Mindtree Unveils Bluetooth Intellectual Property

Mindtree has unveiled its Bluetooth intellectual property offering, designed to provide sensitivity and interference tolerance performance at 1.2V for medical, automotive and digital TV applications. The RF IP is said to complement the company's Bluetooth suite of intellectual property (IP) consisting of baseband controller, digital PHY (physical layer), stack and profiles. With this IP offering, Mindtree now provides customers a single component supplier to address their Bluetooth needs.

The RF IP offers high performance with key advantages of small die size and ultra-low power consumption, making it ideal for integration onto system-on-chip (SoC). As market segments such as medical, healthcare and automotive ramp up Bluetooth adoption and set-top boxes and digital televisions emerge as new Bluetooth segments, the increased volume of Bluetooth shipments will bring down costs. This will in turn necessitate the integration of Bluetooth onto the main SoC of a product or a combination SoC for connectivity along with WLAN, FM and GPS.

Dr Rajesh Zele, vice-president - research and development services at Mindtree, said: 'With the introduction of our RF IP, we are geared to address all the Bluetooth needs of our customers - from antenna to software. 'Our Bluetooth RF IP enables our customers to "Just Add Bluetooth" to any SoC without having to go through expensive multiple spins to get the sensitive RF IPs working in the digital noise dominated substrate,' Zele added. The Bluetooth RF IP is targeted at the 65nm CMOS process. It is compliant with Bluetooth specification v2.1+EDR and is easily adaptable to the Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth love energy) specification.

Mindtree has been an active Bluetooth SIG member since 2000, participating in the Bluetooth standardisation process and several working groups. Several of Mindtree's Bluetooth IPs have been qualified for 2.1+EDR specifications and have been proven in multiple products for interoperability and robustness. Mindtree also offers product realisation services along with its IP to enable faster time-to-market for its customers.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
