The BDE-MB1354P101 is a multi-band (Sub-1GHz and 2.4GHz) and multi-protocol wireless module series based on Texas Instrument (TI)’s single-chip wireless microcontroller (MCU) CC1354P106T0RGZ. In order to fulfil different integration scenarios, BDE provides different variants for this module series. They are listed and described in Table 1.

The BDE-MB1354P101 module series integrates an Arm® Cortex®-M33 MCU, which supports Thread, Zigbee®, Bluetooth® 5.2 Low Energy, IEEE 802.15.4g, IPv6-enabled smart objects (6LoWPAN), mioty, Wi-SUN, Amazon Sidewalk, proprietary systems, including TI 15.4-Stack (Sub-1GHz and 2.4GHz), and concurrent multiprotocol through a Dynamic Multiprotocol Manager (DMM) driver. The module series is optimized for low-power wireless communication and advanced security features in building security systems, HVAC, smart meters, medical, wired networking, portable electronics, home theater & entertainment markets and connected peripherals markets.

The BDE-MB1354P101 supports operation in 861 to 1054-MHz, and 2360 to 2500-MHz frequency bands. PHY and frequency band switching can be done runtime through a dynamic multiprotocol manager (DMM) driver. It also has an efficient built-in PA that supports +20 dBm TX at Sub-1 GHz with 69 mA band which enable long range and low power applications.

The BDE-MB1354P101 module series has a low standby current of 0.98 μA with full RAM retention, which enables longer battery life wireless applications. It is featured with the Low SER (Soft Error Rate) FIT (Failure-in-time) for long operational lifetime with no disruption for industrial markets with always-on SRAM parity against corruption due to potential radiation events. The device also has an autonomous ultra-low power Sensor Controller CPU with fast wake-up capability. As an example, the sensor controller is capable of 1-Hz ADC sampling at 1-μA system current.

The module series has a dedicated software-controlled radio controller (Arm® Cortex®-M0) providing flexible low-power RF transceiver capability to support multiple physical layers and RF standards. The module series supports +20 dBm TX at Sub-1GHz band and +5 dBm TX at 2.4-GHz band. It has a receive sensitivity of -104 dBm for 125-kbps Bluetooth® Low Energy Coded PHY.

The module series integrates all required system-level hardware components including clocks, balun filter, other passives, and PCB trace antenna or U.FL connector into a small PCB form factor. It is for easy assembly and low-cost PCB design. 

The module series is pre-certified with FCC, ISED, CE and Bluetooth SIG to make easy integration and fast time-to-market for customers.
