Supports UART, SPI, and ^I2C serial communication interfaces
OTA updates, unlocked operation possible
Mouser Electronics will supply Cypress Semiconductor's Bluetooth modules EZ-BLE and EZ-BT WICED on October 31.

The fully integrated Bluetooth Smart Ready EZ-BTE and low-power Bluetooth EZ-BL WICED (Wireless Internet Connectivity for Embedded Devices) modules simplify the design and development process for IoT devices, home automation, medical equipment, and industrial applications.

Cypress’s EZ-BLE and EZ-BT WICED modules supplied by Mouser combine a crystal oscillator, flash memory, and passive components on board, and also provide one of Cypress’s CYW207xx SoCs equipped with a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M3 processor. It supports Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) as a low-power device, and also supports interfaces such as UART, SPI, and ^I2C serial communication.

The EZ-BTE module also includes a PCM/I ² S audio interface and 512Kbytes of serial flash memory. Produced in a version with 128Kbytes of flash memory and 60Kbytes of SRAM, it enables OTA updates and standby operation, and is designed based on a pre-programmed EZ-Serial firmware platform to provide low-power Bluetooth connectivity performance that is immediately and easily usable.

The EZ-BT WICED module includes a royalty-free Bluetooth stack (Bluetooth 5.0 compatible) and a BLE stack (Bluetooth 4.1 compatible).

Cypress’s WICED Studio SDK, which supports EZ-BLE and EZ-BT WICED modules, is an IoT SDK that combines Wi-Fi and Bluetooth into a single IDE. With the WICED Studio IDE, you can quickly configure, develop, and program Bluetooth applications.

Mouser offers evaluation boards for EZ-BLE and EZ-BT WICED, which engineers can utilize when developing products using the modules. Designers can use the evaluation boards as standalone evaluation kits or expand them further using Arduino-compatible shields.
