Cypress Announces CyberClocks Timing Tool Suite.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers 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.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 7, 2003 Software Supports All Cypress Programmable Clocks and Reduces Critical Time-To-Market, Simplifying Complex PLL PLL - phase-locked loop Programming to Ensure Device Compliance 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). Corporation (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :CY), the world leader in timing technology solutions, today announced the release of its all-inclusive timing development tool suite. CyberClocks(TM) software simplifies timing design by introducing a "black-box" approach to configuring programmable clocks. While traditional software models cater to engineers who understand phase-locked loop A phase-locked loop or phase lock loop (PLL) is an electronic control system that generates a signal that has a fixed relation to the phase of a "reference" signal. A phase-locked loop circuit responds to both the frequency and the phase of the input signals, automatically (PLL) technology, the black-box approach of CyberClocks enables anyone, without any knowledge of the workings of a PLL, to simply specify input and output clock requirements and allow CyberClocks to compute the best configuration. CyberClocks software supports Cypress's growing line of programmable clock chips by allowing the system designer to customize his requirements in real time, under a programming simulation environment on his personal computer. The innovative development suite provides software tools that automatically search for the most optimized clocking solution while radically minimizing user interaction and design time. CyberClocks software performs exhaustive computation on the requirements and optimizes the results to meet all the performance parameters set by the designer. CyberClocks' embedded design rule checking ensures that the PLL system achieves stability under all valid programming conditions and data sheet parameters. "With no previous knowledge of our devices, designers can specify the system frequency information and CyberClocks software will rapidly configure to the optimal solution," said Wayne Gill Wayne Gill (born November 28, 1975 in Chorley, Lancashire) is an English former footballer, and current physio for Lancaster City. Career Gill began his career with Blackburn Rovers but failed to make a first-team appearance, spending time on loan at Dundee United and , business unit manager for Cypress's Timing Technology Division. "CyberClocks software now makes programming PLL devices -- once considered a complex process -- almost trivial, automatically performing rules checking and verification to ensure full device compliance." CyberClocks software takes the guesswork out of a complex process by generating a spreadsheet-like interface that shows a register description and programming-bit content. In addition, CyberClocks software offers the system designer a simple interface consisting of PLL input and frequency output for the latest in clock technology. This interface conceals all the complex underlying calculations from the designer, freeing him to focus on design solutions rather than design processes. Pricing and Availability CyberClocks software is free and can be downloaded off the web today at http://www.cypress.com/support. Select Software, then Programmable Clocks. While CyberClocks software is currently designed to run as a standalone program In early computers, standalone program was a computer program designed to run on a computer without an operating system. Standalone programs had to be loaded by the same booting procedure that is also used to load an operating system. on a user's PC, Cypress is planning to support a real-time version on the Cypress website in mid-2003. Online updates will ensure that designers always have the latest in programming algorithm technology and device upgrades at their fingertips "Fingertips" is a 1963 number-one hit single recorded live by "Little" Stevie Wonder for Motown's Tamla label. Wonder's first hit single, "Fingertips" was the first live, non-studio recording to reach number-one on the Billboard Pop Singles chart in the United States. . About Cypress Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE:CY) is Connecting From Last Mile to First Mile(TM) with high-performance solutions for personal, network access, enterprise, metro switch, and core communications-system applications. Cypress Connects(TM) using wireless, wireline, digital, and optical transmission standards, including Bluetooth, USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. , Fibre Channel, SONET/SDH, Gigabit Ethernet, and DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing . Leveraging its process and system-level expertise, Cypress makes industry-leading physical layer devices, framers, and network search engines, along with a broad portfolio of high-bandwidth memories, timing technology solutions, and programmable microcontrollers.
