BLE32PN260SZ1L - Murata Electronics

BLE32PN260SZ1L Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended antenna design for optimal performance?
  Murata recommends using 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 BLE32PN260SZ1L has three power modes: Sleep, Standby, and Active. To minimize power consumption, use the Sleep mode (typically 1.5μA) when the module is not transmitting or receiving data. Use the Standby mode (typically 50μA) when the module is waiting for a connection. The Active mode (typically 5mA) is used for data transmission and reception.
• What is the maximum transmission power of the module?
  The BLE32PN260SZ1L has a maximum transmission power of +5dBm (3.16mW). However, the actual transmission power can be adjusted using the module's software development kit (SDK) to comply with regional regulations and optimize power consumption.
• Can I use the module with a non-Murata antenna?
  Yes, but Murata recommends using their certified antennas to ensure optimal performance and compliance with regulatory requirements. If you choose to use a non-Murata antenna, ensure it meets the module's impedance and radiation pattern requirements, and perform thorough testing to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
• How do I implement firmware updates for the module?
  Firmware updates can be performed using the module's UART interface and a dedicated firmware update tool provided by Murata. The tool allows you to upload new firmware images to the module. It's essential to follow Murata's guidelines and recommendations for firmware updates to avoid bricking the module.
