The latest version of the BlueNRG Bluetooth SMART network processor supports the latest Bluetooth version 4.1 enhancements and introduces 1.7V operation for longer battery life. It integrates a complete Bluetooth PHY and 2.4-GHz radio, ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller running the Bluetooth 4.1 protocol stack, and a dedicated AES-128 security coprocessor. The API, power management, and Flash are already integrated, allowing direct connection to the application host controller using a SPI bus leveraging clear software partitioning between network processor and host microcontroller. BlueNRG-MS is available now in a 5 mm x 5 mm x 1 mm QFN32 package, priced from $1.50 each/1000. A CSP option with the 2.6 mm x 2.6 mm footprint and a height as low as 0.56 mm will be available after April. For further information, visit http://www.st.com/bluenrg-ms
