Easy-to-Use Bluetooth Modules and SoCs

Adding Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) to your application can enhance your product’s capabilities and improve user experience. Unfortunately, working with wireless can be complex, costly and time-consuming.

If Bluetooth LE products were easier to use, you would feel confident about adding them to your application.

Our approach to wireless is simple—we remove as many barriers as possible so that you can focus on your design. This includes offering a robust selection of Bluetooth products and the supporting tools that help you move seamlessly from concept to prototype. Some of these tools include:

  • A large selection of easy-to-follow application examples
  • Mobile app source code for iOS® and Android™
  • Building block modules that walk you through creating a Bluetooth application

Is Bluetooth Right for Your Project?

Bluetooth LE Benefits

To determine if Bluetooth is right for your application, consider the following benefits.

Wide Adoption

Every modern smartphone supports Bluetooth LE. If your application needs to connect to a phone, Bluetooth is the way to go. Example applications include smart home devices, garage door openers and smart sensors.

Range

Although most applications require a shorter range, Bluetooth LE can maintain connections up to around 200 meters. This makes it a good choice for IoT applications.

Maturity

Bluetooth is a mature and well-defined specification, which makes it relatively easy to implement. Building a Bluetooth application from scratch is easy with our building blocks, even if you have no experience with wireless development.

Bluetooth's combination of smartphone connectivity, range and ease of development makes it a popular choice for application designers.

Mobile Apps

Most Bluetooth applications rely on a smartphone for interface functionality, so mobile apps have become an essential building block in these solutions. To reduce your application development time, we provide the Microchip Bluetooth Data (MBD) application and source code. Use as they are for rapid prototyping or build your own app using our source code as a starting point.

Prototype and Debug

The MBD app is a versatile tool that simplifies developing, testing and debugging Bluetooth LE applications. Its features such as data reading/writing, real-time visualization, Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates and detailed logging help ensure your Bluetooth application is working as intended and ready for deployment.
