Chip CYRF6936
The CYRF6936 WirelessUSB LP radio is a second generation member of the Cypress WirelessUSB
radio system-on-chip (SoC) family. The CYRF6936 is interoperable with the first generation
CYWUSB69xx devices. The CYRF6936 IC adds a range of enhanced features, including increased
operating voltage range, reduced supply current in all operating modes, higher data rate options,
reduced crystal startup, synthesizer settling, and link turnaround times.
The CYRF6936 chip operates with a 2.4 GHz direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) radio trans-
ceiver and operates in the unlicensed worldwide industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band
(2.400 GHz to 2.483 GHz). The operating current is 21 mA (transmit at –5 dBm). The transmit power
is up to +4 dBm and a receive sensitivity of up to –97 dBm.
The CYRF6936 chip is targeted towards the following applications:
