Cypress Reports Second-Quarter 2014 Results

SECOND-QUARTER 2014 HIGHLIGHTS

+ Cypress announced a strategic partnership with Norway-based IDEX ASA to develop fingerprint-recognition solutions. Under terms of the agreement, Cypress will offer fingerprint solutions based on IDEX technology alongside its TrueTouch touchscreen solutions, CapSense® touch-sensing controllers and trackpad solutions. The combination will enable the design of sleek user interfaces with integrated personal security for smartphones, tablets, wearables and identity cards.

+ United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) licensed Cypress's SONOS (Silicon Oxide Nitride Oxide Silicon) embedded flash memory intellectual property (IP) for its 55-nanometer process technology. This license means that much of our industry will adopt Cypress's SONOS as their next-generation embedded-flash foundry technology.

+ Cypress introduced the PSoC® 4000 family, which offers low-cost 32-bit ARM®-based system-on-chip solutions for quick upgrades of embedded systems using legacy 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers. It also delivers Cypress's industry-leading CapSense technology to cost-sensitive, high-volume applications. The PSoC 4000 family comes with a revolutionary CY8CKIT-049 Prototyping Kit, which sells for only $4, introducing designers of products for the Internet of Things to our low-cost PSoC 4 product family.

+ A teardown by analytics firm TechInsights found that the Cypress TrueTouch Gen5 TMA545 controller drives the touchscreen of the new Samsung Gear Live smartwatch. The smartwatch features the Gen5 controller's best-in-class water-rejection capability and a wake-on-touch mode that helps prolong battery life.

+ Huawei designed Cypress's TrueTouch Gen4 capacitive touchscreen controllers into five smartphone models, including the Honor 3X and 3C and the Ascend G716, G730 and G740.

+ ZTE selected Cypress's TrueTouch Gen5 TMA568 touchscreen controller to drive the 6.44-inch display in its nubia X6 superphone, whose new feature is to switch automatically between glove- and finger-tracking modes.

+ Cypress introduced its fourth-generation, 2.4-GHz WirelessUSB™ radio-on-a-chip transceiver, WirelessUSB NX. The transceiver features ultra-low power consumption with a fast, 2-Mbps data rate, which limits the time and power spent transmitting and receiving, enabling three years of battery life for wireless mice, keyboards, trackpads and remote controls.

+ intelliPaper designed Cypress's enCoRe™ V USB microcontroller into its line of intelligent paper products. The products can be folded to provide a standard USB thumb drive with data stored on a chip embedded in the paper. Intelligent paper products include smart business cards with digital contact info and smart product brochures with additional information.

+ Oneking Technologies of Shenzhen, China selected Cypress's EZ-USB® FX3™ controller for its new high-definition (HD) color video conference camera. The HD820-SN6300 camera uses the USB 3.0 controller's 5-Gbps bandwidth to stream HD video without compression, which degrades image quality.

+ EverPro Technologies and Cypress successfully completed testing of EverPro's USB 3.0 active optical cable. The cable uses Cypress FX3 and CX3™ controllers to transfer data at 5 Gbps over a distance of up to 100 meters -- a requirement for many machine vision and industrial camera applications.

+ Cypress introduced the world's first 16Mb fast asynchronous SRAM with on-chip Error-Correcting Code (ECC). On-chip ECC makes this new SRAM 1,000 times more reliable than standard SRAMs, enabling designers to eliminate additional error correction chips. The SRAM is the first in a new family of ECC-enabled asynchronous SRAMs.

+ Cypress expanded its portfolio of nonvolatile Static Random Access Memories (nvSRAMs) with a new 16Mb family, which is the industry's fastest.

+ Cypress signed agreements with five new distribution partners in Asia: Dadoutek, Sekorm and Lierda in China, and HB Corporation and STC Corporation in Korea. These distributors will sell Cypress's entire product line and expand the reach of its sales organization with 65 new distributor branches in the region.
