Described as a ‘significant leap forward’ in Bluetooth technology at just 15.6 x 8.7 mm, the PAN1783 is one of the smallest nRF5340 module currently available in the market.
It is powered by the Nordic nRF5340 single-chip controller, with isochronous channels for LE audio support. This advanced module is available with both an on-board chip antenna and an RF-bottom pad, providing flexibility to suit various design requirements - CE RED, FCC, UKCA and ISED certificates are included.
Featuring Bluetooth 5.4 enhancements, including isochronous channels, LE audio, and support for high-throughput of 2 Mbps, advertising extensions, and long range, the PAN1783 delivers enhanced levels of performance. Its all-in-one System-on-Chip (SoC) design combines the features of the nRF52 Series with increased performance and memory, while minimising power consumption.
The improved sensitivity of the nRF5340, coupled with the LE coded PHY, makes the PAN1783 suitable for a wide range of applications, including advanced computer peripherals, I/O devices, wearables, and wireless audio devices. Moreover, its ultra-low current consumption means that it can be used for battery-powered devices, extending operational lifespans.
Equipped with two Cortex-M33 processors - one as an application processor and the other as a network processor - the PAN1783 eliminates the need for an external processor, simplifying design, reducing space requirements, and ultimately helps lowering costs for manufacturers.
The PAN1783 also supports angle of arrival (AoA) and angle of departure (AoD) direction finding, enhancing location-based services and applications - it also supports Type 2 Near Field Communication (NFC-A), facilitating simplified pairing and payment solutions when used with an external antenna.
