Cypress Demonstrating New
Version of Easy-to-Use PSoC®
Creator™Software that Streamlines
Designs and Now Supports Flexible
Microcontroller Families from
Spansion Merger
For designers of connected devices
from smart home appliances
to wearable fitness trackers to
factory automation equipment, the
interconnectivity of the Internet of
Things (IoT) is largely outweighed
by the specific application
requirements they must address.
Embedded solutions provider
Cypress Semiconductor Corp.
(Nasdaq: CY) is addressing the
diversity of the IoT, and common
design concerns such as time to
market and power consumption,
with its expanded portfolio of
ARM®-Cortex®-M-based PSoC®
programmable system-on-chip
devices, microcontrollers (MCUs)
and Bluetooth LowEnergy solutions.
Since its merger with Spansion in
March2015, Cypress has introduced
more than 180 new devices in its
PSoC 4 family and more than 150
new devices in the FM4 and FM0+
Flexible Microcontroller families
originally developed by Spansion.
Here at the Embedded World 2016
exhibition, Cypress has continued
this expansion with the launch of
its PSoC 4 S-Series devices for
Industrial Internet systems,wearable
electronics, home appliances
and other consumer applications.
Additionally at Embedded World,
Cypress is demonstrating a new
version of its easy-to-use PSoC
Creator™ Integrated Design
Environment (IDE) that now
supports its FM families, starting
with the FM0+ devices. PSoC
Creator simplifies system design
and accelerates time-to-market by
enabling concurrent hardware and
firmware design. More information
on Cypress’s PSoC 4 and FM
families can be found at http://www.

Cypress is demonstrating its
portfolio of PSoC, MCU, Bluetooth
Low Energy, memory and energy-
harvesting Power Management IC
(PMIC) solutions for the IoT, along
with its automotive and USB-C
solutions, at Embedded World in
booth number 148, located in Hall
4A, at the Nuremberg Messe in
Germany.
Recently announced products and
technologies from Cypress that
address a diverse range of IoT
applications include:
PSoC 4 L-Series, the world’s most
flexible one-chip ARM Cortex-M0
solution for smart home appliances
and industrial internet applications
Three series of FM4 products that
provide fast, secure and reliable
communication interfaces for
factory automation and smart home
appliance applications
Two series of FM0+ products deliver
ultra-low power consumption for
portable IoT applications
EZ-BLE™ PSoC, the industry’s
most integrated Bluetooth Low
Energy module, and multiple other
new, fully-certified modules that
reduce time-to-market
PSoC 4 BLE and PRoC™ BLE
Programmable Radio-on-Chip
solutions fully qualified for the
Bluetooth 4.2 standard and its
features that improve data rate,
privacy and security for IoT
applications
A demonstration of a light-powered
IoT beacon solution based on
Cypress’s energy harvesting PMIC
and EZ-BLE PRoC module that
eliminates the need to replace
batteries, significantly reducing
maintenance costs
A Bluetooth Smart Mesh
demonstration showing an
implementation for smart home
lighting applications.

Infineon Security and RF
Components support
Samsung Galaxy S7 and
Galaxy A smartphone series
Where smartphone manufacturers
differentiate their offers in a highly
competitive market through either
security or performance, Samsung
chooses both. The world market
leader builds its new Samsung
Galaxy S7 and Galaxy A devices
with security and RF (radio
frequency) components from
Infineon Technologies AG (FSE:
IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY).
Smartphone owners benefit from low
noise amplifiers (LNA) to antenna
tuners and RF switches enhancing
the data rate and reducing power
