Controller, Modem, Software Stack and Profiles for Dual Mode Bluetooth v5.2 and v5.3

Overview

BlueWiz is LTIMindtree’s complete Dual Mode Bluetooth solution. Today, Mindtree is the only company that provides a complete solution for Dual Mode Bluetooth, which includes the controller, modem, and protocol stack, with the exception of the radio. Mindtree has partnered with leading Dual Mode Radio IP vendors across the globe to offer a robust solution.

LTIMindtree’s BlueWiz 5.3 IP is a dual mode silicon IP consisting of the controller, digital PHY (modem), protocol stack, and profiles to meet the Bluetooth dual mode specifications. Mindtree’s dual mode BlueWiz 5.3 IP is a combination of classic and Bluetooth low energy IPs in mass production with multiple leading semiconductor companies across the globe.

The controller IP is a Hardware-Firmware co-design. The software is implemented in ANSI-C, which is designed for portability across various MCU/DSP architectures. The modem is completely in RTL and supports all seven different data rates.

Key Features
