A wide range of wireless connectivity SoCs are already available to meet a consumer, automotive, healthcare, and industrial systems, but the industry still needs effective solutions to meet the more demanding advanced consumer designs, without price penalties.
The new Synaptics SYN20708 explicitly targets use cases that demand low latency, superior range, low power, and seamless interoperability with low system cost and minimal design complexity. Specific applications include dedicated home hubs, soundbars, automotive infotainment systems, control panels, and other advanced systems.
"With wireless IoT networks and nodes proliferating rapidly, we believe the SYN20708 provides device makers with a high-performance BT/BLE and 802.15.4 dual-core connectivity solution that delivers now on the need for flexible and robust connectivity," says Vineet Ganju, VP of Wireless Marketing at Synaptics. "The SoC comes with Veros' renowned software and ease of integration, allowing customers to innovate swiftly while meeting the most demanding latency and range requirements."
The highly integrated SYN20708 solution is based on a modular software architecture that streamlines the development of devices compatible with multiple heterogeneous wireless connections and protocols. This is made possible by the built-in support for dual-antenna maximum ratio combining (MRC) and transmit beamforming (TxBF) to increase the range over two times compared to existing devices.
Part of the Synaptics Veros Seamless Intelligent Connectivity family, the SYN20708 is available now.
