Cypress MicroSystems to Discuss Programmable System-on-Chip --PSoC-- at SoC Online Conference; Visit Interactive Exhibit Hall October 14-15, 2003.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers LYNNWOOD, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 10, 2003 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), today announced that it will be a Gold Sponsor of CMP CMP (cytidine monophosphate): see cytosine. (1) (CMP Media LLC, Manhasset, NY, www.cmp.com) Part of United Business Media, CMP is a leading integrated media company that offers a wide variety of publications and services in the information Media's System on Chip (SoC) Online Conference and Exhibition to be held October 14-15 at www.soconline.com. SoC Online is a free, web-based, interactive conference and exhibition focusing on some of the key market and technology challenges facing the SoC Community in the next 12 to 18 months. SoC Online features an interactive exhibit hall where visitors can chat live with exhibiting companies, ask questions in real time, review product information via web presentations and download whitepapers, data sheets and company overviews. Cypress MicroSystems will have a virtual exhibit explaining the architecture and applications for its award-winning Programmable System-on-Chip(TM) (PSoC(TM)) mixed-signal array with onboard microcontroller A single chip that contains the processor (the CPU), non-volatile memory for the program (ROM or flash), volatile memory for input and output (RAM), a clock and an I/O control unit. .

About PSoC PSoC devices are high-performance, field-programmable, mixed-signal arrays with onboard microcontroller for high-volume embedded-control functions in consumer, industrial, office automation, telecom and automotive applications. PSoC devices integrate programmable blocks of analog and digital logic, a fast 8-bit microcontroller, 16 kbytes of flash memory, 256 bytes of SRAM See static RAM. SRAM - static random-access memory and a media access controller (MAC). All PSoC devices are dynamically reconfigurable, enabling designers to create new system functions on-the-fly. Reusing the same silicon for different functions on different clock cycles, designers can achieve more than 120% utilization of the die in many cases. The PSoC LIN Bus reference design for automotive applications is a good example. The same transistors are reused four times to support the different LIN communication modes; in doing so, these transistors consume less than 10 percent of PSoC hardware resources and less than 10 percent of the PSoC MCU (1) (MicroController Unit) A computer on a single chip. See microcontroller. (2) (Multipoint Control Unit) A device that is used to moderate a videoconference of three or more end points (users at computers or groups of users cycles. To further shorten design cycles, the PSoC family includes pre-programmed, specialized versions for lighting, energy, motor control, communications, automotive and battery applications. Each family member comes with a reference design and extensive application notes to speed application development.

About Cypress Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE:CY) is Connecting From Last Mile to First Mile(TM) with high-performance solutions for personal, network access, enterprise, metro switch, and core communications-system applications. Cypress Connects(TM) using wireless, wireline, digital, and optical transmission standards, including 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. , Fibre Channel, SONET/SDH, Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. , and DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing . Leveraging its process and system-level expertise, Cypress makes industry-leading physical layer devices, framers, and network search engines, along with a broad portfolio of high-bandwidth memories, timing technology solutions, and reprogrammable mixed-signal arrays.
