Core trio boosts SoC platform
Oki Electric has enhanced its uPLAT series of integrated platforms, which lower development times of SoC LSIs, with the introduction of three core products.
More power from laser modules for WDM systems
Oki Electric has developed a trio of high-power 1480nm pump laser diode modules for WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) optical transmission.
The solution has received its ZigBee Compliant certificate from the ZigBee Alliance, and will be available globally in December 2005 from both Oki and Integration.
Oki provides and supports the CompXs ZigBee stack in Asia, including Japan, and Integration provides and supports the ZigBee Stack in N America and Europe.
Akira Kamo, President of the Silicon Solutions Company at Oki Electric stated: "With the combination of Oki's ML7065 and Integration's CompXs ZigBee Stack, customers can establish a low datarate wireless network to control a wide range of applications from lighting, HVAC, production and storage facility logistics, to home appliance and health care monitoring".
He continued: "Using the advanced low datarate wireless technology, Oki will contribute to establish the next generation home and factory automation, focusing on reliability, safety, and comfort".
Jean-Luc Nauleau, CEO and President of Integration, stated that in addition to paving the way for the next generation of home and industrial wireless automation, "the collaboration between Oki and Integration has the benefit of delivering end customers a fully compliant ZigBee/IEEE802.15.4 solution that minimises the design cycle challenges to provide for the fastest time to market".
By incorporating Integration's technology, Oki developed its industry-first IEEE802.15.4 compliant LSI that includes a 2.4GHz RF, physical layer (PHY) and a media access control layer (MAC) in a single chip, and started volume production in June 2005.
Because the ML7065 includes the MAC layer, the backbone of the communication function, it reduces the required host CPU performance and memory, enabling Oki to provide a low cost, minimum resource ZigBee solution.
The CompXs ZigBee stack software, which was developed by Integration, complies with the upper layers established by the ZigBee Alliance.
By combining Oki's ML7065 with the CompXs ZigBee Stack, Oki can provide a one-stop solution to customers, shortening the development time of ZigBee enabled systems and enable lower cost BOM.
