Product details
CSR8000 consists of CSR8311, CSR8510, CSR8810 and CSR8811.
CSR8311 for automotive applications
The first Wideband Speech IC qualified for the automotive market, CSR8311 is also the first Bluetooth low energy IC ready for automotive use. It uses an automotive QFN 0.5mm pitch package with availability of both USB and UART for modularity. CSR8311 integrates easily with the SiRFprimaAuto multifunction location platform, the first connected infotainment SoC solution built specifically to meet the stringent quality and reliability requirements of tier-one automotive electronics OEMs.
CSR8510 for tablets, notebooks, netbooks and PC applications
Designed for the PC, netbook and notebook markets, CSR8510 is a fully qualified Bluetooth v3.0 system that will also offer support for Bluetooth v4.0. It has a full-speed USB 2.0 interface and allows PC, netbook and notebook designers to develop products with the latest in both high-speed and low energy technology. With CSR Harmony software, CSR8510 marks the next stage in the evolution of PC wireless communications and will allow CSR’s PC customers and partners, such as Ralink and Realtek, to be first to market with new Bluetooth technologies.
CSR8810 and CSR8811 for handsets, PNDs and PMPs
CSR8810 and CSR8811 offer Bluetooth v3.0 and support for Bluetooth v4.0 with IEEE 802.11 coexistence along with Wideband Speech. They are ideal for designers looking to integrate additional functionality alongside improved call quality into mobile phones and other consumer electronics devices, such as Personal Navigation Devices (PNDs) and Portable Media Players (PMPs).
