The BMD-341 from u-blox is an advanced, highly flexible, ultra-low power multiprotocol SoM that enables Bluetooth 5 (BLE) and IEEE 802.15.4 (Thread and Zigbee) connectivity for portable, extremely low-power embedded systems. With an Arm® Cortex®-M4F CPU, integrated 2.4 GHz transceiver, and a U.FL connector for an external antenna, the BMD-341 provides a complete RF solution allowing faster time to market with reduced development costs. Providing full use of the Nordic nRF52840's capabilities and peripherals, the BMD-341 can power the most demanding applications, all while simplifying designs and reducing BOM costs. The BMD-341 is an ideal solution for designs that require the latest Bluetooth 5 features or 802.15.4 based networking for Thread. Increased integration with built-in USB and 5.5 V compatible DC/DC supply reduces design complexity and BOM cost while expanding possible applications. BMD-341 designs are footprint compatible with the BMD-300/301/330/360, providing low-cost flexibility for tiered product lineups.
