Global semiconductor solution provider Reza Electronics (TSE: 6723) announced today the launch of the DA14592 Low Power Bluetooth (LE) System on Chip (SoC), becoming Reza's lowest power and smallest multi-core (Cortex-M33, Cortex-M0+) low-power Bluetooth product. Thanks to the careful balance between on-chip memory (RAM/ROM/flash) and SoC chip size (which determines cost), DA14592 is highly suitable for a wide range of applications including networked healthcare, asset tracking, human-machine interface devices, metering, PoS card readers, and crowdsourced location (CSL) tracking.

DA14592 continues the leading position of Reza's low-power Bluetooth SoC in terms of minimum wireless power consumption, and adopts a new low-power mode to provide industry-leading 2.3mA wireless transmission current and 1.2mA wireless reception current at 0dBm. In addition, it also supports an ultra-low sleep current of only 90nA, prolonging the operation and service life of battery powered terminal products, and supports 34 for products that need to handle a large number of applications μ A/MHz ultra-low operating current.

From the perspective of solution cost, DA14592 typically only requires 6 external components, bringing an ideal Engineering Bill of Materials (eBOM) of its kind. This product only uses system clocks and high-precision on-chip RCX, eliminating the need for sleep mode crystals in most applications. The lower eBOM, combined with the small packaging of DA14592 (WLCSP: 3.32mm x 2.48mm, and FCQFN: 5.1mm x 4.3mm), also creates an attractive small-sized solution for designers. DA14592 also includes a high-precision, sigma delta ADC and up to 32 GPIOs. Unlike other SoCs of its kind, it also provides a QSPI that supports external memory (flash or RAM) expansion to meet applications that require additional memory.

Renesas has integrated all external components required to implement a low-power Bluetooth solution into the DA14592MOD module, achieving the fastest time to market and lower overall project costs for customers. The design focus of this module is to ensure maximum design flexibility: fully route the functionality of DA14592 to the outside of the module and use serrated pins for easy/low-cost local installation during the development process.

Crowdsourcing positioning is a key application showcased by Renesas based on DA14592 and DA14592MOD. It is expected that by 2031, Apple's AirTag sales in the North American market alone will reach over $29 billion. Google recently announced plans to establish a crowdsourced location network called "Find My Device". Renesas is committed to providing ideal reference designs for these two mobile operating systems immediately after the launch of Google's "Find My Device" network, bringing industry-leading power consumption, eBOM, and solution footprint. These reference designs not only accelerate label design, but also enable manufacturers to easily attach DA14592 to their easily lost or stolen products, leveraging billions of smartphones to achieve global positioning of products, making their products unique and enhancing the value of end customers. The use of DA14592MOD will also eliminate the need for global regulatory certification, reduce development costs, and further accelerate product launch speed. Customers interested in adding this feature to their products can send an email to Renesas Electronics: CSLinfo@dm.renesas.com .

Davin Lee, Sr The Vice President and General Manager of the Analog and Connectivity Product Group for Renesas states: "With Reza's iconic low-power characteristics and the ideal eBOM of its kind, DA14592 and DA14592MOD have expanded our outstanding position in the low-power Bluetooth SoC field. In addition, we actively listen to customer feedback, continuously expand our product support scope, bring reference designs for crowdsourcing positioning and other applications, help customers more easily achieve product differentiation, and create high-quality value while maintaining the lowest cost."
