Renesas — DA14695MOD SmartBond Bluetooth® LE 5.2, High-Integration Module

Renesas DA14695MOD SmartBond Bluetooth® LE 5.2, High-Integration Module

Based on the SmartBond DA14695 Bluetooth® low energy 5.2 system on chip (SoC), the Renesas DA14695 Module brings out all the DA14695 hardware features and capabilities. The module integrates all passives, antenna, a 32Mbit QSPI FLASH and is supported by software that is easy to work with. The DA14695 Module targets broad market use and will be certified across regions providing significant reductions in development cost and risks, and time-to-market.

The DA14695 is a multi-core wireless microcontroller, combining the latest Arm® Cortex®-M33 application processor with floating-point unit, advanced power management functionality, a cryptographic security engine, analog and digital peripherals, a dedicated sensor node controller, and a software configurable protocol engine with a radio that is compliant to the Bluetooth® 5.2 low energy standard.

The DA14695 by Renesas is based on an Arm® Cortex®-M33 CPU with an 8-region MPU and a single-precision FPU offering up to 144 dMIPS. The dedicated application processor executes code from embedded memory (RAM) or external QSPI FLASH via a 16 kB 4-way associative cache controller, which is equipped with an on-the-fly decrypting capability without extra wait states.

Bluetooth® 5.2 connectivity is guaranteed by a new software-configurable Bluetooth® low energy protocol engine (MAC) with an ultra-low-power radio transceiver, capable of +6 dBm output power and -96 dBm sensitivity offering a total link budget of 102 dB.

An optimized programmable sensor node controller allows sensor node operations and data acquisition without CPU intervention, achieving best-in-class power consumption. The advanced power management unit of the DA14695 enables it to run on primary and secondary batteries, as well as provide power to external devices through the integrated SIMO DCDC and integrated LDOs. The on-chip JEITA-compliant hardware charger makes it possible to natively charge rechargeable batteries over USB. A variety of standard and advanced peripherals enable interaction with other system components and the development of advanced user interfaces and feature-rich applications.
