Easy, fast and affordable low-power RF design with BlueNRG-2 and S2-LP

 

Who should attend this workshop?

  • Engineers interested in understanding the capabilities of BlueNRG-2 and/or S2-LP 
  • Developers looking for a way to achieve the best low-power RF implementation
  • Developers seeking to create innovative and efficient connected applications

Achieve outstanding RF design with BlueNRG-x and S2LP

During this one-day hands-on training seminar, we will present ST’s innovative BlueNRG-2 and S2-LP RF products, and demonstrate how to use ST’s rich set of dedicated development tools to achieve an optimal RF design while also reducing development time and effort.

You will learn:

  • About the BlueNRG-2 and S2-LP features and capabilities
  • Which ST device is best suited for your RF design
  • How to select the right tool from our RF development ecosystem to help with your project

The seminar is based on the BlueNRG and/or S2-LP Discovery Kit. All attendees will receive a complimentary Discovery Kit that they can take home!

Product detail

Bluetooth® low energy wireless system-on-chip

The BlueNRG-2 is a very low power Bluetooth low energy (BLE) single-mode system-on-chip, compliant with Bluetooth specifications.

The BlueNRG-2 extends the features of award-winning BlueNRG network processor, enabling the usage of the embedded Cortex M0 to run the user application code.

The BlueNRG-2 offers the same excellent RF performance of the BlueNRG radio, and the integrated high efficiency DC-DC converter keeps the same ultra-low power characteristics, but the BlueNRG-2 improves the BlueNRG sleep mode current consumption allowing a further increase in the battery lifetime of the applications.
 

S2-LP, ultra-low power, high performance, sub-1GHz transceiver

The S2-LP is a high performance ultra-low power RF transceiver, intended for RF wireless applications in the sub-1 GHz band. It is designed to operate in both the license-free ISM and SRD frequency bands at 433, 512, 868 and 920 MHz, but can also be programmed to operate at other additional frequencies in the 413-479 MHz, 452-527 MHz, 826-958 MH, 904-1055 MHz bands. 

The S2-LP can be used in systems with channel spacing down to 1 kHz enabling the narrow band operations.

The S2-LP shows an RF link budget higher than 140 dB for long communication ranges and meets the regulatory requirements applicable in territories worldwide, including Europe, Japan, China and the USA.
