STMicroelectronics STBLC01 Bluetooth
Low Energy Controller

STMicroelectronics STBLC01 Bluetooth Low Energy Controller is a very low power Bluetooth low energy (BLE) controller compliant with Bluetooth specification 4.0. The STBLC01 integrates a low power physical layer, a link layer with an embedded security engine, a host controller interface (HCI), and a power management. The STBLC01 allows the meeting of the tight advisable peak current requirements imposed by the use of standard coin cell batteries, and even in worst-case operating conditions 13 mA is the maximum current that is drawn from the input voltage source. Yet ultra low power sleep modes and very short transition time between operating modes allow a very low average current consumption to be achieved, which results in longer battery life. The STBLC01 offers the possibility of interfacing with several external microcontrollers using either UART or SPI as the transport layer for HCI communications.
