The new processor incorporates a Bluetooth v4.1 controller and processor, capable of capturing data from external sensors connected via various I/Os, such as I2C, UART, SPI and ADC, and it also incorporates flash memory to save data.

Data processing and storing of multiple sensing targets required for IoT devices are executable simultaneously by the new processor. In addition, TZ1041MBG can perform as a Bluetooth hub for collecting, processing and storing data, while its automatic reconnection function improves the operating efficiency and usability of the user system by using Low Duty Cycle Directed Advertising.

Like other TZ1000 series devices, TZ1041MBG integrates a low power design feature that allows it to change supply voltage in response to the processor frequency. This makes it suitable for wearable products that require long operating hours.

Toshiba also supports sophisticated software algorithms for TZ1000 series, such as Activity Monitoring, PPG (Photoplethysmography) Monitoring and ECG (electrocardiography) Monitoring, which provides a total system solution for wearable products.
