Bluetooth MCUs For Automotive And IoT

New collection of Bluetooth Low Power microcontrollers and modules is now accessible, providing options for various functions akin to automotive programs, industrial IoT, and client electronics. 

Infineon Applied sciences AG has expanded its Bluetooth portfolio with eight new merchandise within the AIROC CYW20829 Bluetooth Low Power 5.4 microcontroller (MCU) household. These new choices embody Methods-on-Chip (SoCs) and modules designed for industrial, client, and automotive functions. The CYW20829 household affords excessive integration, enabling designers to cut back each bill-of-material (BOM) prices and system footprints throughout varied functions, akin to PC equipment, low-energy audio, wearables, photo voltaic microinverters, asset trackers, well being and way of life merchandise, and residential automation. 

The brand new merchandise at the moment in manufacturing are:

• CYW20829B0000: 56QFN SoC, 6×6 mm, ideally suited for PC equipment, remotes, ESL, and low-end BLE MCUs.
• CYW20829B0010: 56QFN SoC, 6×6 mm, designed for gaming equipment and LE Audio merchandise.
• CYW20829B0-P4EPI100 & CYW20829B0-P4TAI100: Modules, 14.5×19 mm, appropriate for long-range asset monitoring, energy instruments, and generic Bluetooth LE functions.
• CYW20829B0021: 40QFN SoC, 6×6 mm, optimised for industrial and long-range use.
• CYW89829B0022: 40QFN SoC, 6×6 mm, tailor-made for wi-fi BMS and automobile entry.
• CYW89829B0232: 77BGA SoC, 7×8 mm, appropriate for wi-fi BMS and automobile entry.

The corporate helps product designers with a strong improvement infrastructure and superior security measures, together with safe boot, safe execution environments, and cryptography acceleration to guard delicate knowledge. The AIROC CYW89829 Bluetooth Low-Power MCU, a part of this product household, is tailor-made for automotive functions like automobile entry and wi-fi battery administration programs (wBMS). This MCU options robust RF efficiency, prolonged vary, and the newest Bluetooth 5.4 functionalities, akin to Periodic Promoting with Responses (PAwR). The twin ARM Cortex core design consists of separate subsystems for software and Bluetooth Low Power capabilities, supporting Bluetooth 5.4, low-power operation, 10 dBm output energy, built-in flash, CAN FD, crypto accelerators, and excessive security measures, together with Root of Belief (RoT). It is usually PSA degree 1 prepared.

Shantanu Bhalerao, Vice President of the Bluetooth Product Line at Infineon Applied sciences, emphasised that the corporate’s Bluetooth options are designed to ship robust connectivity and the newest options throughout automotive, industrial, and client markets. Kevin Wang, CEO of ITON, highlighted the CYW20829 as a market chief in Bluetooth, with robust RF efficiency and help for PAwR and LE Audio. Cai Yi, CEO of Pairlink, praised its efficiency and vary for industrial lighting and industrial IoT functions. Tapan Pattnayak, Chief Scientist at Addverb, famous its suitability for safe monitoring and management programs in industrial warehouses. 

The brand new merchandise can be found in varied configurations, every tailor-made for particular functions. Present merchandise in manufacturing embody a number of SoC packages and modules, with extra samples anticipated in 2025.
