Contact Provider Request Datasheet

Overview

The GR2000 BLE Platform IPs are wireless IP targeting Bluetooth Low Energy applications. The IPs are the cost-effective, ultra-low power, 2.4GHz RF IP. Very low active RF and low-power mode current consumption provide excellent battery lifetime and allow for operation on small coin cell batteries and in energy-harvesting applications. The IPs support Bluetooth 5 Low Energy key features: 1 Mbps/2Mbps and Long Range.
