BL620 Series
Central Mode BLE Module Featuring
smart
BASIC
The BL600 Series modules from Laird
have been enhanced with the addition
of the BL620 part numbers. The
BL620 uses the same module
hardware as the BL600 but has a new
firmware supporting Central mode connectivity.
The BL620 makes it easy to add single-mode Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), also
known as Bluetooth Smart™, to small, portable, power-conscious devices,
including those powered by AAA or coin cell batteries.
The unique feature of this module is
smart
BASIC, an event-driven programming
language that enables standalone operation of the module.
smart
BASIC on BL620
enables wireless connections to peripheral devices that are in turn connected to
sensors so that the data can be collected via GATT operations.
smart
BASIC has
been proven to speed time to market and significantly simplifies BLE integration
for embedded devices.
Based on the award winning Nordic Semiconductor nRF51822 chipset, BL620
modules provide exceptionally low power consumption with outstanding wireless
range, all within a compact footprint of 19 mm x 12.5 mm. The modules
incorporate all the hardware and firmware required to support development of
BLE Central mode applications, including:
Radio hardware
UART, SPI, I2C, ADC, and GPIO interfaces for connecting peripherals and
sensors
A complete BLE software stack
Central role functionality with GATT client and server
-
Ability to connect up to four simultaneous connections
Custom Services to suit any application’s needs

The BL620-US USB Dongle has been developed to take advantage of the BL620
module, providing the ability to add BLE Central Mode capabilities to Windows
operating systems supporting a USB interface and virtual COM port. The control
and configuration is via a standard virtual COM port and
smart
BASIC. The dongle
provides the ability to load smartBASIC applications over the air (OTA) to a BL600
peripheral mode module.
In addition to carrying FCC modular, IC, and CE approvals, BL620 modules are
fully qualified as a Bluetooth End Products, enabling designers to integrate the
modules in devices without the need for further Bluetooth Qualification testing.
Customers can use the DVK-BL600 series low-cost developer’s kit including simple
software tools to develop with the BL620 central mode firmware.
