RN42XVP-I/RM RF/IF and RFID

The RN42XVP-I/RM is an easy-to-use and low-cost Bluetooth miniature transceiver module designed for short-range wireless data communication applications. It is part of the family of RF Transceiver Modules and is widely used in Bluetooth smart applications.

The RN42XVP-I/RM has an integrated Bluetooth Smart Ready RF transceiver IC and a PCB antenna, making it ideal for applications that require high-performance wireless communication. The connection interface includes a UART, I2C, and SPI serial interface; general purpose I/O (GPIO) lines; as well as power management features. It also features a sleep and deep-sleep mode with an ultra-low power consumption, making it perfect for low-power applications.

The RN42XVP-I/RM supports Bluetooth 4.2 and is backwards-compatible with Bluetooth 4.1, 4.0, and 2.1 + EDR, providing a reliable data transmission range of up to 30 meters (where 20 meters is typical). It uses Class 1 power output and supports up to 8 simultaneous connections.

In addition, the RN42XVP-I/RM has an on-board chip antenna, allowing the module to be used in both short-range and long-range applications. The module also features an ultra-small size of just 6mm x 10mm, making it easy to incorporate into small designs.

The RN42XVP-I/RM is designed to operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. It is compliant with the Bluetooth Core Specification Version 4.2, which includes both Bluetooth Smart Ready and Bluetooth Low Energy protocols and is based on the Texas Instruments CC2542 single-chip solution. This module provides an industry-standard Bluetooth protocol stack and can be easily integrated into many microprocessor-based systems.

The RN42XVP-I/RM is simple to setup and use. It includes a comprehensive AT command set for easy configuration and data transfer. It is also designed to reduce power consumption and has a low-power monitor that can be used to detect an idle connection, which allows the module to enter sleep mode when inactive.

The RN42XVP-I/RM module is ideal for applications that require short-range and low-power wireless communication. It is a cost-effective solution for applications such as home automation, remote control, sensing devices, sports and healthcare products, and many more.
