Imagination and GF combine for BLE and Zigbee on 22nm FD-SOI

The combination uses Imagination’s Ensigma connectivity IP on GF’s 22nm FD-SOI process.

Imagination has joined GF’s FDXcelerator Partner Program.

Ensigma on 22FDX provides a complete IP solution comprising analogue RF/AFE as a hard macro complete with a fully synthesizable baseband IP for applications such as wearable computing, health care, and home control.

The IP for BLE and 802.15.4 is currently in development with lead customers, with silicon available in early Q4 2018.
