Claimed to be the industry’s lowest power, smallest footprint Bluetooth Smart solution, the Atmel SmartConnect Bluetooth Smart BTLC1000 consumes less than 4mA in RX and less than 3mA TX at 3.6V. According to the company, it can increases battery life by as much as one year or more for certain applications.
The 2.2 x 2.1mm WLCSP is ‘unparalleled’ says the company and significantly smaller than alternatives available on the market today. The tiny, low-power SoC opens up possibilities for IoT and wearable markets, says the company, enabling applications such as fitness trackers and medical devices, along with human Interface devices, asset trackers and beacons.
