Infineon Technologies announced its new state-of-the-art integrated circuit for Bluetooth wireless applications, the BlueMoon UniCellular chip, which it claims is three times faster than any classical Bluetooth solution. It supports the Version 2.0 Bluetooth standard, as well as the new enhanced data rate (EDR) functionality, has extremely low power consumption and possesses superior radio frequency characteristics.
The new enhanced data rate functionality will enable mobile handsets with wireless multimedia capabilities to exchange data three times faster within a 10 meter personal range. The net data rate, previously 721 Kbps, becomes 2,1 Mbps.
Both the reduction of the package size to 5 x 5 mm and the decrease of the number of external components from at least nine to just six results in a Bluetooth chip that covers only 40 mm² of board space, which is half the size of solutions currently available. The transceiver features an outstanding receiver sensitivity of -90 dBm even in enhanced data rate mode, a factor of 10 more than that specified by the Bluetooth Standard.
The BlueMoon UniCellular chip is offered in a WFLGA-56 lead-free and halogen-free package, which is a Very-Very Fine Pitch Land Grid Array package with 56 pins.
