“The Broadcaster role is optimized for transmitter only applications. Devices supporting the Broadcaster role use advertising to broadcast data. The Broadcaster role does not support connections.
The Peripheral role is optimized for devices that support a single connection and are less complex than Central devices. Devices supporting the Peripheral role only require Controllers that support the Controller’s slave role. “
Non-connectable advertising allows users to advertise data with the lowest power consumption. In connectable advertising, power dissipation is used for transmitting the advertising data (Tx) and receiving the data from scanner device (Rx). In non-connectable adverting only power dissipation is used for transmitting the advertising data (Tx), so the power consumption will be lower.
Do you mean the power consumption in 1 (non-) connectable advertising event? You can test it in your side as well and use Power Profiler from SmartSnippets Toolbox to measure the power consumption.
If you are starting a new design, we would strongly recommend to start with DA14531 or DA14585/586 products and our latest SDK6.0.14, as it is much more improved. We have a lot of code examples and improved documentation, and there is also software roadmap support. There is not any software roadmap support for DA14580 product family and SDK5.
Additionally the DA14531 SmartBond TINY™ Module is now released! Follow the link below to find datasheet, documentation and HW collaterals for the module:
Hi Harish
According to Bluetooth LE specifications :

Thanks for the info.
Hi Harish,
You are welcome! If you have any follow up question, please raise a new forum ticket.
