BluNor BT40F is a powerful, highly flexible, ultra low power Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) using 
Nordic nRF5340 SoC. With a dual core ARM

 

Cortex

TM

 M33 MCU, embedded 2.4GHz multi-

protocol transceiver, and an integrated PCB trace antenna or u.FL connector for an external 
antenna. It allows faster time to market with reduced development cost.  

No external component needed to minimize host PCB area: Both 32 MHz and 32.768 KHz, -40
