'World's smallest' Bluetooth module now shipping

  • Bluetooth module

Murata has started shipping what it claims to be the smallest Bluetooth module in the world, and 30% smaller than the company's previous version.

The latest version of its LBMA series Bluetooth module is 3.5 by 3.5 by 1mm and has been produced to respond to the market's demand for smaller products. The LBMA43PQN module incorporates the company's proprietary ceramic substrate, high frequency design/evaluation technologies, and miniaturisation technology.

The module uses Bluetooth Ver2.1+EDR, with sensitivity of -79dBm, output power 0dBm (class 2) and requires a supply voltage of 3.3V. According to Murata, the LBMA series is suitable for mobile phones, portable media players, digital photo frames and other mobile internet devices.
