Cypress Highlights Its USB 2.0 Solutions at COMDEX Fall 2001
COMDEX®, Booth No. L1631-17USB Las Vegas Convention Center Las Vegas, Nevada, November 12-16, 2001
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 31, 2001--
Cypress Semiconductor (NYSE:CY - news) today announced that it will
exhibit at the 2001 Fall COMDEX® show, to be held in Las Vegas,
Nevada from November 12 through November 16, 2001. Cypress will be in
the USB Pavilion, booth No. L1631-17USB on level one of the North Hall
in the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC).
The company will feature live demonstrations of its USB solutions:
- The SL811HS USB host/peripheral controller represents USB
On-the-Go (OTG). This is Cypress's first-to-market embedded
host/peripheral controller which offers a dual-port defined as
a single port that functions as either host or peripheral.
This port is now an important element of USB OTG.
- Cypress's EZ-USB FX2(TM) is the world's first USB 2.0
integrated peripheral controller. It includes an 8051
processor, a serial interface engine (SIE), a USB transceiver,
on-chip RAM and FIFO, and a general programmable interface.
The FX2 is a fully-integrated solution, requiring little board
space and providing fast time-to-market. This device is 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's EZ-USB SX2(TM) intelligent serial interface engine
(SIE) provides a 480-Mbps USB 2.0 connection to a peripheral
containing a microcontroller. It is the only low-cost solution
that does not drain the controller's resources. The
"intelligent" SIE makes it easy to add high-speed USB to many
peripheral applications, including scanners, printers,
networking devices, and digital video cameras.
