Bluetooth Beacon adopts BLE advertising feature to support new applications such as indoor navigation, healthcare, BLE advertising, sensing, security, remote control, light control, etc. The advertised packets are placed in the Channel 37, 38 and 39 to avoid the interference from WiFi channels at ISM band. The BC7262 is aimed for the Beacon device for various proximity aware applications.

The BC7262 is a low-cost 2.4GHz BLE Beacon transceiver. With an external 32MHz crystal (XO), an MCU and a few ceramic capacitors, it can implement a complete Beacon device. The output power level can be programmed from -10dBm to +5dBm for various applications. 18.5mA RX current consumption and maximum of +5dBm with 22mA TX current consumption can be achieved even for a small-size 10-pin SOP-EP package.
