| | | Low-Cost MCUs Feature Wireless Connectivity |
| STMicroelectronics (ST) has released its STM32WB50 Value Line wireless MCUs that are a full and pin-compatible derivative of ST's STM32WB55 SoC. The device was created to serve cost-sensitive connected devices that need to support BLE, ZigBee 3.0 or OpenThread. The devices offer a good link budget from 100dB in BLE mode up to 104dB in 802.15.4 mode. |

| | | Bluetooth-Enabled ECG Monitor |
| Brian Millier has written articles in the past about projects that use Cypress Semiconductor’s PSoC MCUs. Here, he explores the latest offerings from this MCU family, the PSoC6 5LP MCU. In this project article, Brian selects the Cypress CY8CPROTO-063-BLE to build a Bluetooth-enabled ECG monitor. |
