NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) today announced that Nordic Semiconductor has selected NXP?s low-power LPC1114 microcontroller in its latest Bluetooth low energy reference designs. Based on the energy-efficient ARM Cortex?-M0 processor, the NXP LPC1114 is featured alongside Nordic?s nRF8001 Bluetooth low energy connectivity IC in the nRFready Blue? Desktop reference design for wireless mouse and keyboard. Nordic?s reference design delivers over a year of battery lifetime for the wireless mouse, and up to 10 years for the keyboard, from a single pair of AA batteries.
In addition, Nordic has introduced the LPC1114 Cortex-M0 microcontroller in its nRFready Blue Smart Remote reference design for remote control of connected TVs and set-top-boxes. Bluetooth low energy technology enables a new ecosystem of battery-powered devices to interact with Bluetooth Smart Ready hosts, such as mobile phones, tablets, PCs, TVs and STBs, without the penalty of a large reduction in battery life. The ecosystem is expected to expand significantly within the next two years: ABI Research predicts that 2 billion Bluetooth-enabled devices will ship in 2012 and 3 billion in 2014.
?After an extensive comparison of popular low-cost microcontrollers, we concluded that NXP?s Cortex-M0 microcontroller was simply the best choice ? delivering the high-performance system capabilities necessary to implement Bluetooth low energy, while meeting our stringent low-power requirements,? said Thomas Embla Bonnerud, director of product management, Nordic Semiconductor.
In the nRFready Blue Desktop reference design, the LPC1114 microcontroller senses user inputs such as keystrokes, and controls and communicates with Nordic?s nRF8001 Bluetooth low energy connectivity radio, which transmits data wirelessly to a Bluetooth Smart Ready smartphone or PC. In the Smart Remote reference design, LPC1114 performs multi-tasking by detecting multi-touch inputs, sensing QWERTY keyboard strokes, calculating the 6-axis gyro inputs, and controlling the nRF8001 Bluetooth connectivity IC. Compared to typical Bluetooth solutions, the nRFready Blue reference designs significantly reduce system power consumption at both the host and the devices.
?Nordic?s nRFready Blue reference designs are making it easy to bring Bluetooth low energy computer peripherals and other devices to market quickly, and we?re pleased that our Cortex-M0 LPC1114 microcontroller is part of those designs,? said Jan Jaap Bezemer, director of marketing, microcontroller business line, NXP Semiconductors. ?For emerging smart system implementations, NXP Cortex-M0 brings together an optimal combination of very low power and very low cost, along with 32-bit resources that enrich the end-user experience.?

“I don’t wanna be famous I don’t wanna be who you are I don’t wanna be a trademark I don’t wanna be a wannabe superstar I wanna be infamous, Incapable, unfaceable, untraceable…” That’s Mira M. And this is the story of her unforgettable life — as a kid alone in a junkyard tire swing, to her escape from Croatia at age nine in a Marshall amp road case in the rear of her uncle Lou’s van. A musician, he hands her the key to her future: a guitar. When she’s fourteen, Mira meets Melody, Rosa, and Jackson, three teens who stow away from Ghana in a ship-ping container and end up — to their surprise — in Hamburg, Germany. What stories they have! And what a story the four of them, plus Kralle (a little older and wiser) and Zucka (the record producer’s son), share on the way to the fame that all of them covet — except Mira, even after the MTV Awards show in Barcelona. Her song lyrics tell her truth. But are they her lyrics? Her music? She swears so. But who listens, now that she’s eighteen — and dead?
