802.11ac-Friendly™ Solution Delivers Robust
Connectivity with Advanced Coexistence; Extends Battery Life with
an Innovative 28nm Architecture
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: CY), the leader in wireless
connectivity solutions for the IoT, today announced a new combo
solution that delivers ultra-low power Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth®
connectivity to extend battery life for wearables, smart home
products and portable audio applications. The new Cypress CYW43012
solution prolongs battery life by leveraging 28nm process
technology to cut power consumption up to 70 percent in receive
mode and up to 80 percent in sleep mode when compared to current
solutions. The solution is IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n-compliant and
802.11ac-Friendly™, meaning it is interoperable with 802.11ac
access points using standard modes. This enables it to offer higher
throughput and better energy efficiency, along with the enhanced
security and coverage of 802.11ac Wi-Fi networks.

The CYW43012 combo chip’s advanced coexistence engine enables
optimal combined performance for dual-band 2.4- and 5-GHz Wi-Fi and
dual-mode Bluetooth/Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.0 applications
simultaneously. The CYW43012 solution is supported in Cypress’
all-inclusive, turnkey, WICED® Studio IoT development platform,
which streamlines the integration of wireless technologies for
developers. More information on Cypress’ WICED combo solutions is
available at http://www.cypress.com/802.11ac.
“Battery life is a key differentiator for a wide range of
connected devices, including wearables, smart home security cameras
and wireless speakers; everyone wants a great connected experience
for longer without having to recharge,” said Brian Bedrosian, vice
president of marketing for the IoT Business Unit at Cypress.
“Cypress’ new combo solution is a game-changer, setting a new
standard for power consumption that makes long battery life with
Wi-Fi a reality. The 802.11ac-Friendly capability combined with
Cypress’ unmatched multi-radio coexistence engine provide cleaner
air with high-fidelity connections and enhanced range, which is
critical for the consumer experience in today’s world with a
rapidly increasing number of wireless devices competing for
airtime.”
About Cypress WICED Studio IoT Development Platform
The Cypress WICED Studio IoT development platform features an
integrated and interoperable wireless software development kit
(SDK). The SDK includes the industry’s most broadly deployed and
rigorously tested Wi-Fi and Bluetooth protocol stacks, as well as
simplified application programming interfaces that free developers
from needing to learn complex wireless technologies. In line with
the IoT trend toward dual-mode connectivity, the SDK supports
Cypress’ Wi-Fi and Bluetooth combination solutions and its
Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy devices. The SDK enables cloud
connectivity in minutes with its robust libraries that uniquely
integrate popular cloud services such as Amazon Web Services, IBM
Bluemix, Alibaba Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, along with services
from private cloud partners. WICED also supports iCloud remote
access for Wi-Fi-based accessories that support Apple® HomeKit™,
which enables hub-independent platforms that connect directly to
Siri voice control and the Apple Home app remotely.
Cypress’ WICED Studio connectivity suite is microcontroller
(MCU)-agnostic and provides ready support for a variety of
third-party MCUs to address the needs of complex IoT applications.
The platform also enables cost efficient solutions for simple IoT
applications by integrating MCU functionality into the connectivity
device. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth protocol stacks can run transparently
on a host MCU or in embedded mode, allowing for flexible platform
architectures with common firmware. More information on Cypress’
WICED platform, ecosystem and community is available at

Availability
The CYW43012 combo solution is currently sampling to lead
customers. Full production is expected in the fourth quarter of
2017.
