Cypress udvider USB og MCU portefølje

Cypress lancerer nye full-speed USB og low-voltage controllere (in english).

Cypress Semiconductor, a market leader in USB, has announced the new enCoRe V Full-Speed USB peripheral microcontrollers  (MCUs) and enCoRe V LV (Low Voltage) wireless MCUs. The new highly-integrated families offer up to 32 KB of Flash memory, three 16-bit timers and up to 36 general purpose I/Os (GPIOs) to accommodate enhanced multimedia features in human interface devices (HIDs).
 
Cypress also introduced the CY3660 enCoRe V / LV Development Kit, which shortens the design time of laser mice, gaming controllers and keyboards, wireless dongles, remote controls, mobile handset accessories and Point-of-Sales devices.
 
The in-system reprogrammable enCoRe V and enCoRe V LV MCUs provide design flexibility with a 10-bit ADC, Flash memory with EEPROM emulation, and small form-factor packages.

The enCoRe V devices also include eight USB endpoints. The enCoRe V LV family operates between 1.7V and 3.6V, with low power consumption for prolonged battery life in wireless applications, especially when paired with Cypress’s low-power WirelessUSB LP 2.4-GHz radio. All enCoRe MCUs include Cypress’s patented crystal-less oscillator and integrated pull-up resistor to reduce component count and BOM cost.

- The enCoRe V and enCoRe V LV families address the growing trend in PC peripheral systems to include enhanced features that require more memory, more I/Os and full-speed USB, says Carl Brasek, director of HID Solutions in the USB Business Unit at Cypress.
- Cypress has shipped over one billion USB controllers, and we’re committed to maintaining our leadership position by introducing innovative products with unparalleled support. 
 
The CY3660 enCoRe V / LV Development Kit includes an In-Circuit Emulator (ICE) that works in conjunction with actual silicon to provide an accurate and efficient development system. License-free PSoC Designer software included with the kit consists of a graphical user interface, assembler, C compiler, and a linker and debugger for a highly integrated code development environment. Pre-configured code to implement standard-compliant Full-Speed USB and other peripherals simplifies design and shortens development time.
 
The CY3660 development kit includes:
 
·         Two DVK Boards (enCoRe V and enCoRe V LV development boards)
·         Two WirelessUSB LP Radio Modules
·         Two 12V Power Supplies and a USB Type A to Mini-B Cable
·         PSoC MiniProg for programming the onboard On-Chip-Debugger chips
·         LCD Module for data display and prototyping
·         PSoC Designer software development tool with complete set of user modules
·         Four firmware examples with complete source code.
