Brite provides USB2.0 OTG PHY which is a complete mixed-signal IP solution designed to implement OTG connectivity for a System-on-Chip (SoC) design. The USB2.0 OTG PHY supports the USB2.0 480Mbps protocol and data rate, and is backward compatible with the USB 1.1 1.5Mbps and 12Mbps protocol and data rates. This solution can be adapted from 130nm to 28nm process. It has been verified by a number of end products, especially suitable for the current popular internet of things applications.
Brite provides a complete Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) analog PHY. The RF is a high performance 2.4GHz ISM band wireless transceiver. It integrates high sensitivity receivers, 5G PLL and high efficiency power amplifier, which can support 1Mbps GFSK modulation and demodulation, and can be combined with the Bluetooth smart baseband and controller to form a complete Bluetooth Smart solution.
YouSiP is an amazing silicon proven platform. In order to shorten time–to-market and reduce the NRE cost & development risk of audio, vision, IoT and AP products, Brite integrates the rich IP resources of themselves and strategic partners to design a complete SoC system and EVB for these applications. And each platform is launched through silicon validated and product-like application proven. Therefore, customers can be easier to build up their owned SoC product referring to these prototypes design.
Audio/Voice DSP reference design platform is developed based on the CEVA-TeakLite-4 DSP core and fabricated at SMIC’s 55nmLP process, running up to 500MHz. The platform provides designers with a powerful means to add “smart and connected” capabilities to these devices, including always-on sensing, local processing and intelligence connectivity. The platform also provides real-time power measurement that allows developers to improve power consumption of system by optimizing their DSP software effectively. It provides a complete development and demo system integrating DSP and multiple peripherals & interfaces IP, and supports diverse wireless technologies including Bluetooth Smart and Smart Ready, Wi-Fi, ZigBee and GNSS. It can be adopted on mobile, wearable devices, wireless speaker, smart home, surveillance, automotives and so on.
It is an image signal processer (ISP) platform integrated with CEVA XM4, and some high speed interface IPs as MIPI, PCIe, LPDDR3 and USB which is developed based on SMIC 28nm, 40nm process. It can support 3D vision including real-time 3D depth map generation and point cloud processing for 3D scanning, computational photography algorithms including refocus, background replacement, zoom, super-resolution, image stabilization, HDR, noise reduction and improved low-light capabilities, visual perception including deep learning, object detection, recognition & tracking, context aware, augmented reality(AR) and others.
