The multi-protocol Bluetooth 5-certified radio SoC can be used for wearables such as fitness trackers and smart watches, smart locks, and electronics like lighting or appliances.
It features two Sensirion SHTW2 humidity and temperature sensors and acts as an intelligent circuit. Developers can incorporate on/off body detection for improved battery management, says the company.
They are designed with higher brightness and contrast with one-tenth the power consumption of a backlit LCD, and offer a thin profile and 160 degree viewing angle. They are also claimed to deliver a faster response time compared with standard LCDs.
The SimpleLink CC2640R2F comes in a tiny 2.7 x 2.7mm chip-scale package (WCSP) option that is less than half the size of the company’s smallest 4.0 x 4.0mm QFN package. Despite its size it delivers the longest range with the lowest power consumption, claims the company. It is ready for the Bluetooth 5 core specification which offers longer range, higher speed and more data for enhanced connection-less applications in building automation, medical, commercial and industrial automation.
