Evaluation Kit Available for Design Engineers Implementing Wireless Technology with Taiyo Yuden's Bluetooth Modules.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers NOTE TO MEDIA: Photo is available in a Smart News Release(TM) on Business Wire's Home Page at www.businesswire.com SCHAUMBURG, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 6, 2000 Taiyo Yuden Co. Ltd. today announced availability of evaluation kits for its three Bluetooth(TM) Modules, allowing engineers to prepare development environments for evaluating use of these modules in their designs. The kits include each module mounted on an evaluation board, a technical manual, a Host Control Interface (HCI (Human Computer Interaction) Refers to the design and implementation of computer systems that people interact with. It includes desktop systems as well as embedded systems in all kinds of devices. ) command tool (available only with the full module) that allows direct control of the module's HCI software from an external PC, and a UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) The electronic circuit that makes up the serial port. Also known as "universal serial asynchronous receiver transmitter" (USART), it converts parallel bytes from the CPU into serial bits for transmission, and vice interface for RS-232 communications. Taiyo Yuden's Bluetooth Modules are based on the SiW chipset developed by Silicon Wave Inc., a San Diego-based high-frequency semiconductor development company. The single-chip radio modem utilizes Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI (Silicon On Insulator) A chip architecture that increases transistor switching speed by reducing capacitance (build-up of electrical charges in the transistor's elements), and thus reducing the discharge time. The power requirement is also reduced in some designs. ) BiCMOS process technology and direct conversion demodulation demodulation: see modulation. See demodulate. (communications) demodulation - To recover the signal from the carrier. For example, in a radio broadcast using amplitude modulation the audio signal is transmitted as the mean amplitude of a , resulting in high-isolation, low switching loss, use of fewer subcomponents (such as SAW filters or LC filters), and thus lower cost and smaller size. Bluetooth is the next-generation wireless communication specification at the 2.4 GHz band for a small-form factor, low-cost radio solution providing cable-free connections between mobile phones, portable computers and other handheld electronic devices, as well as Internet connectivity. Combining its expertise in multilayered mul·ti·lay·ered adj. Consisting of or involving several individual layers or levels. component manufacturing, high-frequency circuitry design, advanced assembly techniques and evaluation technologies with aggressive Bluetooth research and development and strategic partnerships, Taiyo Yuden is rapidly emerging as a leader in Bluetooth module development and implementation. Among the primary features of the Bluetooth RM Module are a fully digital interface, built-in crystal oscillators, and modem function in the RF chip. Taiyo Yuden's feature-rich RM modules allow expanded design freedom and are currently supported by more than 10 baseband controller manufacturers.
