Ultra low-power ultra-compact Type ZY Bluetooth Smart module

Mouser is now stocking the Type ZY Bluetooth Smart module from Murata. Hailed as one of the most compact and ultra low-power consumption modules of its type in the industry, the Type ZY conforms to the Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) v4.1 standard, and includes built-in protocol stacks required for many types of Bluetooth low-energy communications. The 2.4GHz module features an integrated system clock, an onboard PCB Antenna, low power operation, and iBeacon support. The Type ZY is a complete Bluetooth radio system with a low current consumption of only 5mA at 0dBm transmit power. With 0dBm output power, this device typically has a range of 98 feet (30 meters). This wireless stack-on-module features a programmable application and profile framework, and includes built-in BB, LL, L2CAP, GAP, SMP, ATT, GATT protocol stacks. The size-optimized Bluetooth 4.1 BLE Smart module operates in a frequency range of 2402MHz to 2480MHz. The module features flexible programming and interface options including UART, SPI, I2C and GPIO. This module has an operating temperature range of -40C to +85C, and is fully RoHS-compliant and certified to FCC/IC, CE and TELEC regulations. The ultra-compact module measures only 7.4mm x 7mm x 1mm, and is offered in a SMD/SMT mounting style in standard reel packaging. The module can be powered by a small 3.6V button battery, and targets Internet of Things (IoT) applications such as health care and fitness devices, medical equipment, Smartphone peripheral devices, remote controls, and wireless devices.
