Overview

Description

SmartBond TINY™, the world’s smallest and lowest power Bluetooth® 5.1 System-on-Chip (SoC), brings down the cost of adding Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) in any system and takes mobile connectivity to places previously out of reach, triggering a wave of a billion IoT devices, all with SmartBond TINY at the heart.

The low system cost is achieved through the high level of integration in SmartBond TINY: A complete Bluetooth Low Energy system can be achieved with the addition of six tiny external passives, a crystal, and a power source. To lower the barrier of entry, SmartBond TINY is also available in an easy-to-use tiny module incorporating all the needed components, making the addition of Bluetooth Low Energy to any application a simple drop-in.

Record low hibernation and active power consumption ensure long operating and shelf life with even the tiniest, disposable batteries. Based on a powerful 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M0+ with integrated memories and a complete set of analog and digital peripherals, SmartBond TINY is extremely power efficient, delivering a record score of 18300 on the latest EEMBC benchmark for IoT connectivity, IoTMark™. The DA14530 is pin-for-pin compatible with the DA14531 in a 2.2mm x 3.0mm FCGQFN24 package and provides cost savings by operating from an internal LDO, eliminating the cost of a DC/DC inductor. Available in a tiny 2.0mm x 1.7mm package, the DA14531 is half the size of its predecessor or any offering from other leading manufacturers. And, it is complemented by a flexible software development kit (SDK) supporting major compilers such as Keil and GCC out of the box.

Features

  • Future proof, compliant with Bluetooth 5.1 (core)
  • Optimized for disposable products in connected medical, connected consumer
    • Designed to work with disposable, even printed batteries
    • Works well with smallest capacity batteries, <30mAh
    • Supports multiple years of shelf life
    • Inrush current can be limited for disposable batteries with high internal resistance
    • Package design allows for low-cost manufacturing with the smallest possible footprint
  • Only requiring a single 32MHz crystal
  • In bypass mode, no DC/DC inductor is required
  • No boost converter is required when working with 1.5V batteries
  • Production Line Tool for accelerated production ramp-up, resulting in faster time to market and shortest production test time per device

  1. External Flash Memory Requirement for DA14530

    I would like to inquire about the necessity of using an external Flash memory with the DA14530. Is it possible to operate the MCU without any external Flash, or is it required for proper functionality? I am aiming to design the smallest circuit possible, so if the use of external ...

  3. DA14530 software compatability

    Hi Dialog team   I see the resources for DA14530/14531 are shared. The only difference is supposed to be the DC-DC and nothing to do with the software. So I am assuming the SDK and software examples run on both even if, lets take the SmartBond - CodeLess AT ...
