Bluetooth chip includes DSP for audio enhancement
BlueCore5-Multimedia is CSR's most advanced silicon offering best in class audio for applications including high-end stereo and mono headsets.
BlueCore5-Multimedia is ideally suited for advanced high audio quality car applications.
In hands-free mode, it leverages the integrated digital signal processor (DSP) to offer best in class echo cancellation, and during music playback it uses the integrated codec to achieve a signal-to-noise ratio of -95dB.
In addition, with a transmit power of +8dBm and reception sensitivity at -90dBm, it increases transmission range and therefore further enhances the quality of reception.
BlueCore5-Multimedia also supports most Bluetooth profiles needed for a car application, such as the Bluetooth Audiovisual Remote Control Profile (AVRCP), which allows Toyota the option of including remote control functionality in future generations of G-Book.
According to Rafik Jallad, Vice President of CSR's Automotive Business Unit: "BlueCore5-Multimedia has been specifically designed for mono and stereo Bluetooth headset applications and delivers an unprecedented level of voice and music quality".
"By putting more focus on strong DSP architecture, which integrates more technologies with the Bluetooth radio, we can continue to help our customers to improve their time to market".
"CSR is committed to developing solutions for the automotive market and working with top tier companies such as Toyota further highlights the competency and intelligence of our products".
