NewLogic has a new family of products targeted at wireless LAN (WLAN) applications.
LSI Logic's customers can now easily integrate Bluetooth capability into custom and standard chips for next-generation communications products.
"NewLogic's IP cores give us another piece of the puzzle in our already vast ASIC and standard-product lines, providing communications designers with the complete set of building blocks for broadband connectivity into and within the home", said Giuseppe Staffaroni, LSI Logic's executive vice president of the Broadband Products group.
"With LSI Logic's integrated solutions and system-on-a-chip expertise, we're able to reduce total system costs and offer designers of Bluetooth applications a solution that will help them bring their products to market quickly".
NewLogic's Boost IP family includes a Bluetooth baseband processor, a full software protocol stack and a CMOS radio.
These IP elements, when combined with a suitable microcontroller core, permit the implementation of a single-chip Bluetooth solution using industry standard CMOS process technologies.
The NewLogic core complements LSI Logic's extensive CoreWare library that includes ARM, MIPs, ZSP, Ethernet, GigaBlaze, HyperPHY, USB and PCI cores.
These cores provide the building blocks for system-on-a-chip designs and help bring customers' end products to market faster.
