ONsemi Expands Portfolio of Bluetooth LE Solutions With Innovative Smart Sensing Features

ONsemi (previously known as ON Semiconductor), a semiconductor manufacturer with a vast product portfolio of power, signal conditioning, interfaces, and sensing technologies, announced its new, secure RSL15 wireless microcontroller (MCU) that provides the industry’s lowest power consumption. Enabled with Bluetooth Low Energy 5.2 wireless connectivity, the RSL15 addresses the growing demand of connected applications requiring security without sacrificing power consumption.

CEVA unveiled its new ultra-low power RivieraWaves UWB platform IP targeting mobile, automotive, consumer and IoT applications, lowering the entry barriers for companies to include UWB in their chip designs. With this new solutions, developers are able to benefit from CEVA's combined IP offering of Bluetooth and UWB technologies for new use cases in emerging high-volume applications.

NXP Semiconductors has announced that it now offers beta Ultra-Wideband (UWB) development tools from its NXP Trimension portfolio that interoperate with the U1 chip in supported Apple products. The beta development tools will allow developers to kick-start the design of innovative applications that interact with UWB enabled Apple products including iPhone and Apple Watch, unleashing the ability to create more precise, directionally aware app experiences.
