Even though the chips ship in their tens of millions each week, the market for short-range, low power RF technologies operating in the globally popular 2.4GHz ISM band – such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee and a slew of proprietary solutions – is far from maturity. In the next few years, many impressive developments will emerge and wireless connectivity will pervade every aspect of our lives.
In particular, ultra low power (ULP) wireless applications – using tiny RF transceivers powered by coin cell batteries, waking up to send rapid “bursts” of data and then returning to nanoamp “sleep” states – are set to increase dramatically. For example, according to analysts ABI Research, the wireless sensor network (WSN) chips market grew by 300 percent in 2010. And the same company forecasts that no less than 467 million healthcare and personal fitness devices using Bluetooth low energy chips will ship in 2016.
ULP wireless connectivity can be added to any portable electronic product or equipment featuring embedded electronics, from tiny medical and fitness sensors, to cell phones, PCs, machine tools, cars and virtually everything in between. Tiny ULP transceivers can bestow the ability to communicate with thousands of other devices directly or as part of a network – dramatically increasing a product’s usefulness.
Yet, for the majority of engineers, RF design remains a black art. But while RF design is not trivial – with some assistance from the chip supplier and a decent development kit – it’s not beyond the design skills of a competent engineer. So, in this article the author will lift the veil from ULP wireless technology, describe the chips, and take a look at how and where they’re used.
