WirelessUSB to enable
keyboard and mouse solutions
Cypress Semiconductor and NMB Technologies are to develop wireless keyboard and mouse solutions based on Cypress's WirelessUSB technology
The Cypress CY694X solution enables manufacturers of human-interface devices (HID) including PC mice, keyboards and gaming consoles to "cut the cord", maximising performance while minimising power requirements. "WirelessUSB offers the right combination of speed, low power, and cost efficiency that our customers demand", said Chuck Fauble, Director of Engineering for NMB Technologies' Keyboard Division.

"Our strategy is to offer this design as a significant part of our wireless product line to OEMs in the PC and other consumer markets".
"We are very gratified to be working with an industry leader like NMB, which immediately recognized the value of WirelessUSB", said Norm Taffe, Cypress's Managing Director of wireless products.
"WirelessUSB is a breakthrough technology that is inexpensive and simple to install and use.
We believe it will become a key driver in accelerating consumer demand for wireless mice and keyboards".
Operating at 2.4GHz, the CY694X can connect as many as seven devices up to 10m apart, making WirelessUSB an ideal solution for PC keyboards and mice.
In addition, WirelessUSB's speed is an unbeatable solution for the gaming industry - with an average latency of less than 8ms with four concurrent devices connected, WirelessUSB stands up to even the most rigorous gaming environments.
The CY694X, winner of EDN Magazine's 2002 "Innovation of the Year" award, makes it possible to use multiple WirelessUSB devices in crowded offices and classrooms without fear of interference between devices.
Advanced power management enables batteries to last up to six months in typical keyboard applications.
Bidirectional communication makes it possible to encrypt transmitted data, ensuring a high level of security.
Cypress's WirelessUSB products require few external components, reducing design time and complexity and speeding time to market.
