The CC2564MODN TI Bluetooth HCI module is a complete Bluetooth BR/EDR/LE HCI solution that reduces design effort and enables fast time to market. Based on TI’s seventh-generation Bluetooth core, the HCI module provides a product-proven solution that is Bluetooth 4.1 compliant. When coupled with a microcontroller unit (MCU), the HCI module provides best-in-class RF performance.

TI’s power-management hardware and software algorithms provide significant power savings in all commonly used Bluetooth BR/EDR/LE modes of operation.

With transmit power and receive sensitivity, this solution provides a best-in-class range of about 2x, compared to other BLE-only solutions. A royalty-free software Bluetooth stack available from TI is pre-integrated with TI's MSP430 and ARM Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 MCUs. The stack is also available for made for iPod® (MFi) solutions and on other MCUs through TI's partners. Some of the profiles supported today include: serial port profile (SPP), advanced audio distribution profile (A2DP), human interface device (HID), and several BLE profiles (these profiles vary based on the supported MCU).

In addition to software, this solution consists of a reference design with a low BOM cost. For more information on TI’s wireless platform solutions for Bluetooth, see TI's CC256x wiki.
