INTELLIGENT LOW- POWER WIRELESSUSB LP
F E AT U R E S
The CYRF6936 WirelessUSB Low Power (LP) radio is a second-generation member of
the Cypress WirelessUSB Radio System-On-Chip (SoC) family. Designed to operate in the
2.4 GHz ISM band, it maintains Wireless USB’s award-winning interference immunity and
superior co-location abilities. Key enhancements comprise low power consumption, the
ability to drive supply rails of external devices, and support for up to 255-byte payloads.

WirelessUSB LP’s 1-Mbps mode faster than competition’s 2-Mbps mode for larger payloads
Superior Interference Immunity - WirelessUSB LP achieves military-grade interference
immunity through the use of Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology. In
additions to DSSS, it has built-in interference detection technology that can detect and
avoid noisy channels, resulting in an exceptionally robust 2.4 GHz radio link.
Auto Transaction Sequencer - The device enables link layer automation, where entire
transmit and receive transactions can take place without MCU firmware action.
Power Management Unit (PMU) - The PMU allows WirelessUSB LP to drive the supply
voltages of external devices such as MCUs and optical sensors with 2.4 to 2.7 V at a
current of up to 15 mA. This eliminates the need for an external boost converter in most
battery-powered applications, reducing BOM cost.
AutoRate Receiver - WirelessUSB LP automatically detects incoming packet data rates

from 1 Mbps down to 16 kbps and enables mixed- and dynamic-rate systems.
