SiP Module Data Sheet
The BGM121/BGM123 Blue Gecko
Bluetooth
®
SiP Module family is targeted for appli-
cations where ultra-small size, reliable high performance RF, low-power consumption
and easy application development are key requirements.
At 6.5 x 6.5 x 1.4 mm the BGM121/BGM123 module fits applications where size is a con-
straint. BGM121/BGM123 also integrates a high performance, ultra robust antenna,
which requires minimal PCB, plastic and metal clearance. The total PCB area required
by BGM121/BGM123 is only 51 mm
2
. The BGM121/BGM123 has Bluetooth, CE, partial
FCC, ISED Canada and Japan certifications.
The BGM121/BGM123 also integrates a
Bluetooth
4.2 compliant Bluetooth stack and it
can also run end-user applications on-board or alternatively used as a network co-pro-
cessor over one of the host interfaces.
BGM121/BGM123 SIP modules can be used in a wide variety of applications:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Wearables
IoT end devices and gateways
Health, sports and wellness devices
Industrial, home and building automation
Smart phone, tablet and PC accessories
Beacons
