Cypress Debuts PRoC™ LP Reference Design Kit For Wireless Mice, Keyboards And Dongles

Cypress Semiconductor Corp. introduced a reference design kit (RDK) that simplifies design of wireless mice, keyboards and dongles. The PRoC™ LP RDK provides easily replicated designs using Cypress's low-power, Programmable Radio System-on-a-Chip in mouse, keyboard and bridge systems. The single-chip PRoC LP, which is now in full production, integrates the robust WirelessUSB™ LP 2.4-GHz transceiver with the award-winning enCoRe™ II 8-bit reprogrammable Flash microcontroller (MCU).

New Kit Streamlines Design of Sleek, Low-Power HID Devices Using Integrated 2.4-GHz Transceiver and MCU

The CY4672 RDK, which features Cypress's AgileHID™ protocol for best-in-class interference immunity, includes a compact wireless mouse, a feature-rich wireless keyboard, and a small form-factor bridge. To further streamline the development process, it also offers kit documentation, hardware schematics, bill of materials, development tools, and flexible firmware for customization. Manufacturers can easily copy the reference designs exactly, and only need to add enclosures to produce ready-to-ship devices. The designs also take advantage of Cypress's patented KISSBind™ buttonless-bind technology – a simple and intuitive method that allows a peripheral to bind to a nearby bridge without pressing a dedicated bind button on either device.
