BC833M, BC833E, nRF52833 Bluetooth 5.2, Thread, Zigbee Module

BC833M and BC833E are BLE 5.2 modules using Nordic nRF52833 QDAA SoC with an integrated antenna and an u.FL connector for external antenna, respectively.

Small host PCB area: Size of BC833M is 10x14.3mm. It includes inductors required for DCDC converter, 32 MHz and 32.768 KHz crystals.
No external component is required when supplying power to VDD.
Operating temperature of both crystals are -40C to 105C, 20PPM.
The longest range without a PA. +8.73 dBm max TX power, BC833E is FCC certified with a 6 dBi antenna.
