Reference design for wireless optical comms
A new technology from Texas Instruments dramatically cuts the cost and complexity of bringing the high-speed datarates of optical networking to end users.
Meeting demand for affordable, high-quality hands-free accessories worldwide, the importance of hands-free technology for improving safety while driving is reflected in legislation restricting the use of handsets in 43 US states, 90% of the European market and many other countries.
Currently, consumers who want an aftermarket hands-free kit must choose between poor quality, self-installed units or professionally installed, high-quality, expensive units.
By leveraging the programmability and flexibility inherent in DSP technology, developers can use the combined HFK development platform and Bluetooth daughtercard to create lower cost products with superior audio quality, Bluetooth wireless connectivity and differentiated hands-free designs with customised features.
