Ericsson, National Semiconductor Sign Bluetooth Licensing Agreement
December 5, 2002 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Stockholm, Sweden -- Ericsson Technology Licensing has signed a licensing agreement to provide its latest Bluetooth radio core, the K-D1, to National Semiconductor, an analog company focused on the market for wireless handsets.
National plans to introduce products incorporating Ericsson's radio next year.
The Bluetooth radio core K-D1 from Ericsson gives National Semiconductor a Bluetooth design solution that can be completely ported into its manufacturing process. This enables National Semiconductor to differentiate products for different manufacturing processes and different market segments.
The fourth generation radio is the latest in Bluetooth radio design and features complete on-chip integration of the radio front end using a 0.18-micron RFCMOS process with some key features as lowest external components count and no radio sensitive external components. The package includes evaluation hardware and design database, as well as simulation results and schematics. Furthermore, qualified samples manufactured in the foundry mother process are also included. This has been proven to accelerate the process of porting and to minimize engineering efforts.
Ericsson Technology Licensing develops state-of-the-art Bluetooth design solutions optimized for mobile communication, computing and media devices. For more information, visit www.ericsson.com/bluetooth.
