Description
The SPBTLE-RF0 is an easy to use Bluetooth®
Low Energy network processor module,
compliant with Bluetooth v4.1. The SPBTLE-RF0
module supports multiple roles simultaneously,
and can act at the same time as Bluetooth Low
Energy master and slave device.
The entire Bluetooth Low Energy stack and
protocols are embedded into SPBTLE-RF0
module. The external host application processor,
where the application resides, is connected to the
SPBTLE-RF0 module through a standard SPI
interface.
The SPBTLE-RF0 module provides a complete
RF platform in a tiny form factor. Radio, antenna
and high frequency oscillators are integrated to
offer a certified solution to optimize the time to
market of the final applications.
The SPBTLE-RF0 can be powered directly with a
pair of AAA batteries or any power source from
1.7 to 3.6 V.

General description
The SPBTLE-RF0 is a Bluetooth Low Energy network processor module compliant with
Bluetooth
®
v4.1.
The SPBTLE-RF0 module integrates the BlueNRG-MS BT radio controller with an on-
board power-optimized Bluetooth stack.
It supports:
Both master and slave roles
GAP: central, peripheral, observer or broadcaster roles
ATT/GATT: client and server
SM: privacy, authentication and authorization
L2CAP
The BlueNRG-MS radio embeds nonvolatile Flash memory which allows on-field stack
upgrading.
In accordance with Bluetooth specification v4.1, the SPBTLE-RF0 module supports:
Multiple simultaneous roles
Simultaneous advertising and scanning
Acting as slave for up to two masters simultaneously
Privacy V1.1
Low duty cycle directed advertising
Connection parameter request procedure
LE Ping
32 bits UUIDs
L2CAP connection oriented channels
Both standard and proprietary Bluetooth low energy profiles, as well as a wide set of
examples are available for the SPBTLE-RF0 from the ST website.
The external host application processor where the application resides is interfaced with the
SPBTLE-RF0 module through an application controller interface protocol based on a
standard SPI interface.
With the SPBTLE-RF0 module, developers can enable wireless connectivity in electronic
devices without requiring any RF experience or expertise for integration into the final
product. The SPBTLE-RF0 module provides a complete RF platform in a tiny form factor
(13.5 x 11.5 x 2 mm) and, being a certified solution, optimizes the time to market of the final
applications.
The SPBTLE-RF0 module allows applications to meet the tight peak current requirements
when using standard coin cell batteries. SPBTLE-RF0 can be powered directly from a
standard 3 V coin cell battery, a pair of AAA batteries or any power source from 1.7 to 3.6
V.
ST may update the FW provided with the modules at any time. ST recommends that users
regularly check for documentation and the current FW version available at
www.st.com/bluemodules.
