Bluetooth Baseband Processors and Protocol Software

The Silicon Wave family of baseband processors provides the essential Bluetooth baseband link control and link manager firmware in a highly integrated system-on-chip package.

Silicon Wave offers a variety of baseband processors to satisfy the requirements of specific applications. Baseband processors with external flash memory provide maximum application flexibility while baseband processors with integrated ROM provide a low cost, small footprint, low power solution.

Silicon Wave provides a very efficient, fully featured, product-proven Bluetooth protocol stack up to HCI. This software ensures robust and reliable Bluetooth connectivity. It has also been tested for interoperability with numerous higher layer software stacks. This protocol stack, together with the Silicon Wave hardware, provides the lowest power operation and fastest time to market.


SIW1602 Baseband Processor

The SiW1602 Baseband Processor interfaces directly with the SiW1502 Radio Modem IC and provides power control, data packet processing, error-detection/correction and other data processing functions. The SiW1602 also contains a USB controller which provides an easy method to implement the USB host interface
