Win a Bluetooth audio evaluation board

22 February 2017 News

Dataweek readers are offered the chance of winning a Microchip BM64 Bluetooth Audio Evaluation Board (BM-64-EVB-C2). This board enables easy development with Microchip’s new IS206X family of SoC devices and modules which offer Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) capability. Engineered for speakers, headsets and gaming headphones, the IS206X Flash-based platform offers flexibility and powerful design features, allowing audio manufacturers to easily incorporate wireless connectivity in streaming music and voice command applications.

The board enables the user to evaluate and demonstrate the functionality of the BM64 Class 2 stereo audio module. The BM-64-EVB-C2 includes an integrated configuration and programming interface for plug-and-play capability, and also has status LEDs which enable rapid prototyping and faster time to market. Along with the BM-64-EVB-C2, software tools and applications are provided to demonstrate the Bluetooth connections to the onboard BM64 stereo audio module and to optionally configure or program it. The board has two USB ports that can be connected to the host PC using a micro-USB cable.

Microchip’s highly integrated module solutions are self-contained, low-power, and fully-certified for designers seeking to develop wearable or IoT devices without any Bluetooth Low Energy IP stack or RF experience.

For your chance to win a Microchip BM64 Bluetooth Audio Evaluation Board, visit www.microchip-comps.com/data-m64blue and enter your details in the online entry form.
