Aura Semiconductor and ARM Partner to Deliver Compelling Wireless Connectivity Solutions for IoT Devices
Aura Semiconductor, a provider of high-performance Radio Frequency (RF)
transceiver solutions, is partnering with ARM (News - Alert) to enable a complete
Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) / 802.15.4 wireless connectivity solution
for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The combination of ARM®
Cordio® radio IP and Aura's RF transceiver will enable a
leading connectivity solution and facilitate greater choice in process
nodes and foundry support.
Aura has the world's smallest IoT radio transceiver IP for BTLE /
802.15.4 standards, with state-of-the-art performance which is capable
of seamless coexistence with other RF technologies. Aura's RF hard IP
occupies less than 0.5 mm2 in area, has a RX peak current of
5.9mA and a TX peak current of 6.1mA from a 1.2V rail.
"We are delighted to partner with ARM on our connectivity solution,"
said Srinath ridharan, CEO of Aura. "We have designed our RF
transceivers to deliver best-in-class performance, while maintaining the
lowest power consumption at a third of the area of most of our
competitors. Combining this high-performance radio with ARM's proven
modem, link-layer and stack will provide a compelling connectivity
systems solution to our customers."
"ARM Cordio products enable choice and flexibility and our partnership
with Aura will ensure they are readily available to the broadest IoT
developer audience," said Bob Morris (News - Alert), Vice President of Marketing,
Wireless Business Unit, ARM. "We welcome Aura to the ARM ecosystem as
its RF transceivers, coupled with ARM Cordio radio IP, will give our
partners greater choice in product features, foundries and process
nodes, further enabling the expanding IoT market."
