EE Times:
Wireless semiconductor IP and solutions supplier Redpine Signals has introduced the Pine1-LP WLAN platform, which the company claims to be the lowest power 802.11 B/G licensable platform available.
According to Redpine, which is headquartered in Santa Clara, Calif., and running a development centre in Hyderabad, the Pine1-LP represents second generation WLAN architecture. With its combined baseband, media access controller core size under 6 square millimeters, and low power profile, the part suits low-power, cost-sensitive applications such as single and dual-mode mobile handsets, PDAs, digital cameras, MP3 players, gaming and printing platforms.
“Extensive use of low-power design techniques enables fine control of power in the various portions of the WLAN system using patent pending algorithms in the BBP/MAC and associated software,” said Balraj Singh, vice president of marketing for Redpine Signals, in a statement.
