Starter kits ease the development of BLE subsystems
Comprised of a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) IC, MCU, sensors and associated software, Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced a starter kit. The TC35667FTG BLE IC integrates a highly efficient DC/DC converter in a low-power circuit design, reducing peak current consumption to less than 6mA and deep sleep current consumption to less than 100nA.
The BLE IC receiver has a sensitivity of -91dBm and transmitter output power can be varied from 0 to -20dBm in 4dB steps. A BLE daughter board is also included, which contains a 26MHz and a 32.7kHz oscillator, 512kb EEPROM, a PCB antenna and an RF connector for connection to RF testers.
The motherboard is around a TMPM395FWAXBG MCU, which features an ARM Cortex-M3 CPU core with an operating frequency of 20MHz, 128KB of internal ROM and 8KB of internal RAM. An independent RTC and I/O support low power operation at 1.8V and can shut off power supplies, if neccessary. The board also includes a thermal sensor, accelerometer and buzzer with GPIO, JTAG and USB interfaces.
Software debugging and testing can be conducted via the JTAG interface, using IDEs from Keil and IAR Systems. Available now to professional developers, the kit is supplied with sample application source codes and a high level API software driver.
