Integrated Bluetooth/FM Transceiver Manufactured on 65nm

( 1 Mar 2008 )

STMicroelectronics has released its 4th-generation Bluetooth/FM Radio combo solution, the STLC2690, which is manufactured in ultra-low-power 65nm RFCMOS technology. The fully integrated short range FM R(B)DS transmitter (TX) allows users to enjoy stored music content on any in-car or home FM radio tuner and delivers increased versatility to the mobile device.

Compliant with BT v2.1+EDR, the STLC2690 increases the class-1.5 Bluetooth output power, requiring only one supply voltage and without any calibration in production. The Bluetooth link stability is increased by improving the Bluetooth receiver sensitivity, while reducing the current consumption by up to 35 percent compared to former generation products in 130nm technology. The device supports all deployed R(B)DS services and all worldwide FM bands (65MHz to 108MHz).
