Bluetooth® Modules Exceed ExpectationsPanasonic Electronic Components provides powerful, highly flexible, cost-effective RF modules for a wide variety of wireless Personal Area Network (PAN) applications. New extended range products and small footprints combined with network firmware flexibility make Panasonic an industry leader in the development of cutting-edge RF module technology. New Bluetooth RF Modules. Bluetooth, which is based on IEEE 802.15.1, was developed for the purpose of sending larger amounts of data quickly from computers to PDAs to cell phones or other portable handheld devices. Key features include high data rate, frequency hopping, very small form factor and modest power consumption. Panasonic offers a new Bluetooth RF module product line that makes connectivity between mobile devices such as cellular phones and small button cell battery powered devices like fitness sensors, watches, healthcare, entertainment and mobile accessories easily implemented, creating a seamless data chain from sensors to the Web. Reduced Design Cycle. Get your wireless products to market faster by greatly reducing the design-to-production path. RF hardware design, development, debugging and test, board layout, quality testing and certifications are all removed by choosing a Panasonic RF module. Extended Product Life Cycle. RF modules provide a constant footprint and pin out over several generations of integrated circuits to guard against the need to re-spin or redesign a wireless product to accommodate an IC that is no longer available. RF modules extend the product life cycle of any wireless product . New Revolutionary Software Alternatives. The time or software resources required to learn network stacks and develop applications is daunting and expensive. Panasonic has partnered with several software developers for all of the major network protocols, including Bluetooth®. From fully developed Bluetooth profiles to flexible AT commands, Panasonic can deliver an RF module with the firmware needed to make any project a success. Wireless Solutions For Less. RF modules can reduce the total cost of ownership for product development projects up to 50,000 units per year. Designing in an RF module rather than a discrete wireless solution can reduce expensive development, test, certification and production resource requirements.

View AllPAN1326/1316 Series - Bluetooth + Low Energy
Dual-Mode Wireless Bluetooth Connectivity and Bluetooth Low Energy - Introducing Panasonic’s latest breakthrough in wireless networking, the NEW PAN1326/1316 Series RF Modules featuring both Bluetooth Low Energy and Bluetooth connectivity. This powerful new technology combination creates a low cost, ultra-low power wireless networking solution for short range applications.
The Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) standard is designed to reduce power consumption by establishing very fast connections (few ms) and transferring small amounts of data. Using these techniques, energy consumption is reduced to a tenth of Classic Bluetooth.
Bluetooth Low Energy devices can be put into a sleep mode and activated for event activities such as sending files to a gateway, PC or mobile phone. Furthermore, the maximum power consumption is less than 15 mA and the average power consumption is about 1 uA. Thus, a small coin cell – such as a CR2032 – is capable of powering a device for up to 10 years of operation.
The NEW PAN1326/1316 Host Controlled Interface (HCI) Series also brings Texas Instrument’s CC2564, to an easy-to-use module format. Panasonic’s tiny footprint technology offers a module of only 85.5 mm2 including antenna.

Bluetooth Low Energy
Bluetooth Low Energy is designed to reduce power consumption. It can be put into a sleep mode and is only activated for event activities such as sending files to a gateway, PC or mobile phone. Furthermore, the maximum power consumption is set to less than 15 mA and the average power consumption is about 1 uA. The foundations of low energy consumption are short messages and establishing very fast connections (few ms). Using these techniques, energy consumption is reduced to a tenth of a Classic Bluetooth unit. Thus, a small coin cell – such as a CR2032 – is capable of powering a device for up to 10 years of operation.
Panasonic has two Bluetooth Low Energy module Series. The single mode, PAN1720 is a Bluetooth Smart device and the dual mode, PAN1316/PAN1326 family is Bluetooth Smart Ready. All Panasonic Bluetooth Low Energy modules are compatible with Apple® 4S iPhone® devices.

View AllFeatured Development Kit - PAN1323ETU Series
PAN1323ETU Triple Mode Simplifies the Development Environment - One development module, three standards: Bluetooth Classic, Bluetooth Low Energy and ANT™.
This unique triple mode ETU – that’s ETU for “Easy-To-Use” – module plugs directly into Panasonic development kits, Texas Instruments MSP430 and Stellaris experimenter boards with the added benefit of header connectors that simplify prototype wiring and field trials.
The PAN1323ETU is the development environment for the PAN13xx family*. This family is based upon Texas Instrument’s CC256x integrated circuits and uses a host controlled interface (HCI), a cost effective and flexible means to implement a Bluetooth network. HCI reduces BOM cost by eliminating redundant processing capacity and giving designers the flexibility to work with a controller of their choosing, as the Bluetooth stack resides and executes on the application’s host processor.
Bluetooth Low Energy and ANT are ultra-low power network standards. The foundations of Bluetooth Low Energy power consumption are short messages and establishing very fast connections (few ms). Using these techniques, energy consumption is reduced to a tenth of a Classic Bluetooth network. ANT is a wireless sensor network protocol operating in the 2.4 GHz spectrum, designed for ease of use, efficiency and scalability, ANT supports peer-to-peer, star, tree and fixed mesh topologies.
