Bluetooth Low Energy SoC provides integrated solution for short-range wireless

October 2, 2025

Issue 7 2025

The AIROC™ CYW20829 system-on-chip (SoC) and module from Infineon provide robust Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity for industrial and consumer applications, and combine excellent radio performance with low power consumption.

The AIROC CYW20829 is a Bluetooth Low Energy SoC which offers robust and reliable wireless connectivity for many IoT, smart home and industrial use cases. The SoC is also available in an easily integrated form as a compact Bluetooth 5.4 module, the CYW20829B0-P4TAI100.

 

In industrial automation, the AIROC CYW20829 can support the development of wireless sensor networks, where it can be used to connect sensors and devices to a central control system or the cloud. This enables real-time monitoring and control of industrial processes, allowing for improved efficiency, reduced downtime, and enhanced decision-making. For instance, the SoC or module can be used to connect temperature, pressure, or vibration sensors in a factory, enabling remote monitoring and predictive maintenance.

 

The CYW20829 can also be used in industrial automation for wireless commissioning and configuration of devices. The module’s Bluetooth 5.4 capabilities enable secure and reliable wireless connections, making it possible to configure and commission devices remotely. This can simplify the set-up and deployment of industrial devices, reducing the time and effort required for installation and maintenance.

 

Low power is combined with high performance thanks to its efficient peripheral design, low-leakage silicon, and a low-power Bluetooth radio. The CYW20829 offers superior RF connectivity: it integrates a power amplifier with 10 dBm of output power, and offers Receive sensitivity of -98.5 dBm in Bluetooth Low Energy mode.

 

The Bluetooth subsystem is built for low power consumption, with a highly optimized radio and Bluetooth control operations running on a dedicated Arm® Cortex®-M33 core. A second Cortex-M33 core is for user applications. It can be clocked at up to 96 MHz to provide high-performance compute at low power.

 

The application sub-system is highly integrated, with configurable serial communication blocks, multiple timer/counter/pulse-width modulators, and I2S, PDM, CAN and LIN interfaces.

 

The AIROC CYW20829 is supported by the ModusToolbox™ software and tools, which enable rapid development of Bluetooth enabled IoT solutions.
