Dialog license RivieraWaves' Bluetooth Smart 4.1 IP
Dialog Semiconductor has licensed RivieraWaves Bluetooth Smart 4.1 baseband controller, software protocol stack and profiles, and silicon proven radio for use in its Bluetooth Smart ICs. This solution has been designed for low silicon area and minimal power requirements.
The RivieraWaves’ Bluetooth Smart IP enables the development of sub-volt application SoC that consumes a few micro amps on average, and a fraction of micro amp in sleep mode. The flexible and robust protocol stack can be stored in ROM to reduce silicon area, while keeping the highest flexibility to address different applications through tailored parameters.
Sean McGrath, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Connectivity, Automotive & Industrial Business Group, Dialog Semiconductor, commented: "RivieraWaves' best in class IP and professional engineering support, helped us to provide the most power efficient Bluetooth Smart IC on the market. We are happy with our close collaboration and look forward to connecting billions of Bluetooth Smart devices to the Internet of Things as this exciting market evolves."
"We are proud of our collaboration with Dialog Semiconductor," added Ange Aznar, President and CEO, RivieraWaves. "Our Bluetooth Smart IP and software allowed Dialog to provide the most competitive Bluetooth Smart IC on the market today.”
