Reliability Test Report-Nordic nRF52833 Module (MDBT50Q Series)

What is Reliability Test? Why it is important?

Reliability test is the measure which helps to predict future behavior during a period of usage of the product, component or material. In combination with the measurement of relevant parameters and the use of appropriate test methods, reliability test helps to ensure the function and qualify of the product or feature can perform as designated. 

Nowadays, Bluetooth module has become the most important key part within whole IoT system, It is not only controlling the connection but also computing. Raytac understood how critical the module need to perform in the system no matter commercial or industrial applications. Therefore, Raytac conduct the reliability testing plans for all series modules in order to ensure all the module‘s duration can meet design request.

The Reliability test is following JASO D001-94, Clause 5.12, and testings are under below 3 environments.

1. Low temperature maintain test under -40℃ and last for 72hr
2. High temperature maintain test under 105℃ and last for 72hr
3. Thermal shock testing under -40℃~105℃

Raytac's modules have been recorded No data loss over Total 252,979,200 bytes communication during the test. The perfect result proof not only IC but also all components in the module are qualified to work for you!

The detail of the test report can be found and download from Raytac's Website Support Page.

Module Design Resource: 2D/3D/Footprint/Reflow/KeepOut Area Design Guide

 With Internet of Things (IoT) technology being the talk of the town for years, Bluetooth obviously has become the most important solutions for short and middle range device connection. 

     Raytac Corporation, a specialized module maker, adapted Nordic solution among various solution providers, developed a rage of modules with different form factors, antenna options and feature capabilities to optimize and simplify the design and development experience. By this comprehensive product line provided, project feasibility would never be the challenge for all developers.

    The pertinent support need out of projects Raytac has been experienced is the accessibility of module design reference, in term of 2D (autocad), 3D (Step / ProE), footprint, reflow, and keep out area suggestion information. To provide a convenient and free to use resource library for developers is seriously been considered. Therefore, Raytac has created a support page in the website, loaded in all the essential design guide information based on all modules. Thus, developers all over the world can just simply click the website and  obtain the immediate design information without taking time in back and forth mail communications. This does significantly save the developing schedule up to 2~3 days at least.

Welcome nRF52805 & nRF52820 module on board

It figures, Raytac launched nRF52820 & nRF52805 modules soon after Nordic released the SoC. As usual, all modules by Raytac are Bluetooth qualified and regulation pre-certified by FCC/IC/CE/SRRC/Telec/KC/SRRC/NCC.

With both modules added on the list, whole nRF52 series module road map now has become completed and comprehensive.

Nordic nRF52 Module by Raytac (Base Line Series)

Bluetooth applications not always tough and complicated.

Most cases, Bluetooth applications are brief and require simple bridge functionality only such as UART service for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or SPP for Classic Bluetooth (BT3 or BT2). Raytac adopted Nordic nRF52 base line solutions (nRF52805 / nRF52810 / nRF52811 / nRF52820) offer a series of base line modules with different form factor and antenna options for selection.

nRF52805: GPIO: 10 Flash: 192K / RAM: 24K

nRF52810: GPIO: 32 Flash: 192K / RAM: 24K

nRF52811: GPIO: 32 Flash: 192K / RAM: 24K

nRF52820:GPIO: 18 Flash: 256K / RAM: 32K

Excepting modules,  Raytac even developed a firmware pre-loaded modules for base line solution which is called as AT command module series. AT command module collected a list of most common command that transparent transmission may need. A well developed firmware pre-loaded modules bring developers or customer a quick access to Bluetooth. Simply deploy the module onto applications and projects can be benefited with the maximum flexibility, design free, time saving advantage.

Nordic nRF52820 solution, MDBT50 series Module by Raytac

Nordic announced their 6th multi-protocol solution of nRF52 series with nRF52820, which supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Bluetooth mesh, Thread, Zigbee and 2.4GHz proprietary wireless connectivity.

Like other nRF52 siblings, nRF52820 highlights a powerful  64MHz 32bit Arm Cortex-M4 processor, includes 256Kb Flash Memory and 32Kb RAM, features of Bluetooth 5.2, 5.1 and 5 including long range and high-throughput of 2Mbits per second, as well as direction finding, low energy power control and low energy isochronous channels.

A full speed (12Mbits per second) USB 2.0 interface and 1.7~5.5V operation voltage bring a wide range of commercial and industrial wireless applications to nRF52820. To support nRF52820's development, Nordic released SoftDevice S112, a new memory-optimized central stack. S112 now released as a alpha and will have full SDK (SDK V16.0.0) support coming in Q2 2020.
