Infineon Technologies PSOC™4XX8_BLE Embedded System Controllers

Infineon Technologies PSOC™4XX8_BLE Embedded System Controllers have a scalable and reconfigurable platform for embedded system controllers. The controller has an Arm^® Cortex™-M0 CPU that combines programmable and reconfigurable analog and digital blocks with flexible automatic routing. PSOC4XX8_BLE combines a microcontroller with an integrated BLUETOOTH^® Low Energy (BLE) and is also known as BLUETOOTH Smart, radio, and subsystem (BLESS). Some features include digital programmable logic, high-performance, analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), and op-amps. Infineon Technologies PSoC4XX8_BLE products are compatible with members of the PSoC4 platform for application and design needs.
