FSC-BT691

FSC-BT691 is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.1 Module featuring a 2.4 GHz transceiver and an ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller with 48 kB of RAM and 32 kB of One-Time Programmable (OTP) memory. It serves both as a standalone application processor and a data pump in hosted systems. Its low active RF and MCU current consumption, along with low-power mode operation, ensure extended battery life suitable for small coin cell and energy-harvesting applications. The module supports comprehensive BLE firmware including L2CAP, Security Manager (SM), Attribute Protocol (ATT), Generic Attribute Profile (GATT), and Generic Access Profile (GAP), accommodating all Bluetooth SIG profiles and custom profiles. It is designed for a wide range of applications including disposables, wireless sensor nodes, beacons, proximity tags, trackers, smart HID devices like styluses, keyboards, mice, and trackpads, as well as toys, and medical and industrial applications.
