NXP’s Kinetis KW41Z microcontroller incorporates MindTree’s 4.2 Bluetooth Smart IP, BlueLitE.
Mindtree has revealed that its BlueLitE IP is integrated in NXP’s Kinetis KW41Z microcontroller (MCU) from NXP Semiconductors. The MCU was announced last month .
The BlueLitE Link Layer has enabled what the companies are called the industry’s first multi-protocol radio MCU that supports IEEE 802.15.4 standard and Bluetooth v4.2. The Kinetis KW41Z MCU is being targeted at building automation and medical IoT devices, other wearable devices, remote controls and toys.
BlueLitE Bluetooth Smart semiconductor IP is certified by the Bluetooth Qualification Body. It features Bluetooth Low Energy specifications, integrated power management features, various RF interfaces and OS.
Mindtree and NXP are working on next-generation devices targeted at new markets for Bluetooth Smart, according to Emmanuel Sambuis, VP Microcontrollers and Connectivity Products, NXP Semiconductors.
