Semiconductor Products Sector is supplying high-speed, low-power chipsets to enable an advanced wireless adapter accessory for use with Nintendo's Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Advance SP. This fusion of Nintendo's leadership in the portable gaming market and Motorola's own wireless communication technology together create wireless gaming history; enabling a revolutionary portable gaming experience for users. The 2.4GHz radio frequency (RF) chipset enables up to five players to play each other wirelessly, allowing for flexible, mobile game playing. The wireless adapter with the new Game Boy Advance software "Pokemon FireRed" and "Pokemon LeafGreen" will be launched in Japan first half of 2004 (see Note 1).
The Motorola chipset contains a 32-bit RISC architecture baseband processor and a power-saving RF transceiver in the globally available 2.4GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical Band spectrum. This technology offers robust performance with a high-speed data rate, utilizing a TDMA (time division multiple access) communication protocol to provide game users a fast receive-and-respond capability similar to a wired experience. Motorola's chipset also features radio signal interference prevention and low power consumption ensuring users a long battery life for extended game play. In addition, advanced technology and packaging techniques of the solution allow for integration, reducing the size of the Nintendo wireless adapter accessory for convenient mobility.
