BMD-330
Bluetooth 5
Overview
Rigado’s BMD-330 is a powerful, highly flexible, ultra-low power
Bluetooth 5 module based on the nRF52810 SoC from Nordic
Semiconductor. Featuring a common footprint, the BMD-330
completes Rigado’s BMD-300
Series lineup with an optimized
peripheral set that is attractive for a wide range of cost-sensitive
applications.
The BMD-330 provides a complete RF solution allowing faster time-to-
market with reduced development cost and provides full use of the
nRF52810’s capabilities and peripherals. With an internal DC-DC
converter and intelligent power control the BMD-330 provides class-
leading power efficiency, enabling ultra-low power sensitive
applications. Carrying FCC, IC and CE certifications and Bluetooth
qualification, the BMD-330 is ready to implement right away.

Evaluation Kit
The BMD-330 evaluation kit provides a great starting point
for Bluetooth 5 Low Energy projects. It is designed for ease
of use while still providing full access to the features of the
BMD-330. The built-in USB programmer allows for easy
programming and configuration. All the I/O are accessible
and Arduino R3 form factor connectors support plug-and-
play accessory shields.
