Cypress Highlights USB 2.0 Portfolio At Fall Comdex

11/14/2002 - Cypress Semiconductor will feature a number of live demonstrations showcasing its latest USB solutions at the Comdex trade show to be held on November 18-22 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Underscoring its leadership in USB, Cypress will display a variety of USB 2.0 end-user solutions, including high- performance mass storage and video applications.

Live demonstrations of the following USB-IF certified products will be featured in the Cypress booth:

  • Cypress’s USB 2.0 ATA/ATAPI bridge solutions enable high-speed connectivity to mass-storage devices. With speeds of up to 480 Mbits/sec, they are the optimum solution for applications that demand greater bandwidth such as hard drives, CD-ROM/R/RW, DVD-ROM/RAM/RW, Zip, various flash memory standards and video and audio streaming.
  • Cypress’s EZ-USB® FX2TM is the world’s first USB 2.0 integrated peripheral controller. In addition to 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 faster time-to-market.
  • Cypress’s TetraHubTM device is the only USB 2.0 hub controller to integrate four transaction translators allowing connected peripherals – low-speed (1.5 Mbps), full-speed (12 Mbps), and high-speed (480 Mbps) – the highest performance possible in a USB-enabled system. This device is a fixed-function solution that requires no firmware intervention, reducing design risk and development time. The TetraHub device can also be used as a high-bandwidth controller in standalone hubs, monitor hubs, port replicators and docking stations.
