About this manual

The CYWUSB6935 is a single‑chip 2.4‑GHz DSSS radio SoC that integrates a GFSK modem, dual DSSS baseband, and a programmable PA. It operates in the ISM band (2.4‑2.483 GHz) with up to 0 dBm output power, –95 dBm receive sensitivity, and a data rate of up to 62.5 kbits/sec. The device is offered in a 48‑pin lead‑free QFN package and supports industrial (‑40 °C to 85 °C) and commercial temperature ranges.

The chip provides a four‑wire SPI slave interface (MOSI, MISO, SCK, SS) and an optional DIO SERDES‑bypass mode for high‑speed data transfer. It includes a programmable PA with 30 dB output range, a 13 MHz crystal‑driven synthesizer, RSSI measurement, and a full set of configurable interrupts for transmit, receive, and wake events. All registers are accessible via SPI and are documented in the register map.

Frequently asked questions

What pins are used for the SPI interface?

The SPI interface uses four pins: MOSI (Master Out‑Slave In), MISO (Master In‑Slave Out), SCK (Serial Clock), and SS (Slave Select, active‑low).

How is the RSSI value interpreted?

RSSI values lower than 10 indicate a weak signal, values between 10 and 28 indicate a moderate signal, and values greater than 28 indicate a strong signal.
