Cypress MicroSystems (CMS) markets high-performance, field Programmable System-on-Chip (PSoC™) integrated M8 micro-based solutions. CMS believes the new generation of re-configurable PSoC™ controllers will become the dominate system architecture for the majority of micro-based designs. The company's first PSoC™ MCU product line is the world's leading high-speed, full-featured 8-bit PSoC™ controller loaded with on-board analog and competitively priced for high-volume applications. By employing advanced lithography and flash-based programming technology, CMS offers a performance level that will allow an 8-bit PSoC™ to serve many applications previously requiring more complex and expensive 16- or 32-bit devices. Advanced, easy-to-use PSoC™ Designer development tools combined with a high-degree of user programmability will allow customers to develop cost-effective programmable-systems-on-a-chip in a fraction of the time of conventional ASIC solutions.
