Bluetooth 4.2 Overview Slide 7

There are several wireless system design problems customers are facing. The first problem is the fact that designing a BLE product is complex and time consuming. Multiple tools both hardware and software are needed to develop, program, and test a BLE application. Each of these functional areas require a deep understanding of the BLE wireless stack which is inherently a complex stack. The second problem is that the emerging BLE products need enhanced security, privacy, and throughput. That is not fulfilled with Bluetooth 4.1 standard. For higher security needs like in a banking card solution, with Bluetooth 4.1, appropriate security integration is needed, thus enhancing the interoperability. Similarly, Bluetooth 4.1 limits the bandwidth to around 305 Kbps, resulting in a slower, over the air firmware upgrade. The third problem is designing systems with multiple ICs increases the BOM cost. Building sensor based systems requires analog front ends, digital control logic, a BLE radio, and a MCU. Most of these systems also require sophisticated user interface, that need additional touch or display ICs. The fourth problem is of achieving the required performance at very low power and optimizing the system power requires very careful use of the available power mode. Cypress's BLE solutions solves these problems by providing an easy to use component, with an embedded configurable protocol stack in PSoC creator IDE, compliance with the latest Bluetooth 4.2 standard, and addressing the latest security, privacy, and throughput needs of emerging products. Cypress BLE Solutions provide a one chip Cortex M0 solution with programmable AFEs, digital logic, CapSense, an integrated Balun, and five power modes, easily called by APIs, to optimize system design for increased battery life.
