+ Cypress and Spansion announced a definitive agreement to merge in an all-stock, tax-free transaction valued at approximately $4 billion. The merger is expected to achieve more than $135 million in cost synergies on an annualized basis over three years and to be accretive to non-GAAP earnings within the first full year after the transaction closes. The combined company will continue to pay $0.11 per share in quarterly dividends to shareholders.
+ Cypress introduced two highly integrated, single-chip Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) solutions that simplify the design of low-power, sensor-based systems for the Internet of Things (IoT) and other applications. The new PSoC® 4 BLE Programmable System-on-Chip delivers unprecedented ease of use and integration to applications for the IoT, home automation, healthcare equipment, sports and fitness monitors, and other wearable devices. The PRoC BLE Programmable Radio-on-Chip provides a cost-effective, turnkey solution for wireless human interface devices, remote controls and applications that require wireless connectivity.
+ Cypress announced the qualification of its BLE solutions under the Bluetooth 4.1 specification, which is designed to coexist with faster 4G cellular technologies, such as LTE, and to deliver better connections and data transfer. The qualification further simplifies customer Bluetooth Low Energy designs.
+ Cypress introduced its TrueTouch® Gen5 TMA568 capacitive touchscreen controller for large-screen smartphones, tablets and e-readers with advanced features: gloved-finger tracking, 1-mm passive stylus support and hover functionality that enlarges touchscreen content to improve ease of use.
+ Casio selected Cypress's TrueTouch capacitive touchscreen controller and low-power SRAM products for its wearable EX-FR10 camera. TrueTouch provides best-in-class waterproofing, while MoBL® (More Battery Life) asynchronous SRAMs enable fast throughput and fluid image buffering.
+ Yota Devices announced production of its next-generation YotaPhone with Cypress's TrueTouch Gen5 touchscreen controllers in the smartphone's two displays. The premium Android phone uses the TMA568 controller for advanced multitouch functionality in its standard display and the TMA545 controller for its "electronic paper" display.
+ iConnectivity, a leading developer of digital audio interfaces for musicians, is using Cypress's CapSense® MBR3 mechanical button replacement solution in its next-generation iConnectAUDIO4+ audio interface system. The easy-to-use MBR3 solution enables the implementation of a dynamic, reliable touch-sensing user interface for this system.
+ Cypress began sampling its EZ-USB® HX3 hub controller in a 36-mm2 ball grid array (BGA) package. The new package makes the hub controller the industry's smallest, saving board space in Ultrabook devices, tablets and other mobile and consumer devices.
+ Cypress and Icron Technologies successfully completed interoperability testing between Cypress's EZ-USB FX3 USB 3.0 peripheral controller and the EZ-USB CX3 camera controller and Icron's USB 3.0 Spectra 3001-15 active copper extension cable. The Icron cable extends USB 3.0 performance to 15 meters and enables the Cypress controllers to address a broader range of machine vision and industrial applications.
+ Cypress's RadStop radiation-hardened 72-Mb QDR-II+ SRAMs and 4-Mbit fast asynchronous SRAMs have met the Qualified Manufacturers List Class V and Class Q standards -- the highest quality and reliability standards for aerospace-grade ICs in satellites and other applications.
+ United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) licensed Cypress's SONOS (Silicon Oxide Nitride Oxide Silicon) embedded flash memory intellectual property (IP) for its 40-nanometer process technology. UMC had licensed Cypress's 55-nanometer SONOS IP in 2014. This ongoing collaboration strengthens the position of SONOS as the next-generation embedded-flash solution of choice for foundries.
