Infineon Technologies has announced the expansion of its Bluetooth portfolio with the introduction of eight new products within the AIROC CYW20829 Bluetooth Low Energy 5.4 microcontroller (MCU) family.
These products, including Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) and modules, are designed for a range of applications across the industrial, consumer, and automotive sectors. The high level of integration within the CYW20829 product family enables designers to reduce both the bill-of-materials (BOM) cost and device footprint, making it suitable for a variety of applications such as PC accessories, low-energy audio, wearables, solar micro inverters, asset trackers, health and lifestyle devices, home automation, and more.
The latest addition to the product family for automotive use, the AIROC CYW89829 Bluetooth Low-Energy MCU, is particularly well-suited for car access systems and wireless battery management systems (wBMS). It offers robust RF performance, long-range capabilities, and the latest Bluetooth 5.4 features, including Periodic Advertising with Responses (PAwR).
The dual ARM Cortex core design of this chip family incorporates separate application and Bluetooth Low Energy subsystems, providing full support for Bluetooth 5.4, low-power operation, 10 dBm output power without a power amplifier, integrated flash memory, CAN FD, crypto accelerators, high security including Root of Trust (RoT), and readiness for PSA level 1.
“Infineon offers one of the industry’s broadest portfolios of IoT solutions. Our Bluetooth solutions offer robust connectivity and the latest features,” said Shantanu Bhalerao, Vice President of the Bluetooth Product Line, Infineon Technologies. “Our automotive AIROC CYW89829 Bluetooth LE MCU, and versatile AIROC Bluetooth CYW20829 LE MCU deliver ultra-low power and a high degree of integration for a better user experience across various applications in automotive, industrial, and consumer markets.”
Infineon has collaborated with customers to develop designs using the CYW20829 family, receiving favourable feedback.
“The Infineon CYW20829 is the leading Bluetooth part in the market, which has passed the latest Bluetooth 5.4 certification,” said Kevin Wang, CEO of ITON. “CYW20829 has very good RF performance, supports PAwR and LE Audio. These features bring more possibilities in consumer and industrial markets.”
“Earlier this year, the Bluetooth SIG released version 5.4 of the specification with new features: Periodic Advertising with Responses and Encrypted Advertising Data. These features implemented on Infineon’s CYW20829 chips allow Addverb to develop a secure monitoring and controlling system for a fleet of wireless robots in the industrial warehouse, satisfying safety requirements,” said Tapan Pattnayak, Chief Scientist at Addverb, a global leader in robotics.
