Staccato Demos All-CMOS UWB Chip

Staccato Communications, a start-up based in San Diego, demonstrated the first version of its single-chip design for all major components of the RF and baseband specified by the newly completed MBOA PHY specification.



The company said its all-CMOS implementation clears the path for low-cost, highly integrated silicon solutions for wireless USB and other UWB applications by taking advantage of mainstream generic CMOS foundry processes.



Staccato Communications' single-chip PHY products are expected to sample in early 2005. Complete single-chip wireless USB silicon will sample in late 2005. http://www.staccatocommunications.com
