Fully-certified Bluetooth® 4.1 Stereo Audio Module, Perfect for Portable Battery Operated Devices

Stereo module BM20/BM23 is a fully-certified Bluetooth^® Version 4.1 (BDR/EDR) module for designers who want to add Bluetooth^®wireless audio and voice applications to their products. This Bluetooth SIG certified module provides a complete wireless solution with Bluetooth stack, integrated antenna, and worldwide radio certifications in a compact surface mount package, 29x15x2.5 mm³. This stereo module built-in Li-ion charger and BM23 contain a digital audio interface. It supports HSP, HFP, SPP, A2DP, and AVRCP profiles. Both AAC and SBC codecs are supported for A2DP. Note that the customer must connect their own external analog CODEC/DSP/amplifier and MCU for audio output.
