Dialog Semiconductor SmartBond DA14586 system-on-chip

The SmartBond DA14586 Bluetooth 5 system-on-chip (SoC) is part of Dialog Semiconductor’s highly integrated SmartBond family of power-efficient Bluetooth Low Energy solutions. It is the company’s first standalone device that is qualified to support the latest Bluetooth 5 specification, delivering low power consumption and high functionality for advanced use cases. The versatile device is suitable for adding Bluetooth Low Energy Mesh to products like remote controls, proximity tags, Internet of Things (IoT) beacons, connected medical devices and smart home nodes.

The DA14586 offers designers all the benefits of the DA14580/DA14581, but with even greater flexibility to create advanced applications from the smallest footprints and power budgets. Other enhancements include a power management set-up with both buck and boost converters, which enable support of most primary cell battery types. In addition to Bluetooth 5 support, the product has 2 MB of flash memory and 96 KB of RAM for user applications. It also includes an integrated microphone interface, which allows designers to add intuitive intelligent voice control to any cloud-connected product that has a microphone and speaker.

The SoC complies with Bluetooth 5.0, ETSI EN 300 328 and EN 300 440 Class 2 (Europe), FCC CFR47 Part 15 (US) and ARIB STD-T66 (Japan). It is supported by the DA14585 Development Kit Pro and Dialog’s SmartSnippets software to help engineers optimise software for power consumption.
