The BGM12x series of bluetooth low energy system-in-package (SiP) modules with a built-in chip antenna from Silicon Labs are ideal for fitness wearables, smartwatches, personal medical devices, wireless sensor nodes and other space-constrained connected devices. The BGM12x module provides an all-in-one Bluetooth connectivity solution integrating an ARM Cortex-M4 processor, high-output Bluetooth power amplifier, high-efficiency onboard antenna, external antenna options, oscillators and passives, along with a reliable, secure Bluetooth 4.2 stack and best-in-class development tools.
These modules are available with different transmit output power options, from 3 dBm (BGM123) to 8 dBm (BGM121) and have a range up to 200 meters. They are available in a tiny 6.5 mm x 6.5 mm x 1.4 mm package with an antenna clearance area up to 51 mm2 and are pre-certified for use in key global markets. All application code can be executed on the BGM12x module, eliminating the need for an external MCU.
