Cypress' CyFi employed in Pure Audio Systems
MUMBAI: Pure, the UK's leading radio manufacturer, has employed Cypress Semiconductor Corp's CyFiâ„? Low-Power Wireless powered by a PSoC® programmable system-on-chip to implement communication in the remote control for the EVOKE Flow and AVANTI Flow digital audio systems.
The CyFi wireless solution overcomes infrared's line-of-sight requirement, enabling the full-featured remote controls to access the audio systems from another room. The EVOKE Flow also leverages the versatile Cypress CapSenseâ„? solution to implement the touch-sensing controls on its front panel.
The CyFi Low-Power Wireless solution's ultra-low-power consumption prolongs battery life. Its industry-leading interference immunity allows remote controls to operate uninterrupted in the home environment, where the 2.4-GHz spectrum is crowded with signals from Wi-Fi, microwaves, cordless phones and other devices. The CyFi solution is enhanced by the flexible and easy-to-use PSoC programmable system-on-chip, which reduces the complexity of quantifying a sensor's signal by integrating the amplification, filtering, and ADC stages into a single device
The award-winning EVOKE Flow portable radio and AVANTI Flow tabletop digital audio system offer users a rich choice of audio content from sources such as internet radio using the built in Wi-Fi connection, DAB or FM broadcasts, or even music on a home Wi-Fi network.
Top-quality digital audio systems such as PURE's Flow products demand a feature-rich remote control with high reliability and low-power consumption for years of battery life,... said Martin Harrison, Director of Hardware Development at PURE We chose the CyFi solution for its ease of integration and flexibility.
