Laboratories support SMPTE conformity testing
New video and broadcast applications engineering labs have been opened by Gennum, allowing its customers to test and debug standard and high definition based systems.
Equaliser compensates for cable losses
The first two members of the HD-LINX II family of devices for HDTV/SDTV multirate SDI systems from Gennum are the GS1524 multirate adaptive equaliser and the GS1528 dual slew-rate cable driver.
With a form factor of only 12 x 8 x 1.8mm, it is ideal for use in headsets for mobile phones, call centres and offices.
The companion GR2312 module is a cost-effective Bluetooth implementation for PDAs, instrumentation and other handheld systems.
GenBlue modules are powered by CSR's BlueCore2 silicon, and both modules implement the full features of this device.
The generous 8Mbit of onboard Flash memory allows maximum flexibility to run applications on the processor integrated into the CSR device, reducing or even eliminating the need for a host processor.
Gennum has integrated CSR's industry-leading silicon with its state of the art integrated thin film RF passive chip, high density interconnect and packaging technology to provide a very compact and high performance solution.
Gennum's strength in audio processors, ultra-low-power codecs and DSP-based digital filtering, originating from its hearing aid business, has also contributed to the design.
GenBlue modules are powered from a single 3V supply, and are packaged in a surface mount format compatible with the BGA packaging interface.
The GR2312 will sample in January, and the GR2313 will sample in the second quarter of 2003.
Gennum will hold stock of both modules.
The Gennum GR2312 module has achieved Bluetooth qualification, and the GR2313 is currently in the process of being qualified.
