ON Semiconductor RSL10 system-on-chip

ON Semiconductor’s RSL10 multiprotocol system-on-chip (SoC) is designed to bring ultralow-power connectivity to Internet of Things (IoT) devices and high-performance wearables. The highly integrated SoC includes a DMA controller, oscillators and ultra-efficient power management units.

The SoC features a 48 MHz Arm Cortex-M3 processor bolstered by a 32-bit dual-Harvard DSP core that supports the audio codecs necessary for wireless audio communication. Including both flash and RAM, the versatile Bluetooth 5-certified SoC supports Bluetooth low energy technology as well as 2.4 GHz proprietary or custom protocol stacks.

The unit is designed for use in applications with 1.2 and 1.5 V batteries and supports a supply voltage range of 1.1 to 3.6 V without the need for an external DC/DC converter. It supports a wide range of medical applications including fitness trackers, hearing aids, heart rate monitors, glucose monitors and pulse oximeters.

The SoC is supported by the RSL10 Evaluation Board, which provides access to all input and output connections through standard 0.1″ headers. Additionally, the evaluation board offers an onboard communication interface circuit and a J-Link solution to enable users to debug the board through a USB/PC connection.
