Cypress Highlights Its USB and Memory Solutions at the Intel Developer Forum.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 17, 2001 Cypress Semiconductor (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :CY) today announced that it will exhibit at the Fall 2001 Intel Developer Forum Intel Developer Forum (IDF), is a twice yearly gathering of technologists to discuss Intel products and products based around Intel products. The first IDF was in 1997. There is usually a Spring IDF and a Fall IDF. (IDF (Intermediate Distribution Frame) A wiring rack located between the MDF (main distribution frame) and the intended end user devices (telephones, routers, PCs, etc.). Cables run from the outside world to the MDF and then to the IDFs. See MDF and wiring rack. ), to be held at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, Calif., from August 27 through August 30, 2001. The company will highlight its 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. and memory solutions at booth No. 824: -- The EZ-USB FX2(TM) is the world's first USB 2.0 integrated peripheral controller, including an 8051 processor, a serial interface engine (SIE), a USB transceiver, on-chip RAM and FIFO, and a general programmable interface. FX2 is a fully integrated solution, requiring less board space and providing faster time-to-market. This device has 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 will also feature its broad portfolio of USB products. -- Cypress's More Battery Life(TM) (MoBL(TM)) SRAMs have the industry's lowest power consumption, using up to 70% less power than current standard, low-power SRAMs. -- Cypress Quad Data Rate(TM) (QDR(TM)) memories increase bandwidth by supporting separate data inputs and outputs for read and write operations. Independent ports transferring data on both edges of the clock result in a quad-speed transfer of data. The result is maximum bandwidth: the capability to receive data and to deliver data as fast as 333 MHz simultaneously. -- No Bus Latency (NoBL(TM)) memories, with 3.3-volt or 2.5-volt standard LVTTL I/Os and a flexible data structure, meet the requirements of today's communications systems operating between 66 MHz and 200 MHz. These memories eliminate wait states that can occur when applications switch between reading from and writing to the memory. 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, 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, Nortel Networks, and 3Com. 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.
