BLE32PN260SH1L - Murata Electronics

BLE32PN260SH1L Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended antenna design for optimal performance?
  Murata recommends a 15mm x 15mm ceramic antenna or a 25mm x 10mm PCB antenna with a 50Ω impedance. The antenna should be placed at least 10mm away from the module's edges to ensure optimal performance.
• How do I configure the module's power modes to minimize power consumption?
  The BLE32PN260SH1L has three power modes: Active, Sleep, and Deep Sleep. To minimize power consumption, use the Deep Sleep mode (typically 0.5μA) when the module is not transmitting or receiving data. Use the Sleep mode (typically 1.5mA) when the module is idle but needs to wake up quickly. Configure the power modes using the module's API or AT commands.
• What is the maximum transmission distance of the BLE32PN260SH1L module?
  The maximum transmission distance of the BLE32PN260SH1L module depends on the environment and the antenna design. In ideal conditions, the module can achieve a transmission distance of up to 100 meters (330 feet) with a 0dBm transmit power. However, in practice, the distance may be shorter due to obstacles, interference, and antenna design limitations.
• How do I implement secure data transmission using the BLE32PN260SH1L module?
  The BLE32PN260SH1L module supports Bluetooth 5.0, which includes security features like encryption, authentication, and secure connections. Implement secure data transmission by using the module's built-in encryption and authentication mechanisms, such as AES-128 encryption and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). Additionally, use secure protocols like Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) or Bluetooth Secure Connections (BSC) to ensure end-to-end encryption.
• What are the operating temperature and humidity limits for the BLE32PN260SH1L module?
  The BLE32PN260SH1L module is rated for operation in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F) and humidity up to 90% RH (relative humidity). However, it's recommended to operate the module within a temperature range of -20°C to +70°C (-4°F to +158°F) and humidity below 80% RH to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
