Mindtree's BlueLitE Link Layer combined with a unique set of technology components
from NXP Semiconductors has delivered the industry's first multi-protocol radio MCU to
support concurrent operation of IEEE(R) 802.15.4 and Bluetooth(R) low energy v4.2. This
makes the Kinetis KW41Z MCU, ideal for the emerging building automation and medical,
Internet of Things (IoT) markets, and also for traditional markets such as wearable
devices, remote controls and toys.
BlueLitE, Mindtree's Bluetooth(R) Smart Semiconductor IP is certified by Bluetooth
Qualification Body (BQB) and is designed for low footprint and ultra-low power
consumption. BlueLitE supports all mandatory and optional features of the Bluetooth low
energy specifications, enabling our customer products to be versatile, targeting multiple
industry segments. BlueLitE helps Semiconductor OEMs to significantly reduce engineering
effort and time-to-market. BlueLitE has integrated advanced power management features and
easily portable across MCU architectures, different RF interfaces and OS.
"The IoT world mandates that connectivity options like 802.15.4 co-exist with
Bluetooth Smart, requiring a flexible and configurable IP," said Jayanth Krishna, General
Manager, Short-range Wireless, Mindtree. "The seamless integration of our BlueLitE IP with
NXP's other components combined with excellent collaboration between the teams have
produced a winning solution for our client."
"Adding Mindtree's low power Bluetooth IP has allowed us to create a highly optimized
and unique multi-protocol radio MCU targeting the Internet of Things market," said
Emmanuel Sambuis, Vice President Microcontrollers and Connectivity Products at NXP
Semiconductors. "Mindtree's underlying IP and exemplary support helped us reduced time to
market and product development cost while achieving exceptional power consumption.
Mindtree and NXP are also working closely on next-generation devices that will enable new
markets to target Bluetooth Smart."
Mindtree is in its 17th year of offering a comprehensive portfolio of Bluetooth
intellectual property solutions and a range of design, engineering, testing and consulting
services to semiconductor vendors and OEMs. It was the first to qualify for Bluetooth
Smart v4.2 and offers a clear roadmap for the adoption of v5.0 Bluetooth specification.
The IP portfolio includes certified, customizable, ultra-low power and footprint Silicon
IP for Bluetooth(R) Smart 4.2 and 5, and ultra-compact, complete certified protocol Stack
and Profiles Software. Mindtree also offers a feature-rich and compact Bluetooth Smart
Mesh, IPv6, Bluetooth(R) Smart Ready 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2 and Bluetooth(R) Classic protocol
stack and profiles.
