MediaTek announces New Chips For Wearables, Smart Homes And Blu-Ray Players

MediaTek has introduced MT2523 SoC for active and fitness smart watches, MT7697 SoC for IoT devices that provides integration with home appliances, home automation, smart gadgets, IoT bridges and cloud connectivity, and MT8581 multimedia SoC for Ultra High Definition (4K) Blu-ray players ahead of CES 2016.

MediaTek MT2523

System-in-Package (SiP) offers GPS, dual-mode Bluetooth Low Energy, and a MIPI-supported high-resolution mobile screen for active and fitness smart watches
SiP’s printed circuit board area is just 41% smaller than competitors’ solutions.
SiP) contains a micro controller unit (MCU), dual-mode Bluetooth, GPS and a power management unit (PMU)
Display component supports MIPI-DSI and serial interfaces for high-resolution mobile screen
Includes 2D capabilities of true color, per pixel alpha channel and anti-aliasing fonts, plus 1-bit index color to save memory and computing power
Offers more than a week of battery life on single charge.

MediaTek MT7697

Powers Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections for smart gadgets and wearables for high levels of integration with impressively low power consumption for applications such as home appliances, home automation, smart gadgets, IoT bridges and cloud connectivity.
Provide increased flexibility in both BLE and WiFi connectivity, BLE for the short range and WiFi for long range and better Internet access.
Dual-band WiFi version of the chipset, MT7697D, offers 2.4GHz and 5GHz support.
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) provides the highest integration among comparable SoCs, combining and optimizing DB WiFi, BLE, CM4 and RAM
Embeds a power amplifier with TX Power up to 10 decibel-milliwatts (dBm).
On iOS devices MT7697’s BLE supports up to 160 bytes of maximum transmission units (ATT_MTU).

a
