Shares of Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:CY), declined -1.20% to $9.85, during its last trading session.
Cypress Semiconductor Corp., declared a new series of the industry’s most compact, highly integrated power administration ICs (PMICs) that regulate power supply voltage from a vehicle’s battery for automotive applications counting Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), body control modules and instrument cluster systems. The Cypress S6BP20x series of automotive PMICs leverages a unique one-channel, buck-boost DC/DC converter to enable Electronic Control Unit (ECU) power administration solutions to safely manage extreme battery voltage fluctuations. The PMICs enable small form factor ECU power administration solutions that use only one tiny ceramic capacitor instead of the two bulky, expensive electrolytic capacitors required by competitive PMICs.
Cypress also added the S6BP50x PMIC series for automotive instrument cluster systems to its portfolio. The 3-channel output PMICs integrate a buck controller, a buck converter and a boost converter, together with a Spread Spectrum Clock Generator (SSCG), all in a single chip. Both new primary PMIC series complement Cypress’s secondary power source S6BP40x series, in addition to Cypress’s Traveo™ automotive microcontroller (MCU) family. The Cypress automotive PMICs carry AEC-Q100 automotive qualification.
“Cypress continues to add innovative products such as these new power administration ICs to strengthen our broad portfolio for automotive applications,” said Kiyoe Nagaya, vice president of the Analog Business Unit at Cypress. “Our automotive products adhere to the most stringent standards and offer proven reliability, with more than 60 million automotive PMIC units shipped already.”
