First Wi-Fi product released from Dialog following the recent closing of the acquisition of Silicon Motion’s Mobile Communications product line
London, United Kingdom – June 3, 2019 –Dialog Semiconductor plc(XETRA:DLG.），高度集成电源管理的提供商，AC / DC电源转换，音频，充电和蓝牙®低能源技术，今天推出了FC9000。This will be Dialog’s first Wi-Fi SoC to be released since the closing of the acquisition of Silicon Motion’s Mobile Communications product line on May 31, 2019. The FC9000 is targeted at battery-powered IoT devices such as smart door locks, video monitoring systems, smart thermostats, and wireless sensors enabling direct connectivity to Wi-Fi networks, while typically supporting a battery power lifetime greater than one year.
Previously, devices running on Zigbee, ZWave or Bluetooth standards needed to be paired with an expensive and cumbersome gateway or smartphone to enable connectivity to the cloud, adding complexity and unnecessary costs for IoT adoption. The introduction of the FC9000 overcomes these issues as we move towards a Wi-Fi ubiquitous world.
“The FC9000, the first product in our new VirtualZero™product line, complements our existing portfolio of leading Bluetooth low energy SoC’s for connected devices and represents our next IoT connectivity innovation to pass on to our customers,” said Sean McGrath, Senior VP & GM of Dialog Semiconductor’s Connectivity and Audio Business Group. “This Wi-Fi device is the first in a series that we plan to launch which solves major pain points for both manufacturers and end-users around IoT network compatibility and power consumption.”
FC9000专有的省电算法设置了一种新的行业电源基准，它可以只需几个微安，增加终端设备的整体电池寿命。Venstar是一家领先的能源管理系统供应商和最大的全球恒温器供应商之一，正在利用FC9000。
“Thanks to Dialog’s new SoC, our customers are enjoying a more efficient, reliable Wi-Fi sensor and over a year of battery life,” said Steve Dushane, CEO, Venstar. “Being first to market with this technology is giving us a significant competitive advantage.”
SOC还具有单独的硬件加速加密引擎，可以增加Wi-Fi加密的速度，例如WPA2-Enterprise和个人。这种支持还扩展到更高层的商业级安全加密，例如TLS，用于启用HTTPS，即网站安全的现代标准。
FC9000是用于Wi-Fi网络的完整卸载系统，其自身运行了终端设备的应用程序代码。它不需要外部网络处理器或微控制器，但如果需要，可以与微控制器一起运行。该设备附带的SDK允许快速设计实现，慷慨提供1.6MB的SRAM板内存。
FC9000 SOC今天批量生产，可作为SOC或集成模块提供。两者都是Wi-Fi认证。该模块是FCC，IC和CE认证，用于全球操作。
