TI introduces new embedded processors and analog chips based on bulk acoustic wave (BAW)

     Texas Instruments announced the introduction of a new embedded processor and analog chip based on bulk acoustic wave (BAW), which is ideal for applications in the design of the next generation wireless Internet of Things and communications infrastructure. The two devices developed using TI BAW technology are the CC2652RB SimpleLink wireless microcontroller (MCU) and the LMK05318 network synchronizer clock. They will help system designers simplify design logic, reduce time to market, and enable stable, simplified, and high-performance data transfer, which can reduce potential overall development and system costs.

     Communication and industrial automation systems with discrete clocks and quartz crystal devices can be not only costly, but also complex and time-consuming to develop, often with performance susceptible to environmental conditions. The new device with TI BAW resonator technology integrates a reference clock resonator to provide the highest frequency at a small size.

     This highly integrated chip can effectively improve performance and improve mechanical stress resistance, such as vibration and shock. Because TI BAW technology enables stable data transmission, the data synchronization of wired and wireless signals is more accurate and enables continuous transmission, which means that data can be processed quickly and seamlessly, significantly increasing the efficiency of the entire system.
