National Semiconductor revealed at Wireless Systems Conference, San Jose, its WPAN (wireless personal area network) module designed to enable Class 2/3 Bluetooth connectivity in portable communications and computing devices. Claimed to be one of the industry's smallest complete Bluetooth modules, the LMX9814 measures just 10,1 x 14 x 1,9 mm and is especially suited for small portable products as well as less space-constrained applications such as desktop computing, printer and scanner products.
The LMX9814 is based on National's LMX5250 CMOS radio and LMX5100 baseband processor. In addition to full Bluetooth (V1.1) capabilities, it integrates Flash memory, front end filtering, receive/transmit switching, localised supply voltage decoupling, and USB and UART host control interfaces. The LMX9814 has an external antenna and can accept a wide range of system clocks from 10 to 26 MHz. It supports Bluetooth Class 2/3 transmit power levels, which specify a nominal transmit power of up to +4 decibels referenced to milliwatts (dBm).
National Semiconductor is represented by Arrow Altech Distribution, 011 923 9600 and EBV-Electrolink, 021 421 5350.
