Wireless IP Cores for TSMC

The icyTRX ultra-low-power RF transceiver is designed to meet standards such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), 802.15.4 PHY Layer (e.g. ZigBee), and proprietary standards with data rates from 62.5 kBit/s up to 4 Mbit/s.
icyTRX offers 5.3 mW consumption in receive mode from a 1.0 V supply. icyTRX is a complete transceiver that is designed for miniaturization, yielding an area of analog RF of less than 1 mm2 in 55 nm CMOS, requiring minimal external components thanks to high degree of integration. icyTRX is designed for easy integration into ASICs and SoCs.

The Ceva-Waves UWB platform cuts the development time and risk for implementing a wide range of UWB functionality in SoCs.
It provides optimized MAC and PHY hardware IP and supporting software for secure and accurate ranging, and Doppler Radar presence detection applications.
It can be implemented in an SoC independently or in conjunction with the Ceva-Waves Bluetooth platform, as well as part of the Ceva-Waves Links family of multiprotocol platforms.

Highly versatile multi-protocol wireless connectivity solutions leveraging the latest and market proven Ceva-Waves integrated hardware IP and software platforms, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (Classic and LE), 802.15.4 (for Thread, Zigbee and Matter) and UWB
Optimized co-existence schemes for each specific configuration
Pre-integrated radio solutions, including RF from Ceva and various partners addressing a wide range of configurations and foundry process nodes
Easily adaptable to other RF implementations including customer’s own in-house developments
