Description SPBT2532C2.AT2
1 Description
The SPBT2532C2.AT2 is an easy to use Bluetooth module, compliant with Bluetooth v2.1 +
EDR.
The module is the smallest form factor available which provides a complete RF platform.
The SPBT2532C2.AT2 enables electronic devices with wireless connectivity, not requiring
any RF experience or expertise for integration into the final product. The SPBT2532C2.AT2
module, being a certified solution, optimizes the time to market of the final application.
The module is designed for maximum performance in the minimum possible size including
fast speed UART and 4 general purpose I/O lines, several serial interface options, and up to
1.5 Mbps data throughput.
The SPBT2532C2.AT2 is a surface mount PCB module that provides fully embedded,
ready-to-use Bluetooth wireless technology. The reprogrammable Flash memory contains
embedded firmware for serial cable replacement using the Bluetooth SPP profile.
Embedded Bluetooth AT2 command firmware is a friendly interface, which realizes a simple
control for cable replacement, enabling communication with most Bluetooth enabled
devices, provided that the devices support the SPP profile. The SPBT2532C2.AT2,
supporting iAP profile, provides communication with Android
iOS Bluetooth enabled devices.
™
, smartphones, and Apple®
An Apple authentication IC is required to exchange data with an Apple device or access an
Apple device application. The AT2 FW includes the Bluetooth SPP profile capable of
recognizing the Apple authentication chip.
Customers using the Apple authentication IC must register as developers to become an
Apple certified MFI member. License fees may apply, for additional information visit:
