BlueMoon shines - Infineon first to receive Bluetooth Qualification for a complete system solution

22 November 2000 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Infineon Technologies announced that its BlueMoon I chipset has received Bluetooth qualification and will be included on the Bluetooth Qualified Product List (BQPL). Infineon says it is the first semiconductor company to receive Bluetooth qualification for a complete system solution including the baseband IC, the radio frequency transceiver as well as the link manager (LM) and host controller interface (HCI) firmware. The qualified BlueMoon solution supports both voice and data.

7 Layers AG, a test solution provider and accredited Bluetooth Qualification Test Facility (BQTF) in Ratingen Germany, performed the conformance testing and qualification. 7 Layers offers full scope Bluetooth conformance and interoperability testing as well as qualification services. The company has three manufacturer-independent Bluetooth Qualification Bodies (BQBs) which are authourised to list the related products on the BQPL. This mandatory qualification is the most important step to the development of Bluetooth compatible end-products, labelled with the Bluetooth logo. This qualification provides Infineon's customers early access to officially proven and tested Bluetooth silicon.

The BlueMoon I chipset consists of two ICs, a versatile baseband IC and a highly integrated RF transceiver. The baseband IC integrates a program ROM containing the complete link manager and host controller Interface as well as an external flash memory interface for rapid prototyping and product adaptation. It supports both data and voice over the UART or voice over the PCM interface. The transceiver integrates the full transmit and receive chains including the VCO, LNA and requires no external SAW or ceramic filters. The excellent performance of the BlueMoon solution gives, at its output power of +4 dBm, a range of up to 100 m.
