New PSoC® 6 Titanium Board
with expansion capability will help developers create connected IoT
products
Global technology-solutions provider Arrow Electronics, Inc.
(NYSE: ARW) and Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: CY), a leader
in wireless connectivity for the internet of things (IoT), today
announced the Titanium board, a technology ecosystem designed to
enable developers to create products using Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth® Low
Energy (BLE), cellular and LPWAN technologies, while taking
advantage of Cypress’ low-power edge computing capabilities.
The new Titanium board is designed to the Linaro 96Boards IoT
edition specification, and features Cypress’ new PSoC® 6
microcontroller (MCU) with dual-core processing and BLE 5.0. With
power provided by the Cypress EZ-PD™ CCG3 USB-C controller,
Titanium also provides developers with advanced sensing
capabilities featuring Bosch Sensortec’s new BME680 integrated
environmental sensor for measurement of gas, humidity, temperature,
and pressure. The platform is Arm® mBed-compatible, and features a
40-pin expansion connector compatible with other 96board
platforms.
Developers can take advantage of the expansion capability of the
Titanium board to evaluate multiple connectivity and technology
options, such as Arrow’s recently announced cellular LTE-M starter
kit and the upcoming Cypress WICED® mezzanine card currently in
development.
The board will be available in November. Arrow and Cypress will
make future announcements on new products within this technology
ecosystem. Customers can register their interest in the PSoC 6
Titanium board and Cypress’ WICED product portfolio by signing up
at connected.arrow.com/psco6-titanium.
The PSoC 6 MCU is a low-power, flexible MCU with built-in
Bluetooth low-energy wireless connectivity and integrated
hardware-based security in a single device. The dual-core Arm®
Cortex®-M4 and Cortex®-M0+ MCU architecture lets designers optimize
for power and performance simultaneously. The PSoC 6 MCU
architecture’s easy-to-use, software-defined peripherals enables
engineers to create innovative products, including wearables,
industrial IoT equipment, smart home appliances, IoT gateways,
portable medical devices and audio processing products.
