Introduction
Thank you for choosing Radicom RB8762CMF Module. We are committed to providing you quality
service and technical support. The RB8762CMF modules are designed to meet OEM’s needs of
embedding low power, wireless data connectivity to their products. The RB8762CMF family offers a
quick and simple solution for wireless Bluetooth communications.
Radicom RB8762CMF module is designed to meet the emerging market for Bluetooth 5.0
applications. These embedded Bluetooth 5.0 modules integrate entire profiles, applications, and
Bluetooth protocol stack, and no external processor is needed. It also contains 256KB flash memory
and 80KB RAM.
The RB8762CMF can be factory configured for other Bluetooth cost-effective and power-efficient
wireless consumer products such as watches, medical sensors, mice, TV remote controls and fitness
trainers. Contact Radicom for help to add the BLE Data Protocol functionality to your 4.2 Bluetooth
device or for help in determining which Bluetooth Module is the best fit for your particular Bluetooth
application.
The RB8762CMF family modules can be powered with standard 1.8V~3.6V low power. In lowest
mode it consumes only 1.1 nA level power and will wake up in few hundred microseconds. The
RB8762CMF family provides superior performance in the presence of interference from 802.11
(WiFi) wireless devices and other 2.4GHz radios.
The RB8762CMF modules support quick connections and data transfers allowing an application to
establish a Bluetooth connection within a few milliseconds for short communication bursts before
quickly disconnecting the Bluetooth connection to save power. It takes much less time to make a
connection than conventional Bluetooth wireless technology and consumes approximately only 1/20th
of the power of Bluetooth Basic Rate.
The RB8762CMF is available in surface mount (SMD) or through-hole (DIP) hardware designs. The
RB8762CMF module is the surface mount model. The RB8762CMF can also mounted on a
conversion board to create the RB8762CMF-HM model for serial through-hole designs.

RB8762CMF EVK and BLE Functionality
Radicom provides RB8762CMFEVK (development kits) as a quick platform for testing and
evaluating the RB8762CMF and RB8762CMF-HM Bluetooth modules. The kit includes two
RB8762CMF modules mounted on the RB8762CMF-HM DIP Module. Each RB8762CMF-HM is
installed into a RB8762CMF-MB evaluation board. One of the RB8762CMF-HM is configured to
operate in BLE Data Protocol Master Mode. The other RB8762CMF-HM is configured to operate in
BLE Data Protocol Slave mode. The RB8762CMF-MB boards have an RS232 Serial Port connector
and USB interface that allows the user to immediately connect to any standard serial port to evaluate
the Bluetooth modules.
The RB8762CMF modules are defaulted to use the BLE Data Protocol. For BLE Data Protocol
operation, you need one Radicom Master and one Radicom Slave module. The Slave Model
RB8762CMF-S advertises or broadcasts the Bluetooth signal. The Master Model RB8762CMF-M
will scan for Bluetooth signals and then request a Bluetooth connection. The RB8762CMF-S Slave
can then accept the connection for BLE Data transfers. The RB8762CMF-S Slave can also operate
with remote devices that also support the BLE Data Protocol.
