to verify audio characteristics.
When establishing the Bluetooth
connection, the flexible R&S
CMW500 can operate as master
or slave. It supports the hands-free
audio gateway mode, authentication
when pairing Bluetooth devices with
headsets, etc. and the volume control
function on the microphones and
headsets. it supports various voice
codecs, including CVSD and mSBC.
R&S CMW platform: the right solution
for all M2M/IoT requirements
For users who only perform
Bluetooth® and WLAN non-cellular
integrations tasks, the R&S CMW270
wireless connectivity tester offers
a cost-effective solution. The R&S
CMW270 was also qualified by the
Bluetooth SIG for RF measurements.
The R&S CMW290 functional tester
supports all common cellular and
non-cellular mobile communications
standards.
Wireless
module
integrators
require
extensive
functional tests for hardware and
applications. The R&S CMW290
offers all essential measurements and
an excellent price/performance ratio.
Rohde & Schwarz will demonstrate
its R&S CMW platform for Bluetooth
tests at booth C40, hall 6 at Mobile
World Congress in Barcelona. The
new R&S CMW-KS602 option for
Bluetooth audio tests will be available
fromRohde & Schwarz in March 2016.
Cypress Introduces the
Industry’s Fastest 64Mb Quad
Serial Peripheral Interface
NOR Flash Memory with
Extended Temperature Range
Support
New FS-S Family Device Provides
High Read Bandwidth to Enable
Faster Access Times in High-
Performance Embedded Systems
Cypress Semiconductor Corp.
(Nasdaq: CY), a global leader
in embedded systems solutions,
today introduced a 1.8V, 64Mb
NOR Flash memory with a Quad
Serial Peripheral Interface (Quad
SPI). The newest device in the
Cypress FS-S NOR Flash family
combines the Quad SPI interface
with the industry’s highest read
bandwidth and fastest program
time while enabling a small PCB
layout. The device is ideal for high-
performance applications, such as
video game consoles, Advanced
Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS),
automotive instrument clusters and
infotainment systems, networking
equipment and set-top boxes.
High-performance system designs
require the highest read bandwidth
for program execution, a small, low-
pin-count package, and the fastest
program and sector erase times.
The 64Mb FS-S Quad SPI NOR
Flash memory leverages an 80-MHz
Double Data Rate (DDR) mode to
deliver read bandwidth of 80 MBps
and enables the fastest program
execution for high-performance
systems. Available in industry-
standard compact 8-lead SOIC and
24-ball BGA packages, the device
saves board space and simplifies
layout. The device provides a
0.475-ms program time per 512
bytes, increasing manufacturing
throughput and enabling new data
to be written quickly. For battery-
powered applications, the memory
extends battery life by providing low
standby current and a deep-power-
down mode. The FS-S NOR Flash
family offers AEC-Q100 automotive
qualification and supports an
extended temperature range of
-40˚C to +125˚C.
“Our new 1.8V, 64Mb FS-S
NOR Flash device has a low
pin count that is ideal for space-
constrained wireless applications,
and it is optimized for other
high-performance
applications,
expanding the reach of the family,”
said Hiro Ino, Senior Director of
the NOR Flash Product Family at
Cypress. “This product marks a
continuation of Cypress’s strategy
to expand our high-performance
memory portfolio and our NOR
Flash market leadership.”
Availability
Cypress’s 64Mb FS-S Quad SPI
NOR Flash memory is now sampling
in 8-lead SOIC and 24-ball BGA
packages. Production will start in
the second quarter of 2016.
