CX500

CX500 is a UWB SoC chip positioned in the automotive electronics market, supports QFN packaging, supports 1T3R, supports centimeter-level positioning, has high reliability, high integration and excellent radio frequency indicators, and will accelerate the popularization of UWB technology in the field of digital keys for new energy vehicles.

Product Overview 

The CX500 is a fully integrated single chip impulse radio Ultra Wide Band (UWB) SoC chip with features of low-power consumption, high security, high integration, high performance, and is compliant to IEEE802.15.4a HRP, IEEE802.15.4z HRP, FiRa , CCC and ICCE protocols. CX500 supports ranging, AoA (Angle of Arrival), radar and data transmitting which are designed for applications in an automotive environment. With small package of QFN40 (5mm*5mm), CX500 is especially suitable for automotive applications.
