Cypress Semiconductor Corp. announced Oura Health’s new Oura smart ring utilizes Cypress PSoC 6 BLE microcontroller (MCU), the lowest power, most flexible dual-core MCU with built-in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wireless connectivity. Cypress’ secure PSoC 6 MCU architecture enables Oura users to track their sleep, recovery and daily activities for up to seven days with a single charge. Leveraging its ultra-low power 40-nanometer process, low-power design techniques and a dual-core Arm Cortex-M4 and Cortex-M0+ architecture, the PSoC 6 MCU enables the new Oura ring to achieve more than 3-times the battery life and 10-times the processing capacity of its predecessor, along with a 50%-smaller form factor. The PSoC 6 MCU’s BLE connectivity allows users data to seamlessly sync with the Oura app and Oura Cloud and supports Over the Air (OTA) firmware updates. The Oura ring can also store data offline for up to six weeks with PSoC 6 MCU’s integrated flash memory.
