The Titanium board has been developed by Cypress Semiconductor and Arrow Electronics. It is a technology ecosystem designed to enable developers to create products using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), cellular and LPWAN technologies, while taking advantage of Cypress’ low-power edge computing capabilities.

The board is designed to the Linaro 96Boards IoT edition specification, and features Cypress’ PSoC6 microcontroller (MCU) with dual-core processing and BLE 5.0.

With power provided by the Cypress EZ-PD CCG3 USB-C controller, Titanium also provides developers with advanced sensing capabilities featuring Bosch Sensortec’s new BME680 integrated environmental sensor for measurement of gas, humidity, temperature, and pressure.

The platform is Arm mBed-compatible, and features a 40-pin expansion connector compatible with other 96board platforms.

Developers can take advantage of the expansion capability of the Titanium board to evaluate multiple connectivity and technology options, including the upcoming Cypress WICED mezzanine card currently in development.

Arrow and Cypress will make future announcements on new products within this technology ecosystem.

The PSoC 6 MCU is a low-power, flexible MCU with built-in Bluetooth low-energy wireless connectivity and integrated hardware-based security in a single device. The dual-core Arm Cortex-M4 and Cortex-M0+ MCU architecture lets designers optimise for power and performance simultaneously.
