Atlantik Elektronik presents Bluetooth low energy platform µEnergy based on Bluetooth v.4.0

Highly integrated single-mode Bluetooth low energy chips from CSR

Planegg, August 30, 2010
Atlantik Elektronik presents the Bluetooth low energy platform µEnergy, based on Bluetooth 4.0. The CSR µEnergy platform, addressing the needs of ultra low power connected devices, will provide everything required to create a Bluetooth low energy product with RF, baseband, microcontroller, qualified Bluetooth v4.0 stack, and customer applications running on a single chip. The CSR µEnergy Bluetooth low energy platform will enable ultra low power connectivity for applications previously limited by the power consumption, size constraints and complexity of other wireless standards.

“This µEnergy platform unlocks the potential of the Buetooth low energy standard and is a huge step forward in consumer wireless technology. Bluetooth low energy technology can be deployed in a variety of everyday devices,“ commented Ottmar Flach CEO, Atlantik Elektronik GmbH. “The ultra low power consumption of CSR´s µEnergy enables a new range of accessories to connect to mobile phones, TV, PC, media player or tablet, enabling consumers to experience the power of these services in the home or products that they carry.”

Bluetooth low energy sensors in consumer products will enable their behaviour to be customised to the needs of the user, and tags will enable consumers to search and locate products and services around them.

CSR´s µEnergy platform has been optimised to support only Bluetooth low energy features, allowing products to be tiny, cost-effective and power-efficient. The µEnergy platform offers single mode chips that complement CSRs dual-mode offerings and provide a complete range of Bluetooth low energy solutions that will drive the development of this new market.

The CSR µEnergy platform with its built-in processor, is designed for use in consumer products and requires no external processor to run consumer applications. It includes four quadurature decoders to enable mouse and pointing devices, three analogue inputs for direct measurement of sensor, and digital serial connectors for external sensors and displays.

The chips each have direct antenna connections, can connect directly to a 3V coin cell or a pair of AAA batteries, and come with three pulse width modulation outputs for variable power control in applications such as lighting control or vibration motors. They can run in optimized sleep modes with current as low as 600nA and chips can “wake” quickly in response to external input signals for applications such as remote controls. Both chips provide embedded support for keyboard scanning while “asleep” at less than 5µA.
