The DA14585-00000ATREXDB-P is the Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) range extender daughterboard for the DA14585 Pro Development Kit's (DA14585DEVKT-P) motherboard.
By combining Renesas' best-in-class Bluetooth Low Energy chips with a high-efficiency RF Power Amplifier front-end module, our range extender offers users optimal range without compromising on power consumption and data rate. Renesas' SmartBond™ DA14585 range extender kit allows the range of Bluetooth LE communications to be increased in software-selectable steps without compromising on data rate and maintain best-in-class overall power consumption. The resulting solution meets all Bluetooth Low Energy and regulatory requirements.
The range extender daughterboard is provided as an optional extra for the DA14585 Pro Development Kit, featuring the Skyworks SKY66111 discrete power amplifier. The optimized board design allows output power to be scaled by software in 2dBm steps from +0dBm to +9.3dBm (enough for whole-house coverage indoors). So system developers have the freedom to balance range and overall power consumption. Crucially, the solution maintains the standard Bluetooth Low Energy data rate. It can also be powered from a single coin cell ensuring the smallest systems.
