Bluetooth 5.3 Dual Mode PHY IP

Audio streaming at the lowest power

The icyTRX-DM ultra-low-power RF transceiver IP is designed to meet 2.4 GHz standards like Bluetooth Classic (BR/EDR), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), 802.15.4 PHY Layer (e.g. ZigBee), and proprietary standards.

icyTRX-DM IP targets by far the lowest power consumption together with state-of-the-art performances (sensitivity, interferers rejection) and with minimal cost.

Thanks to its built-in LDOs, its fully programmable modem and its interface compatible with leading BT baseband controllers, the icyTRX-DM IP is optimized for easy integration into ASICs and SoCs
