SyChip Introduces a Chip Scale WLAN-Bluetooth Module


WLBT811x Module Resolves WLAN/Bluetooth Coexistence Problem

PLANO, Texas, Jan. 8 -- SyChip, a leader in Radio Frequency Chip Scale Modules (CSM) today announced the WLBT811x dual radio product family. These highly integrated modules combine 802.11b/g Wireless LAN and Bluetooth® v2.0 Enhanced Data Rate functions into a compact footprint occupying just 110 square millimeters. The small area enables mobile device manufacturers to quickly integrate WLAN and Bluetooth. Further, the WLBT811x solves the difficult problem of coexistence in the 2.4GHz radio band where both WLAN and Bluetooth must operate in very close proximity.

"The WLAN attach rate is rapidly increasing in cellular phones and other mobile consumer devices. As the number of radios and antennas increase, the technology that SyChip provides is critical for these manufactures to maintain performance while achieving small size and low cost," said Moses Asom, co- founder and senior vice president of marketing and business development, SyChip. "Along with the high level of integration, our customers are taking advantage of SyChip's systems engineering efforts to solve the coexistence problem which, up until this point, had been a major design challenge."

The WLBT811x product family incorporates 3-wire active signaling along with adaptive frequency hopping per the IEEE 802.15.2 standard to achieve excellent coexistence performance in either single or dual antenna configuration. Applications ranging from basic data, web surfing, mono and stereo audio to streaming media are optimized to fulfill our customers' needs.
