MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
May 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
Highlights:
- Fudan Microelectronics Group selects Synopsys' DesignWare
Bluetooth Controller and PHY IP to
deliver ultra-low-power MCUs for IoT applications
- The DesignWare Bluetooth IP operates below one-volt supply for
extended battery life and offers an integrated matching network to
reduce bill-of-materials
- Synopsys has also released its latest generation of low-power
wireless IP enabling concurrent connectivity across Bluetooth 5.1,
Thread, and Zigbee networks
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced
that Fudan Microelectronics Group has selected Synopsys'
silicon-proven DesignWare® Bluetooth 5.0 Controller and
PHY for its ultra-low-power general-purpose microcontrollers (MCUs)
for IoT applications. Fudan selected Synopsys' Bluetooth 5.0 IP due
its differentiated power, area, and ease of SoC integration
compared to competitive solutions. In addition, the latest
generation of Synopsys' low-power wireless IP allows concurrent
connectivity across Bluetooth 5.1 and 802.15.4 Thread and Zigbee
standards, enabling more flexibility and differentiation in
connected devices. The DesignWare Bluetooth IP is qualified in
accordance with the Bluetooth SIG and Thread Group procedures and
is compliant with the Zigbee specifications.
"For our complex, ultra-low-power general-purpose MCUs, we
needed a compact, low-power wireless interface solution that
delivers the required features, high-quality, and robustness," said
Gang Zhang, security and identification director at Fudan
Microelectronics Group. "To meet such requirements, we selected
Synopsys' proven DesignWare Bluetooth Controller and PHY IP solutions. Through our evaluation
process, we quickly realized that the Synopsys Bluetooth 5 IP
offers the lowest power, smallest die size, and easiest path to SoC
integration."
"As an active member of the Bluetooth SIG, Synopsys has been
participating in multiple working groups to help define the latest
Bluetooth 5.1 specification," said John
Koeter, vice president of marketing for IP at Synopsys. "By
providing a fully-compliant and interoperable low-power wireless IP
solution that supports Bluetooth 5.1, Zigbee, and Thread, we are
enabling companies like Fudan to integrate the latest Bluetooth
functionality into their IoT designs with less risk."
Availability
The DesignWare Controller and PHY
IP solutions for Bluetooth 5/5.1, Thread, and Zigbee are
available now in 55- and 40-nm processes.
