Cypress's PRoC(TM) (Programmable Radio-on-a-Chip(TM)) Device Selected for Horizon Hobby's High-Performance Remote Control Vehicles.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- PRoC Provides Superior Control For Spektrum DX6 RC Planes and Helicopters at 2.4-GHz Band with the Industry's Best Interference Immunity Cypress Semiconductor Cypress Semiconductor is a semiconductor design and manufacturing company. It began operations in 1982 and listed publicly in 1986. Two years later, the company shifted over to the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol, (NYSE: CY). Corp. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :CY) today announced that Horizon Hobby Horizon Hobby, Inc. is the second largest hobby product distributor in the United States and is headquartered in Champaign, Illinois. It currently manufactures various R/C (radio control) toys, as well as model trains, rockets, and die-cast models. has selected Cypress's Programmable Radio-on-a-Chip(TM) (PRoC(TM)) device for the Spektrum DX6 system, which is used in radio-controlled planes and helicopters. PRoC's industry-leading interference immunity protects the radio-control (RC) signals for the Spektrum DX6 from being disrupted by other 2.4-GHz signals and from the signals of other RC aircraft. The PRoC device combines Cypress's WirelessUSB(TM) 2.4-GHz radio-on-a-chip with the company's PSoC(TM) (Programmable System-on-Chip(TM)) mixed-signal array, all in a single, integrated product. WirelessUSB enables designers to significantly improve operating range, power-consumption and latency. Using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) See spread spectrum. ) technology, PRoC provides robust interference immunity and features a range of up to 50 meters and beyond. Systems with WirelessUSB also require a mixed-signal array or microcontroller for control functions and protocol implementations. A single PSoC device can integrate as many as 100 peripheral functions with a microcontroller, saving customers design time, board space, and power consumption. The combined PRoC solution offers a high-performance, low cost, integrated solution compared with designing in multiple discrete components. "Cypress's Programmable Radio-on-a-Chip has empowered Spektrum DX6 RC aircraft with the industry's most robust interference immunity and reduced our design cycle from 10 weeks to 8 weeks," said Chris Huhn, category manager of Spektrum for Horizon Hobby. "Horizon Hobby's RC customers demand precise control of their vehicles; they don't want to be affected by interference, and they want to maximize range of operation. Our PRoC-powered Spektrum DX6 line offers this truly revolutionary level of control to users." "PRoC's ease of use, interference immunity and robustness enable the driver to feel confident and connected with their aircraft's performance. These features along with PRoC's low cost makes it a natural fit for Horizon Hobby's innovative Spektrum DX6 line," said Deepak Sharma, Senior Marketing Manager for Cypress's Human Interface Device (HID) products. "These same benefits translate to a variety of applications, including consumer electronics, home and industrial automation, and Human Interface Devices." About Programmable Radio-on-a-Chip (PRoC): PRoC includes two of the Cypress's most noteworthy technologies - WirelessUSB and PSoC - in one integrated device. It offers access to a general-purpose mixed signal array with four programmable analog and four programmable digital blocks, 8KBytes of Flash program memory storage, 512 Bytes of SRAM See static RAM. SRAM - static random-access memory data storage, 8 bit Microcontroller, and a powerful Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) 2.4GHz radio system - all integrated in a compact, 48-pin QFN QFN Quad Flat No-Lead QFN Queen Fan Newsletter (rock band) QFN Quad Flat No Leads package. It is designed to implement highly-integrated, space-saving, low-cost, wireless systems operating in the worldwide 2.4-GHz ISM band (Industrial, Scientific and Medical band) A part of the radio spectrum that can be used by anybody without a license in most countries. In the U.S., the 902-928 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5.7-5. . About Horizon Hobby Founded in 1985, Horizon Hobby, Inc. is an international marketer and distributor of radio control (RC) cars, boats, planes and helicopters; model railroad; plastic and die-cast models; and other general hobby products.
