Dialog Semiconductor plc has announced SmartPulse™

Published:2011/9/13 22:37:00 Author:Phyllis From:SeekIC

SmartPulse™, the world’s first family of IC based devices, is recently released by Dialog Semiconductor plc which is interoperable with the DECT ULE (ultra low energy) wireless standard.

These SmartPulse ICs are designed for use in ultra low power wireless applications, such as home automation, healthcare, security, and energy monitoring consumer applications. With the SmartPulse wireless sensors, products will be able to self configure and connect with a DECT ULE enabled hub device or IP gateway.

The rise of the smartphone and tablet pc has led to a shift that enables ease of control. By connecting SmartPulse devices to the web consumers can seamlessly and securely control multiple home systems with ease from anywhere.

SC14WSMDATA and SC14WSMDECT wireless sensor nodes are in the list of Dialog’s product launch, which run for up to 10 years on a single AAA battery, and the SC14CVMDECT base station device that can be integrated into standalone hub products or internet gateways. The SC14WSMDATA and SC14WSMDECT sensor nodes integrate the baseband, radio transceiver, antenna, and power amplifier into a single system-in-package IC.

The SC14CVMDECT base station device supports both voice and data, connecting with up to six voice and 256 data sensor nodes, and supports the DECT ULE, DECT 6.0 and CAT-iq standards. The system in package IC integrates a UART interface for external hosts, is easily programmable using its AT command set and requires no wireless network planning.

A major advantage of DECT is that it is easy to install because DECT configures itself. Another advantage is that DECT can bring voice into applications, which is particularly important for health care applications.

All SmartPulse devices transmit 232 bit packet data in the 1870-1930MHz licensed DECT band. With a link budget of 123dB, systems that integrate SmartPulse sensors can reliably stream data throughout even large family homes and gardens.

All devices will be available in high volume quantities from October 2011. A small footprint variant is planned for the second half of 2012.
