The TC35679IFTG-002 is a Bluetooth Low Energy IC that has been developed for Automotive applications. This ultra-low power Bluetooth IC supports secure connections, LE privacy features and extended packet length. It is available for use in harsh automotive environments and operates at extended temperature ranges. It contains both analog RF and baseband digital parts to provide a complete solution in a single, compact and low-profile, 40-pin 6mm x 6mm x 1mm QFN package.
The wettable flank package simplifies automatic visual inspection needed to deliver the high levels of soldering quality required to withstand vibration experienced in automotive applications. Current applications include remote key systems and reducing cables by providing a reliable wireless connection to sensors. The device will also facilitate remote connection to diagnostic equipment, creating a Bluetooth 'soft' On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) port, thereby saving the cost and weight of the associated cabling and OBD connector.
