Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the WSM-BL241-ADA-008 and ISP1507-AX-RS maintain active product status with identical ROHS3 and REACH compliance certifications. The ISP1507-AX-RS demonstrates improved receiver sensitivity at -96dBm compared to -93dBm, providing enhanced signal reception capability. Current consumption in the ISP1507-AX-RS is marginally higher during receiving (6.5mA vs 6mA) and transmitting (7.1mA vs 7mA) operations. The substitute part includes ADC interface capability in addition to the I2C, SPI, and UART interfaces present in the original part. Packaging differs between cut tape and tape & reel formats, which may affect procurement and assembly workflows. Both parts utilize identical nRF52832 IC architecture with matching memory configurations and operating temperature specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if ISP1507-AX-RS can substitute for WSM-BL241-ADA-008?

A: Substitution is valid when both parts share identical Bluetooth v5.0 protocol, 2.4GHz frequency operation, 1Mbps data rate, 4dBm output power, nRF52832 IC, 512kB Flash/64kB RAM memory, integrated trace antenna, surface mount packaging, and matching operating temperature range. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status with active product availability.

Q: Are there differences in electrical performance between these parts?

A: The ISP1507-AX-RS provides -96dBm sensitivity compared to -93dBm in the WSM-BL241-ADA-008, representing improved receiver performance. Current consumption is marginally higher in the substitute part: 6.5mA receiving (vs 6mA) and 7.1mA transmitting (vs 7mA). The ISP1507-AX-RS includes ADC interface capability not specified in the original part.

Q: How do packaging formats differ between these parts?

A: The WSM-BL241-ADA-008 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging, while the ISP1507-AX-RS uses Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both are surface mount modules with identical mechanical package specifications. Packaging selection depends on assembly line requirements and procurement volume.

Q: Are supply voltage specifications identical?

A: The ISP1507-AX-RS specifies 1.7V ~ 3.6V supply voltage range. The WSM-BL241-ADA-008 does not provide explicit voltage specification in available documentation. Design validation should confirm voltage compatibility with system requirements.

Q: Do both parts support the same serial communication interfaces?

A: The WSM-BL241-ADA-008 supports I2C, SPI, and UART interfaces. The ISP1507-AX-RS supports ADC, I2C, SPI, and UART interfaces. The substitute part provides all interfaces present in the original part with additional ADC capability.
