BRKHT32SX Breakout Sigfox Monarch kit

HT Micron module development kit

HT32SX / Sigfox / Monarch / Multi Zones

 

This BRKHT32SX Sigfox development kit is a prototyping tool to learn and develop an IoT solution based on the latest Multicomponent Integrated Circuit HT32SX MCO module from HT Micron, making it possible to cover the various Sigfox geographical areas.

The BRKHT32SX breakout board provides an easy way to test under real operating conditions the HT Micron HT32SX Multicomponent Integrated Circuit (MCO) designed to provide an out-of-the-box connectivity solution for Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

The small size of the breakout board allows you to include it in your full size prototype.

 

MCP - HT32SX is a multi-component integrated circuit (MCO) designed to provide an out-of-the-box connectivity solution for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. It provides both uplink (transmit) and downlink (receive) communications, and is the first Micron HT product in a new family of memory-less components.

Its small dimensions, high performance and low power consumption aim for the best experience for IoT developers.

The chip supports the communication of the Sigfox Monarch protocol with a low consumption STM S2-LP transceiver and embeds an STM32L052 programmable processor (ARM Cortex M0 + 32 bits) for your application.

The module is provided with a Sigfox ID & PAC and is Sigfox verified.

 

The board has a 10-pin connector for microprocessor programming and a micro USB connector for using the built-in bootloader or for debugging your code with the UART, thanks to the built-in FTDI chip.
