Nonvolatile SRAMs expand to 8Mbit
New 2 and 8Mbit nvSRAMs feature access times as low as 20ns, infinite read, write and recall cycles, and 20-year data retention.
CapSense-based "button" and slider controls are more reliable than their mechanical counterparts because they are not prone to the environmental wear-and-tear that affects exposed buttons and switches.
The 100 design wins have been achieved since Cypress introduced the CapSense solution in May 2005.
CapSense designs have been secured across the globe in a variety of applications.
"CapSense is a high impact solution for our customers," said George Saul, vice president of Cypress's PSoC Business Unit.
"Our customers report faster design cycles with fewer components, more flexibility, and market-differentiating styling options, all for an economical price".
