Bluetooth Smart Controller, a product utilizing the Bluetooth Low Energy Protocol stack API

Mouser Electronics announced that it has started selling Panasonic's PAN1760 Bluetooth® Smart Module.

Toshiba’s system-on-chip-based place-and-play Bluetooth Smart (low-power technology) module integrates a Bluetooth Smart controller, ARM7™ core, Bluetooth Low Power protocol stack API, and GATT profile.

Panasonic’s PAN1760 Bluetooth Smart module, available for purchase at Mouser Electronics, is a fully autonomous device suitable for independent operation and integrates 512Kbits EEPROM and 32Kbytes RAM for application code storage and execution.

This module provides I2C, SPI, two UARTs, and 10 general-purpose input/output port (GPIO) interfaces, as well as a wake-up control pin and four channels of analog-to-device converters (ADCs). This product is also software and hardware compatible with the Panasonic PAN1026 module, allowing each component to work together in a Bluetooth dual-mode network.

Mouser also sells Panasonic’s EVAL_PAN1760EMK experimental kit, which simplifies firmware and hardware development on a single board through integration with the PAN1760 module, ARM® Cortex®-M3 processor, and UART interface.

Wireless designers can adopt the PAN1760 module and experimental kit to quickly add Bluetooth Low Energy technology to embedded devices, wearables, industrial and medical diagnostic systems, and mobile phone accessories.
