2.4-GHz wireless USB chip for use in Human Interface Devices

Cypress Semiconductor Corp has introduced 2.4-GHz WirelessUSB Radio-on-a-Chip for use in wireless keyboards, mice, remote controls and other Human Interface Devices (HIDs). The new devices are offered in 4 x 4 mm QFN packages, in bare die, and in wafer form.

WirelessUSB NL features -87dBm receive sensitivity at 1 Mbps supporting longer-range operation and allows for lower power transmit signals. The device features standby current of less than 1 uA. WirelessUSB NL also has a closed-loop internal architecture to minimize signal frequency drift.

"Cypress's WirelessUSB has built a strong reputation as the premium solution for wireless HID products with its quality and performance," said Jayant Somani, Senior Marketing Director of Cypress's HID Business Unit. "With our bare die and wafer form offerings, WirelessUSB NL extends our portfolio of wireless products to support a variety of customer needs."
