Cypress’ PSoC® 6 IoT MCU is on the Way

The Internet of Things (IoT) is connecting everyday physical objects to the internet that have never been connected before. This is becoming more and more of a commercial reality with time. An estimated 30 billion everyday physical objects will be a part of the Internet of Things by 2020.

Designers of next generation IoT systems need devices that enable extended battery life without sacrificing performance. Also essential are innovative and differentiated features that provide value to their end customers. Furthermore, in this new “connected” age, protection of end-products against cyber vulnerabilities and threats has become an imperative requirement for engineers to meet.

Cypress’ new PSoC^® 6 MCU architecture addresses these requirements and more as it is purposefully built for the IoT. It has features such as:

• Dual-core ARM^® Cortex^®-M4 and ARM Cortex-M0+, running at 150-MHz and 100-MHz, ultra-low-power 40 nm architecture
• Industry-leading ultra-low-power design that consumes as little as 22-μA/MHz in active power modes
• Best-in-class flexibility with wired and wireless connectivity options, software defined peripherals and industry-leading CapSense^®
• Integrated, hardware-based Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) with secure data storage

With these capabilities, PSoC 6 drives a new standard for the Internet of Things. Now end consumers of IoT products can benefit from:

Longer Battery Life

The PSoC 6 MCU uses an industry-leading ultra-low power 40 nm process, and offers dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) to help IoT devices run longer between charges.

Performance Flexibility

Utilize both the high-performance Cortex M4 core and the lower power Cortex M0+ core to balance tasks so that designs can be both responsive and power efficient.

Scalable Security

Create independent hardware based Trusted Execution Environments, each with their own hardware root of trust, making PSoC 6 based devices a trusted part of the IoT.

PSoC Possibility

Well-known by engineers around the world for its programmability, flexibility, and ease-of-use, Cypress’ PSoC architecture enables visionary designs.

PSoC 6 is truly an IoT Game Changer.
