Microchip RN42HID-I/RM Bluetooth Chip 2.1 UART Interface 3V-3.6V Operating Voltage RN42HID-I/RM

Microchip RN42HID-I/RM Bluetooth Chip 2.1 is a Class 2 Bluetooth module featuring an extended HID profile that enables control and programmability of various input devices such as game controllers, keyboards, and mice. This module also supports control of Apple devices including the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, providing a versatile solution for wireless human interface device applications.

The module operates in the 2.402 to 2.480GHz frequency range with 79 channels and delivers a maximum RF output power of +4dBm. It supports Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) for faster data communication with a data rate up to 3Mbps and receiver sensitivity of -86dBm, ensuring reliable wireless performance.

Host communication is handled via a serial UART interface with RTS/CTS flow control, facilitating seamless integration with host controllers. The RN42HID-I/RM module is powered by a low voltage supply between 3.0V and 3.6V, making it suitable for battery-powered and embedded systems. The device is designed to operate within a wide temperature range from -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for demanding industrial and commercial environments.

The embedded Bluetooth stack supports essential protocols such as GAP, SDP, RFCOMM, and L2CAP along with SPP and HID profiles. This enables versatile wireless communication for applications that require reliable and secure data transfer. The module also features AES-128 encryption for secure wireless communication.

The RN42HID-I/RM includes three modes of operation: Presenter Mode for controlling presentation software like Microsoft PowerPoint; Custom Mode allowing programming of pushbuttons to send custom key sequences; and Music Mode for controlling media playback functions including play, pause, track switching, and volume control.

Compact and lightweight, the module measures 25.8mm in length, 13.4mm in width, and 2mm in height, making it easy to integrate into various devices and enclosures.

Key application areas include cable replacement, barcode scanners, measurement and monitoring systems, industrial sensors and controls, medical devices, and remote controls. Its robust design and comprehensive feature set make it highly adaptable to a broad range of wireless human interface device projects in industrial, medical, and consumer electronics domains.
