InPlay is a fabless semiconductor company located in Irvine, California. Their focus is in the IIOT (Industrial Internet of Things) space, and they aim to solve the biggest pain points in today’s wireless applications.
One of InPlay’s breakthrough products is their IN100 NanoBeacon. This chipset integrates the latest 5.3 Bluetooth technology and supports both traditional LE and extended advertising. The IN100 is certified by the Bluetooth SIG as compliant with Bluetooth Core Specification 5.3, and is billed as the world’s smallest Bluetooth beacon SoC requiring no software programming [1]. It also features a firmware-less design that eliminates the hassle of understanding complex Bluetooth communication protocols and is also programming-free. The BLE advertising protocol is implemented directly in hardware, so the device broadcasts after a simple configuration step — no compiler, RTOS, or application code required [1].
After performing our own crystal oscillation circuit analysis with the IN100 NanoBeacon, Suntsu determined that the frequency control component best suited to optimize the IC performance in the InPlay design as our SCX810-26.000M.
