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 its PRoC[TM] LP programmable radio-on-a-chip received the 2006 Editor's Choice Technology Innovation Award for Analog/Mixed-Signal ICs from Electronic Engineering & Product World (EEPW), one of the leading electronics magazines in China. EEPW's editorial committee and copy desk, together with technical experts in the industry, identified winning products through careful selection and votes by readers of the EEPW website. The award marks the second time EEPW has recognized a Cypress PRoC device; the original PRoC was honored with a 2005 award. The low-power PRoC LP integrates Cypress's robust WirelessUSB[TM] LP 2.4-GHz transceiver and the award-winning enCoRe[TM] II 8-bit reprogrammable Flash microcontroller A single chip that contains the processor (the CPU), non-volatile memory for the program (ROM or flash), volatile memory for input and output (RAM), a clock and an I/O control unit. (MCU). PRoC LP simplifies coding and board layout to cut design time and reduce board space requirements, thus enabling innovative and sleek designs for wireless Human Interface Devices (HIDs) such as mice, presenter tools and RF remote controls. "It is high praise to have Cypress's PRoC LP follow in the footsteps of our original PRoC device and be honored with an award from EEPW," said Matt Branda, senior product marketing manager of Cypress's Human Interface Device Business Unit. "The industry-leading interference immunity and low power consumption of PRoC LP has also brought recognition from manufacturers of HIDs and other wireless products in China and around the world." Cypress recently announced that WirelessUSB LP and PRoC LP have earned over 175 design wins in under a year. About PRoC LP Cypress's PRoC LP offers an unparalleled feature set to enable superior interference immunity, low BOM costs, higher data rate applications, and faster time-to-market for dongles/bridges, mice, presenter tools, and remotes, as well as other simple, multi-point-to-point wireless applications. Featuring a radio transceiver plus digital baseband on a single chip, it operates between 1.8 and 5.25 volts, using advanced power-saving techniques to extend battery life in devices such as wireless mice. This combination of low power consumption, DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) See spread spectrum. interference immunity and low cost make it ideal for wireless HID applications. PRoC LP is available in a compact, 40-pin QFN QFN Quad Flat No-Lead QFN Queen Fan Newsletter (rock band) QFN Quad Flat No Leads package. PRoC LP also incorporates the user-friendly KISSBind[TM] feature, which enables a user to intuitively link a wireless peripheral to the desired host by simply bringing them in very close proximity with one another, thus lowering customer support calls.
