Make your UWB implementation future proof with Wipro-NewLogic's
WiMedia based MAC and Wireless USB Dual-Role-Device MAC.

Wipro-NewLogic's DRD MAC IP Core can be implemented as a Device only Core, as a (limited) Host only Core or as a Dual Role Device Core where it can function as a Device as well as a Limited Host simultaneously (Cellphones, Printers etc.). The DRD MAC Core is based on Wipro's silicon proven WiMedia(tm) MAC IP.

The WUSB DRD MAC functionalities are implemented in hardware and software. Time critical functionalities are implemented in hardware while the control functionalities are implemented in software. This provides the flexibility to customize the solution to specific applications without a hardware revision. As WUSB DRD IP is developed as an extension to Wipro's WiMedia MAC IP, it can support full WiMedia MAC functionality.
