New Cypress Website Helps Designers To Reduce Electro-Magnetic Interference With Spread Spectrum Timing Solutions

Informative, Easily-Navigated Resource at www.cypress.com/go/EMI
Showcases Industry-Leading Portfolio, Offers Design Resources for
Combating EMI
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NYSE:CY) today introduced a new
website focused on optimized solutions for reducing Electro-Magnetic
Interference (EMI). The new EMI Reduction Timing Solutions website
presents information on Cypress's industry-leading portfolio of spread
spectrum timing solutions, and how they can be used to effectively
address EMI. The website can be accessed at www.cypress.com/go/EMI.

The new EMI Reduction Timing Solutions website provides an
intuitive navigation scheme with five categories: Technology,
Solutions, Products, Support, and News & Events. Users are only a
single click away from accessing timing product information, direct
links to the Cypress store, samples requests, software downloads,
online training, and local sales contacts. The website offers user
interface features such as dynamic drop-down menus that provide a
consistent and efficient navigation experience. It also provides rich
flash animations that graphically demonstrate the value of spread
spectrum timing solutions.

"More and more customers are choosing spread spectrum timing
solutions instead of conventional suppression and containment
techniques for reducing EMI," said Travis Linton, product marketing
manager for Cypress's Timing Solutions products. "This new website
clearly communicates the value of spread spectrum timing solutions in
combating EMI, and helps designers to quickly and efficiently
implement those solutions in their systems."

About EMI Reduction Through Spread Spectrum Timing Solutions

The radiation of electromagnetic energy is a common concern for
designers of electronic devices. When higher clock frequencies are
used, the likelihood of violating EMI standards increases. The
traditional method for reducing radiated emissions is to filter or
contain the offending signals, but this can impact system cost and
board space. Spread spectrum timing solutions reduce EMI peaks by
spreading the energy from a clock across a wider frequency band, and
can be implemented with fewer or no additional suppression and
containment components. Spread spectrum timing solutions allow
modulation to be maintained as clock signals are propagated to their
destinations, enabling peak EMI reductions of 2 dB to 20 dB.
