XEMICS licenses Bluetooth IP from NewLogic
Neuchatel, Switzerland - March 19th, 2001 -- XEMICS, a fabless semiconductor company, specializing in ultra low power, short range wireless connectivity solutions, and NewLogic Technologies, a leading supplier of Bluetooth intellectual property cores, today announced a licensing deal encompassing NewLogic’s BOOST Core™ and BOOST Software™ IP products.
The deal, the terms of which were not disclosed, allows XEMICS to add Bluetooth functionality to their Bluetooth integrated circuits.
Bluetooth is the new cordless standard that links portable devices to mobile phones and PCs. Providing short range wireless data and voice communication, its small size, low-cost and interoperability have fuelled a burst of new ideas and application possibilities.
NewLogic’s BOOST™ IP family includes a Bluetooth baseband processor, a full Bluetooth software protocol stack and a Bluetooth CMOS radio. These IP elements, when combined with a suitable microcontroller core, permit the implementation of a single chip Bluetooth solution using industry standard CMOS process technologies.
“Our highly optimized Bluetooth integrated circuits offer a generic front end solution to the Bluetooth peripheral and accessories market”, said Mr. Jean-Paul Bardyn, Vice President of Research & Development of XEMICS. “With NewLogic’s Bluetooth BOOSTTM core we can provide a low power Bluetooth solution at low costs”, he added.
“With the demand for Bluetooth products gaining momentum, fast time to market is now a critical factor”, explained Mr. Hans-Peter Metzler, President and CEO of NewLogic Technologies. “By using a pre-qualified Bluetooth IP core, fabless semiconductor companies like XEMICS are able to substantially cut overall development timescales without sacrificing quality.”
