NewLogic Technologies AG (Austria) has successfully completed qualification of its Boost Bluetooth baseband processor core. The qualification tests on the Baseband core and lower level protocol stack were undertaken at 7 Layers AG (Ratingen, Germany), a Bluetooth qualification test facility (BQTF), with final approval granted by Volker Propach, 7 Layers' Bluetooth qualification body.

The Boost core is one of three Bluetooth intellectual property products from NewLogic; the others are a software protocol stack and CMOS radio. According to the company, when the three IP elements are combined with a suitable microcontroller core, they permit the implementation of a single-chip Bluetooth solution using industry-standard CMOS process technologies.

Programmable-logic-core vendor Adaptive Silicon Inc. (Los Gatos, Calif.) has run its first test chips through LSI Logic Corp.'s 0.18-micron process. Adaptive said its design test chips proved 100 percent functional when manufactured on LSI Logic's G-12 process.

LSI Logic is the initial licensee of, and a primary investor in, Adaptive Silicon's technology. The programmable-logic cores are embeddable silicon intellectual property blocks that can be added to standard-cell designs to provide flexibility and reprogrammability for critical chip functions. Adaptive's software makes it possible to integrate the programmable logic into the overall chip design as well as to map synthesized RTL into the architecture and program the device.
