+ Huawei tablet. Huawei designed Cypress's TrueTouch® Gen5 TMA568 capacitive touchscreen controller into its new MediaPad X1 tablet. The controller features industry-leading gloved-finger tracking and hover support.
+ Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini smartphone. A teardown by analytics firm TechInsights found Cypress's TrueTouch Gen5 TMA545 touchscreen controller in the new Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini smartphone. The smartphone employs Gen5's advanced features, including gloved-finger tracking and hover support. The teardown noted that the TrueTouch controller replaced competing touch controllers used in the previous-generation Galaxy S4 Mini and S3 Mini smartphones.
+ Low-cost touchscreen sensors and controllers. The TrueTouch Gen4X touchscreen controller family now supports Cypress's Single-Layer Independent Multi-touch (SLIM®) sensor structures, which reduce multi-layer sensor costs by as much as 50%. The Gen4X TMA445 and TMA445A controllers also support gloved-finger tracking and a face-detection feature that prevents hang-ups.
+ CapSense buttons for 2.5 cents. Cypress announced that designers can now replace mechanical buttons for just 2.5 cents apiece using its CY8CMBR3110 CapSense® controllers. The mechanical button replacement (MBR) family enables the quick implementation of sleek, reliable capacitive touch-sensing user interfaces with advanced features such as water tolerance and proximity sensing.
+ A $49 kit to implement USB 3.0. Cypress introduced a new, low-cost, easy-to-use USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Explorer Kit based on its programmable EZ-USB® FX3 peripheral controller, the undisputed leader for USB 3.0-compatible devices. The development platform enables designers to add 5-Gbps USB 3.0 data throughput to virtually any system quickly and cheaply.
+ Cypress-Lattice kit. Cypress collaborated with Lattice Semiconductor to bring 5-Gbps data throughput to the Lattice USB 3.0 Video Bridge Development Kit. The kit uses the Cypress EZ-USB FX3 controller to simplify the integration of USB 3.0 audio and high-definition (HD) video.
+ Raytrix camera. Raytrix GmbH selected Cypress's EZ-USB CX3 USB 3.0 camera controller for its next-generation 3-D camera. The CX3's 5-Gbps USB 3.0 throughput enables the innovative R42 3-D Light Field Camera to create images with extended depth-of-field, allowing for precise focusing later in software.
+ Nonvolatile DDR4 DIMMs. Cypress subsidiary AgigA Tech began sampling the industry's first DDR4 Nonvolatile DIMM (NVDIMM) to key OEMs and development partners. The NVDIMM preserves data during power outages, while still operating as a full-performance DIMM. The device targets next-generation, Intel-based server platforms.
+ Ultra-high-reliability SRAM. Cypress expanded its family of asynchronous SRAMs with a new 16 Mb MoBL® (More Battery Life) low-power SRAM that includes embedded, on-chip Error-Correcting Code (ECC). On-chip ECC makes these SRAMs 1,000 times more reliable than standard SRAMs and eliminates the need for additional error correction chips.
+ Foundry technology deal. Cypress and Chinese wafer foundry licensee Shanghai Huali Microelectronics Corp. (HLMC) developed functioning memory cells using Cypress's SONOS (Silicon Oxide Nitride Oxide Silicon) embedded flash memory intellectual property (IP) at the 55-nanometer process technology node. The nonvolatile memory cells are designed for use in smartcards and embedded-flash microcontrollers.
+ Access to 60,000 technical documents. Cypress introduced a document management tool that helps customers quickly search Cypress online technical content. The Cypress Document Manager tool allows users to search and locate more than 60,000 Cypress technical documents.
