Overview

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

Key specifications

  • 22 nm CMOS
  • Industrial temperature range: -40°C to +85°C
  • Average power consumption for stereo audio streaming: 1.1 mW (Bluetooth EDR) / 0.6 mW (BLE)
  • Best-in-class sensitivity: BLE -98 dBm; EDR -94 dBm
  • Configurable output power: -20 dBm to +10 dBm 

Key features

  • Bluetooth 5.3 Dual-Mode radio, including EDR and LE 2 Mbps to support both BT Classic audio and LE Audio
  • Long Range and Direction Finding (DF) BLE options
  • Flexible modem compatible with 802.15.4-2015 and other modulations (programmable pulse shape, data rate and modulation index)
  • Programmable packet handler, supporting several packet structures, including Link Layer functionalities thanks to hardware accelerators (CCM-AES, CRC,…)

CSEM and USJC team up to develop an ultra-low-power chip

After five years of joint R&D, CSEM and Japanese multinational United Semiconductor Japan Co., Ltd. (USJC)* have developed an ultra-low-power system-on-chip that can be used to run smartphones, tablets and other connected devices. Their technology probably delivers the best performance in the world when it comes to power consumption.

CSEM Bluetooth 5.1 IP icyTRX is ready for LE Audio on multiple processes

January 2020 marks the beginning of a new era for wireless audio, with the arrival of audio streaming over Bluetooth Low Energy (LE Audio), as announced this week by the Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group). CSEM anticipated this new feature in the latest iterations of its silicon-proven icyTRX Bluetooth LE IP, which is already fully compatible
