Starter kit kick-starts Bluetooth designs
A complete Bluetooth starter kit is now shipping from Xemics, with an easily programmable demo headset profile example from IAR Systems.
This easy to use IC requires no external components, and supports several radio devices.
It includes all required hardware blocks to comply with Bluetooth 1.1.
The XE1401 device is a stand-alone Bluetooth baseband protocol-on-chip solution providing the full Bluetooth functionality up to the Host Controller Interface (HCI), with no need for external memory.
This ultra low power "addon" Bluetooth baseband solution is ideal for any battery-powered applications with an embedded host controller, such as headsets, PCMCIA cards, PDAs and personal area networking devices.
The device has both a high-speed UART and parallel port for host processor interfacing.
Using the XE1401's glueless audio interface to Xemics' XE3006 codec the world's lowest power Bluetooth headset solution can be built to consume less than 22mW.
The first device from the EasyBlue product line, the XE1401 and its development tools are on show this week at the Bluetooth World Congress in Amsterdam.
