PAN1783 Bluetooth Low-Energy Module

Panasonic PAN1783 is a Bluetooth 5.4 Low Energy (LE) module based on the Nordic nRF5340 single-chip controller. It is available with an on-board chip antenna and with a RF-bottom pad. The Bluetooth 5.4 features isochronous channels and LE audio. It supports high throughput of 2 Mbps, advertising extensions, and long range. The all-in-one SoC includes a superset of the most prominent nRF52 series features combined with more performance and memory while minimizing current consumption. An output power of up to 3 dBm and the improved sensitivity of the nRF5340 in combination with the LE coded PHY make the module very attractive for advanced computer peripherals and I/O devices, advanced wearables, and wireless audio devices. In addition, the ultra-low current consumption of the PAN1783 makes the module an ideal choice for battery powered-devices.

With two Cortex®-M33 processors, one as an application processor (with 128 MHz or 64 MHz operation, 512 kB RAM, and built-in 1 MB Flash memory) and the other one as a network processor (with 64 MHz operation, 64 kB RAM and 256 kB Flash), the PAN1783 can easily be used in standalone mode, thereby eliminating the need for an external processor, saving complexity, space, and cost. The rich set of security features from the Arm® TrustZone® CryptoCell™ 312 security subsystem provides the necessary means for secure device operation in the IoT space. The PAN1783 supports angle of arrival (AoA) and angle of departure (AoD) direction finding using Bluetooth. Additionally, the PAN1783 also supports Type 2 near field communication (NFC-A) for use in simplified pairing and payment solutions (external antenna required).

The PAN1783 series evaluation boards are available with either PAN1783 or PAN1783A series Bluetooth® 5.4 Low Energy module in Arduino form factor, based on the Nordic Semiconductor nrf5340 single-chip controller. Easily access different module interfaces like USB, UART, NFC, and GPIOs, making the evaluation board ideal for evaluating the module as well as rapid prototyping of products. All GPIOs are led out via pin headers, and the Arduino form factor allows the connection of shields available on the mass market.
