BM78 is a Bluetooth module compatible with version 5.0 provided by Microchip.
Compared to the previous version, Bluetooth 5.0 has enhanced power saving functions, IPv6 support, 128bit AES encryption, and up to 2.5 times the transfer speed, strengthening support for IoT applications.
Features of the BM78 module
- Equipped with an antenna that has already received radio wave certification and has an RF shield, enabling development in a short period of time.
- Compact size (22 x 12 x 2.4 mm) allows mounting in minimal space
- Bluetooth SIG certification has been obtained, reducing the man-hours required for logo certification
- Dual-mode Bluetooth and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) functionality
- Supports Bluetooth 5.0 GAP, SDP, SPP, and GATT profiles for instant communication
- Ideal for battery equipment due to its low power consumption
- Equipped with a UART interface, enabling Bluetooth communication with a simple program from a microcomputer
- An Android demo application is provided, so communication with smartphones and tablets can be immediately evaluated.
Radio Certification Acquired in 5 Regions and Countries
BM78 has CE, FCC, IC, MIC, KCC, NCC, SRRC, and WPC certifications in 7 regions and countries, so it can be used immediately in the EU, USA, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China, and India. can be used for
Therefore, it is possible to deploy products in these regions while significantly reducing the cost and time required for radio wave certification.
