On Tuesday, Shares of Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:CY), lost -2.26% to $10.37.
Cypress Semiconductor Corp., introduced a 256Mb NOR Flash memory with a Quad Serial Peripheral Interface (Quad SPI). The new Cypress FL-L NOR Flash device combines the Quad SPI with a 4KB uniform sector size to deliver the industry’s highest read bandwidth and fastest program time while enabling a small PCB layout. Using small, uniform physical memory sectors allows the device to optimally store program code and parametric data. The device is ideal for high-performance applications, such as video game consoles, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), automotive instrument clusters and infotainment systems, networking equipment and set-top boxes.
High-performance system designs require the highest read bandwidth for program execution, a small low-pin-count package and the fastest program and sector erase times. Cypress’s 256Mb FL-L Quad SPI NOR Flash memory leverages a 66-MHz Double Data Rate (DDR) mode to deliver read bandwidth of 66 MBps and enable the fastest program execution for high-performance systems. The device is available in small 48-mm2 packages that save board space and simplify layout. The device provides a 0.30-ms program time per 256 bytes, increasing manufacturing throughput, and a 50-ms sector erase time, enabling new data to be written quickly. The memories provide low standby current and a deep-power-down mode that extends battery life for battery powered applications. The FL-L NOR Flash family offers AEC-Q100 automotive qualification and supports an extended temperature range of -40 to +125 degrees C.
“Designers of high-performance systems require fast, low-pin-count Quad SPI NOR Flash memories, and our newest FL-L device is tailor-made to deliver the bandwidth and small form factor for these applications,” said Anup Sidhu, Director of SPI Product Marketing at Cypress. “This new device is another example of Cypress’s commitment to expand our market-leading NOR Flash portfolio of high-performance memories for embedded systems.”
Cypress Semiconductor Corporation provides mixed-signal programmable solutions, semiconductor memories, and integrated semiconductor solutions worldwide. The company’s Memory Products division designs and manufactures static random access memory (SRAM) products and nonvolatile RAMs used to store and retrieve data in networking, wireless infrastructure and handsets, computation, consumer, automotive, industrial, and other electronic systems; and general-purpose programmable clocks.
Shares of American Airlines Group Inc (NASDAQ:AAL), declined -0.36% to $44.49, during its last trading session.
American Airlines will add new nonstop service between its trans-Pacific gateway hub at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Auckland Airport (AKL) in June 2016, pending regulatory approvals. The route to Auckland provides American’s customers direct access to a new destination and further strengthens the airline’s joint business with Qantas Airways. American has added six new trans-Pacific routes over the last three years, nearly doubling its presence in the region.
“Auckland is a thriving destination for business and leisure travelers, and it adds to the growing strength of our global network across the Pacific,” said Doug Parker, American’s chairman and CEO. “We’ve seen a strong improvement for demand from U.S. customers who need more nonstop access to New Zealand. We are excited to be the first U.S. carrier to offer a truly premium experience between Los Angeles and Auckland.”
Qantas Group Chief Executive Officer, Alan Joyce, said the new Los Angeles-Auckland service is another example of the customer benefits of the expanded Qantas American Airlines joint business. “American Airlines is one of our most important partners, and our joint business allows both airlines to provide an improved network and better service for customers across the Pacific.
American Airlines Group Inc., through its auxiliaries, operates in the airline industry. As of December 31, 2014, the company operated 983 mainline jets, in addition to 566 regional aircrafts through regional airline auxiliaries and third-party regional carriers.
