Cypress Free High-Brightness LED Online Seminar on July 18 Explores Code-Free Design.Presented in Conjunction With EE Times, Webinar will Focus on Simplifying LED Designs With Cypress's New EZ-Color[TM] High-Brightness LED Controller Family 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. -- 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 it will host a free online seminar that examines the most common problems experienced in designing with high brightness LEDs and how they are simplified by Cypress's new EZ-Color[TM] HB LED controller family. The 60-minute seminar entitled "Breakthrough, Code-Free High Brightness LED Designs," will be presented in conjunction with CMP CMP (cytidine monophosphate): see cytosine.

Manufacturer binning, heat-related changes over time and other issues present designers of LED solutions with a range of unique problems. The online seminar explores these problems and looks at how Cypress's EZ-Color solution enables designers to address these challenges without C or Assembly programming.

About the EZ-Color Family Cypress's new EZ-Color family of high brightness (HB) LED controllers pairs with PSoC Express[TM] software to deliver a complete design solution for growing applications such as architectural lighting, general signage, rechargeable flashlights, entertainment lighting, emergency vehicle lighting Emergency vehicle lighting refers to any of several visual warning devices, which can also be known as light bars or beacons, fitted to a vehicle and used when the driver wishes to convey to other road users the urgency of their journey, or to provide additional warning of a and more. The two biggest problems that HB LED engineers face today are having to account for differing LED performance specifications based on manufacturing bins and the LEDs' degradation (such as output flux, wavelength etc.) over different temperatures. With PSoC Express, designers simply select a color from a gamut presented on-screen on·screen or on-screen adj. & adv. 1. As shown on a movie, television, or display screen. 2. Within public view; in public. . Pre-loaded manufacturers' bin specifications and temperature feedback algorithms are automatically applied to the selected design and programmed into the EZ-Color controller. This can save anywhere from weeks to months of design time for a complex design. The EZ-Color controllers are also powered by Cypress patent pending PrISM(TM) (Precise Illumination Signal Modulation) technology. The PrISM modulation technology significantly reduces low-frequency flicker and radiated electro-magnetic interference (EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) An electrical disturbance in a system due to natural phenomena, low-frequency waves from electromechanical devices or high-frequency waves (RFI) from chips and other electronic devices. Allowable limits are governed by the FCC. ) -- common problems with HB LED designs. In addition to technological and ease-of-design advantages, EZ-Color controllers can support up to 16 LED channels, compared to four or five channels for competitive devices. The additional channels can mean a savings of dozens or even hundreds of controllers in very large designs, saving on design complexity, power consumption and board space. Designers also have the flexibility to add additional functionality to the EZ-Color controllers, including battery charging, motor control and other features.
