Bluetooth baseband processor available on FPGA
NewLogic today announced the immediate availability of its Boost Lite Bluetooth baseband processor core for use in Xilinx Virtex-II and Virtex-E FPGAs.
IP core family is Wild about wireless LANs
NewLogic has a new family of products targeted at wireless LAN (WLAN) applications.
This will help NewLogic and Hyperstone to incorporate important new features and technologies into their products that are currently being requested by today's customers and so help each company to maintain and extend their current market leadership position.
Hyperstone is licensing NewLogic's revolutionary Boost Core, Boost Software and Boost Radio for integration in their microprocessor based product line, which are used for applications in the consumer market, eg Flash memory cards, digital cameras, portable media devices and others.
The Boost IP family includes a Bluetooth baseband processor, a full Bluetooth software protocol stack and a Bluetooth CMOS radio.
These IP elements, when combined with a suitable microprocessor core, permit the implementation of a single chip Bluetooth solution using industry standard CMOS process technologies.
NewLogic is licensing Hyperstone's E1-32 single-core RISC/DSP architecture for integration in its wireless platform.
The E1-32 microprocessor represents a new class of microprocessor, combining a high-performance RISC processor with an additional powerful DSP instruction set and on-chip microcontroller functions.
The E1-32 microprocessor makes the use of additional DSP chips or DSP cores obsolete.
Up to now many multimedia, telecomms or wireless designs required separate DSP's and a CPU.
However, the E1-32 is ideal for these applications as the DSP unit is already integrated into the architecture.
"We are glad to announce Hyperstone as our latest Bluetooth licensee", said Hans Peter Metzler, President and CEO of NewLogic.
"It's good to know that a recognised leader in embedded control chose NewLogic because of our low power and high density Boost product technology".
"We see a lot of potential of Bluetooth technology for Hyperstone's product mix and for the benefit of our customers.
It is also clear for us that both companies have complementary technologies, so it makes sense to co-operate to ensure we each provide the cost effective, leading edge technology required by our respective markets, said Dr Matthias Steck, VP Sales and Marketing at Hyperstone.
