German electronics company Infineon has launched the Airoc Bluetooth LE and 802.15.4 family to help companies bring low-power, high-performing Matter products to market.

The CYW30739 system on chip (SoC) is a secure and scalable device to connect low-power devices in a smart home. The combination of Bluetooth LE and 802.15.4 protocols can enhance the performance of smart home products with seamless interoperability, while enabling end-to-end encrypted communication between individual devices in a Matter network.

The SoC uses a low-power radio, which is key for low-power multi-protocol systems. More importantly, it offers RF performance for robust connections and user-experience without connection drops.

The low-power consumption supports applications that require extended battery life including smart homes, buildings and lighting. Design techniques and process technology help reduce active and idle power.

It includes -95.5dBm LE Rx and -103.5dBm 802.15.4 sensitivity for reliable, long-range Bluetooth and multi-protocol connectivity. This smart coexistence creates a seamless interaction between a plethora of connected devices, providing a better user experience within a smart home. The integrated 96MHz Arm Cortex-M4 microcontroller with floating point unit delivers high-performance computing as well as an optimised memory system across flash, RAM and ROM.

“With the launch of the Airoc CYW30739 Bluetooth LE and 802.15.4 SoC, Infineon is entering the 802.15.4 market to deliver high-performing, low-power with seamless, secure connectivity to enable more convenient, energy efficient smart homes,” said Sonal Chandrasekharan, vice president at Infineon. “Infineon is excited to enter this market with Matter-ready products across our wireless portfolio.”

To demonstrate the company’s commitment to Matter, Infineon recently expanded its role with the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) by joining the alliance’s board of directors as a promoter member.

Infineon offers a comprehensive wireless portfolio to support Matter including the company’s Airoc wifi, Airoc Bluetooth and 802.15.4, and PSoC 6 MCU products. Developers can accelerate the deployment of Matter products by accessing Infineon’s software support for Matter in an open-source repository, and additional Matter-specific capabilities in Infineon’s Modus Toolbox software and tools.
