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). Corp. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : CY), the industry leader in 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. , today announced that Electronic Products magazine has given its 2003 "Product of the Year" award to Cypress's WirelessUSB(TM) LS 2.4 GHz radio-system-on-a-chip. The product will be formally recognized in the magazine's January issue. This award is the third received by Cypress WirelessUSB products this year. In April, WirelessUSB earned EDN EDN Endothelin EDN Eosinophil-Derived Neurotoxin EDN European Documentary Network (Denmark) EDN Earth Day Network EDN Electrodesiccation EDN Electrical Design News (periodical) magazine's "Innovation of the Year" award and in June it also won the coveted cov·et v. cov·et·ed, cov·et·ing, cov·ets v.tr. 1. To feel blameworthy desire for (that which is another's). See Synonyms at envy. 2. To wish for longingly. See Synonyms at desire. "Electron d'Or" award from Electronique, the leading electronics monthly magazine in France. "We are honored that the industry recognizes the unique value that WirelessUSB brings to wireless systems designers who must make the switch to 2.4 GHz but don't need the complexity of network-based alternatives like Bluetooth and Zigbee," said Rich Kapusta, director of wireless products marketing at Cypress. For the past 43 years, Electronic Products magazine (www.electronicproducts.com) has reported on important developments in products and product technology. Its editorial, which includes industry trends, product highlights and updates and new product announcements, serves as a key information source for 123,000 engineers and managers each month. The "Product of the Year" award is given to a handful of companies to recognize products for their innovative approach to solving key problems while minimizing end-user costs. Priced starting under $2.00, WirelessUSB LS offers manufacturers and end-users of wireless PC human interface devices (HIDs), video game console A specialized desktop computer used to play video games. The three most popular game consoles are Sony's PlayStation 3 (PS3), Nintendo's GameCube and Microsoft's Xbox. Game software is available on CDs or DVDs, although earlier game machines used cartridges containing read only memory peripherals and remote controls the best combination of performance and cost versus competing wireless technologies. It enables communication at distances of up to 10 meters, with an average latency of less than four milliseconds and a transmission rate of 62.5 kbps. Featuring a highly integrated radio transceiver (TRANSmitter reCEIVER) An electronic device or circuit that transmits and receives analog or digital signals. It comes in many forms; for example, a transponder on a satellite, a network adapter in the computer or the circuits in a cellphone. plus digital baseband on a single chip, the technology enables designers to significantly decrease development time, component count and system cost while improving operating range, power-consumption and latency. The product, now in full production, is offered as both a transceiver (CYWUSB6934) and transmit-only device (CYWUSB6932). Cypress also offers a WirelessUSB development kit (CY3632), priced at $750.
