Promoting Adoption of Bluetooth Communication
Toshiba Corporation announced the start of sample shipments of "TC35661SBG-700", a Bluetooth IC for use in small applications, such as thermal sensors, vibration sensors and toys.
The new IC integrates a rewritable memory for downloading users' custom programs, which are stored in EEPROM. This enables customization without any need for an external microcontroller. The IC promotes adoption of Bluetooth communication for small applications that do not have wireless functions, due to cost and PCB size restrictions.
The IC incorporates the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) that is widely used for smartphones and other mobile equipment, facilitating development of Bluetooth compliant applications.
Applications
General wireless data communication such as remote control, sensor devices, toy; healthcare; and accessories for smartphone.
