Infineon introduces eight new products, including the AIROC™ CYW89829 Bluetooth Low Energy MCU for automotive applications

     Infineon Technologies AG has announced the expansion of its Bluetooth portfolio with the introduction of eight new products in the AIROC™ CYW20829 Bluetooth Low Energy 5.4 microcontroller (MCU) family, including system-on-chip (SoC) and modules optimized for industrial, consumer and automotive use cases.

     With the high integration of the CYW20829 product family, designers are able to reduce Bill of materials (BOM) costs and device footprint for a variety of applications, including personal computer (PC) accessories, low-power audio, wearables, solar microinverters, asset trackers, health and lifestyle, home automation, and more. Designers benefit from Infineon's rich development infrastructure and commitment to strong security, as well as support for a secure startup and execution environment and encryption acceleration to protect sensitive data.

     The AIROC™ CYW89829 Bluetooth Low Energy MCU is the latest automotive component in this semiconductor product family, featuring powerful RF performance, long range and the latest Bluetooth 5.4 features, including responsive Periodic broadcasting (PAwR), ideal for automotive access and wireless battery management system (wBMS) applications. The ARM® Cortex® dual-core design features a separate application and Bluetooth Low Power subsystem that fully supports Bluetooth 5.4, low power, 10 dBm output power (no power amplifier required), integrated flash memory, CAN FD, crypto accelerator, and high security including Root of Trust (RoT). And meet the requirements of PSA level 1 safety certification.

     Shantanu Bhalerao, Vice President, Bluetooth Product Line, Infineon Technologies, said: "Infineon offers one of the broadest portfolios of iot solutions in the industry. Our Bluetooth solutions have strong connectivity and the latest features. AIROC™ CYW89829 Automotive Bluetooth Low Energy MCUS and AIROC™ CYW20829 Multi-function Bluetooth Low Energy MCUS are ultra-low power and highly integrated to provide a better user experience for a variety of applications in the automotive, industrial and consumer markets."

     Kevin Wang, ITON's CEO, said: "The Infineon CYW20829 is the leading Bluetooth component on the market and has been certified with the latest Bluetooth 5.4. The CYW20829 has excellent RF performance and supports PAwR and low power audio. These characteristics open up more possibilities for consumer and industrial markets." "With excellent RF performance, flexible API and excellent long range characteristics, CYW20829 provides an excellent solution for commercial lighting, industrial Internet of Things and other fields," said CAI Yi, CEO of Perrin Technologies.

     Tapan Pattnayak, chief scientist at Addverb, a global leader in the robotics industry, said: "Earlier this year, the Bluetooth Technology Alliance released version 5.4 of the specification, adding two new features: periodic broadcast with response and encrypted broadcast data. With these capabilities implemented on Infineon's CYW20829 chip, Addverb has developed a security monitoring system for wireless robots in industrial warehouses to meet the security needs of its customers."
