CE has announced new Safety and Radio Equipment Directive (aka RED) and plans to put in practice since end of 2020 and 2021.
* Safety Directive:
IEC-60950-1 will be replaced by EN 62368-1, effected by 2020/12/20
* RED:
EN 300 328 V2.1.1 will be replaced by Directive EN 300 328 V2.2.2 , effected by 2021/8/6.

To fulfill the CE compliance, Raytac has decided to proceed the updating work for all module series according to the latest directives. The work is scheduled to be completed in middle of 2020.
Customers who are currently proceeding CE testing is encouraged to adapt the latest directives to save extra task for latter regulation updating.

Raytac announced both MDBT50Q-512K & MDBT50Q-P1M modules has extended the ambient temperature up to 105°C, following Nordic’s nRF52833’s specification.

Unlike a single component like SoC, modules acted as an integrated equipment which includes some other related components. To secure the module works under the latest environment request while Nordic nRF52833 released, Raytac ensured all related components meet the new temperature requirement with RF efficiency secured.
Today, we are pleased to announce nRF52833 modules:
MDBT50Q-512K: Chip Antenna
MDBT50Q-P512K: PCB Antenna
Both have successfully extended ambient temperature to 105°C which are the most ideal devices for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications.

Nordic announced their 6th multi-protocol solution of nRF52 series with nRF52820, which supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Bluetooth mesh, Thread, Zigbee and 2.4GHz proprietary wireless connectivity.
Like other nRF52 siblings, nRF52820 highlights a powerful 64MHz 32bit Arm Cortex-M4 processor, includes 256Kb Flash Memory and 32Kb RAM, features of Bluetooth 5.2, 5.1 and 5 including long range and high-throughput of 2Mbits per second, as well as direction finding, low energy power control and low energy isochronous channels.
A full speed (12Mbits per second) USB 2.0 interface and 1.7~5.5V operation voltage bring a wide range of commercial and industrial wireless applications to nRF52820. To support nRF52820’s development, Nordic released SoftDevice S112, a new memory-optimized central stack. S112 now released as a alpha and will have full SDK (SDK V16.0.0) support coming in Q2 2020.

With over 1,000 exhibitors gathering in Nuremberg, Germany on 25 Feb.~27 Feb., 2020 , Embedded World already is one of the biggest trade fair among the IoT Technologies.
Raytac is pleased to be in attendance and present our full range of module family based on Nordic nRF52840, nRF528333 and all others.
We welcome all developers come to meet us and look forward to seeing you there.

Just right at the start of 2020, we are happy to announce nRF52833 modules are now available!
Raytac’s nRF52833 series modules are introduced in 3 kinds of antenna options (Chip Ceramic / PCB / u.FL connector for external antenna) brings the best usability to meet different implements.
Chip Antenna Version: MDBT50Q-512K
PCB Antenna Version: MDBT50Q-P512K
u.FL Connector Version: MDBT50Q-U512K

From the article “Change to nRF52833 module? What the Hardware & Firmware Setting Need To Review?“, Raytac has highlighted Keil users need to update nRF Device Family Pack version to 8.27.1 for SDK16
Here introduced how to change the nRF DeviceFamilyPack version.

Developer who currently are using nRF52840 based modules must be excited waiting for nRF52833’s distribution. Most developers are aware that nRF52833 supports long range, multi protocol and USB interface but has less RAM and Flash memory rather than nRF52840 and no doubt is the best alternative to have cost effective without extra efforts.
Raytac has released 3 models of nRF52833 based modules just at the same time when Nordic released, MDBT50Q-512K / MDBT50Q-P512K / MDBT50Q-U512K. Both nRF52840 and nRF52833 module are based on same form factor and pin out. To have quick visual identification finding the difference, Raytac’s nRF52833 modules are built by Green PCB but nRF52840 modules are Blue.

Standing on marketing perspective point of view, iPhone user are often been viewed as a higher contribution margin group. Not only talking about consumer behavior, but also the motivation looking for device integrated with their own iOS devices. That explains why HomeKit devices recently has been widely spreading out in Apple stores or shops.
Wireless technology, says Bluetooth or WiFi, is the key role to connect between devices for Apple HomeKit implements. Surely, Bluetooth is more applicable than WiFi, not only easier to connect to iOS devices but also much lower power consumption and higher security level to rich consumer’s experience.
Raytac has been devoting to Bluetooth Low Energy module development for several years, started from BT4.0 to the latest. Raytac modules has selected Nordic’s solution, which is a highly optimized solution running HomeKit Accessory Protocol (HAP) and application firmware. The ultra-low power even enhance the design and usability for HomeKit devices implements.
After MFi Licenses program jointed, Nordic nRF5 HomeKit SDK is capable to access, Raytac expects to escalate the support ability in terms of hardware and firmware aspects for all customers who are interested in Apple HomeKit implements.
