Bluetooth 5.3 Dual Mode PHY IP

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,…)
