Acquired by Infineon, Cypress Semiconductor remains a well‑established semiconductor supplier for embedded and industrial hardware designs. Its mainstream product portfolio includes FRAM ferroelectric memory, high‑speed USB controllers, and PSoC programmable system‑on‑chip. These ICs are widely adopted in industrial control, data loggers, image acquisition, test instruments, and IoT end‑node devices.
Compared with conventional EEPROM and Flash memory, Cypress FRAM delivers superior write‑cycle endurance. The EZ‑USB series serves as a mainstream solution for USB bridging and FPGA peripheral interfaces. PSoC integrates configurable analog and digital peripherals to reduce external component count for hardware designers. This article categorizes popular Cypress part numbers for quick reference by hardware and firmware engineers.
FRAM features near‑unlimited write endurance, fast write speed, low power consumption, and reliable non‑volatile data retention. It is ideal for devices that frequently store configuration parameters and event logs during power‑off cycles, such as industrial instruments and sensor nodes.
