Type-approved
USB dongle simplifies Bluetooth
implementation
Adding Bluetooth connectivity to a
system has become as hard as
adding a USB port, following the
introduction by Flint of a new
miniature USB-Bluetooth adaptor.
The Mitsumi adaptor from Flint
needs no further involvement from
the system developer: no hardware
design, no software stack, not
even type approval. The only
requirements are a standard USB
port, and the need to ensure that
the tiny antenna at the end of the
dongle protrudes from the case.
The Mitsumi USB-Bluetooth Adapter
provides an easy to implement
wireless connection to other parts
of the system, or to the growing
range of Bluetooth-enabled mobile
phones, printers, modems and home
or office networks. USB is used as
the interface between Bluetooth
and the system, providing a 5V
power supply and high-speed 1MB/s
connection, as well as
hot-plug-and-play ability.
The USB dongle features a highly
integrated chip, with all RF and
baseband circuitry, Bluetooth
Lower Protocol and USB core all
built into a single CMOS device.
Its onboard antenna takes micro
miniaturisation a stage further:
the entire adapter is just 20mm
wide, less than 8mm thick and is
60mm in length including the
A-type male USB connector.
A wide range of functionality -
such as home networking and
Internet access - benefits from
broad PC profile support:
including generic access, service
discovery, serial port, LAN
access, dial-up networking, fax,
generic object exchange and object
push application profiles.
