Cypress's New EZ-USB FX2LP Low Power USB 2.0 Controller Earns USB-IF Certification
Industry's Smallest, Most Power-Efficient High-Speed Controller
Enables Streaming Video, Mass Storage and Personal Media Players
to Be Powered by the USB Bus
SAN JOSE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Sept. 15, 2004—
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NYSE:CY), the market leader in USB,
today announced that its new EZ-USB(TM) FX2LP (CY7C68013A) low power,
programmable USB 2.0 controller has been certified by the USB
Implementers' Forum (USB-IF) and is now featured on its Integrator's
list available at http://www.usb.org. Samples of the product
demonstrated flawless performance and interoperability with a broad
range of other USB devices at a recent USB-IF Compliance Workshop
(a.k.a. "Plugfest") sponsored by the non-profit trade group.
EZ-USB FX2LP is the industry's smallest, most power-efficient,
high-speed USB 2.0 controller. It takes advantage of a new advanced
process technology developed for USB devices by Cypress to slash power
consumption by nearly 50 percent versus leading competitors. As a
result, USB peripherals using the EZ-USB FX2LP controller -- including
mass storage devices and personal media players -- are able to operate
off of the power of the USB bus.
Featuring a data rate of 480 Mbps, 16 Kbytes of on-chip memory,
and up to 40 programmable I/Os, Cypress's EZ-USB FX2LP solution
provides world-class design flexibility. There are also several
package options, including a space-saving 8mm x 8mm QFN package, ideal
for use in small form-factor mobile applications. A photo of Cypress's

priced from $4.45 in 10,000-unit quantities.
