Frequently Asked Questions
What Bluetooth version and output power class does the RN42XVP-I/RM support, and what range is achievable?
The RN42XVP-I/RM supports Bluetooth 2.1+EDR with Class 2 power output, providing a nominal wireless range of up to 10 m in open environments. Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) enables data rates up to 3 Mbps for Bluetooth connections, which is sufficient for streaming sensor data, audio accessories, and HID device emulation.
Which host interfaces does RN42XVP-I/RM provide, and how is it connected to a microcontroller?
The RN42XVP-I/RM supports both UART and SPI interfaces for host communication at 3.3 V logic levels. The UART interface handles AT commands and serial data passthrough, allowing connection to virtually any MCU with a UART port using 4 wires (TX, RX, CTS, RTS). SPI interface enables faster configuration and data transfers in latency-sensitive designs.
Does RN42XVP-I/RM come pre-certified, and how does this affect regulatory approval for a product using it?
Yes, the RN42XVP-I/RM carries FCC, IC (Canada), and CE pre-certifications for the RF module itself. When integrated into a host product following Microchip's integration guidelines, this modular approval typically reduces the end-product RF testing burden, cutting weeks off regulatory approval timelines and reducing test lab costs by thousands of dollars for volume production devices.
For a battery-powered wireless sensor, how much current does the RN42XVP-I/RM draw in sleep and active modes?
The RN42XVP-I/RM draws approximately 26 mA during active Bluetooth transmission and can drop to under 3 µA in deep sleep mode. At a 3.3 V supply, this means a 500 mAh battery can support over 700 hours of sleep-dominant operation with periodic 10 ms transmission bursts — making it viable for monthly-maintenance wireless industrial sensor nodes.
