Darfon Selects Cypress's WirelessUSB(TM) LP Radio System-on-Chip and enCoRe(TM) II MCUs for Next-Generation Wireless Mice.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- Elecom and BenQ Brand Mice to Deliver Extended Battery-Life With Low-Power and Robust Performance of Cypress's 2.4-GHz Solution Cypress Semiconductor Cypress Semiconductor is a semiconductor design and manufacturing company. It began operations in 1982 and listed publicly in 1986. Two years later, the company shifted over to the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol, (NYSE: CY). Corp. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :CY) today announced that Darfon Electronics Corporation's new generation of wireless mice will use Cypress's WirelessUSB(TM) LP 2.4-GHz radio system-on-chip and enCoRe(TM) II flash microcontrollers. The mice will be marketed under the Elecom and BenQ brands. Darfon employed Cypress's WirelessUSB LS and enCoRe USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. devices for its previous generation of wireless mice for Elecom and BenQ. Darfon's innovative and award-winning wireless mice are recognized for their compact designs that allow users to store the receiver inside a smart storage compartment of the mouse while not in use. Darfon's newest wireless mice leverage WirelessUSB LP's low-power consumption for longer battery life and its robust interference immunity for excellent performance. "The WirelessUSB LP device helped us deliver new mice with robust 2.4-GHz connectivity and low power consumption for extended battery life," said Josh Tsai, product marketing director at Darfon. "In addition, Cypress's whole product one-stop shop One-Stop Shop A company or a location that offers a multitude of services to a client or a customer. The idea is to provide convenient and efficient service and also to create the opportunity for the company to sell more products to clients and customers. provided a complete reference design, development tools, and outstanding applications and technical support, allowing us to reduce the design cycle for these innovative, convenient mice, which are ideal for on-the-go end users." "We are pleased that Darfon has again selected Cypress's WirelessUSB and enCoRe technologies to deliver end-to-end connectivity End-to-end connectivity is a property of the Internet that allows all nodes of the network to send packets to all other nodes of the network, without requiring intermediate network elements to further interpret them. It was for the first time implemented in the CYCLADES-network. for their sleek, high-performance wireless mice," said Matt Branda, senior product marketing manager of Cypress's Human Interface Device Business Unit. "This design win is evidence that WirelessUSB LP offers the right combination of best-in-class interference immunity and low-power for next-generation wireless peripherals." About WirelessUSB LP Cypress's WirelessUSB LP offers an unparalleled feature set to enable superior interference immunity, low bill-of-materials (BOM) costs, higher data rate applications, and faster time-to-market for keyboards, mice, gaming devices, presenter tools, and remotes, as well as other simple, multi-point-to-point wireless applications. Featuring a highly integrated radio transceiver plus digital baseband on a single chip, it operates between 1.8 and 3.6 volts, using advanced power-saving techniques to extend battery life in devices such as wireless mice. WirelessUSB LP uses Cypress's patented frequency agile Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) See spread spectrum. ) technology to offer best-in-class interference immunity for a 2.4-GHz radio system. This combination of low power consumption, interference immunity and low cost make it ideal for wireless HID applications.

About the enCoRe Family Cypress's enCoRe USB technology features a breakthrough crystal-less oscillator oscillator Mechanical or electronic device that produces a back-and-forth periodic motion. A pendulum is a simple mechanical oscillator that swings with a constant amplitude, requiring the addition of energy at each swing only to compensate for the energy lost because of air . By integrating the oscillator on-chip, an external crystal or resonator resonator /res·o·na·tor/ (rez´o-na?ter) 1. an instrument used to intensify sounds. 2. an electric circuit in which oscillations of a certain frequency are set up by oscillations of the same frequency in another is no longer needed. Cypress has also integrated other external components commonly found in low-speed USB applications, including pull-up resistors, wake-up circuitry, and a 3.3V regulator. This integration results in shorter development cycles and lower system costs. In addition, the enCoRe family offers a Flash-based design that enables storage of wireless binding parameters as well as in-system reprogrammability and EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM) A rewritable memory chip that holds its content without power. Although EEPROMs spawned flash memory, EEPROMs are byte addressable at the write level, whereas flash chips must erase a block of bytes before rewriting. emulation.
