The PSoC 6 WiFi-BT Pioneer Kit enables the development of Wi-Fi applications using a Cypress PSoC 6 microcontroller and includes a PSoC 6 WiFi-BT Pioneer Board, TFT display shield, necessary jumper wires, and a USB cable.
The Pioneer Board offers header footprints for compatibility with Arduino UNO shields and Digilent Pmod modules with operating voltages from 1.8V-3.3V. The board also features an onboard programmer and debugger with mass storage programming and custom applications support, as well as 512Mbits of NOR flash for expandable memory.
The board’s five-segment slider, two buttons, and one proximity sensing header allow engineers to evaluate the latest generation of Cypress’ CapSense capacitive-sensing technology.
Furthermore, the Pioneer Kit’s TFT display shield includes a 2.4-inch module, six-axis motion sensor, ambient light sensor IC, and PDM microphone for voice input.
The Pioneer Board is based on a PSoC 62 microcontroller, “coming soon” to Mouser Electronics. The device delivers ultra-low-power performance with the critical security features required for IoT applications, integrating an Arm Cortex-M4 core and Arm Cortex-M0+ core, 1 MByte of flash, 288 Kbytes of SRAM, and 104 general-purpose inputs and outputs (GPIO).
Additionally, the board features a USB Type-C power delivery system, plus a Murata LBEE5KL1DX module — based on a Cypress CYW4343W Wi-Fi and Bluetooth combo chip — for 2.4-GHz WLAN and Bluetooth functionalities.
According to Cypress, its PSoC 6 microcontroller capitalises on its proprietary ultra-low-power 40-nm SONOS process technology, which enables “industry-leading” power consumption with 22µA/MHz and 15µA/MHz of active power on the Arm Cortex-M4 and Cortex-M0+ cores, respectively. The powerful microcontroller also features software-defined analog and digital peripherals, multiple connectivity options and programmable analog-front-end functions.
