DECT ULE ICs are industry’s first
The SmartPulse family of devices, consisting of the SC14WSMDATA, SC14WSMDECT, and SC14CVMDECT, are offered as the first of its kind that are interoperable with the DECT ULE (ultra low energy) wireless standard. SmartPulse has been created for home automation, healthcare, security and energy monitoring consumer applications. The family consists of the SC14WSMDATA (data) and SC14WSMDECT (data and audio) wireless sensor nodes, which run for up to 10 years on a single AAA battery, and the SC14CVMDECT base station device that can be integrated into standalone hub products or internet gateways — allowing the remote management of SmartPulse enabled systems over an internet connection.
The DECT ULE standard is backwards compatible; enabling SmartPulse sensor nodes to communicate with existing legacy DECT enabled hubs and internet gateways from multiple manufacturers, with a simple software update. All SmartPulse devices transmit 232-bit packet data in the 1,870 to 1,930-MHz licensed DECT band. With a link budget of 123 dB, systems that integrate SmartPulse sensors can reliably stream data throughout even large family homes and gardens.
The SC14WSMDATA and SC14WSMDECT sensor nodes integrate the baseband, radio transceiver, antenna and power amplifier into a single system-in-package IC. In sleep mode the programmable devices use less than 3 µA.
The SC14CVMDECT base station device supports both voice and data, connecting with up to six voice and 256-data sensor nodes, and supports the DECT ULE, DECT 6.0 and CAT-iq standards. The system-in-package IC integrates a UART interface for external hosts, is easily programmable using its AT command set and requires no wireless network planning. All devices meet certification standards for all global markets, such as FCC, EU, and J-DECT, and are housed in 25 x 29-mm, 123-pin packages.(Contact company for pricing — prod qty, Oct 2011)
