Actions Launches Single-Chip Bluetooth 4.0 Multimedia Solution
ZHUHAI, China, Jan. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Actions Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: ACTS) ("Actions Semiconductor" or "the Company"), one of China's leading fabless semiconductor companies that provides comprehensive portable multimedia and mobile internet system-on-a-chip (SoC) solutions for portable consumer electronics, today announced the launch of its new chipset, the ATS282X, an RF and audio processing integrated single-chip SoC for mid- to high-end Bluetooth stereo speakers, boomboxes and headphones.
Actions' ATS282X chipset is a high performance, single-chip Bluetooth 4.0 dual mode solution that integrates MCU, DSP and RF on a single-chip, is compatible with Bluetooth V2.1, V3.0 and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) systems and supports Android and IOS operating systems simultaneously. As the first single-chip Bluetooth 4.0 dual mode solution launched among China IC design companies featuring superior audio performance, greater stability and a single-chip integrated design, it is a very attractive and competitive offering for the mid- to high-end Bluetooth voice and audio market.
The ATS282X includes a variety of serial controllers supporting I2S, I2C,SPDIF TX, SPI, UART, PWM, internal LED/segment LCD hardware and software driver, internal Aux in and Dual microphones, internal touch key and remote control, and an internal RTC circuit that supports clock, alarm and calendar functions. The ATS282X features an internal echo cancellation and noise suppression algorithm, while Bluetooth BLE support allows for improved energy efficiency and a longer battery life.
"The latest addition to our family of Bluetooth 4.0 chipsets, the ATS282X, combines an integrated solution with a high quality stereo experience and low power consumption at a very attractive BOM cost. We are excited to showcase this new product at the International CES 2015 and believe that it will garner a great deal of attention from mid- to high-end Bluetooth stereo speaker, boombox and headphone manufacturers," said Dr. Zhenyu Zhou, CEO of Actions Semiconductor. "The Bluetooth voice and audio market is experiencing explosive growth, with shipments expected to reach more than 20 million units per month in 2015. We believe leading edge products such as the ATS282X, along with our dominant position in the non-apple portable audio and video market, will allow us to carve a healthy share of the mid- to high-end of this fast growing market."
