Microchip Technology BM70 & BM71 BLUETOOTH® Low Energy Modules

Microchip Technology BM70 and BM71 BLUETOOTH® Low Energy (BLE) Modules are built around IS1870/71 BLE Integrated Circuit (IC). The Microchip IS1870/71 IC includes an onboard BLUETOOTH® stack, a power management subsystem, a 2.4GHz transceiver, and an RF power amplifier. These BLE modules provide BLUETOOTH® functionality to any product. The BM70 and BM71 Modules feature simple integration and programming, reduced development time, superior wireless module, and interoperability with Apple® iOS and Android® OS. These BLE modules come with the ability to maintain a low-power wireless connection. The BM70 and BM71 Modules are available in small, compact, and surface-mounted modules with castellated pads for easy and reliable host PCB mounting. Typical applications include IoT, secure payment, wearable devices, home and security, health and fitness, beacons, and industrial and data logger.
