Wi-Fi I/O connectivity for embedded systems

22 June 2011 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Cypress Semiconductor and Redpine Signals have jointly developed 802.11a/b/g/n wireless connectivity solutions that make it possible for system engineers to add low-power, single-stream 802.11n Wi-Fi capability to embedded systems with Cypress’s PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 programmable system-on-chip platforms. These solutions are based on Redpine’s Connect-io-n modules that allow users to design new systems and upgrade existing products to provide reliable wireless data communications that meet stringent power and high throughput requirements.

With modular certification for FCC standards and equivalent certifications in other regions, these modules enable easy enhancement of PSoC 3- and PSoC 5-based designs with future-proof Wi-Fi 802.11n functionality. The Connect-io-n modules work seamlessly with Cypress’s PSoC platforms, which are used in a broad range of embedded system applications.

The Connect-io-n 802.11n modules are self-contained and system designers need not have a detailed knowledge of Wi-Fi technology to use them. The Redpine module products offer SPI and UART interfaces and provide wireless connectivity up to 10 Mbps on the SPI interface or up to 4 Mbps on the UART interface.

Redpine and Cypress have also collaborated to provide a Wi-Fi expansion board kit based on the Cypress PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 platforms. This kit (RS-CY8C001-220X) is an expansion board that seamlessly plugs into Cypress CY8CKIT-001 or CY8CKIT-030. The Wi-Fi Expansion Board Kit includes an 802.11n expansion board based on the Redpine Connect-io-n module and all necessary example projects and documentation.
