BL654 USB Adapter – Nordic SDK/Zephyr **Bluetooth® v5 USB Adapter** 

A 

## PRODUCTION GRADE BTV5 ADAPTER FOR NORDIC/ZEPHYR DEVELOPMENT 

Building on Laird’s expertise with Nordic from the BL600 and BL652 series comes the most powerful yet - the BL654 series! It provides OEMs with the maximum design flexibility and performance. A complete multi-protocol embedded wireless offering with exceptional processing capability, all at a micro power budget. 

Powered by **Nordic’s nRF52840** silicon, the small form factor BL654 module with integrated antenna (part # 451-00001) is embedded inside the robust, packaged USB Adapter. The **new** BL654 USB Adapter **variant # 451-00004** enables complete flexibility to utilize the hardware with the **Nordic SDK** and **Zephyr** environments. 

**Note:** Looking for a _smart_ BASIC, virtual COM version? Choose **Laird part # 451-00003** .
