1. Introduction

1.1. Operational description

The Proteus-III module is a radio sub module/device for wireless communication between de-
®
vices such as control systems, remote controls, sensors et cetera. On the basis of Bluetooth LE
5.1 it offers a fast and secure data transmission of data packages between two or more parties
(point to point topology). A serial interface (UART) is available for communication with the host
system.
®
The Proteus-III uses the Bluetooth LE standard to provide general data transmission between
several devices. The standard itself offers a wide range of configurations and possibilities to suit
and optimize sophisticated customer applications. To fulfill the needs and specifications of such
applications a tailored firmware can be developed on the basis of the Proteus-III hardware. This
®
includes the connection and communication to custom sensors, custom Bluetooth LE profiles,
timing configurations, security configuration as well as power consumption optimizations.
Even with it's small dimensions of 8 x 12 mm the Proteus-III provides a strongly miniaturized
integrated PCB antenna. Beside it is possible to connect an external antenna if high radio
ranges are of interest.
The main functionality is accessible through pads with edge castellation. This offers easy pro-
totype building as it is suitable for hand soldering. More optional GPIOs without enlarging the
size are accessible through land grid pads that can only be connected through reflow process.
