­­Cypress Reports Second Quarter 2015 Results

SECOND QUARTER 2015 HIGHLIGHTS

  • Cypress began sampling the newest member of its family of power management integrated circuits (PMICs) targeting Energy Harvesting applications for the Internet of Things. The new Cypress PMICs, designed and developed by Spansion, are optimized for energy harvesting from ambient light, heat or vibrations to eliminate the need for batteries in wireless sensor nodes (WSNs) that monitor physical and environmental conditions in smart homes, buildings and factories.
  • Cypress expanded its Spansion-designed NOR HyperFlash product line with the qualification of a new 256Mb memory. The 3-V HyperFlash device is the latest addition to the industry's first flash memory family that supports the high-bandwidth, low-pin-count HyperBus™ interface. Running at frequencies up to 166 MHz, HyperFlash products can achieve Double-Data-Rate (DDR) read bandwidths as high as 333 MBps.
  • Cypress's Energy Harvesting PMICs and Programmable System-on-Chip Bluetooth® Low Energy (PSoC 4 BLE) products won UBM Canon's EE Times and EDN Annual Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Awards. The ACE Awards are judged by a blue-ribbon panel of industry experts, consisting of the leading voices of academia, industry executives and content experts.
  • Cypress introduced two reference design kits (RDKs) based on its Programmable Radio-on-Chip Bluetooth Low Energy (PRoC™ BLE) solution for Bluetooth Smart applications; the kits provide feature-rich, production-ready implementations of RF remote controls with long battery life, the latest industry trend. The CY5672 RDK provides a remote control with a trackpad, motion-sensing and voice recognition, and the CY5682 RDK provides a touch mouse that works with all major operating systems.
  • Cypress and Arrow Electronics announced the winners of their joint design contest, which challenged engineers to design solutions for the IoT using Cypress's PSoC 4 BLE, the industry's most-integrated programmable one-chip Bluetooth Smart solution. A data collection and logging system that displays the battery usage for an electric bicycle earned the top prize.
  • Cypress is the leader in the new USB Power Delivery field with its EZ-PD™ CCG1 and EZ-PD CCG2 USB Type-C controllers, which has passed the USB Implementers' Forum (USB-IF) certification test. The new super-slim 2.4-mm USB Type-C connector—which transmits multiple data protocols and delivers up to 100 W of power—is rapidly being adopted. For example, a USB Type-C connector is the sole data and power connector on the newest Apple® MacBook® computer.
  • Leading Japanese electronics publication Semiconductor Industry News honored the EZ-PD CCG1 and EZ-PD CCG2 USB Type-C controllers as part of the publication's 21st annual "Semiconductor of the Year" awards. The publication's editors chose the Cypress solutions for the "Award for Excellence" because of their high quality and ability to meet the accelerating demand of the USB Type-C market.
  • Cypress announced two complete silicon and software solutions for USB Type-C adapter dongles based on its EZ-PD CCG1 controller. The first solution enables dongle connectivity to a DisplayPort (DP) or Mini DisplayPort (mDP) receptacle, allowing emerging Type-C notebooks and monitors to work with older products. The second solution enables connectivity to HDMI/DVI/VGA receptacles and older displays. In addition, Cypress expanded its USB Type-C design support with the new CY4501 CCG1 Development Kit (DVK), which enables designers to add USB Type-C connectivity to any system.
  • Cypress introduced the industry's only 4Mb serial Ferroelectric Random Access Memories (F-RAMs™), which are the highest-density products of their kind available. Cypress F-RAMs are ideal solutions for applications that require continuous or frequent high-speed reading and writing of data with absolute data security. The 4Mb serial F-RAM family records mission-critical data in medical, industrial and automotive applications.
  • Cypress announced availability of the industry's highest-density synchronous SRAMs with 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 in medical and other mission-critical systems. Cypress will continue to expand the family this year with additional densities.
  • Cypress subsidiary Deca Technologies announced that it has shipped a cumulative 500 million units of wafer-level chip scale packages (WLCSP) since the subsidiary company's launch.
