Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: CY) today announced that BORND, a
leading PC peripheral manufacturer, has selected Cypress’ 2.4-GHz
WirelessUSB-NL™ radio-on-a-chip for its E220 next-generation wireless
mouse. WirelessUSB-NL’s low power consumption enables two AA batteries
to power the E220 mouse for up to three years. The long range of
WirelessUSB-NL also enables the E220 to operate at a distance of up to
30 meters. BORND will also use Cypress’ enCoRe™ II and enCoRe V
low-voltage companion microcontrollers for the USB dongle and mouse
respectively.
WirelessUSB-NL boasts an impressive -87dBm receive sensitivity to enable
longer range operations. The device features very low active and standby
current (less than 1 uA), and has a closed-loop radio architecture that
minimizes signal frequency drift for very robust radio performance. As
with other Cypress WirelessUSB families, the WirelessUSB-NL device
offers superior performance in the presence of common interference from
2.4-GHz sources such as WiFi, Bluetooth, cordless phones and microwaves.
“The E220 is an outstanding mouse, and we’re pleased to help BORND bring
it to market quickly,” said Jayant Somani, Senior Director of worldwide
marketing for Cypress’ Data Communication Division. “Battery life and
long-range operation are important differentiators for wireless mice,
and WirelessUSB-NL offers industry-leading performance in both of these
categories.”
“The Cypress WirelessUSB and enCoRe solutions were important components
in the BORND E220 mouse, and the super-long battery life and long range
connectivity have attracted interest from the market,” said Kevin Zhang,
General Manager of BORND. “Equally important was the support our design
teams received from Cypress to help get to market quickly.”
WirelessUSB-NL is complemented by Cypress’ enCoRe™ II and enCoRe V
low-voltage, highly integrated microcontrollers, offering manufacturers
a single source of supply and support. WirelessUSB-NL also supports
Cypress’ Agile HID™ protocol that allows existing WirelessUSB customers
to get started quickly on their designs without any additional effort.
