Overview

High RF performance at the lowest cost

The icyTRX-LE-22 RF transceiver PHY IP delivers an optimal trade-off between power consumption and Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) RF performance — excellent sensitivity and strong interference rejection — while minimizing the overall cost for loT applications.

Occupying just 0.57 mm2 in a 22 nm technology (7 metal layers), the analog RF portion of the IP integrates on-chip passives and Built-In-Self-Test (BIST) structures to drive down silicon area, wafer cost, bill of materials, and production-test expenses.

Thanks to its built-in LDOs, programmable modem, and its interface compatible with leading Bluetooth baseband controllers (Hardware and software-based), the icyTRX-LE IP is optimized for seamless ASIC and SoC integration.
