New Bluetooth LE Module delivers industry’s lowest power consumption for IoT applications

Murata announced the launch of its newest Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) module, the Type 2EG. Based on the RSL15 secure Bluetooth 5.2 MCU from onsemi, the product delivers a fully certified, secured, ultra-small Bluetooth LE solution with the industry’s lowest power consumption. It also supports new Bluetooth 5.2 specifications, including long range, proximity, a high transmit rate, and up to 10 simultaneous connections. Target markets include connected IoT edge devices in industrial and medical applications. Battery powered IoT devices enabled with wireless connectivity have made millions of remote monitoring and controlling use cases a reality. The key lies in two major features: long battery life and secured data communication. The Type 2EG solution delivers the lowest power consumption in the Bluetooth LE module market because both of its radio and built-in micro-processor are highly power efficient. The on-board Arm Cortex-M33 processor can remain in a deep sleep mode while still monitoring sensor interfaces. Additionally, the solution includes ArmTrustZone and Arm CryptoCell-312 technologies that provide root of trust and unsurpassed data security protection. The miniaturized module measures just 7mm × 7.4mm × 1.0mm. It also integrates Bluetooth LE SoC, RF front end, fast and slow clock for operation and sleep mode, a large value inductor for low power mode, as well as ...
