Cypress MicroSystems Hosts Seminar Series to Offer Advanced Analog and Power Management Techniques.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BOTHELL, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 16, 2002 Seminars Demonstrate How the Programmable System on Chip(TM) (PSoC(TM)) Mixed Signal Array Aids Analog Programming and Increases Design Reliability Cypress MicroSystems Cypress MicroSystems (CMS) markets high-performance, field Programmable System-on-a-Chip (PSoC) integrated M8 micro-based solutions. CMS is based in Lynnwood, near Seattle, Washington and was established as a subsidiary of Cypress Semiconductor Corporation in the fourth quarter of , a subsidiary of 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), today announced a series of free seminars to provide embedded engineers with techniques for designing advanced analog applications and building bulletproof Refers to extremely stable hardware and/or software that cannot be brought down no matter what unusual conditions arise. See industrial strength. bulletproof - Used of an algorithm or implementation considered extremely robust; lossage-resistant; capable of correctly circuits, using the unique Programmable System on Chip(TM) (PSoC(TM)) architecture. The two-hour telephone seminars will be held at 10:00 a.m. PST PST Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, see there on January 13, January 27, February 10 and February 24, 2003. Analog experts from Cypress MicroSystems, Dave Van Ess and Dennis Seguine, will discuss how design engineers can use the PSoC mixed signal array for complex analog applications, such as optical sensing optical sensing, in general, any method by which information that occurs as variations in the intensity, or some other property, of light is translated into an electric signal. This is usually accomplished by the use of various photoelectric devices. , filtering and signal rectification. The seminar will also teach attendees how defend their designs against failure due to power management issues, including as brown-outs, power spikes, and slow power on- and off-ramps.

The PSoC device family integrates programmable blocks of analog and digital logic, a fast 8-bit CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. , 8 to 16 Kbytes of Flash memory and 256 bytes of SRAM See static RAM. SRAM - static random-access memory . This provides designers with a flexible architecture that can be configured for a broad range of embedded applications and dynamically reconfigured to extend the capabilities and value of the device. The PSoC platform typically reduces customer development time by 33 percent and lowers bill of material (BOM) costs by an average of $5, significantly reducing the number of chips required for solutions that previously utilized a traditional microcontroller and discrete digital and analog components.
