Description

The EByte E104-BT5032A is a highly integrated 2.4GHz wireless module designed for developers requiring robust Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity. Its core is the Nordic Semiconductor Semiconductor nRF52832 system-on-chip, which combines an ARM Cortex-M4F processor with a multi-protocol radio capable of BLE 4.0, 4.2, and 5.0. This architecture enables efficient data handling and advanced wireless features like longer range and higher throughput modes defined in BLE 5.0.

Power management is a key focus, with the module supporting a wide supply voltage from 1.7V to 3.6V and featuring deep sleep modes to minimize current draw in battery-powered deployments. The onboard ceramic antenna is impedance-matched at 50Ω and provides a stable RF link with a transmit power of +4dBm, eliminating the need for external antenna components and simplifying PCB design. The module communicates via a simple UART interface, making it easy to integrate with host microcontrollers for data relay, iBeacon broadcasting, or building custom mesh networks.

Key Features

  • Nordic Semiconductor nRF52832 SoC provides a powerful Cortex-M4F core with FPU for complex BLE application logic.
  • Full Bluetooth 5.0 support enables features like 2Mbps PHY for faster data transfer and improved range.
  • Integrated ceramic antenna offers a compact, no-hassle RF solution with good gain and omni-directional pattern.
  • Ultra-wide operating voltage range (1.7V-3.6V) allows direct compatibility with coin cell batteries and regulated 3.3V systems.
  • Industrial temperature rating (-40°C to +85°C) ensures reliable operation in demanding outdoor and industrial settings.
  • UART (TTL) interface simplifies communication, allowing AT command sets or transparent data pass-through to a host MCU.
  • Small form factor (11.6mm x 16mm) is designed for space-constrained products like wearables and compact sensor tags.

Applications

  • iBeacon/Eddystone proximity beacons for retail, museums, and indoor navigation.
  • Wireless sensor nodes for industrial monitoring (temperature, humidity, vibration).
  • Smart home and wearable devices requiring low-power BLE connectivity.
  • Asset tracking tags and personnel safety monitors in logistics and healthcare.
  • HMI interfaces and remote controls for consumer electronics and IoT gadgets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What development tools can I use to program the E104-BT5032A module?

You can develop firmware using Nordic Semiconductor's nRF5 SDK and Segger Embedded Studio, or use the Arduino IDE with community-supported boards packages for the nRF52 series. For BLE profile configuration, Nordic Semiconductor's nRF Connect for Desktop provides essential tools for testing, debugging, and managing services and characteristics without deep coding.

How do I communicate with the module via its UART interface?

Connect the module's TXD and RXD pins to your host microcontroller's UART RX and TX pins at 3.3V logic levels. Power the module between 1.7V and 3.6V. Many firmware examples use AT commands over this serial link; you'll need to set the correct baud rate (e.g., 9600, 115200) as defined in your chosen firmware or SDK example code for reliable data exchange.

Can I replace the integrated ceramic antenna with an external antenna?

No, the E104-BT5032A module features a permanently integrated and impedance-matched ceramic antenna. The RF trace is not designed for an external connector. For designs requiring a different antenna pattern or placement, consider EByte modules that offer IPEX connectors or select a different variant at the procurement stage.

What is the typical power consumption in advertising and connected states?

Power consumption depends heavily on advertising interval, connection parameters, and transmit power. Using BLE 5.0 with extended advertising intervals can achieve average currents in the microamp range for long battery life. Refer to the Nordic Semiconductor nRF52832 datasheet for detailed current figures under specific radio and CPU operating modes to accurately model your application's battery runtime.
