BLE 5 / Sub-1GHz / 15.4/ SoC Companion Chip

Overview

A complete RF Modem companion chip for adding Bluetooth Low Energy v5.x (2.4GHz), Sub-1GHz (150-960MHz), 802.15.4(Zigbee),capability to any embedded CPU SoC via a standard SPI interface.

Integrated BLE Link Layer and FSK, GFSK, OOK Modem enables data rates of 2Mbps for Bluetooth and 50Kbps for Sub-1GHz. Connection range from ~100 meters with Bluetooth to ~50Km over Sub-1GHz ISM band.

Standard SPI interface plus chip select & packet sync pins for interfacing a MCU or SOC and accessing an integrated AES engine for data encryption/decryption. No external RAM, ROM or Flash is not required.

Low cost & simple upgrade to any embedded MCU system.
