IP core family is Wild about wireless LANs
NewLogic has a new family of products targeted at wireless LAN (WLAN) applications.
Combined with the Wipro-NewLogic Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR radio IP, it offers customers a range of system configurations and can be integrated into any application, host or baseband chips, in the mobile, automotive and consumer markets.
"Wipro-NewLogic is a global leader in the Sale of Bluetooth IPs and has a long history in Bluetooth development, being the first company in 2000 to qualify its Bluetooth Core", says Franz Dugand, Product Marketing Manager at Wipro-NewLogic.
"We have licensed our Bluetooth 1.2 solution to a large number of customers worldwide and already a few of our customers have taped out their chip, integrating our Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR baseband IP".

Transceiver core completes Bluetooth IP suite
NewLogic Technologies has released its Boost Radio IP core - a 2.4GHz CMOS Bluetooth transceiver featuring low power consumption and small die size.
Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR technology offers three times higher transfer rates compared with Bluetooth 1.2 technology - 2Mbit/s compared with 720Kbit/s.
This enables a new range of applications like high definition stereo audio streaming, transfer of large files and fast synchronisation.
Additionally, the Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR technology shows a significant improvement in power consumption over Bluetooth 1.2.
Thanks to the alternative modulation provided by the EDR technology the radio operating in EDR mode will be three-times less active than a radio operating in Bluetooth 1.2 mode.
This results in significantly increased battery life for applications such as Bluetooth headsets or stereo audio streaming via the A2DP profile from a portable multimedia device to a home or car stereo system.
Wipro-NewLogic's Bluetooth baseband (Boost Core) and software (Boost Software) offer design engineers the flexibility to be used with any 16 or 32bit processor, using little endian or big endian convention.
It is silicon proven with ARM, ARC and Leon processors, among other CPUs.
The Boost Software contains the layers below-HCI (LC, LM, HCI) as well as above HCI, including key profiles such as headset, hands free, HID etc.
It supports multiple partitioning options: the hosted configuration allows an easy and standardised partitioning of a Bluetooth system within a two CPU or two chips architecture, while the same software can also be configured in a fully embedded mode, without the need of any HCI.
