones and tablets, combined with a 2-kilometer range for the sub- 1GHz radio interface. The sub-1 GHz and 2.4 GHz antenna kit for LaunchPad
and SensorTag allows engineers to perform real-world testing to find the optimal antenna for applications. The antenna kit includes 16 tested and characterized antennas for frequencies from 169MHz to 2.4GHz, including PCB antennas, Helical antennas and chip antennas as well as dual-band antennas for 868MHz or 915MHz combined with 2.4GHz. The kit includes a µSMA (JSC) cable to connect to LaunchPad and SensorTag kits, including the CC1350 SensorTag development kit, as well as the CC2650 LaunchPad and CC1310 LaunchPad. The kit also includes a µSMA (JSC)-to-SMA connector for connecting the kit or antennas to a standard SMA connector.
