Product details
Overview
STEVAL-IDB005V1D from STMicroelectronics is an RF daughterboard platform built around the BlueNRG-MS Bluetooth® Low Energy 4.1 network processor, supporting both master and slave roles, with +8 dBm max TX power, −88 dBm RX sensitivity, and SPI interface for host MCU connectivity. It features an SMA antenna connector and is designed for rapid prototyping of BLE-enabled embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the STEVAL-IDB005V1D datasheet, STEVAL-IDB005V1D pinout, STEVAL-IDB005V1D application, or STEVAL-IDB005V1D equivalent, key selection factors include its SPI-based host interface, dual-role BLE 4.1 compliance, integrated RF matching (BALF-NRG-01D3), and compatibility with STM32L-based motherboards (e.g., STEVAL-IDB002V1/IDB005V1).
Technical Context
The board implements the BlueNRG-MS IC in a complete RF front-end configuration, including matched balun (BALF-NRG-01D3), crystal oscillators (HS/LP XTAL), SMPS filtering, and configurable VBAT routing. It operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and supports full BLE 4.1 link-layer functionality.
SPI signals (MOSI, MISO, CLK, CSN, IRQ, RST) are exposed via two 5-pin headers (J3/J4), enabling direct connection to external microcontrollers. Power is supplied via VBAT pins (1–3), with optional SMPS enable/disable via NO_SMPS jumper.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| BLE Standard | Bluetooth® Low Energy 4.1 - enables interoperability with certified peripherals and central devices |
| Max RF Output Power | +8 dBm - sufficient for 10–30 m line-of-sight range in typical PCB-mounted antenna setups |
| Receiver Sensitivity | −88 dBm @ 1 Mbps - supports robust link budget in noisy industrial or dense IoT environments |
| TX Current Draw | 8.3 mA @ 0 dBm - enables battery operation with multi-month lifetime using coin-cell sources |
| RX Current Draw | 7.3 mA - optimized for low-duty-cycle sensor polling and beaconing applications |
| Host Interface | SPI (4-wire + IRQ/RST) - deterministic, low-latency communication with host MCUs without protocol stack overhead |
| RF Connector | SMA female - allows connection to calibrated test equipment or high-efficiency external antennas |

FAQ
Does STEVAL-IDB005V1D include an onboard antenna?
No. The board uses an SMA female connector for external antenna attachment or RF test instrumentation. It does not integrate a PCB trace or chip antenna. RF matching is handled by the BALF-NRG-01D3 balun, optimized for 50 Ω systems.
Which host microcontrollers can interface with STEVAL-IDB005V1D?
Any MCU with a standard 4-wire SPI interface and GPIOs for IRQ and RST can communicate with it-including STM32L0/L1/L4, STM32F0/F3/F4, and non-ST parts like Nordic nRF52 or ESP32-provided the host runs the BlueNRG-MS SPI driver stack from ST's SDK.
Is firmware preloaded on the BlueNRG-MS IC?
No. The BlueNRG-MS comes unprogrammed. Users must flash firmware (e.g., ST's BlueNRG SDK examples or custom BLE profiles) via SWD or SPI using ST-LINK or compatible debuggers before operation.
Can STEVAL-IDB005V1D operate as a BLE Central device?
Yes. The BlueNRG-MS IC supports both master (Central) and slave (Peripheral) roles per Bluetooth 4.1 specification. The board's hardware and ST's BLE stack fully enable scanner, initiator, and bonded Central functionality.
