Listen In With EasyBlue™     Neuchâtel, Switzerland and Mountain View, CA June 11, 2002       The new XE1401 from XEMICS, offers a generic Bluetooth™ baseband solution to enable your battery operated applications with the Bluetooth™ wireless communication standard in the worldwide available 2.4 GHz ISM band. The XE1401 is optimized for ultra low power consumption (below 2mA) as well as low cost. This easy to use IC requires no external components, and supports several radio devices. It includes all required hardware blocks to comply with the Bluetooth™ communication standard rev.1.1. The XE1401 device is a stand-alone Bluetooth™ baseband protocol-on-chip solution providing the full Bluetooth™ functionality up to the Host Controller Interface (HCI), without the need for any external memory. This ultra low power ''add-on'' Bluetooth™ baseband solution targets all battery-powered applications with an already existing host controller, for example headsets, PCMCIAs, PDAs and personal area networking devices. Having a high speed UART and parallel port for host processor interfacing, using the XE1401's glueless audio interface to XEMICS' XE3006 CODEC the world's lowest power Bluetooth™ headset solution can be built to consume less than 22mW. The first device from the EasyBlue™ product line, the XE1401 including tools, will be demonstrated at the Bluetooth™ Congress in Amsterdam. TRADEMARKS: XEMICS is a registered trademark to XEMICS S.A.
