Cypress MicroSystems and Avnet Cilicon to Present Netseminar ''PSoC Replaces MCUs in Embedded Applications''.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers LYNNWOOD, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 17, 2003 Presentation to be held on Monday, July 21, 2003 at 8:00 AM PDST/5:00 PM GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) See UTC. GMT - Universal Time 1 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 Inc., 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), and Avnet Cilicon, the semiconductor specialist division of Avnet Electronics Marketing, today announced that they will host a one-hour web seminar entitled "PSoC Replaces MCUs in Embedded Applications." The seminar will begin with a brief introduction to Cypress's revolutionary Programmable System-on-Chip(TM) (PSoC(TM)), its reconfigurable mixed-signal array with an embedded microcontroller. The seminar will explore PSoC's impact on the market, where the $2 device is rapidly becoming the most popular product for embedded applications. The presenters will focus on application examples, including power meters and lighting ballasts, along with technical details that make up the PSoC advantage. Robert Ashby, a Utah State University Utah State University, mainly at Logan; coeducational; land-grant and state supported; chartered 1888, opened 1890. It publishes Utah Science, Western Historical Quarterly, and Western American Literary Journal. lecturer, widely-published author, and leading authority on embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. , will discuss the impact of PSoC on the embedded market. John McDonald, VP of marketing at Cypress Microsystems, and Dennis Seguine, principal applications manager at Cypress Microsystems, will introduce PSoC and explain its use in a number of practical applications. About the PSoC Family 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. and MAC, 8 to 16 Kbytes of flash memory and 256 bytes of SRAM See static RAM. SRAM - static random-access memory . PSoC ICs provide 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 their product. The PSoC platform typically reduces customer development time by 33% and lowers bill of material costs by an average of $5 by significantly reducing the number of chips required for systems typically utilizing a traditional microcontroller and discrete digital and analog components.
