Nordic nRF5340 Module By Raytac Corporation

       Bluetooth technology has been developing over decades, Nordic nRF5340 no doubt is the most important edge cutting wireless evolution released in 2020 since then. Throughout the common either audio or data Bluetooth transmission to advanced data & audio connection between devices, IoT applications now have already been derived from past simple purpose toward contemporary comprehensive and complex implements in either commercial or industrial fields.

      Raytac Corporation, a Taiwan based module maker, has been adopting Nordic solutions spectrum a number of modules incorporating different form factors, antenna options and feature modules. Integrating nRF5340 IC mass production has begun and Raytac is hereby is glad to announce that there are a total of 5 modules being released with 2 kinds of form factors, MDBT53 and MDBT53V.



      MDBT53 is a System-on-Module (aka SoM) with a good size of 9.3mm x 14.3mm and 48 GPIO which is an ideal dimension to fit in most applications. MDBT53 provides 3 antenna options, Chip antenna; PCB antenna; and u.FL connector for external antenna which deliver a maximum feasibility for most IoT projects.


      MDBT53V is designated for the application which has a space constraint design. A 7.8mm x 12.4mm with 25 GPIO is small enough to offer the opportunity of employing nRF5340 modules in the project. In addition, the module offers an extended working temperature of up to +105°C enabling the module to become the most reliable connectivity source for industrial applications. MDBT53V provides 2 options of antenna, Chip and PCB, for developers’ selection which is capable of optimizing the project plan in terms of performance and budgetary. 


      Over the past few years, Raytac experienced the fast changing of Bluetooth technology from BT2 all the way to latest BT5.2; from heavy power consumption to advanced Low Energy. Raytac is determined in its the mission to provide better module service in the aspects of quality, coverage, and stable pipeline to all partners. MDBT53 & MDBT53V, nRF5340 solution modules, an epochal Bluetooth technology which significantly improves the connectivity ability from data transmission toward audio broadcasting which would be the best model to provide technology that could benefit and contribute to people’s lives.

ANT+ Module by Raytac

 nRF51422 is the first solution supports both Bluetooth and ANT+, different from pure Bluetooth Low Energy BLE solution, nRF51822 released earlier. The edge cutting technology enable nRF51422 suporting multiprotocol concurrency capable for both Bluetooth Low Energy and ANT+. At the same time Nordic released SDK S310 for nRF51422 which is a combined peripheral BLE and ANT+ protocol stack that supports concurrent operation and all ANT+ features.

When Nordic moved to nRF52, started from nRF52832, the game changed. Even nF52832 still supports ANT+, the technology support such as SDK releasing or developers' forums, has moved to direct supported by ANT+ Wireless (formerly Dynastream Innovations). Since then, Raytac suggest developers who is interested in ANT+ product still able to select the modules based on core specification and form factor, but access the firmware development support from ANT+ directly. Developers who are interested to know more about ANT+ is encouraged visit ANT+ FAQ support page first for more information about membership, development, resource and certification.

All Nordic nRF52 solutions supports ANT+ feature, developers may refer to below Raytac module map and find what the protocol supports by the symbol stated besides the Nordic solution indication.

MDBT42T & MDBT42TV Joined Raytac AT Command Codeless Module Family

Headache about how to make your device going wirelessly? Want to have Bluetooth connectivity implement but worried about there is no resource to support firmware code developing ? Raytac AT command modules is the best ideal solution to enable the project having a breakthrough achievement quickly without writing a line of code or building up a design of RF hardware.


AT command stands for Attention Command, which is the most ordinary, easy and widely applied protocol to connect and bridge between IoT devices. Learning from Bluetooth Classic Serial Port Profile (aka SPP) experience, Raytac has been using UART service (ask NUS, Nordic UART service) since 2016 to assist customers proceed the Bluetooth project development. With full experience accumulated from projects, Raytac released the fist AT command module in 2018. Until now, Raytac AT command modules have been widely applying in different applications and successfully easier the project development and shorten the schedule.

Raytac keep improving to meet your demand now and future. When IoT device goes smaller become a trend of fashion, Raytac headed for it. Today, Raytac is happy to announce there are 2 new AT command modules released which are MDBT42T & MDBT42TV, which will have 2 kinds of antenna option available for each model. The modules are smaller than ever which benefit for the applications with space constraints design, also an optimized hardware module design to enable the module not only small but low cost. Raytac keep striving to make it better.

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.
