The iVativ Reno module is based on the Nordic nRF52840 SoC and supports Bluetooth 5.0, Thread/ZigBee/ANT and NFC-A. By integrating all relevant analog front-ends, antennas and crystals, the small form factor (10 x 1.5 x 1.5 mm) and a particularly low power consumption, it reduces system costs with high design flexibility. Advanced security features, integrated wireless stacks, network stacks and application APIs reduce the load on the host processor and further reduce development costs and time-to-market. It is suitable for smart home applications, asset trackers and location devices, smart fitness devices, healthcare systems, IIoT sensors and control, and mobile payments.
Reno ensures a secure connection and data protection through Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 (BLE) and supports UART and SPI as interfaces to the user's MCU. The module is FCC, IC and CE certified.
iVativ uses an ARM CryptoCell 310 crypto accelerator and AES 128-bit encryption. Thanks to APIs and AT commands, the module can be used on all common MCUs with little or no porting effort. The component seamlessly integrates RTOS or bare metal-based user applications and is independent of the SoC/chipset and the corresponding SDKs/firmware. A secure boot process can also be guaranteed.
Reno is available with either an integrated PCB antenna or an MHF4 antenna connector. iVativ also offers matching development kits.
The multiprotocol module operates without any problems in a temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C and a humidity of 5 to 90 % and is therefore also suitable for industrial environments. Firmware updates are possible via OTA DFU.
