Mouser Electronics is now offering the EZ-BLE and EZ-BT WICED modules from Cypress Semiconductor. The fully integrated Bluetooth Smart Ready EZ-BT and Bluetooth low energy EZ-BLE Wireless Internet Connectivity for Embedded Devices (WICED) modules simplify the design and development of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices, home automation, medical devices, and industrial applications.
The Cypress EZ-BLE and EZ-BT WICED modules, available from Mouser Electronics, feature an onboard crystal oscillator, flash memory, passive components, and a Cypress CYW207xx system-on-chip (SoC) with a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M3 processor. The low-power devices support pulse-width modulation (PWM) and analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) as well as UART, SPI, and I2C serial communication. The EZ-BT module also includes a PCM/I2S audio interface and 512 Kbytes of serial flash memory. The EZ-BLE module is available in a version with 128 Kbytes of flash and 60 Kbytes SRAM memory for over-the-air updates and self-sufficient operation.
The EZ-BT WICED module includes a royalty-free Bluetooth stack compatible with Bluetooth 5.0, while the EZ-BLE WICED modules ship with a royalty-free BLE stack compatible with Bluetooth 4.1. The EZ-BLE modules offer pre-programmed EZ-Serial firmware platform for immediate, easy-to-use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity
The EZ-BLE and EZ-BT WICED modules are supported by Cypress’ WICED Studio software development kit (SDK), the only SDK for the IoT that combines Wi-Fi and Bluetooth into a single integrated development environment (IDE). The WICED Studio IDE allows for the rapid configuration, development, and programming of Bluetooth applications.
Mouser also stocks the EZ-BLE WICED evaluation board and EZ-BT WICED evaluation board to aid engineers in developing with the modules. The evaluation boards can function either as stand-alone evaluation kits or with Arduino-compatible shields for additional expansion possibilities.
