AN96841 introduces you to the EZ-BLE
™ PRoC™ Module, a fully qualified and certified Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
module. The EZ-BLE PRoC Module is a complete BLE solution, integrating a BLE radio system, two crystals, chip
antenna and passive components required for BLE operation. This application note helps you explore the EZ-BLE PRoC
Module architecture and development too
ls and shows you how to create your first project using PSoC Creator™, the
development tool for the EZ-BLE PRoC Module. This application note also guides you to more resources to accelerate
in-depth learning about the Cypress BLE module solution.
