The mixed-signal TC35679IFTG contains both analogue RF and baseband digital parts to provide a complete solution in a single, compact and low-profile, 40-pin 6mm x 6mm x 1mm QFN \u2018wettable flank\u2019 package, with a pin pitch of 0.5mm.<br \/>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7565662001938327\" data-ad-slot=\"7585079586\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><br \/>\nThe TC35679 provides Bluetooth\u00a0Host Control Interface (HCI) functions alongside low energy GATT profile functions (as defined by Bluetooth) specifications.<\/p>\n<p>The new IC becomes a fully-fledged application processor when used in conjunction with an external non-volatile memory, or can be used in combination with an external host processor.<\/p>\n<p>The highly integrated device is based on an ARM\u00a0Cortex-M0 processor and includes a sizeable 384kB of on-board mask ROM to support the Bluetooth\u00a0baseband process and a further 192kB of on-board RAM for Bluetooth\u00a0application programs and data.<\/p>\n<p>A key feature of the TC35679 is its ability to form part of sophisticated systems as a result of 17 General Purpose IO (GPIO) lines and multiple communications options including SPI, I2C and a 921.6kbps, two-channel UART.<\/p>\n<p>The GPIO lines offer access to a range of on-chip features including a wake-up interface, four-channel PWM interface, 6-channel AD converter and the ability to control the control interface of an optional external power amplifier for applications requiring a longer reach.<\/p>\n<p>On chip DC-DC converter or LDO circuits adjust the external voltage supply to the required values on chip.<\/p>\n<p>Designed for compliance with AEC-Q100, the low energy IC is primarily intended to be used in automotive applications.<\/p>\n<p>The wettable flank package supports the 100% automatic visual inspection needed to deliver the high levels of soldering quality required to withstand vibration experienced in automotive applications.<\/p>\n<p>Current applications include remote key systems and reducing cables by providing a reliable wireless connection to sensors.<\/p>\n<p>The device will also facilitate remote connection to diagnostic equipment, creating a Bluetooth \u2018soft\u2019 On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) port, thereby saving the cost and weight of the associated cabling and OBD connector.<\/p>\n<p>The TC35679 accepts a wide range of supply voltages (1.8-3.6V) making it ideal for automotive applications. Operating temperature range is -40\u02daC to 105\u02daC for input voltages from 2.7V to 3.6V and -40\u02daC to 85\u02daC from 1.8V to 3.6V.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced a new IC that is compliant with Bluetooth\u00a0Low Energy (LE) core specification 4.2 including support for secure connection, LE privacy features and extended packet length support.
