This BLE 6.0 RF IP, developed in GF 22nm, is designed for Bluetooth Low Energy technology, with a strong emphasis on channel sounding capabilities. These features allow for real-time, precise channel measurements, enhancing overall communication quality and enabling superior performance in high-demand applications like AIoT, Bluetooth Audio, wearables, and more.
Supporting BLE 5.4 PHY layer options such as 2 Mbps, Long Range (LR), and Direction-Finding, the transceiver also offers flexible PHY with programmable baseband settings for proprietary modes. Channel sounding significantly improves interference handling and signal integrity, a key focus for next-generation wireless solutions.
This Bluetooth low energy RF IP targets by far the lowest power consumption (<3.6mW) together with state-of-the-art performances (sensitivity, interference rejection) and with minimal cost. Thanks to its built-in LDOs, its fully programmable modem, and its interface compatible with leading BT baseband controllers, this BLE RF IP is optimized for easy integration into ASICs and SoCs.
Power consumption of analog at core voltage is 3.6 mW in RX 1Mbps (at maximum sensitivity) and 6.0 mW in TX @ +0 dBm (PA supplied at 0.6V, core at 0.8V)
Low voltage :- 0.8V core voltage operation
Ease of use thanks to a very high degree of integration RF LDOs included (input voltage 0.94V),
Single-ended 50Ω RF port (no external matching components), one single external component only (RF crystal).
Analog silicon area ~0.80 mm2 and digital area ~0.25 mm2
