Dialog Introduces Simplified Module That Adds BLE Functionality to IoT Systems

Dialog Semiconductor announced availability of a software module designed to reduce the cost of adding Bluetooth connectivity to an IoT system. The DA14531 SmartBond Tiny module targets connected consumer, medical, smart home and smart appliance applications. The module's software eliminates complexity associated with traditional Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) development to help customers develop “robust IoT products regardless of their software coding capabilities,” said the company. The DA14531, which integrates an antenna and required components, adds BLE functionality to an IoT system at a volume cost of under $1.
