09-10-2019 | Microchip Technology | Subs & Systems

To aid Bluetooth speaker and headphone manufacturers maintain product differentiation in the competitive wireless audio market, Microchip Technology offers the next generation of its Bluetooth 5.0-qualified dual-mode audio IC and fully certified module.

Measuring only 5.5mm x 5.5mm, the low-power IS2083BM IC is perfect for small form factor designs and provides developers with more space to utilise larger batteries in end products. Both the IS2083BM IC and BM83 module allow customers to reduce BOM with highly integrated features.

The IC and module also integrate Bluetooth Low Energy DLE and LE SC that allows approximately 2.5 times higher data throughput and improved security when transmitting data such as during firmware updates.

The devices come with a suite of development tools, the company's mobile application and example codes for rapid development.
