Mixed-signal IP library includes low-power radio
Cambridge Consultants (CCL) has released a novel silicon intellectual property (IP) library to the commercial SoC and ASIC markets.
IP library provides budget RISC processor blocks
Cambridge Consultants' new IP library provides proven interoperable components that allow mixed-signal, wireless enabled, SoC or ASIC solutions to be reliably and rapidly configured.
The launch of 3G networks around the world, and the services offered via such networks, increases the requirement for Bluetooth enabled handsets and provides further impetus to the adoption of Bluetooth.
The dual-mode NEC e606 3G handsets, which are currently being delivered to network operators, allow the user access to both advanced 3G services and the existing well known 2G networks.
The handset incorporates many new customer-focused features and technologies, including Bluetooth wireless connectivity.
Paul Williams, Operations Manager for Mezoe at CCL, commented, "The use of Mezoe software in NEC's 3G handset is a further endorsement of our world class products".
He added, "We are pleased to be associated with NEC's leading role in this 3G initiative".
The long awaited 3G network will deliver 'media-rich' content directly to users' phones, including sound and video.
3G phone users will also benefit from being able to receive information many times quicker than currently possible and makes watching highlights from your favourite sport or news channel, via subscription, viable.
In the future, 3G phone users are also expected to be able to benefit from 'online' features such as being able to shop and pay via their phone almost as if it were an 'electronic wallet'.
