Low-power MCUs for power-efficient smart thermostats

PSoC™ 6 microcontrollers’ (MCUs) power and performance are ideal for smart thermostats with the MCUs low-power 40 nm technology and dual-core CPU architecture. With CAPSENSE™ capacitive touch sensing, robust security capabilities, rich analog and digital peripherals enable PSoC™ 6 MCUs to integrate many discrete ICs / smaller MCU functionality into a single chip, saving board space and BOM costs. 

Infineon’s PSoC™ 4 general purpose MCUs feature an analog block with SAR ADC, Op-Amps and low-power comparators; and a multi-sensing block with CAPSENSE™ technology, delivering capacitive and inductive sensing for proximity wakeup/backlight and HMI features such as touch button and radial sliders while consuming as low as 6uA in ultra-low power mode.

PSOC™ Edge high performance MCU delivers high energy efficiency with Cortex-M55 paired with Ethos-U55 NPU for AI/ML processing at the edge, state-of-the art security and graphics interfaces, making it ideal for next-generation smart thermostats.
