TEXAS INSTRUMENTS UNVEILS FIRST COIN CELL DEMO FOR BLUETOOTH.At the Bluetooth low energy technology conference in Munich, Germany, Texas Instruments See TI. (company) Texas Instruments - (TI) A US electronics company. A TI engineer, Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit in 1958. Three TI employees left the company in 1982 to start Compaq. Incorporated (TI) (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :TXN TXN Texas Instruments (stock symbol) TXN Transaction (databases) TXN Tunxi, China (Airport Code) TXN Tarxien (postal locality, Malta) ) has showcased the world's first coin cell demo for the new Bluetooth low energy open standard based on TI's upcoming CC2540 single-mode system-on-chip. Bluetooth low energy enables applications, such as sports and fitness equipment, medical and health, home and office, and mobile accessories, to use coin cell and energy harvesting Energy harvesting (also known as Power harvesting or energy scavenging) is the process by which energy is captured and stored. Frequently this term is applied when speaking about small autonomous devices, like those used in sensor networks. solutions to operate for more than a year on a tiny button cell battery without recharging. Bluetooth low energy from TI -- TI supports both dual-mode and single-mode solutions -- Dual-mode devices can communicate with legacy Bluetooth as well as Bluetooth low energy devices and support both protocols -- Single-mode devices only support Bluetooth low energy and are optimized for low-power, low-cost applications -- TI has demonstrated the world's first single-chip, single-mode Bluetooth low energy device featuring controller, host and application in a 6mm x 6mm package CC2540 features and benefits: -- One-chip integrated solution reduces physical size and cost -- Flash-based device enables device firmware A category of memory chips that hold their content without electrical power. Firmware includes flash, ROM, PROM, EPROM and EEPROM technologies. When holding program instructions, firmware can be thought of as "hard software." See flash memory, ROM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM and FOTA. to be updated in the field and data can be stored on-chip, increasing flexibility for developers -- Complete solution with low-power RF ICs, protocol stack The set of protocols used in a communications network. A protocol stack is a prescribed hierarchy of software layers, starting from the application layer at the top (the source of the data being sent) to the data link layer at the bottom (transmitting the bits on the wire). , basic profile software and applications support -- Ultra-low power consumption for very long battery life and use of coin cells or alkaline batteries (no need for rechargeable batteries) -- CC2540 customer samples will be available in early 2010 Find out more about TI's Bluetooth low energy solutions and low-power RF portfolio at the links below: -- TI's complete Bluetooth low energy solutions: www.ti.com/bluetoothlowenergy-pr bbbbbb -- Quickly search TI's entire low-power RF portfolio or download the latest selection guide: www.ti.com/lprf-pr -- Learn more about TI's ultra-low power MSP (1) (Management Service Provider or Managed Service Provider) An organization that manages a customer's computer systems and networks which are either located on the customer's premises or at a third-party datacenter. 430 MCUs: www.ti.com/msp430 -- TI's low-power RF E2E E2E End To End E2E Entry to Employment (UK Government training) E2E Engineer to Engineer E2E Enterprise to Enterprise E2E Employee-to-Employee (enterprise software) online community: www.ti.com/lprf-forum About Texas Instruments Texas Instruments (NYSE:TXN) helps customers solve problems and develop new electronics that make the world smarter, healthier, safer, greener and more fun.
