Serial interface engine provides USB 2.0 for MCUs
Cypress Semiconductor has expanded its USB 2.0 product line with the introduction of the EZ-USB SX2 intelligent serial interface engine (SIE).
The robust solution results in fewer interruptions than headsets using competing wireless technologies, and offers a range over 20m.
The WirelessUSB LP headset board includes a Cypress Wireless enCoRe II flash microcontroller, a low power Winbond codec, and a rechargeable battery with the radio module.
Winbond's W681360 single-channel voice codec is a 13bit linear analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analogue convertor.
The W681360 offers high performance voice quality at the lowest power consumption in the industry, directly impacting talk-time and battery life.
"A primary concern of VoIP headset manufacturers is dropping packets due to interference, making the extremely robust WirelessUSB LP solution a natural fit to deliver an uninterrupted flow of data", said Matt Branda, Senior Strategic Marketing Manager for Wireless Products at Cypress.
"Not only does the interference immunity of our WirelessUSB protocol outperform other 2.4GHz solutions, its robust operation outdoes more expensive Bluetooth and DECT solutions as well".
"When you add in the excellent signal quality of the Winbond Codec, the CY4638 VoIP demonstration kit provides the groundwork for a winning VoIP headset".
"Combining the W681360 codec with Cypress's WirelessUSB LP is a great match", said Frank Dowling, Director of Product Marketing at Winbond.
"The low power consumption, excellent range, robustness and cost effectiveness our technologies bring to the CY4638 kit are a perfect fit for the VoIP headset market".
The WirelessUSB LP VoIP demonstration board is currently available and is priced at US $249.
