Fully-tuned Bluetooth 2.1+EDR modules streamline development and production

Adding to the performance enhancements of Bluetooth 2.1+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), the connectBlue™ OHCI406 and OHCI411 Host-Controller Interface (HCI) modules also save time in development and production by storing the MAC address and radio tuning parameters directly on the module.

This saves developers from storing parameters on the host processor, and also eliminates trimming, tuning and testing of radio parameters during production. As the modules are both fully-tuned and radio-tested, the OHCI406 and OHCI411 can be used directly in demanding applications throughout industrial, medical or other fields. The input sensitivity of -90dBm and output power of 7dB enable high data integrity over distances up to 150 metres.

The OHCI411 module operates from 3.3V to 6.6V and shares its 16mm x 36mm outline with the connectBlue OEMSPA311/331 Bluetooth modules, thereby allowing designers to use the same connector and mounting-hole arrangement. The OHCI406 provides a miniaturised PCB measuring 14mm x 22.5mm and operates from a 2.7V to 3.6V supply. Sharing identical functionality with the larger module, the OHCI406 serves portable and battery-powered applications.
