Infineon Introduces Wireless Receivers For Automotive and Consumer Applications Offering Highest Sensitivity, Low Power Consumption and Flexible Multi-Protocol Support

Neubiberg, Germany - Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) today introduced an enhanced family of three wireless control receivers offering highest available sensitivity and low power consumption. The TDA5240, TDA5235 and TDA5225 devices provide multi-band support (315MHz, 434MHz, 868MHz and 915MHz) for worldwide coverage and are well-suited for use in various automotive applications, including Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) systems, Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS), remote start, control, status and alarm functions. In addition, industrial and consumer systems such as short range radio data transmission, garage door openers, cordless alarm systems, remote metering and low-power telemetry will benefit from the high-integrated wireless control devices. The receivers also are capable of taking over some of the tasks that are typically performed by the system's microcontroller.

The TDA5240, TDA5235 and TDA5325 are successors to the TDA5230/31 receiver family. Two of the devices include the powerful digital data processing introduced with the TDA5230/31, with overall performance and feature set enhancements. Functionalities like IF filter (optional usage of external filter is possible) and level shifters are now integrated. Only a few external components are needed which leads to reduced BOM. An innovative integrated Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) concept provides the system developers with enhanced design alternatives. Depending on the application needs this LNA can extend the system range or eliminate the need for an external LNA to reduce system complexity and costs.

'Introduction of this new series of wireless control receivers underlines Infineon's market leadership in the RKE receiver segment,' said Matthias Halsband, Director Wireless Sense and Control within the Automotive division at Infineon Technologies. 'The new devices combine highest sensitivity and low power consumption with multi-protocol handling to increase performance and reduce system cost.'

High sensitivity of the new family (typically -119dBm for FSK and typically -116dBm for ASK) is due to a reduced noise figure and noise bandwidth using improved digital signal processing. Compared to Infineon's current receiver products, which offer an average data rate of 40kchip/s, the TDA5240/35/25 devices provide a data rate with several embedded encodings and modulation schemes specified at up to 112kchip/s (FSK).

System designers can use the multi-band, multi-channel receivers for systems operating at frequency bands 315/434/868/915MHz, with one crystal for all supported frequency bands. A high-resolution sigma-delta fractional-N PLL synthesizer provides a fine multi-channel resolution of 10.5Hz.

Multi-protocol handling enables flexible designs based on one platform. The receivers are able to handle data from both RKE and TPMS transmitters, even when they have different modulation, bit rate, and data format. Therefore only one device can be used for multiple applications (RKE, TPMS, remote start, etc.) where today there is the need for two.

The wireless control receivers are based on a CMOS process providing low power consumption. The supply current is only 0.8μA in power down and 12mA in run mode. An ultrafast fallback to sleep function reduces the receiver's active time, when no data is available for further reduction of the average power consumption. Up to four parallel parameter sets for autonomous scanning and reception from different sources reduce significantly the host processor and system standby power consumption.

The TDA5240 and TDA5235 support an autonomous receive mode where desired payload is automatically extracted and interrupts can trigger the host controller to read payload from the FIFO memory. The host controller remains asleep when unwanted RF-signals are received. This reduces noise from the host controller, which further improves sensitivity and reduces power consumption of the system. Support for additional encodings (bi-phase, NRZ) and market-leading coverage of automotive RKE/PASE/TPMS protocols results in high flexibility while minimizing software development effort. The TDA5225 comes without digital baseband processing to support designs based on standard concepts with data processed in the microcontroller.

Availability and Pricing

The product family members differentiate mainly in the multi-channel and digital baseband functionality. The new pin-compatible TDA5240/35/25 wireless control receivers in TSSOP-28 packages are available in volume production. The automotive qualified devices operate at a supply voltage of 3.3V or 5.0V and at the temperature range of -40 °C to 105 °C. Single unit price for 50k ordering quantities starts at Euro 0.80 (US $1.10) for the TDA5225. In addition, Infineon provides starter kits and tools to support the design-in of the new devices.

Further information on the TDA5240/35/25 wireless control receivers is available at www.infineon.com/wirelesscontrol and at www.infineon.com/TDA5240, www.infineon.com/TDA5235 and at www.infineon.com/TDA5225

IBM and MEMSIC Bring Ease of Use to Wireless Sensors

MEMSIC Adopts IBM Software to Enable Organizations to More Easily Harness Sensors and Find Patterns in Ubiquitous Data

ROSEMONT, Ill. - IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced a contract with MEMSIC Inc. (Nasdaq: MEMS), a leading micro-electromechanical systems and sensor solution provider, to offer one of its most popular sensors with new IBM software that enables enterprises to build smarter products and systems. The announcement was made at the 2010 Sensors Expo & Conference.

Today, companies and governments are working to take advantage of wireless sensors and data analytics to: reduce cost and waste; improve efficiency and productivity; improve the ability to anticipate changes; and raise the quality of services, such as, healthcare, building maintenance and transportation. However, programming and connecting wireless sensors can be challenging, therefore limiting the ability of companies, governments and universities to take advantage of wireless sensor technology.

To change this, MEMSIC will bundle its IRIS wireless sensor motes with a new software platform called Mote Runner. Invented by IBM scientists in Zurich, Switzerland, this advanced hardware and software combination offers organizations a proven, low-cost sensor with open, portable, and developer-friendly software.

Motes -- also known as wireless sensor nodes -- gather sensory information, such as temperature, movement, or light and communicate that data across a network of wireless sensors.

Separately, IBM also announced the availability of the Mote Runner development kit as a free download on its emerging technologies website www.alphaworks.ibm.com.

"As a leading sensor manufacturer and wireless sensor networking infrastructure solution provider we are delighted to see ease of use brought to wireless sensor networks without compromising efficiency," said Steve Tsui, Vice President of Worldwide Sales, System Business at MEMSIC, Inc. "We share the same vision as IBM, of a world that is instrumented and connected with sensors, which is why we are pre-installing Mote Runner on our IRIS mote. This powerful combination will provide an efficient, scalable, easy to implement and cost effective solution."

About IRIS and Mote Runner

The MEMSIC IRIS is a 2.4 GHz wireless sensor mote used for enabling low-power wireless sensor networks, such as monitoring the temperature and electricity in a high rise office building or traffic patterns on a busy intersection.

Now pre-installed with Mote Runner, IRIS users can benefit from:

* The use of a programming language such as Java, in combination with a highly efficient virtual machine developed from the ground up for use in sensor networks, provides application portability while shielding developers from the complexities of the underlying hardware without sacrificing performance
* A simulation environment, a web-based management dashboard, and an integrated development environment based on Eclipse, provide a user-friendly platform for testing, debugging, and maintaining applications for MEMSIC IRIS motes running Mote Runner. This enables advanced simulation prior to deploying motes in the field, thus eliminating most programming errors before deployment
* The Mote Runner execution engine has been designed to be very efficient in terms of power consumption while delivering a high runtime performance; thus the combined Mote Runner/IRIS mote can be ideally used with energy harvesting techniques, to utilize for example, solar power as a source of energy
* Physical access to remotely deployed sensor motes to update them with new functionality is not an option for many mote deployment usage scenarios, such as installations across large agricultural areas, in a multi-story building, or in locations with unique climates such as a rain forests or glaciers. Mote Runner caters to this by including the ability to push or pull changes wirelessly with minimal interruption to the established network

"Mote Runner on MEMSIC IRIS motes is a wireless sensor network in a box," comments Thorsten Kramp, computer scientist, IBM Research. "The combination of MEMSIC's popular IRIS mote with Mote Runner makes developing for and operating a wireless sensor network easy and straightforward."
