455-00023

Development kit for the 453-00021 module with external antenna. BL654PA module is designed to simplify OEMs enablement of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) v5.0 and Thread (802.15.4) to small, portable, highly power-conscious devices. The BL654PA provides engineers with considerable design flexibility in both hardware and software programming capabilities. Based on the world-leading Nordic Semiconductor nRF52840 chipset, the BL654PA modules provide ultra-low power consumption with outstanding wireless range via +18dBm of transmit power and the long range (CODED PHY) Bluetooth 5 feature. New circuitry both increases TX power and decreases sleep current for impeccable power management. The BL654PA is programmable via AT commands and Laird’s smartBASIC language. Typical applications include medical devices, IoT sensors, factory automation, HVAC controllers, location awareness and home automation.
