(PRWEB) February 23, 2004 --XEMICS' announces the Bluetooth qualification and production start of its EasyBlue ACL Drop-In board, which significantly reduces the customers time to market as it bridges directly from a 4 wire UART to the air interface.
The XEMICS EasyBlueTM ACL Drop-In board is a Bluetooth qualified, class 2 reference design, to be used as a drop-in solution for all kinds of power sensitive Bluetooth data links. It completely bridges the Host Controller Interface (HCI) to the air interface and provides the full Bluetooth data communication feature set; ranging from high speed communication over 7 slaves to scatter net support. The maximum power consumption of typically 21mA @ 1.8V makes it the ideal solution for any portable application requiring high speed data communication, full networking capabilities and ultra low-power consumption at the same time. Due to the Bluetooth product listing and qualification of the complete radio, antenna and all embedded Bluetooth layers, the design can be used as is.
"Our EasyBlue ACL Drop-In board design, which is using a ROM version of the lower Bluetooth protocol stack, is another key milestone for XEMICS clients. It can be used as a true "Bluetooth drop-in solution", said Remy Pache, XEMICS Vice President Marketing. "This product does remove design risks and costs by offering a proven system solution, especially for first time Bluetooth developers or mid volume projects."
The EasyBlue ACL Drop-In board is designed for low cost volume manufacturing using a standard 4-layer PCB layout and materials. Samples are available through XEMICS. Several 3rd parties offer the product in volume as well as additional design-in support if required. For first time Bluetooth developers, EasyBlue development tools and a starter kit exist as well. Free gerber files are available from XEMICS on demand.
