August 19, 2010 10:45 am | by Jay Tyzzer, Nordic Semiconductor | Articles | CommentsLast December, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) announced in a statement that it had adopted Bluetooth low energy wireless technology and that the much anticipated ultra-low power (ULP) form of the popular wireless technology, would be the hallmark feature of the Bluetooth Core Specification Version 4.
Wireless PC Peripherals Point the Way for RF Remote Control
July 8, 2010 1:02 pm | by Sveen-Tore Larsen, Nordic Semiconductor | Articles | CommentsConsumers are starting to complain about infrared (IR) remote control’s inability to cope with the demands of modern media devices. A recent study by Strategy Analytics1, for instance, found that while early adopters of advanced Internet TV services (such as AppleTV, Hulu, and AT&T U-Verse) value the ability to personalize and share their content, the adoption rate could be slowed because consumers “want better control devices and superior user experience”.
A/D Converter Provides Twice the Sample Rate for Wireless Communications
December 14, 2009 11:48 am | Product Releases | CommentsTexas Instruments' new analog-to-digital-converter (ADC) combines 12 bits of resolution with a 1-GSPS sampling rate, effectively doubling the amount of signal bandwidth that can be captured in a single ADC. The ADS5400 offers an unmatched signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 59 dBFS and 75 dBc spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) in first Nyquist, and 58 dBFS SNR and 70 dBc SFDR performance for intermediate frequencies (IFs) beyond 1000 MHz.
