The BlueNRG-2 from STMicroelectronics is a very low power Bluetooth low energy (BLE) single-mode system-on-chip, compliant with Bluetooth specification. The BlueNRG-2 extends the features of the award-winning BlueNRG network processor, enabling the usage of the embedded Cortex M0 for running the user application code.
The BlueNRG-2 system-on-chip includes 256 KB of programming Flash memory, 24 KB of static RAM memory with retention (two 12 KB banks) and SPI, UART, I²C standard communication interface peripherals. It also features multifunction timers, watchdog, RTC and DMA controller. The device has an ADC is available for interfacing with analog sensors, and for reading the measurement of the integrated battery monitor and includes a digital filter for processing a PDM stream.
The BlueNRG-2 offers the same excellent RF performance of the BlueNRG radio, and the integrated high efficiency DC/DC converter keeps the same ultra-low power characteristics, but the BlueNRG-2 improves the BlueNRG sleep mode current consumption allowing a further increase in the battery lifetime which is critical especially in IoT applications.
The BlueNRG-2 system-on-chip is supported by the STEVAL-IDB008V1 evaluation platform. The STEVAL-IDB008V1 evaluation board provides a set of hardware resources for implementing a wide range of application scenarios: sensor data (accelerometer, pressure and temperature sensor), remote control (buttons and LEDs) and debug message management though USB virtual COM. Three power options are available (USB only, battery only, external power supply + USB) for high application development and testing flexibility. The evaluation board allows engineers to quickly evaluate the BlueNRG-2 system-on-chip capabilities and to accelerate their designs from the drawing board to mass production.

STMicroelectronics are powering the next generation of Industry 4.0 applications with a new vibration-sensing solution optimized to enable smart maintenance of factory equipment. The IIS3DWB is a system-in-package MEMS sensor featuring a 3-axis digital vibration sensor with low noise over an ultra-wide and flat frequency range. The wide bandwidth, low noise, very stable and repeatable sensitivity, together with the capability of operating over an extended temperature range (up to +105 °C), make the device particularly suitable for vibration monitoring in industrial applications.
