Single-Chip CMOS Ultra Wide Band
for Accelerated Time-to-Market
Staccato Communications designed and architected the Ripcord® Product Family to offer the most complete products for our customers and to support volume markets in PC, CE and mobile. The Ripcord® portfolio of single-chip, all-CMOS solutions enables Certified Wireless USB, Bluetooth 3.0, WiMedia WLP and other UWB protocols atop the WiMedia Common Radio Platform to enable a broad range of new applications.
The Ripcord® 1 product family is implemented using leading 110nm digital CMOS process technology and is offered in a Wafer-Level Chip Scale Package (WCSP) which provides a low-cost, small-form factor solution optimized for easy integration into devices.
Staccato designed the Protocol Independent Kernel™ to allow Staccato’s products to support multiple protocols. In addition to Certified Wireless USB, the Ripcord family is extensible to support simultaneous operation of Bluetooth 3.0, WLP, Ripcord Streaming Services and other protocols over the same silicon globally.
To further simplify your silicon decision and rapidly accelerate your development, Ripcord® products are supported with drivers, application software, development kits, reference designs, and the Team Staccato Partner Program. This partnership with industry leaders provides Staccato’s customers with further support to deploy products and includes suppliers of components, software, system design, and test.
