It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. , Nevada, November 12-16, 2001 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). (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :CY) today announced that it will exhibit at the 2001 Fall COMDEX(R) show, to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada from November 12 through November 16, 2001. Cypress will be in the USB Pavilion, booth No. L1631-17USB on level one of the North Hall in the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC LVCC Las Vegas Convention Center LVCC Las Vegas Country Club LVCC Liverpool Victoria County Championship (England, cricket) LVCC Lakewood Village Community Church LVCC Lucas Valley Community Church (San Rafael, CA) ). The company will feature live demonstrations of its USB solutions: -- The SL811HS USB host/peripheral controller represents USB On-the-Go (OTG). This is Cypress's first-to-market embedded host/peripheral controller which offers a dual-port defined as a single port that functions as either host or peripheral. -- Cypress's ISD-300 ATA/ATAPI bridge features high-speed USB 2.0 connectivity to mass storage devices. With speeds of up to 480 Mbits/sec, the ISD-300 is an optimum solution for applications that demand greater bandwidth such as hard drive, CD-RW, DVD-RAM, Zip, SuperDisk, HiFD, and CompactFlash. -- Cypress's TetraHub(TM) is the only hub controller to integrate four transaction translators allowing all three USB speeds -- low-speed (1.5 Mbps), full-speed (12 Mbps) and hi-speed (480 Mbps) -- to coexist in any USB-enabled system. TetraHub is a fixed-function solution, requiring no firmware intervention, thereby reducing design risk and development time. The TetraHub may be used as a high-bandwidth controller in standalone hubs, monitor hubs, port replicators, and docking stations. -- Cypress's EZ-USB FX2(TM) is the world's first USB 2.0 integrated peripheral controller. It includes an 8051 processor, a serial interface engine (SIE), a USB transceiver, on-chip RAM and FIFO, and a general programmable interface. The FX2 is a fully-integrated solution, requiring little board space and providing fast time-to-market. This device is the first high-speed USB microcontroller to successfully pass the compliance tests set by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), allowing Cypress to use the official USB 2.0 logo. -- Cypress's EZ-USB SX2(TM) intelligent serial interface engine (SIE) provides a 480-Mbps USB 2.0 connection to a peripheral containing a microcontroller. It is the only low-cost solution that does not drain the controller's resources. The "intelligent" SIE makes it easy to add high-speed USB to many peripheral applications, including scanners, printers, networking devices, and digital video cameras. About Cypress Cypress Semiconductor is "Driving the Communications Revolution"(TM) by providing high-performance integrated circuit solutions to fast-growing markets, including data communications, telecommunications, computation, consumer products, and industrial control. With a focus on emerging communications applications, Cypress's product portfolios include high-speed physical layer devices (PHYs), network search engines (NSEs), network coprocessors, datapath switching elements (DSEs), networking-optimized and micropower static RAMs; high-bandwidth multi-port and FIFO (First In First Out) A storage method that retrieves the item stored for the longest time. Contrast with LIFO. See traffic engineering methods. FIFO - first-in first-out memories; high-density programmable logic devices; timing technology for PCs and other digital systems; and controllers for Universal Serial Bus See USB. (hardware, standard) Universal Serial Bus - (USB) An external peripheral interface standard for communication between a computer and external peripherals over an inexpensive cable using biserial transmission. (USB). More than two-thirds of Cypress's sales come from fast-growing communications markets and dynamic companies such as Alcatel, Cisco, Ericsson, Lucent, Motorola, and Nortel Networks. Cypress's ability to mix and match its broad portfolio of intellectual property enables targeted, integrated solutions for high-speed systems that feed bandwidth-hungry Internet applications. Cypress aims to become the preferred silicon supplier for Internet switching systems and for every Internet data stream to pass through at least one Cypress IC. Cypress employs approximately 4,000 people worldwide with international headquarters in San Jose, Calif. Its shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) World's largest marketplace for securities. The exchange began as an informal meeting of 24 men in 1792 on what is now Wall Street in New York City. under the symbol CY.
