Budget SoC cuts the cords on peripherals
Cypress Semiconductor is sampling WirelessUSB LS, claimed to be the industry's lowest-cost 2.4GHz radio SoC.
Darfon employed Cypress's WirelessUSB LS and Encore USB devices for its previous generation of wireless mice for Elecom and BenQ.
Darfon's innovative and award-winning wireless mice are recognised for their compact designs that allow users to store the receiver inside a smart storage compartment of the mouse while not in use.
Darfon's newest wireless mice leverage WirelessUSB LP's low-power consumption for longer battery life and its robust interference immunity for excellent performance.
"The WirelessUSB LP device helped us deliver new mice with robust 2.4GHz connectivity and low power consumption for extended battery life", said Josh Tsai, Product Marketing Director at Darfon.
"In addition, Cypress's whole product one-stop shop provided a complete reference design, development tools, and outstanding applications and technical support, allowing us to reduce the design cycle for these innovative, convenient mice, which are ideal for on-the-go end users".
"We are pleased that Darfon has again selected Cypress's WirelessUSB and Encore technologies to deliver end-to-end connectivity for their sleek, high-performance wireless mice", said Matt Branda, Senior Product Marketing Manager of Cypress's Human Interface Device Business Unit.
"This design win is evidence that WirelessUSB LP offers the right combination of best-in-class interference immunity and low-power for next-generation wireless peripherals".
