Fanstel BluNor BC840 Datasheet

BC840/M/E, Compact BLE 5, Thread, Zigbee Modules
BluNor BC840 is a powerful, highly flexible, ultra low power Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) using Nordic
nRF52840 SoC. With an ARM Cortex
embedded 2.4GHz multi-protocol transceiver, and an integrated PCB trace antenna. It
allows faster time to market with reduced development cost.
• BC840 is an ultra compact(7.1x9.2x1.5mm) and ultra short range (10 meters with an
Android phone) module for wearable application.
• BC840M is compact in size (7.1x12.3x1.5mm). Its range is measured at 135 meters for 1Mbps data rate.
• BC840E is an ultra compact (7.1x9.2x1.8mm) module with ultra long range (3400 meters at 125 Kbps, Low
Multiple Path Interference). Per FCC test reports, the peak TX power with ANT060 antenna is +15.38 dBm.
