Connectivity is crucial across just about every prominent industry from industrial to automotive, but especially in IoT. Not only that, but your connectivity solutions also have to be accommodating to the small form factors and low-power requirements frequently characteristic of connected IoT devices. Luckily, Infineon has a solution that addresses these requirements while still keeping performance levels high.
The Cypress PSoC® 62S2 Wi-Fi BT Pioneer Kit from Infineon, I’m sure you can guess, is designed for connectivity. The onboard PSoC 62 MCU is based on a 32-bit dual CPU subsystem that consists of a 150-MHz Arm6® Cortex®-M4F CPU with single-cycle multiply, floating point, and memory protection unit (MPU); alongside a 100-MHz Cortex-M0+ CPU with single-cycle multiply and MPU. With over two thousand kilobytes of integrated flash memory and over a thousand kilobytes of SRAM, the PSoC 62’s low 1.7V to 3.6V power requirement makes it ideal for deployment in small, connected IoT devices.
Perhaps the star of the show, though, is the Murata 1LV 2.4/5.0-GHz WLAN and Bluetooth functionality module based on the Cypress CYW43012 chipset. The dual-band Murata module supports Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 5.0 BR/EDR/LE, and makes use of a dual mode AP and STA network topology.
The PSoC® 62S2 Pioneer Kit is supported in a couple different development environments. First, the ModusToolboxTM software suite, which includes the ModusToolbox IDE where you can program and debug your device, as well as configure and enable middleware libraries and device resources; as well as Mbed OS.
If you’re ready to get to connecting your IoT devices, you can order your own Pioneer Kit from Digi-Key for $123.75. Of course, if you’d rather save your money, you can also enter this week’s raffle, linked above, for a chance to win this kit for free. Good luck!
