1 Introduction

Bluetooth Low Energy is a technology to provide a 2.4 GHz personal network that is designed by Bluetooth SIG. Compared to classic Bluetooth, Bluetooth LE was created to minimize the power consumption of devices that require a personal area network like the one implemented for Bluetooth Classic. This is done by transmitting very small packets of data at a time while consuming less power than BR (Basic Rate) / EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) devices. Devices designed for Bluetooth LE functionality try to minimize the peak current the device uses as well as reducing the active time required to implement the device's functionality.

The Bluetooth LE protocol is designed mainly for low power devices that run on a coin sized battery. The Bluetooth LE stack is created to run asymmetriclly, which means devices with smaller energy sources are given fewer tasks to extend battery life. TI Bluetooth LE stack is a set of sample applications, tools, APIs and protocol stack libraries that enable engineers to develop Bluetooth 5 applications on SimpleLink devices as shown in Table 1-1.

TI's royalty-free Bluetooth LE stack is Bluetooth 5.3 compatible with all necessary software features, example applications, and documentation to start the development of single mode Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth LE) applications.
