Connectivity
Notice:
These products are now part of ST-NXP Wireless, the joint venture formed by STMicroelectronics and NXP. New products from ST-NXP Wireless can be found at www.stnwireless.com.
The same technologies we use in our Nexperia cellular system solutions for Bluetooth, USB, USB OTG, NFC, GPS, and other wired and wireless connectivity, are also available as individual ICs, and will soon be available in combo chips.
Connectivity is a cornerstone of our business. We focus on bringing new, more efficient technologies to market and have a history of industry firsts. We were first to market with a commercial-grade Bluetooth baseband, played a defining role in bringing USB OTG to market, co-created the wireless technology NFC, and are currently at the forefront of Certified Wireless USB.
We emphasize the importance of interoperability and standardization, and take an active role in the most important industry initiatives for improved connectivity.
| Bluetooth | Our Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR solutions deliver the industry's lowest power consumption, in the industry's smallest footprint. We were first to market with a commercial-grade Bluetooth baseband and have shipped more than 10 million Bluetooth units. |
| GPS | In GPS applications, we give manufacturers performance that exceeds the leading competitive solutions. We deliver the highest sensitivity, the lowest power, and the fastest time-to-first-fix (TTFF). When other solutions dropout – deep indoors, in urban canyons, transitioning from strong to weak satellite signals or from in-vehicle to pedestrian operation - our solutions keep on tracking, for a better experience that works wherever consumers go. |
| NFC | Our NFC solutions offer the ultimate in convenience, acting as a secure gateway to information, entertainment, and services. We co-developed the technology, building on our industry-leading technologies for contactless smart cards. |
| USB and USB OTG | Our Certified USB products include small-footprint solutions optimized for cellular handsets and personal media players. We are one of the world’s top suppliers of USB and USB OTG, and have one of the widest portfolios in the industry. |
| Wireless USB | Our native device controller, based on certified Wireless USB technology, is designed for use in portable applications. It enables an optimal software architecture and has been demonstrated as part of a complete end-to-end solution. |
