(NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :CY) today introduced a reference design kit (RDK RDK Reference Design Kit RDK Red Dragon Karate (compilation of different major styles, mostly based on Shotokan) RDK Reload Delay Kit RDK Report Developer Kit RDK Rapid Deployment Kit RDK Re-Distribution Kit RDK Render Developer Kit ) that simplifies design of wireless mice, keyboards and dongles. The PRoC[TM] LP RDK provides easily replicated designs using Cypress's low-power, Programmable Radio System-on-a-Chip in mouse, keyboard and bridge systems. The single-chip PRoC LP, which is now in full production, integrates the robust WirelessUSB[TM] LP 2.4-GHz transceiver with the award-winning enCoRe[TM] II 8-bit reprogrammable Flash microcontroller (MCU). The CY4672 RDK, which features Cypress's AgileHID[TM] protocol for best-in-class interference immunity, includes a compact wireless mouse, a feature-rich wireless keyboard, and a small form-factor bridge. To further streamline the development process, it also offers kit documentation, hardware schematics, bill of materials The list of components that make up a system. For example, a bill of materials for a house would include the cement block, lumber, shingles, doors, windows, plumbing, electric, heating and so on. , development tools, and flexible firmware for customization. Manufacturers can easily copy the reference designs exactly, and only need to add enclosures to produce ready-to-ship devices. The designs also take advantage of Cypress's patented KISSBind[TM] buttonless-bind technology - a simple and intuitive method that allows a peripheral to bind to to contract; as, to bind one's self to a wife s>.

"Not only do our customers benefit from PRoC LP's integrated programmable MCU and robust WirelessUSB radio, but the CY4672 RDK also delivers pre-certified references of full-featured wireless keyboards, mice, and dongles to further slash time to market," said Matt Branda, senior product marketing manager of Cypress's Human Interface Device (HID) Business Unit. In addition, the PRoC LP RDK features firmware and hardware support for Microsoft Windows HotStart (Direct Application Launch), a new feature in Vista for launching applications directly from system startup through button presses from input devices. The CY4672 PRoC LP RDK includes all of the following items: * Mouse - Three-button, ergonomic mouse with ADNS ADNS Animal Disease Notification System ADNS Automated Digital Network System ADNS Advanced Digital Network System ADNS Assistant Director of Nursing Services ADNS Automated Data Network System ADNS Asynchronous Dns 3040 low-power optical sensor. * Keyboard - 101 keys with buttons to support multimedia and shortcut keys. * Bridge/Dongle - Simple and small form-factor bridge. * CD-ROM CD-ROM: see compact disc. CD-ROM in full compact disc read-only memory Type of computer storage medium that is read optically (e.g., by a laser). - Provides kit documentation, hardware schematics, bills of materials, development tools, tutorials, and firmware for Wireless Keyboard and Mouse development. About PRoC LP Cypress's PRoC LP offers an unparalleled feature set to enable superior interference immunity, low BOM costs, higher data rate applications, and faster time-to-market for dongles/bridges, mice, presenter tools, and remotes, as well as other simple, multi-point-to-point wireless applications. Featuring a radio transceiver plus digital baseband on a single chip, it operates between 1.8 and 5.25 volts, using advanced power-saving techniques to extend battery life in devices such as wireless mice. This combination of low power consumption, DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) See spread spectrum. interference immunity and low cost make it ideal for wireless HID applications. PRoC LP is available in a compact, 40-pin QFN QFN Quad Flat No-Lead QFN Queen Fan Newsletter (rock band) QFN Quad Flat No Leads package.
