BLE 4.2 SoC White Box IP

Overview

The BLE 4.2 SoC White Box IP solution is the design data base of a fully compliant BLE 4.2 production chip with SW and profiles including Mesh and Audio profiles allowing easy connectivity with Bluetooth Smart Ready mobile phones, tablets, laptops. The IP supports BLE slave and master mode operation, including broadcast, encryption, connection updates, and channel map updates.

The IP is designed to offer high integration, ultra-low power application capabilities. It integrates strong 32-bit MCU, BLE/2.4G Radio (2Mbps) , 16KB SRAM, 14bit ADC with PGA, 6-channel PWM, three quadrature decoders, a hardware keyboard scanner (Keyscan), abundant GPIO interfaces, multi-stage power management module.
The IP is available in the following forms:
- KGD or packaged parts
- GDS II production licenses
- Grey Box (Analog/RF GDSII, Digital, FW, SW as source code)
- White Box (Source Code of complete design data base)
