Toshiba Starts Sample Shipments of Bluetooth IC for Small Sized Applications – Sep 30, 2013– Tokyo, Japan (Techreleased) – Toshiba Corporation today 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.
