40nm BT4.0/ BT4.2/BT5.0/15.4 SoC radio

Overview

Imec’s 2.4GHz multi-standard radio achieves best-in-class performance at world’s lowest power consumption. The radio
supports Bluetooth V4.0, 4.2 and 5.0 (Draft) (a.k.a. Bluetooth Low Energy or Bluetooth Smart), as well as the IEEE802.15.4 (a.k.a. ZigBee) standard and provides a proprietary 4Mbps high speed mode. It complies with the FCC and ETSI regulations and delivers an output power up to 3.6dBm (w. external matching).
