Complete low energy solution The nRF8001 connectivity-on-chip solution The nRF8001 is the first member of Nordic Semiconductor`s µBlue family of solutions. It is designed to be used in conjunc- tion with an external running the application. The nRF8001 integrates a complete PHY, Link Controller and Host single mode Bluetooth RF Silicon Software Reference Design Development Tools low energy subsystem and features a simple SPI based interface to the application microcontroller. Qualified profiles, APIs and example application PRODUCT BRIEF are provided as part of the µBlue SDK which is easily portable to a range of different application . This system segmentation allows the nRF8001 to be used with the best-fit microcontroller for a specific applica- tion as well as ease integration and end product qualification as application and protocol stack does not share the same microcontroller.

KEY FEATURES

• Bluetooth Specification v4.0 compliant single mode low energy solution • Complete PHY, Link Controller and Host subsystem Optimized single mode slave solution • Profiles and example applications provided in µBlue SDK Bluetooth low energy features • Cost and power optimized for slave operation The nRF8001 is a cost and power optimized solution for single mode slave • Simple SPI based Application Controller Interface (ACI) applications such as sports, healthcare and automation sensors, watches, • Full Link Controller and Host security remote controls, proximity tags and mobile phone peripherals. The on-chip • 1.9 to 3.6V operation • Linear voltage regulator protocol stack provides a full slave role support, encryption, client and • Step-down DC/DC voltage regulator providing up to server protocols, just works security, all mandatory client and server profile 20% peak current reduction features as well as direct test mode for PHY qualification. • Sub 14mA peak current with linear voltage regulator • Supports sub 10µA average current operation nRF8001 protocol stack • 16MHz crystal oscillators • Supports low cost external 16MHz crystals • Ultra low power 32kHz crystal and RC oscillators • Support operation without external 32kHz crystal • Battery voltage monitor • Temperature sensor • RoHS compliant 5x5mm 32-pin QFN package

APPLICATIONS

• Sports and fitness sensors • Healthcare and medical sensors • Continua™ Version Two certified products • Remote controls Designed for coin cell battery operation • Watches Sub 14mA peak, micro ampere range average currents • Mobile phone peripherals The nRF8001 has been designed from scratch to meet the stringent peak • Automation sensors current requirements of standard coin cell batteries like CR2032 where total • Proximity tags peak current is advised to be below 20mA at any time. Using the on-chip linear regulator the nRF8001 has a peak current below 14mA, thus provid- ing a valuable headroom for the application microcontroller. Depending on the application and profile nRF8001 can support average currents below 10µA, enabling years of battery lifetime on standard coin cell batteries.
