Even Faster Time to Market
While these SoCs help users overcome many design and
integration challenges, creating a solution using these
devices calls for resources that some organizations may not
have or be able to access. For these situations, a module
such as the STM32WB5MMG integrates the wireless SoC
with all the external components needed for the radio
system, including the antenna, matching and filtering
network, and timing crystals. The module is then certified
in accordance with regional legislations such as FCC, CE,
and RoHS, in addition to being certified according to the
Bluetooth SIG requirements. This approach eliminates many
hardware design headaches and saves certification costs
for product developers, helping accelerate time to market
for the end product.
Using either of these approaches allows access to the
STM32Cube ecosystem, which includes code samples,
middleware, and tools to assist software development.
Available resources include the STM32CubeMX
MCU configurator, which also provides utilities for
clock configuration and power estimation, and the
STM32CubeMonRF radio performance tester for STM32WB
and STM32WBA devices. It provides help to build test
scripts, control the STM32WB and STM32WBA SoC, and
visualize performance to help developers reach their desired
targets.
Ahead of forthcoming European and US legislation on cyber
resilience, ST's Bluetooth SoCs are ready to demonstrate
compliance, including certification according to the
demanding GlobalPlatform Security Evaluation Standard for
IoT Platforms (SESIP) Level 3 specifications.
Aided by the extensive choice of wireless SoCs, modules,
and development tools, and with the assurance of leading-
edge security compliance, product developers can leverage
the strengths that have made Bluetooth Low Energy such a
success in their next-generation IoT products.
