Swatch Group introduced a new Bluetooth chip with exceptional features unrivaled by any existing product. The new integrated circuit, designed by EM Microelectronic, Swatch Group R & D and the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM), has already set the following records:
 
• It is – first and foremost – the smallest Bluetooth chip on the market. The ultra-miniaturization of electronic components is crucial for the densification of functions in portable electronic devices and for the Internet of Things.
• It has the lowest energy consumption – compared to its competitors – for different scenarios of use, thus increasing the autonomy of connected objects, an essential factor in this field.
• Its high-speed start-up capability is unparalleled, which makes it possible to improve the reactivity and the lifetime of, for example, electronic beacons.
 
It has already been officially qualified to meet the latest Bluetooth standard, version 5.0. The chip consists of more than 5 million transistors on a surface of about 5 mm2. Designed for maximum flexibility, it can work alone or in conjunction with various sensors.
