Cypress Korea (Branch Manager Lim Young-Do www.cypress.com) announced that BORND (www.bornd.com), a PC peripheral manufacturer based in China,
has adopted Cypress's 2.4-GHz WirelessUSB-NL™ radio-on-a chip for its E220 next-generation wireless mouse.

The low-power consumption feature of WirelessUSB-NL enables two AA batteries to power the E220 mouse for up to three years. Additionally, the extended range of WirelessUSB-NL allows the E220 mouse to operate at distances up to 30 meters. BORND will also use Cypress's enCoRe™ II and enCoRe V low-voltage companion microcontrollers for each USB dongle and mouse respectively.

Cypress WirelessUSB-NL boasts an impressive receiver sensitivity of -87dBm to enable longer-range operation. This
device is characterized by very low active and standby current (1 µA or less) and features a closed-loop radio architecture that minimizes signal frequency drift for very robust wireless performance. Like other Cypress WirelessUSB product families, the WirelessUSB-NL device delivers superior performance in the presence of common interference from 2.4-GHz sources such as WiFi, Bluetooth, cordless phones, and microwave ovens.

"The E220 wireless mouse is an excellent product, and we are pleased to help BORND bring it to market quickly. Battery life and long operating range are important differentiators for wireless mice, and WirelessUSB-NL delivers industry-leading performance in both of these areas," said Lim Young-Do, Branch Manager of Cypress Korea.

"Cypress's WirelessUSB and enCoRe solutions were critical components in the BORND E220 mouse, and the exceptional battery life and long-range connectivity have attracted significant industry attention. Equally important was the support our design team received from Cypress," said Kevin Zhang, General Manager of BORND.

WirelessUSB-NL is complemented by Cypress's enCoRe™ II and enCoRe V low-voltage highly integrated microcontrollers, providing manufacturers with single-source supply and support. WirelessUSB-NL also supports Cypress's Agile HID™ protocol, which enables existing WirelessUSB customers to quickly launch their designs without any additional effort.
