RNBD350PE-I100 Descripción general
A Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module is a pre-integrated radio subsystem that bundles the radio transceiver, baseband, protocol stack, antenna and regulatory certification into a single solderable component. BLE modules sit within the broader taxonomy of wireless connectivity modules -> short-range transceivers -> RF modules, allowing designers to bypass RF design, certification, and stack porting. The RNBD350PE family is positioned as a plug-and-play BLE solution for embedded products, prioritizing rapid time-to-market over custom RF tuning.
Key features include pre-certification for US (FCC), Canada (ISED), Europe (CE), Taiwan (NCC), China (SRRC), Japan (MIC) and Korea (KC) markets, support for Bluetooth 5.2 LE features such as Data Length Extension (DLE) and LE Secure Connections, an ASCII command set over UART, and a free Microchip mobile app (iOS and Android) plus source code for custom mobile applications. The integrated PCB trace antenna eliminates the need for an external antenna and keeps the BOM to a minimum.
Architecturally, the RNBD350PE combines the PIC32CX-BZ3 SoC (Arm Cortex-M4F core with BLE radio and crypto accelerator), onboard LDO/PMU, crystal reference, RF matching network, and an embedded planar inverted-F antenna. Designers communicate with the module via a Microchip-defined ASCII command set, leaving firmware development focused on the application MCU rather than the BLE stack.
Typical applications include IoT sensor nodes, industrial asset tracking, smart-home gateways, BLE beaconing for retail and healthcare, wireless HMI/remote-control front ends, and medical device telemetry. The pre-certified footprint lets designers avoid the 8-16 week regulatory lab cycle normally required for unlicensed 2.4 GHz products.
When designing with this part, allocate a host-side UART (with optional CTS/RTS) and verify keep-out regions around the antenna per the PCB layout guide in the datasheet. Confirm firmware revision compatibility with the chosen host platform before locking firmware; Microchip regularly issues stack updates.

Aplicaciones típicas
RNBD350PE-I100 es adecuado para 6 aplicacións: Industrial IoT Sensor Nodes, Smart Home Gateways and Hubs, BLE Beacons for Retail and Healthcare, Wireless HMI and Remote Controls, Medical Device Telemetry, Connected Lighting and LED Controls.
Industrial IoT Sensor Nodes
The RNBD350PE-I100 brings pre-certified Bluetooth 5.2 / v6.0 Low Energy connectivity to industrial sensor nodes, eliminating the RF design and regulatory certification that would otherwise delay a Modbus-to-wireless retrofit. Operating from a single 3.3 V rail with a UART command interface, it pairs cleanly with any 3.3 V MCU and uses ASCII commands for advertise/connect/notify - no BLE stack porting on the host. The integrated PCB trace antenna and 13.4 x 18.7 mm LGA-30 footprint fit inside the tight enclosures typical of process instrumentation. Pre-certification across FCC, ISED, CE, NCC, SRRC, MIC and KC lets a single BOM target global deployments. Designers should add 10 uF + 0.1 uF decoupling near VDD and respect the antenna keep-out region.
Recomendado
Smart Home Gateways and Hubs
The RNBD350PE-I100 fits smart-home gateways that aggregate BLE beacons and sensors into Wi-Fi/ethernet uplinks. Its BLE 5.2 / v6.0 LE radio with Data Length Extension (DLE) raises payload throughput versus legacy BLE 4.x modules, which matters when a hub is simultaneously scanning hundreds of advertising nodes. Pre-certification across seven major regulatory domains means a single SKU ships globally, simplifying inventory for consumer brands. The ASCII command set keeps the gateway firmware simple: a single UART thread sends scan/connect commands and pushes results up the stack. Power consumption during continuous scanning is dominated by the radio duty cycle, so designers should size the host MCU and rail accordingly.
Recomendado
BLE Beacons for Retail and Healthcare
For retail proximity marketing and healthcare asset-tracking beacons, the RNBD350PE-I100's pre-certified 2.4 GHz radio, ASCII command set, and integrated PCB trace antenna let designers ship a coin-cell or AAA-powered beacon in days rather than months. Bluetooth 5.2 LE advertising extensions (non-connectable beacons, periodic advertising) are supported at the host protocol layer over UART. The 3.3 V supply is easily derived from a low-dropout regulator tied to a primary cell. Antenna keep-out guidance in the Microchip datasheet DS70005561 must be respected for the radiated pattern to remain compliant under FCC/CE rules.
Recomendado
Wireless HMI and Remote Controls
The RNBD350PE-I100 serves wireless human-machine interface (HMI) front ends - remote controls for AV equipment, lighting, motorized shades - where a low-power BLE link and pre-certified radio shorten design cycles. The UART command interface lets any 8-bit or 32-bit host MCU drive advertising, pairing, and notification flows using only ASCII strings, so no BLE stack is required on the host. The compact 13.4 x 18.7 mm LGA-30 footprint fits behind a membrane keypad or inside a slim handheld. Designers can use BLE 5.2 LE Secure Connections to protect pairing against passive eavesdropping, satisfying commercial product security expectations.
Recomendado
Medical Device Telemetry
The RNBD350PE-I100 brings Bluetooth 5.2 / v6.0 LE to medical telemetry devices such as portable pulse oximeters, glucose meters, and rehabilitation trackers. The pre-certified radio sidesteps the long FDA/RED regulatory path for the RF sub-system, while BLE Secure Connections add the pairing protection expected of medical data links. Operating from 3.3 V with deep-sleep hibernate available via ASCII commands, the module extends battery life on coin-cell or rechargeable packs. The integrated PCB antenna eliminates a board-side RF connector, reducing enclosure cost and improving mechanical reliability for body-worn applications.
Recomendado
Connected Lighting and LED Controls
For connected LED fixtures and tunable-white lighting controllers, the RNBD350PE-I100 offers a pre-certified BLE 5.2 / v6.0 link that integrates with mobile apps out of the box - Microchip provides a free iOS/Android SDK and source code for custom lighting apps. The 3.3 V supply rail pairs naturally with LED driver reference designs, and the ASCII command set lets a small PIC or ATtiny host manage dimming curves without porting a BLE stack. Antenna keep-out must be respected to maintain radiated performance, especially when the module sits inside a metal heatsink fixture.

Notas de diseño
Respect the antenna keep-out region specified in the Microchip RNBD350 datasheet DS70005561 - typically no copper (signal, ground or power) within 5-6 mm of the antenna edge, including the area immediately under and around the antenna trace. Violating this keep-out detunes the antenna, reduces radiated output and may void FCC/CE compliance even though the module itself is pre-certified. Route the host PCB antenna layer as a single uninterrupted ground plane with no cuts beneath the antenna footprint.
Estimated: at 3.3 V supply and typical BLE advertising/profile currents documented in DS70005561, peak transmit bursts reach several tens of mA. Place a 10 uF X5R/X7R bulk capacitor plus a 0.1 uF local ceramic within 2 mm of the VDD pin to absorb the TX current spikes without sagging the rail. If the module is powered from a switching regulator, leave at least one ferrite bead or RC filter between the regulator output and the module VDD to keep regulator switching noise from coupling into the radio.
Do not drive UART lines to the module at voltages above 3.3 V - the RNBD350PE-I100 inputs are not 5 V tolerant and will be damaged by 5 V TTL levels from legacy MCUs. Use a level translator or a 3.3 V host. Also, do not omit flow control on the Four-Wire UART option if your application streams notification payloads at high rate - dropped characters will appear as silent command failures. Confirm the host firmware targets the same ASCII command-set revision as the module firmware on first prototype bring-up; command-set revisions are documented in the Microchip user guide DS50003684.
Place the RNBD350PE-I100 at the edge of the host PCB, ideally with the antenna edge flush with or extending just past the host board edge, so the antenna radiates into free space rather than into the host ground plane. Avoid placing tall components or metal shields within 10 mm of the antenna. Keep digital signal traces (UART, GPIO) routed on the layer opposite the antenna and isolated with a continuous ground flood to minimize coupling into the antenna pattern.
