Datasheet

The CY8CKIT PSoC 4 BLE 256K module from Cypress Seiconductor is in stock at distributor Mouser Electronics. This fully certified Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module is an easy-to-use solution for creating a complete BLE system with Bluetooth 4.2 features — data length extension, upgraded privacy, and enhanced security — all of which are critical for internet of Things (IoT) applications.

The module’s compatibility with Cypress’s small-footprint (10×10×1.8mm) CYBLE-222014-01 Bluetooth 4.2 module makes it ideal for medical, home automation, and wearables applications.

The module features a PSoC 4 BLE device with 256 KBytes of flash and 32 KBytes of SRAM, 24-MHz and 32.768-kHz crystals, a PCB antenna, and other passives while providing access to all 36 general-purpose inputs and outputs (GPIOs) of the device.

PSoC 4 BLE is a 48MHz ARM Cortex-M0 based single-chip solution that integrates a programmable analog front end, programmable digital peripherals, CapSensetouch-sensing technology, and includes a royalty-free stack and radio compatible with Bluetooth 4.2.

The module’s programmable architecture supports a number of peripheral functions (such as ADC, timers, counters, and PWM) and serial communication protocols (including I²C, UART, and SPI).

The module can be used standalone with an external programmer like the CY8CKIT-002 MiniProg3 or plugged into the CY8CKIT-042-BLE Bluetooth Low Energy Pioneer Kit for easy prototyping with the PSoC Creator integrated development environment.
