Overview

The Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology supports the BLE standard defined by the International Standards Organization SIG, including BLE RF transceiver IP, baseband IP, and protocol software. The BLE RF transceiver IP has been successfully verified on 55nm CMOS and 22nm FD-SOI processes, supporting data transmission and reception of 1M or 2M bandwidth in the 2.4GHz band; Baseband IP includes digital modulation and demodulation, encryption & decryption, protocol packet transceiving & verification, and various low power modes, supporting full BLE baseband functions; The protocol software includes L2CAP, GATT/ATT, SMP/GAP, etc., which allows various application requirements.
