Interactive Wear selects austriamicrosystems’ multimedia chips for wearable electronics applications
Interactive Wear AG, a management-buyout from Infineon Technologies AG and a leading company in the field of wearable electronics, and austriamicrosystems AG, a leading supplier of high performance analog ICs, will expand their close cooperation, which had already started under Infineon.
Within the scope of a first joint project, Interactive Wear was granted access, as a European pilot customer, to the new multimedia chip AS3525m which has recently been introduced to the market by austriamicrosystems. Interactive Wear will employ the powerful single chip music player IC for the MP3, WMA, Ogg Vorbis and AAC audio formats to build a platform for its future wearable embedded systems in the entertainment and body monitoring fields. In return, Interactive Wear will assist austriamicrosystems in the integration of Bluetooth in austriamicrosystems’ MP3 reference design.
