New Low Power MCU Portfolio with Wi-Fi 6/6E and Bluetooth Integration

The latest offering from Infineon Technologies, the flexible MCU platform, is set to revolutionize the IoT industry by accelerating customers’ time-to-market with a range of cutting-edge features. This platform comes equipped with ModusToolbox ™ software, RTOS and Linux host drivers, a fully validated Bluetooth stack, multiple sample code examples, Matter software enablement, and support for Infineon’s worldwide partner network.

According to Sivaram Trikutam, Vice President of Wi-Fi Products at Infineon Technologies, “As an IoT leader with more than a billion Wi-Fi devices deployed worldwide, Infineon is committed to driving decarbonization and digitalization with low-power solutions that connect products to the cloud.” The combination of user-friendly software, top-notch wireless performance, and low power consumption makes the AIROC CYW5591x Connected MCU family ideal for building best-in-class IoT products.

This versatile device family can serve as the main processor in an IoT device or as a subsystem in more complex designs to offload connectivity for IoT applications. The product family is available in three versions: CYW55913 for tri-band (2.4/5/6 GHz), CYW55912 for dual-band (2.4/5 GHz), and CYW55911 for single-band (2.4 GHz) support.

The CYW5591x boasts an Arm ® Cortex ® M33 192 MHz MCU with TrustZone ® CC312 featuring 768 KB SRAM, quad-SPI with XIP for on-the-fly encryption/decryption, and up to +24 dBm transmit power for Wi-Fi, ensuring best-in-class range. Additionally, it supports 6 GHz (Wi-Fi 6E) greenfield spectrum for reduced congestion and latency.

With support for Matter-over-Wi-Fi and hardware acceleration for various encryption algorithms, the CYW5591x devices offer enhanced security features. The integrated Bluetooth Low Energy 5.4 supports advanced features like LE Long Range, Advertising Extensions, and optimized power consumption with up to +19 dBm transmit power.
