Bluetooth Low Energy expansion board
Hardware overview
X-NUCLEO-IDB05A1 hardware description
•
The X-NUCLEO-IDB05A1 is a Bluetooth Low Energy
(BLE) evaluation and development board system, designed around
ST’s SPBTLE-RF Bluetooth Low
Energy module based on BlueNRG-MS.
•
The BlueNRG-MS processor hosted in the SPBTLE-RF module communicates with the STM32 Nucleo developer board host microcontroller though an SPI link available on the Arduino UNO R3 connector.
Key products on board
SPBTLE-RF
Bluetooth Low Energy, FCC and IC certified, module based on Bluetooth® Low Energy wireless network processor BlueNRG-MS, BLE4.1 compliant.
SPBTLE-RF integrates a BALF-NRG-01D3 balun and a chip antenna. It embeds 32 MHz and 32.768 kHz crystal oscillators for the BlueNRG-MS.
M95640-R
