Infineon Expands AIROC Wi-Fi 6/6E with CYW5591x Microcontrollers: Accelerating IoT Connectivity and Innovation

Infineon has introduced a new product family called AIROC CYW5591x Connected Microcontroller (MCU) that combines Wi-Fi 6/6E and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.4 with a secure and versatile MCU. This allows customers to create cost-effective, energy-efficient, compact products for smart home, industrial, wearables, and other IoT applications. The platform includes ModusToolbox software, RTOS and Linux host drivers, a validated Bluetooth stack, sample code examples, Matter software support, and access to Infineon's global partner network to help speed up time-to-market for customers.

Infineon, a prominent player in the IoT industry with over a billion Wi-Fi devices in use globally, is dedicated to promoting decarbonization and digitalization through energy-efficient solutions that enable products to connect to the cloud. According to Sivaram Trikutam, Vice President of Wi-Fi Products at Infineon Technologies, their user-friendly software, top-notch wireless performance, and minimal power usage make it possible to create exceptional IoT products using the AIROC CYW5591x Connected MCU family.

This versatile group of devices can function as the primary processor in an IoT device or as a component in more intricate designs to handle connectivity for IoT applications. There are three versions available: CYW55913 supports tri-band (2.4/5/6 GHz), CYW55912 supports dual-band (2.4/5 GHz), and CYW55911 supports single-band (2.4GHz).

Main characteristics

Some additional important characteristics of the new devices are:
