SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Leveraging
respective leadership technologies in sensors and IoT connectivity,
Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT) (NASDAQ: IDTI) and Telink
Semiconductor are announcing a partnership to create connected and
integrated sensor platforms for IoT applications. These platforms
enable a wide variety of IoT use cases, such as environmental
sensing, health and fitness monitoring, connected smart buildings,
as well as asset identification, position and location
tracking.
IDT plans to release the new Bluetooth Low Energy 5 module
featuring Telink's 32-bit microcontroller core with better
power-balanced performance for battery-operated devices. The
Bluetooth module has an integrated 2.4GHz RF transceiver supporting
the IEEE802.15.4 multi-standard wireless protocol along with audio
support.
"We are excited about Telink's technology and how it will
augment our existing sensor technology and connectivity platform,"
said Sailesh Chittipeddi, IDT's
executive vice president for global operations and chief technology
officer. "With this partnership, we will be able to address markets
together that we weren't fully capable of with our standalone
solutions."
"IDT's integrated sensors and applications combined with
Telink's third generation, ultra-low power connectivity ICs –
specifically designed to enable cost sensitive applications – give
high-performance options without compromise to connected sensing
product designers," said Jim
Wargnier, global VP of sales for Telink Semiconductor. "We
look forward to pushing the boundaries with IDT on this exciting
platform."
