be used in the development phase to optimize products and in production to verify audio characteristics. When establishing the Bluetooth connection, the flexible R&S CMW500 can operate as master or slave. It supports the hands-free audio gateway mode, authentication when pairing Bluetooth devices with headsets, etc. and the volume control function on the microphones and headsets. it supports various voice codecs, including CVSD and mSBC. R&S CMW platform: the right solution for all M2M/IoT requirements For users who only perform Bluetooth® and WLAN non-cellular integrations tasks, the R&S CMW270 wireless connectivity tester offers a cost-effective solution. The R&S CMW270 was also qualified by the Bluetooth SIG for RF measurements. The R&S CMW290 functional tester supports all common cellular and non-cellular mobile communications standards. Wireless module integrators require extensive functional tests for hardware and applications. The R&S CMW290 offers all essential measurements and an excellent price/performance ratio. Rohde & Schwarz will demonstrate its R&S CMW platform for Bluetooth tests at booth C40, hall 6 at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The new R&S CMW-KS602 option for Bluetooth audio tests will be available fromRohde & Schwarz in March 2016.

throughput and enabling new data to be written quickly. For battery- powered applications, the memory extends battery life by providing low standby current and a deep-power- down mode. The FS-S NOR Flash family offers AEC-Q100 automotive qualification and supports an extended temperature range of -40˚C to +125˚C. “Our new 1.8V, 64Mb FS-S NOR Flash device has a low pin count that is ideal for space- constrained wireless applications, and it is optimized for other high-performance applications, expanding the reach of the family,” said Hiro Ino, Senior Director of the NOR Flash Product Family at Cypress. “This product marks a continuation of Cypress’s strategy to expand our high-performance memory portfolio and our NOR Flash market leadership.” Availability Cypress’s 64Mb FS-S Quad SPI NOR Flash memory is now sampling in 8-lead SOIC and 24-ball BGA packages. Production will start in the second quarter of 2016. Energy Harvesting Power Management Unit Delivers Industry-Leading Efficiency in Energy Scarce IoT Applications Analog Devices, Inc. today announced a power management unit (PMU) designed to enable faster and more efficient energy harvesting in IoT applications where energy is scarce. Due to its unique circuit design, the ADP509x is among the most efficient energy harvesting PMUs on the market, converting harvested power down to the 16 μW to 100mW range with only sub-

Cypress Introduces the Industry’s Fastest 64Mb Quad Serial Peripheral Interface NOR Flash Memory with Extended Temperature Range Support New FS-S Family Device Provides High Read Bandwidth to Enable Faster Access Times in High- Performance Embedded Systems Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq: CY), a global leader in embedded systems solutions, today introduced a 1.8V, 64Mb NOR Flash memory with a Quad Serial Peripheral Interface (Quad SPI). The newest device in the Cypress FS-S NOR Flash family combines the Quad SPI interface with the industry’s highest read bandwidth and fastest program time while enabling a small PCB layout. The device is ideal for high- performance applications, such as video game consoles, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), automotive instrument clusters and infotainment systems, networking equipment and set-top boxes. High-performance system designs require the highest read bandwidth for program execution, a small, low- pin-count package, and the fastest program and sector erase times. The 64Mb FS-S Quad SPI NOR Flash memory leverages an 80-MHz Double Data Rate (DDR) mode to deliver read bandwidth of 80 MBps and enables the fastest program execution for high-performance systems. Available in industry- standard compact 8-lead SOIC and 24-ball BGA packages, the device saves board space and simplifies layout. The device provides a 0.475-ms program time per 512 bytes, increasing manufacturing
