Future Electronics Promotes EZ-BLE PSoC Modules and PMICs from Cypress

Pointe Claire, Quebec (realtimepressrelease) March 15, 2016 – Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, has announced immediate shipping availability of EZ-BLE PSoC Modules and PMICs from Cypress.

The EZ-BLE PSoC Module from Cypress is a fully integrated, fully certified, 11 x 11 x 1.8mm, programmable, Bluetooth Smart or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module designed for ease-of-use, and reduces time-to-market. It contains Cypress’s PSoC 4 BLE chip, two crystals, antenna, shield and passive components. The EZ-BLE PSoC Module provides a simple and low cost way to add a microcontroller, CapSense® touch controller and Bluetooth Smart connectivity to any system. Cypress’s EZ-BLE PSoC Module integrates programmable analog and programmable digital blocks to enable sensor-based designs for IoT products.

Cypress’s S6AE101A/102A/103A Power Management ICs (PMICs) for energy harvesting are the industry’s lowest power devices, enabling the use of very small solar cells for battery-free BLE IoT devices such as wireless sensor nodes. The devices require a very small quiescent current of 250nA and startup power of 1.2μW, and integrate system level features such as an LDO, comparator and auxiliary battery support.

Future Electronics Promotes the Energy Harvesting Switches from Cherry

Pointe Claire, Quebec (realtimepressrelease) October 5, 2015 – Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, recently announced immediate availability of energy harvesting RF switches from Cherry.

Cherry offers a compact, highly efficient energy harvesting wireless system consisting of a generator and receiver. The system conducts network compatible wireless data transfer via RF-technology. A “Unique ID” excludes interference between RF-switches, while several frequency bands allow global use within different applications. In addition, flexible “Pairing” allows the operation of several receivers with one switch (and vice versa).

Cherry’s energy harvesting system offers a long mechanical life (up to 1.000.000 operations) and is environmentally friendly, with no batteries that need to be changed or disposed of.

The product is available in the form of a energy harvesting generator or generator with PCB and antenna system, as a rocker switch, snap switch or light switch module. A KNX-compatible switch Fulfilling KNX-RF 2.0 is also available, as well as evaluation kits, which provide a functional demonstration of the technology.
