Telink’s Flexible Smart Lighting Product Offering

Telink’s multi-standard ultra-low-power IC features flexible configuration variations that are tailored to meet the diverse requirements of clients’ lighting products in a cost-effective way. These variations offer different options for supported protocols, memory size, number of PWM channels, and operating temperature range.

Clients who are looking for simple BLE Mesh applications may choose our 8253 or 8273 chip, which feature the most cost-effectivesolution. Those who want their products to be compatible with multiple protocols may choose the more advanced 8258 or 8278 chip.

On Telink’s latest B91 platform, aka the TLSR9 Series, the SIG Mesh SDK incorporates keyword spotting and command recognition algorithm. It features quick response to voice commands and low latency, especially suitable for devices with simple control.

Performance

Telink’s solutions deliver great RF performance, ultra-low power consumption, and exceptional protocol flexibility, which are fundamental to lighting manufacturers to build products that win out in a competitive market.

The Telink DifferenceTelink is built upon four central pillars that underpin our commitment to helping clients achieve their goals: performance, BOM cost, complete solutions, and innovation.

Complete Solutions

From evaluation kits and reference designs to local field application engineer support, Telink’s clients get more than high-performing, low-cost chips. They get a robust support infrastructure that helps them address development issues quickly, accelerating their time-to-market.

Innovation

Telink continue to invest in supporting the latest versions of the most popular technologies so our clients are able to produce the high-functioning lighting products consumers demand. This includes expanding our capabilities to deep integration into major ecosystems and to location based services.

BOM Cost

Telink’s highly-integrated SoCsreduce the number of external components manufacturers need to include in their lighting products, significantly lowering total system costs. Further, because we own our protocol stack, we don’t pay any licensing fees — savings we pass on to our clients.

Telink Advantage


Multiple Levels of BOM Savings

Pillar #2: BOM Cost

Telink chips minimize BOM costs for lighting solutions:

Due to their smaller die size (1), manufacturing costs for Telink products are much lower than costs for competitors’ products at the same process node

Unique architecture and system-level design optimization

Fewer external BOM components (2) than the industry average due to high level of on-chip integration and system-level design methodology

Integrated RF matching components

On-chip 32 kHz RC oscillator

Embedded DCDC and LDO

Integrated PA loading inductor

Inductorless operation in LDO only mode

Multi-Mode Support


Since day one, Telink has led the charge on IoT connectivity technology innovation. Depending on a client’s product needs, Telink’s multi-mode hardware can be configured with different types of firmware during the software preprogramming and manufacturing process, including SIG Mesh, Telink Mesh, Zigbee, HomeKit, or Thread. Telink’s chips can also be used to produce the following three types of multi-mode devices:

Dual-boot mode:

Both types of firmware are burned at different sections for Flash during manufacturing (e.g. SIG Mesh and Zigbee)

Boot settings determine which image to boot from, and the device can switch to the other protocol after reboot

External triggers such as special key combinations can be used to initiate reboot

Dual-pair mode:

Devices are shipped from the factory with support for both protocols in unified firmware (e.g. BLE and Zigbee)

When powered up, the device automatically searches for either protocol to pair with

Once paired, the device works in the paired mode until it is factory reset

Concurrent mode:

Devices are shipped with unified firmware

When powered up, devices can pair with a BLE device and can also join another network (e.g. Zigbee)

Devices can maintain BLE connection and perform other tasks at the same time*

Notes:*see Appendix III for supported concurrent modes


Telink supports innovative application cases like positioning via Mesh

Positioning beacon interleaved with Mesh traffic

AoA/AoD packets interleaving with Mesh traffic

The next generation of Telink ICs will also feature High Accuracy Distance Measurement

Incorporate the Local Voice Control Algorithm to Deliver Better User Experience


Voice control the smart lighting/home system via cloud is the most popular way at present. However, there are a few shortcomings such as relatively long delay and complicated voice commands.

As a supplementary solution, local voice control can simplify the way of voice control and improve user experience.

On Telink’s latest B91 platform, aka the TLSR9 Series, the SIG Mesh SDK incorporates keyword spotting andcommand recognition algorithm.

One Keyword + 8 ~ 20 command words: standard reference provided, customized keyword and command word can be trained with NRE cost

No extra hardware needed

Works with single mic, extensible to 2 mics with noise reduction

Features quick response to voice commands and low latency, especially suitable for devices with simple control


Add Location Services to the Smart Lighting System


For years, location services solutions have played an important role in driving efficiencies for a range of global facilities, tracking key assets and staff for manufacturers, hospitals, and warehouses.

Location services also supported new proximity marketing tools for retailers and are being used to enhance security in commercial and industrial environments.

The ready smart lighting system is very suitable for integrating location services

Location Services offers following exciting features:

Asset Management

Personnel Tracking

Access Control

Shopping Mall Interior Navigation

Proximity Marketing

Car Finding
