Low-power PSoC 6 microcontrollers aimed at secure devices in IoT applications

RS Components is stocking PSoC 6 microcontrollers from Cypress Semiconductor Corp. The range provides industry-leading low power and an extremely flexible MCU architecture. Ideal for secure and battery-powered IoT devices, the MCU family is aimed at deployment in a broad range of IoT applications, including smart home equipment, home appliances, the industrial IoT and portable medical devices. The family architecture is based around an ultra-low-power 40nm process technology and dual-core Arm Cortex-M4 and Cortex-M0+ processors, which allows engineers to optimise their solutions for performance and power consumption. Also, the MCUs provide easy-to-use software-defined peripherals and the integrated security features needed for use in IoT devices. Key features of the MCU family are memory capacities of up to 1MB Flash and 288KB SRAM, Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 connectivity, and Cypress’ CapSense capacitive-sensing technology for robust and reliable touch- and gesture-based device interfaces. electronica 2018, Hall C5, Stand 147
