Overview
The US159-DA14535EVZ Bluetooth® Low Energy Pmod™ board enables users to add low power Bluetooth capability to any evaluation kit or microcontroller board equipped with a Pmod expansion capability. The board provides a standard Pmod Type 3A (Expanded UART) connection for the onboard Bluetooth 5.3 module.
The US159-DA14535EVZ features a Type 3A Pmod connector and incorporates the DA14535 SmartBond TINY™ Module, based on the world’s smallest and lowest power Bluetooth 5.3 System-on-Chip (SoC). Thanks to the standard connector and software support, the US159-DA14535EVZ is ideal for Renesas' QuickConnect platform to rapidly create an IoT system.
