Product Summary NINA-B30 series Stand-alone Bluetooth 5 low energy modules Standard Full Bluetooth 5 with powerful MCU and worldwide certifications Full Bluetooth 5, Bluetooth mesh, 802.15.4 Thread, and Zigbee Powerful open CPU for advanced customer applications Professional Hardware optimized for performance and low power consumption Pin compatible with other NINA modules Superior security functionality Automotive Multiple antenna options 10.0 11.6 2.2 mm 10.0 15.0 3.8 mm 10.0 15.0 2.2 mm Grade Product description Automotive Professional The NINA-B30 series are small, stand-alone Bluetooth low Standard energy microcontroller unit (MCU) modules. NINA-B30 fea- Radio tures full Bluetooth 5, a powerful Arm Cortex-M4 with FPU, Bluetooth qualification v5.0 v5.0 v5.0 and state-of-the-art power performance. The embedded low Bluetooth profiles G G G power crystal in NINA-B30 improves the power consumption Bluetooth output power EIRP 10 10 10 dBm by enabling optimal power save modes. Max range meters 1400 1400 1400 Both variants are open CPU modules that enable customer applications to run on the built-in Arm Cortex-M4 with FPU. NFC for Touch to Pair With 1 MB flash and 256 kB RAM, they offer the best-in-class Antenna type p i b capacity for customer applications on top of the Bluetooth Application software low energy stack. Applications can include Bluetooth low Open CPU for embedded energy services such as GATT, beacons, and mesh. Addition- customer applications Interfaces ally, the modules support NFC, 802.15.4 with Thread and UART ZigBee. The modules have a range of wired interfaces, includ- SPI 2 2 ing UART, SPI, I C, I S, USB, QDEC, PDM, PWM, and ADC. 2 I C NINA-B30 caters to applications in smart buildings, smart 2 I S cities, and the Industry 4.0, including smart lighting systems, USB industrial sensor networks, asset tracking solutions, and GPIO pins 38 38 38 building automation systems. AD converters (ADC) NINA-B302 comes with an internal PIFA antenna, NINA-B306 Features comes with an internal PCB antenna, while NINA-B301 has GATT server and client a pin for use with an external antenna. The internal PIFA an- Throughput Mbit/s 1.4 1.4 14 tenna is specifically designed for the small NINA form factor Maximum Bluetooth 20 20 20 and provides an extensive range, independent of ground connections plane and component placement. The internal PCB antenna Secure boot provides a robust low profile solution with high performance. Mesh networking The NINA-B30 series is globally certified for use with the FOTA internal antenna or a range of external antennas. This greatly p = Antenna pin = Feature enabled by HW.
