Overview of RN42-I/RM

The RN42-I/RM module is a class 2 Bluetooth radio with a tiny form factor and low power consumption that is perfect for designers who want to add wireless capability to their products without investing a lot of time and money in Bluetooth-specific hardware and software.

The RN42-I/RM is a complete embedded Bluetooth solution that supports several interface protocols, is easy to design in, and is completely certified. The RN42-I/RM delivers up to a 3-Mbps data rate over distances up to 10 meters, thanks to its high-performance PCB trace antenna (RN42) or external antenna (RN42N) and support for Bluetooth EDR.

 

RN42-I/RM Features

  • Fully qualified Bluetooth® version 2.1 module, supports version 2.1 + Enhanced Data Rate  (EDR)

  • ASCII command interface over UART 

  • Postage-stamp-sized form factor:

    - RN42: 13.4 x 25.8 x 2.4 mm

    - RN42N: 13.4 x 20.5 x 2.4 mm

  • Low-power (26A sleep, 3 mA connected, 30 transmit)

  • UART (SPP or HCI  ) and USB (HCI only) data connection interfaces

  • Sustained SPP  data rates: 240 Kbps (Slave mode),300 Kbps (Master mode)

  • HCI data rates: 1.5 Mbps sustained, 3.0 Mbps burst in HCI  mode

  • Embedded Bluetooth stack profiles include GAPSDPRFCOMML2CAP  protocols, with SPP, HID, and DUN  profile support (does not require any host stack).

  • Bluetooth SIG qualified, end product listing

  • Castellated SMT pads for easy and reliable PCB  mounting

  • Class 2 power amplifier with onboard PCB  trace antenna (RN42) or external antenna (RN42N)

  • Compliance (RN42)

    - Modular Certified for the United States (FCC) and Canada (IC)

    - European R&TTE Directive Assessed Radio Module

    - Australia/New Zealand/Japan/Korea/Taiwan

    Bluetooth SIG QDID 

  • Integrated Crystal, Internal Voltage Regulator
