Laird-Connectivity's-BL5340PA-Series-Is-An-Ideal-Solution-For-Smart-Home-Applications

Designed to provide next-generation Bluetooth audio streaming, BL5340PA modules offer Bluetooth 5.2 LE support including Isochronous Channels and LE Audio. Additionally, their integrated dual-core Arm® Cortex M33 microcontrollers enable low-power core operation that is dedicated to wireless connectivity while a second, higher-performance core targets the end application. This further enhances the product's multi-protocol capabilities, which include Bluetooth LE, 802.15.4 (Thread / Zigbee), and NFC. The BL5340PA is also equipped with an ARM CryptoCell312, which enables secure key storage, trusted execution, and root-of-trust security features.

The BL5340PA series provides access to all nRF5340 hardware features and capabilities, such as USB access, transmit power of up to +18.5 dBm, 3.0V to 3.6V supply considerations, and an industrial operating range of -40 to 105°C. Laird Connectivity simplifies your next multi-protocol wireless design with multiple regulatory certifications that reduce development risk and enable faster time-to-market.
