Communication organized in piconets– controlled by one master– up to 7 active slaves– 255 inactive (parked) slaves

Master-Slave– implements centralized control– synchronization of all slaves– only master-slave communication

Multiple piconets– separate channels– no coordination

Designing for Power Aware Operation

Features– optional switchable power supply for Bluetooth module– MCU with 6 power down modes, low idle/sleep current– frequency scaling: 7.3 MHz - 57 kHz

– single power supply (3.6 – 16 V), single internal voltage (3.3 V) – battery charge indicator– direct current access shunts for all components– internal Vcc available at every connector to power external

sensor modules
