BluNor BC40C 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 a chip 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
