Texas Instruments (TI) today announced the launch of its next-generation BlueLink 6.0 platform, which combines the industry's best-performing Bluetooth wireless technology with high-fidelity FM stereo and monotonic performance into a single chip. The BlueLink 6.0 platform provides complete hardware and software support, which not only makes design a breeze, but also helps mobile device manufacturers speed time to market. In addition, TI's solution also enables handheld terminals to transmit FM stereo music to Bluetooth headsets.Because both Bluetooth and FM functions are integrated on the same chip, this solution ensures optimal RF coexistence between the two functions. In addition, it significantly reduces power consumption in the most common modes of operation such as paging and query scanning. The BlueLink 6.0 single-chip also integrates TI's Bluetooth/WLAN coexistence hardware and software solution for optimal bandwidth and resource sharing through its collaborative interface with TI's WiLinkTM mobile WLAN solution.
The BlueLink 6.0 platform includes TI BlueLink Bluetooth, the FM protocol stack, and all the software needed to work with the TI OMAPTM platform, the OMAP-VoxTM chipset, which supports technologies such as GSM, GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, and UMTS. The solution provides designers with a high degree of flexibility, whether working with Symbian, Linux or Microsoft's Windows Mobile OS.
The BlueLink 6.0 platform (BRF6350), built on TI's innovative 90nm DRPTM technology, is the industry's smallest Bluetooth and FM single-chip solution for the lowest overall system cost. The perfect integration of Bluetooth and FM not only enables resource sharing, but also reduces the number of external components and reduces the overall die size, thus helping customers to significantly reduce cost and size. The solution's board space is reduced by 25% compared to discrete solutions.
The BRF6350 also offers a Radio Digital System (RDS) feature that allows users to instantly tune to a radio station without having to spend time searching. In addition, RDS also supports interactive services that provide users with visual information about the songs they are playing on the radio or the artists they are playing, so they can vote by phone, buy concert tickets, and ring tones.
Samples are now available in BlueLink 6.0 and modules in Wafer Level Packaging (WSP).
