1. N5 ANT SoC Module Series
Based on Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF51422 SoC, the N5 ANT SoC module series offers support for both ANT®
and Bluetooth® low energy and enables both protocols to run concurrently, depending on the loaded protocol
stack.
The N5 ANT SoC module series starts with N548M8CB in a 14.0mm x 9.8mm x 2.0mm LGA (Land Array Grid)
package. A compact design meeting the market requirements for small, light and wearable, the N548M8CB is a
turnkey system hardware solution including antenna, onboard 32k and 16M crystal clocks, DC-DC converter and 24
GPIOs with 6 analogue inputs.
Nordic Semiconductor protocol stacks, also known as SoftDevices, are pre-compiled, pre-linked binary files, which
are downloadable from the Nordic Semiconductor’s web site and can be programmed onto the N5 ANT SoC
module series. The N548 modules are pre-programmed with the S210 SoftDevice (ANT 8-channel protocol stack)
and ANT network processor application reference code in order to function as a legacy ANT RF module when
connected to an application controller. Both pre-programmed images can be easily replaced via the onboard SWD
interface pins using off-the-shelf ARM programming tools.
Pin compatible options to the 20mm x 20mm AP2 or C7 modules from Dynastream are also available. In these
options, N548M8CB modules are soldered on carrier boards that are pin compatible to the previous modules.
Current AP2 or C7 module customers can easily use these models to evaluate the hardware and upgrade their final
products.
The N5 module series if loaded with ANT and/or BLUETOOTH Low energy stack has been certified to comply with
radio regulation or standards covering major markets include North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and
Japan. The N5 ANT SoC modules series has also been qualified by the BLUETOOTH SIG.
