Low-Power Integrated Bluetooth 4.1 BLE SIP Module with Wireless Charging
The Broadcom BCM20736S is a member of the
Broadcom low-power Bluetooth Smart module
family of solutions in the WICED portfolio. The
BCM20736S enables market-leading Bluetooth
Smart solutions at competitive price points and
lower power consumption than comparable
solutions on the market. Its powerful set of
features includes, among others, wireless
charging, capacitive switch, and PWM.
The BCM20736S Bluetooth Smart module
integrates key peripherals and components that
are commonly used in sensors, medical devices,
wearables, and other devices in the Internet of
Things (IOT) domain to enable more devices to
deliver an enhanced user experience at
affordable price points. With the addition of
wireless charging, the BCM20736S is first of its
kind to deliver a complete Bluetooth Smart
solution, including wireless charging, for
wearable devices.
The rising popularity of smartphones and
Bluetooth SMART READY devices and associated
Internet-based applications is driving more
diverse form factors and use cases in medicine,
fitness, entertainment, home and industrial
automation, toys, and wearables. As the
smartphone ecosystem evolves, it continues to
foster integrated connectivity between
peripherals and smart portable devices to
leverage smartphone capabilities and take
advantage of Web-based ubiquitous
connectivity.
The BCM20736S was created to enable a new
generation of Bluetooth SMART devices, with
support for wireless charging. With a smaller
size, a higher level of integration, and 65 nm
CMOS process technology, the BCM20736S
delivers lower power consumption than other
Bluetooth 4.1 solutions for longer battery life
and a more satisfying user experience.
•Compatible with Bluetooth SMART READY
host devic es .
•Complies with Bluetooth Core Specification
version 4.1.
•On-chip support for common keyboard and
mouse interfaces.
•Powerful ARM Cortex-M3 32-bit processor:
–Eliminates the need for an external
processor.
–Reduces overall bill of materials (BOM) cost
for wireless periphe ral prod uc t s.
–Offers significan tly higher MIP S.
–Supports advanced applications at lower
power than the 8-bit and 16-bit processors
offered by most competitive solutions.
•Full supp ort for wireless charging, in cluding
onboard support for A4WP and reference
designs for end-to-end charging solutions.
•Integrated programmable key-scan matrix inter-
face, with up to 5 × 5 key-scanning matrices
with configurable macro and micro debounce
along with built-in ghost detection.
•Superior rece iver sensitivit y maximize s the
range and coverage for Bluetooth peripherals.
•Supports UART, SPI, and I²C for interfacing to
external nonvolatile memories, peripheral ICs,
and sensors.
•On-chip, multichannel ADC for measuring
sensor inputs, battery level, and more.
•Onboard stack with several profiles embedded
into the ROM means no external stack is
required.
