Promoting Adoption of Communication Functions for Wearable Healthcare Devices
TOKYO – Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502) today announced the launch of "TC35667FTG", a low power Bluetooth® IC that supports Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE)[1] communications. Sample shipments start today.
Recently, the number of Bluetooth® Smart[2] devices offering Bluetooth® LE compatibility is growing. The new IC adopts an original low-power circuit design and integrates a highly efficient DC-DC converter, reducing peak current consumption to below 6mA and deep sleep current consumption to below 100nA. It promotes long life for small coin cell batteries and will facilitate adoption of Bluetooth® LE communications for small devices, such as wearable healthcare devices, sensors and toys.
The IC also integrates an ARM® processor, enabling download and execution of customer programs stored in EEPROM. It supports customization of applications, eliminating need for any external microcontroller.
Toshiba will expand the device line-up to include in automotive applications, supporting a wide range of Bluetooth® Smart devices.
Key Features ■Low power consumption: ·Less than 6mA at peak consumption (@3.3V, -4dBm Transmitter output power or Receiver operation) ·Less than 100nA in deep sleep (@3.3V) ■Receiver sensitivity: -91dBm ■Supports Bluetooth® LE central and peripheral devices ■Supports servers and client functions defined by GATT (Generic Attribute Profile)
Applications Bluetooth® Smart devices, such as wearable devices, healthcare devices, smart phone accessories, remote controllers, and toys.
MainSpecifications
[1] Low power consuming communication technology defined as Bluetooth® Ver. 4.0. [2] Devices that adopt Bluetooth® core specification Ver. 4.0 or higher with low energy core configuration, and that use GATT (General Attribute Profile) based architecture specified in Bluetooth® Ver.4.0. * Bluetooth SIG owns the registered trademark, Toshiba uses it under license. * ARM and the ARM logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of ARM Limited in the EU and other countries.
