Industry's First Integrated 802.11n WLAN, Bluetooth 2.1 and FM Single Chip from Texas Instruments Brings Affordable Connectivity to Mass Market Handsets
TI has announced two devices built on the company’s DRP single-chip technology designed to drive affordable WLAN, Bluetooth and FM technologies into mass market handsets.
Leader in Mobile WLAN Introduces New 65nm Solutions Based on TI DRP Technology
The first product is WiLink 6.0, a single chip that is the latest member of TI's mobile WLAN (mWLAN) family, and is the industry's first device to integrate a complete offering of mobile WLAN, Bluetooth and FM, with support for IEEE draft 802.11n for better coverage and reception.
The second product is the BlueLink 7.0 solution, the latest version of TI's BlueLink Bluetooth single-chip family that integrates Bluetooth and FM. The FM functionality in both devices delivers FM transmit and receive capabilities, turning the handset into a personal area broadcast device.
The new chips are tightly integrated monolithic solutions that enable the functionality demanded by today's consumers, allowing them to send and receive more data on their mobile phones with an enhanced voice and audio experience. Both devices are manufactured in leading-edge 65-nanometer (nm) technology, delivering a low-cost, low-power single chip with a small footprint.
