Wipro-NewLogic, a provider of Bluetooth and Wireless Local Area Network Intellectual Properties (IPs), announced that its Bluetooth 2.1+Enhanced Data Rate RF IP (BOOST RF) and IEEE 802.11a/b/g WLAN RF IP (WiLD 90 RF) are silicon proven in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (News - Alert) Company (TSMC) 90nm.

 

Bluetooth and Wireless LAN interfaces have been common in many of today’s communication devices including cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), portable media players, gaming chipsets, ultra mobile PCs and mobile Internet devices (MIDs). Availability of complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS)-based RF IPs in high-end technology enables integration of the complete wireless interface into the communication system-on-chip (SoC) and smaller devices with higher battery life, said Wipro (News - Alert)-NewLogic.

 

Wipro Bluetooth and Wireless LAN RF IPs have been the catalysts for highly integrated and competitive wireless solutions in consumer electronics, gaming and wireless sensors markets, says Senthil Murugesan, CEO of Wipro-NewLogic.

 

“Providing leading edge RF IP enabling newer types of SoC integration has always been our differentiator,” said Murugesan. “We are currently working with our customers to develop completely integrated wireless interface based SoCs with our Wireless IPs.”

 

Having served the industry for more than eight years, Wipro-NewLogic has significant experience in providing RF IP ready for integration into customer SoC.

 

Wipro’s BOOST RF is provided with an integrated digital modem and RF controller, analog to digital converter and digital to analog converter, TX power amplifier, RX/TX switch, reducing the number of external components

 

BOOST RF, when combined with BOOST Core Bluetooth 2.1+EDR baseband, provides a highly flexible and comprehensive solution for Bluetooth centric application chips such as headsets and for integration into wireless connectivity combos and application processors.

 

WiLD90 RF, the second generation of 802.11a/b/g radio IP from Wipro-NewLogic, features all the functions for a dual-band, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio. By integrating different components such as power amplifiers and RX/TX switch, the radio IP provides a complete wireless LAN solution for integration into a SoC.

 

Further, WiLD90 RF is designed with an upgrade path to an 802.11n radio in mind. Wipro-NewLogic says it already offers an improved receive and transmit performance that is aligned with the specification of the IEEE802.11n standard.
