The RF modules are not standalone module, SoC modules are standalone module, the definition of RF module and SoC module is set forth below.
Category | Description | Notes |
RF module | RF modules do NOT have on-board MCU to run Bluetooth stack, it’s mandatory to have an external host MCU | FSC-BT825B, FSC-BT805B, FSC-BW101, FSC-BW121, etc, are RF module |
SoC module | SoC modules have on-board MCU to run Bluetooth stack, it’s NOT mandatory to have an external host MCU. | In our porfolios, All of BLE modules, most of Bluetooth dual mode modules and audio modules are SoC module |
