| Ready-to-use IoT low-power sensor platform
| Provides 9 degrees of freedom sensing and environmental monitoring such as humidity
| Includes Bosch BME680, BMM150, and BHI160 sensors

ON Semiconductor announced on the 14th that it is launching the RSL10 Sensor Development Kit based on Bluetooth low energy wireless technology.

Designed for engineering professionals, this development kit provides a comprehensive platform for developing IoT applications using advanced smart sensor technology.
The RSL 10 Sensor Development Kit combines the highly integrated RSL10 System-in-Package with a variety of advanced, low-power sensors from Bosch Sensortec.

This development platform provides 9 degrees of freedom (DoF) sensing and environmental monitoring including ambient light, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pressure, relative humidity, and temperature. It also includes a user-programmable RGB LED, three programmable push-button switches, 64kb EEPROM, and an ultra-low-noise digital microphone.

“We are excited to collaborate with ON Semiconductor on the development of the RSL10 sensor kit,” said Peter Weigand, Vice President of Marketing at Bosch Sensortec. “This small form factor platform includes Bosch Sensortec’s BME680 environmental sensor for air quality applications, the BMM150 geomagnetic sensor for detecting a variety of gases, and the BHI160 smart sensor for high-precision motion detection.”

“The RSL10 Sensor Kit integrates motion and environmental sensing with the ultra-low power capabilities of the Bluetooth 5-certified RSL 10, enabling a new set of consumer and industrial IoT applications with enhanced sensor technology and extended battery life,” he added.

Developers can connect to the RSL10 Sensor Development Kit using the RSL10 Sense and Control mobile application to monitor sensors and evaluate the kit's capabilities, and the optional, ready-to-use RSL10 sensor development kit is available immediately. The app also supports various commercial cloud platforms for uploading sensor data.

“Based on the industry’s lowest power Bluetooth low energy radio, the RSL10 Sensor Development Kit will set the standard for ultra-low power Bluetooth implemented in smart sensor designs,” said Wiren Perera, general manager, IoT at ON Semiconductor. “We are pleased to bring the RSL10 Sensor Development Kit to market with the support of Bosch Sensortec.”

The RSL10 Sensor Development Kit is available through ON Semiconductor and several other energy-efficient IoT prototyping platforms, including the Bluetooth IoT Development Kit and the recently launched Energy Harvesting Bluetooth Low Energy Switch.

The RSL10 is available as a complete SiP with integrated antenna in a 5.5mm2 WLCSP, 6mm x 6mm QFN package.

Meanwhile, from the 26th to the 28th, the ON Semiconductor booth at Embedded World will host a demonstration of how service providers can use the RSL10 sensor development kit to monitor worker safety. ON Semiconductor experts will be on-site showcasing the latest IoT solutions, including energy harvesting, smart lighting, and audio edge AI.
