Update and Manage Location Information Across the Web

Yahoo! Launches Fire Eagle

New Platform Enables Users to Easily Update and Manage Their Location Information Across the Web

SUNNYVALE, Calif.-- August 12, 2008 --Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO), a leading global Internet company, today announced the general availability of Fire Eagle (http://fireeagle.yahoo.net), an open platform that helps users take their location to the Web while giving them the ability to easily control how and where their location data is shared.

Fire Eagle gives users a place to store and manage information about their location, and offers developers clear protocols for updating or accessing that information. Because it's open, any networked service can use Fire Eagle to respond to a user's location - to help them find their friends, annotate the world or find nearby services or local information.

"Fire Eagle is about making everything on the Internet more useful, fun or interesting by adding the element of location," said Tom Coates, head of product at Yahoo! Brickhouse. "We're here to help people take their location to the Web by giving them the ability to control how much detail about their location they want to share and which applications they want to share it with."

Fire Eagle makes it much easier for both users and developers to create Internet experiences that are geo-aware:

    * For users, Fire Eagle acts as a simple interface for managing location information and deciding how - and with whom - to share it. Users can authorize Web, mobile or desktop applications to update their location automatically, or they can do it themselves manually on the Fire Eagle Web or mobile sites. Then they can decide how much of that information to share with their favorite services. At any time they can hide themselves, change their sharing preferences or delete any of their stored information.

    * For developers, Fire Eagle takes away much of the costly and complicated heavy-lifting of developing geo-aware applications. Developers can focus on how they can use location in their services without having to build the infrastructure to work out where their users are. Fire Eagle - combined with Yahoo!'s full suite of geo technologies - now makes it practical for any service to become location-aware easily and inexpensively.

Fire Eagle was built at Yahoo! Brickhouse, a home for start-up like projects inside Yahoo where small teams seize on new ideas and create products around them. Since its private beta launch in March of this year, Fire Eagle has been integrated into over fifty live applications, including Dopplr, Pownce, Movable Type, and Outside.in, through the platform's well-received API.

"The combination of Outside.in's new Radar feature and Fire Eagle's amazingly simple and powerful API means that our users can now see all the news and buzz within 1,000 feet of their current location, updated from any number of applications and devices," said Steven Johnson, co-founder of Outside.in.

"Fire Eagle allowed us to easily add location data to Pownce using their simple API," Leah Culver, co-founder, Pownce. "Pownce users can now say where they are and geotag their notes which adds a new dimension to the service."

Services built on Fire Eagle during the private beta period include:

    * Brightkite: Brightkite is a location based social network that allows users to track their friends' locations and meet new people in their area.

    * Dash: Dash is a two-way, Internet-connected GPS navigation system offering an innovative solution to traffic monitoring.

International Phone Service Comes To Beijing and Hong Kong

2008-08-05T09:27:00.000-05:00

Beijing and Hong Kong Get Super-Cheap International Phone Service with Rebtel

Rebtel expands low-cost and free interational mobile phone service to Beijing and Hong Kong.

Stockholm, Sweden - April 23 -- First Shanghai. Now Beijing and Hong Kong. In just three months, Rebtel http://www.rebtel.com, the people's global communications company, has delivered on its promise to expand low-cost and free international calling to more Chinese cities.

Starting today, Beijing and Hong Kong residents can use their mobile phones to call any phone, anywhere in the world for just pennies per minute, and make free calls to friends, family, and work colleagues in more than 40 countries.

Using Rebtel Direct, calls from Beijing and Hong Kong to the U.S. and Canada, for example, cost less than 2¢ per minute whether you're calling a landline or mobile phone. By comparison, the same calls on China Mobile will cost $1.16 per minute.

"But if you think Rebtel Direct rates are still too expensive you can use our Smart Call system and make that same calls for free," said Hjalmar Winbladh, Rebtel's co-founder and CEO. "With Rebtel you can now call friends and family in more than 40 countries around the world from Beijing or Hong Kong for nothing more than the cost of calling around the corner."

A Rebtel account can be set up in just a minute or two. The service works with any mobile phone just the way it is, and is registered and authorized to work with all Beijing and Hong Kong mobile operators.

There is no charge to set up a Rebtel account. All new comers get a free 10 minute call to test the service.

After an account is set up subscribers only pay for the minutes they use. Smart Calls between the counties served by Rebtel are always free and only one of the two people on a call must be a Rebtel subscriber.

"This is a great time to be expanding our service in China," said Winbladh. "Hong Kong and Beijing have been important international business centers throughout history, and now athletes and media from more than 200 countries around the world will soon converge on China for the Summer Olympics."

How Rebtel works
Rebtel gives people local phone numbers in their country to call their friends, family or work colleagues who live abroad.

By making all calls local, people can call each other as often as they like and talk as long as they want, for little or nothing more than the cost of the local calls.

That means, for example, Rebtel gives someone living in Beijing a local Beijing phone number that will connect them to their friend in New York. And Rebtel gives the person living in New York a local New York phone number to call their friend in Beijing.

Getting started is fast and easy:
1. Go to http://www.rebtel.com and enter your mobile number and your friend's mobile number.
2. Rebtel creates local numbers and sends them in text messages (SMS) to each phone.
3. Save the number in your phone's address book and use it any time to call your friend abroad.

2008-07-11T20:35:00.000-05:00

AT&T Kicks Off Sales of iPhone 3G Phone

Online Resources Available to Help Customers Prepare for Purchase

Variety of Attractive Plans Combine Voice and Unlimited Data

Dallas, Texas, July 11, 2008 - AT&T begins selling iPhone 3G today in its retail stores at 8 a.m. local time across the United States, along with a variety of attractive monthly plans that combine voice and unlimited data use. iPhone 3G uses the nation's fastest 3G wireless network, which reaches 300 major metropolitan areas.

Pricing and Eligibility
AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) has announced that AT&T is making it easy for customers to prepare for their iPhone 3G purchase by posting "Get iReady" tips and frequently asked questions at www.att.com/iphone. The site also includes a link for customers to check their upgrade eligibility and other wireless account information.

iPhone 3G phones will be available for $199 for the 8GB model and $299 for the 16GB model. These prices require two-year contracts and are available to the following customers:

    * iPhone customers who purchased before July 11*
    * Customers activating a new line with AT&T
    * Current AT&T customers who are eligible, at the time of purchase, for an upgrade discount

Current customers who are not eligible for an upgrade discount can purchase iPhone 3G for $399 for the 8GB model or $499 for the 16GB model. Both options require a new two-year service agreement. Current customers may also choose to wait until they become eligible for an upgrade discount. Eligibility is generally determined by amount of time remaining on a current contract and payment history.

Current AT&T customers who are upgrading to iPhone 3G will pay an $18 upgrade fee and new AT&T customers will pay the standard $36 activation fee.

Voice, Data and Text Messaging Plans
AT&T brings iPhone 3G customers the best coverage on the globe and the largest mobile-to-mobile calling community with unlimited calling to AT&T's 71.4 million wireless customers. iPhone 3G customers can choose from four individual AT&T Nation plans, which bundle voice and unlimited data (e-mail and Web browsing).

    * AT&T NationSM Unlimited: Includes unlimited Anytime Minutes for $129.99 a month.
    * AT&T Nation 1350: Includes 1350 Anytime Minutes and unlimited Night & Weekend Minutes for $109.99 a month.
    * AT&T Nation 900: Includes 900 Anytime Minutes and unlimited Night & Weekend Minutes for $89.99 a month.
    * AT&T Nation 450: Includes 450 Anytime Minutes and 5,000 Night & Weekend Minutes for $69.99 a month.

All AT&T Nation and AT&T FamilyTalk® plans for iPhone 3G include nationwide long distance and roaming, Visual Voicemail, Rollover®, unlimited Mobile to Mobile calling, Call Forwarding, Call Waiting, Three-Way Calling and Caller ID.

AT&T will offer FamilyTalk plans, with bundled voice and unlimited data, starting as low as $129.99 a month for two iPhone 3G lines. Up to three additional iPhone lines can be added for $39.99 each.

Unlimited text messaging can be added for an additional $20 ($30 for FamilyTalk plans of up to five lines); $15 (1,500 messages), or $5 (200 messages).

Additional Tips for Consumers
New AT&T customers who wish to port or retain their phone number from another wireless carrier should consider bringing a copy of a bill from their current service provider. Customers will be asked to provide account information as it appears on record with their current provider, including:

    * Account number
    * Name of the account holder
    * Account holder's SSN or Tax ID
    * Billing address
    * PIN or password (if applicable)

Customers who inherit an original iPhone from a friend or family member will need to request a SIM card from AT&T for the phone and activate the device using the in-home activation process through iTunes.

Customers should listen to voice mail messages on their current devices and write down any necessary information before purchasing iPhone 3G, because existing voice mail messages will be lost when upgrading to iPhone's Visual Voicemail feature.

AT&T will offer accessory bundle options specific to iPhone 3G in its retail stores.

iPhone 2.0 Software
All iPhone customers will benefit from the iPhone 2.0 software, which will be pre-loaded on all iPhone 3Gs and available as a free download for current iPhone customers. The new software will include numerous enhancements, such as business-class e-mail access via Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync; the iPhone Software Development Kit (SDK), which allows a business to easily create applications customized to its needs; and the App Store, available at www.apple.com/webapps, which offers a wide-range of applications - from games to business, education to entertainment and productivity to social networking.

For example, AT&T has developed YELLOWPAGES.COM Mobile for iPhone, which takes local mobile search to a new level by allowing users to discover businesses and local events based on their popularity among other iPhone users, get directions and access business reviews. Numerous enterprise applications are and will continue to be available on iPhone 3G, via the App Store, including Oracle's CRM, collaboration and e-mail applications.

iPhone for Business
Oracle and Kraft Foods Inc. are among the first business customers to deploy iPhone 3G. Business customers interested in iPhone 3G should contact an AT&T business sales representative or review their account information online to determine their eligibility for upgrade pricing. Corporate e-mail and other business applications require the Enterprise Data Plan for iPhone, which is $45 a month and bundled with an eligible voice plan. Small business customers may qualify for AT&T BusinessTalk, the industry's only shared plan specifically for small businesses. Additional details on iPhone business offerings are available at www.att.com/iphoneforbusiness.

*iPhone 3G is available to customers who are currently prepaid customers; however, there is no prepaid plan for iPhone 3G. Additionally, customers' accounts must be in good standing at the time of purchase.

AT&T Offers Nation's Fastest 3G Network

Nation's Fastest 3G Network Complements Best Global Coverage and Industry-Leading Portfolio of 3G Devices

Dallas, Texas, July 10, 2008 - For customers who want access to blazing-fast wireless broadband service, there's one clear choice among all U.S. carriers. AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) today announced it offers the nation's fastest third-generation (3G) network, according to data compiled by leading independent wireless research firms. AT&T's superfast 3G mobile broadband network is currently available in nearly 300 major U.S. metropolitan areas, with plans to expand to nearly 350 by the end of the year. In addition, AT&T has the best global coverage of any provider with roaming available in more than 200 countries, including more 3G roaming than any other carrier.

The fastest 3G network claim is based on a variety of tests conducted by leading third-party researchers, who downloaded a variety of applications and files to test throughput and overall performance. AT&T was the winner by a significant margin.

AT&T also announced it has started doubling the data capacity of its 3G markets, and nearly half of all cell sites will receive additional 3G capacity by the end of the year. The additional capacity will help accommodate the anticipated growth of 3G subscribers over the next several years. According to the Yankee Group, the number of 3G subscribers in the U.S. is expected to increase by 160 percent by 2012.

"We've invested billions of dollars in our 3G network, and now we can proudly claim it as the nation's fastest 3G network," said Ralph de la Vega, president and CEO of AT&T's wireless unit. "We will continue to expand our 3G network coverage into new areas, grow our lineup of industry-leading devices, such as iPhone 3G, and deliver compelling new 3G services to market like Video ShareSM. And to top it off, only AT&T offers the best global coverage. AT&T's ability to serve its wireless customers is unparalleled in our industry."

Between 2005 and 2008, AT&T will have invested more than $20 billion in network improvements and upgrades - an average of $5 billion a year. Much of this network investment has gone to build out the 3G broadband data network, which today is available in 296 major metropolitan markets. In addition, the company is deploying additional 3G coverage using 850 megahertz (MHz) spectrum that is now available from the recent sunset of its older TDMA network. This spectrum extends farther and better covers the interior of buildings.

In addition to the company's constant 3G expansion in the U.S., only AT&T can offer 3G data roaming in 60 countries, including Japan and South Korea, as well as voice calling in more than 200 countries. Nearly all devices in AT&T's current portfolio are "world phones" that can be used around the world.

Another advantage of AT&T's 3G network is the ability for customers to simultaneously use voice and data features. For example, customers can make a call while checking for a local address on YELLOWPAGES.COM.

Each identity has unique e-mail folders and an individual Address Book. Multiple identities make it easy for you to keep work e-mail separate from personal e-mail, and also to keep individual users' e-mail separated.

The Folders list contains e-mail folders, news servers, and newsgroups, and you can easily switch among them.

iPhone VoIP

Buzz has developed a line of Callback services which provides customers with three unique ways for making inexpensive calls around the world. No new equipment is needed; you use your existing telephone or mobile phone. It is as easy as using the web, sending an SMS message from your mobile phone or dialing a local access number to initiate a Callback call.

The new iPhone model went on sale in the Asia-Pacific region Friday, making its debut in Japan amid swirling smoke after a 30-second countdown chanted by hundreds of people lined up, some for days, snaking around the block.

The celebration at Japanese carrier Softbank Corp.'s store, which included a digital clock display ticking away over the entrance, was part of a global rollout in 22 nations of the 3G, or third-generation, wireless connecting Apple Inc.'s much-hyped cell phone, an upgrade of the model that went on sale last year in the United States and several other nations.

Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong were the other Asia-Pacific locations getting the new phone. In the United States, phones will be available at 8 a.m. in each time zone.

Buzz VoIP On the Move on Web

This Callback method allows you to use a web application to initiate a Callback call. By simply accessing Buzz web application, two phone numbers can be connected at a predetermined time. By simply accessing any internet launch point at www.12buzz.com/voip or end users panels to launch a call, the two phone numbers can be connected. You determine the two phone numbers you want to connect and specify the time for the call. Buzz will connect the two phone numbers at the predetermined time.

iPhone VoIP On the Move

Similar to web callback, WAP callback can be initiated from any web enabled mobile phone. Simply go to any WAP enable web page from your mobile devices and initiate a web callback call at www.mobi.12buzz.com. You determine the two phone numbers you want to connect and specify the time for the call. Buzz will connect the two phone numbers at the predetermined time.

iPhone SMS On the Move

Using only a mobile phone, this method allows you to call worldwide by simply sending an SMS or text message. You send a SMS message identifying the phone number you want to call. Buzz SMS On the Move calls back your customer and connects the call to the customer specified phone number.

iPhone ANI On the Move

Buzz's ANI On the Move method allows you to use a local access number to initiate the call. You must first register your phone number using the Buzz VoIP control panel or by using one of our many publicly accessed VIN or DID. The Callback call is initiated by dialing a local access number from any registered phone. You receive a call back from Buzz and the call is connected to any phone number you specify.

The limitations on iPhone VoIP over cellular is probably a requirement from AT&T and is part of their contract. However I would also expect the developers to quickly work their way around this following the lead of Buzz Technologies Inc. However expect to see Skype (NASDAQ:EBAY) and Gizmo Project among others to quickly get their clients out. VoIP on the iPhone would make a great product to use overseas to get around ridiculous roaming charges.

Telephony That Is Open Source Is A Disruptive Evolution

2008-07-01T13:23:00.000-05:00

Open Source Telephony - Is it Disruptive or an Evolution?

LONDON-- July 01, 2008 --Open source telephony is gradually gaining traction in Europe due its cost advantages over proprietary IP PBX and call centre products. Frost & Sullivan's analysis shows that the cost of an open source telephony 'line' can be up to 40 per cent less than an averagely priced IP PBX/Communication Manager. Total cost of ownership (TCO) comparison indicates a similar picture, with the cost benefits far greater in a call centre environment and in settings where the proportion of 'professional services fee' is higher.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.enterprise.frost.com), European Open Source Telephony Market, finds that the market shipped more than 74,000 lines in 2007 and estimates this to reach 1.95 million in 2013.

Frost & Sullivan studied a number of 500+ extension deployments in the open source telephony markets. Some of them included complex integration, while others were across numerous sites distributed across continents. These deployments are testimony of the capabilities of the technology and the expertise of the people supporting it.

"Our research finds that many of the open source telephony vendors have been enjoying a very high growth rate," notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Dorota Oviedo. "Several notable open source telephony vendors are investing in the European market and 2008 will be dominated by channel activities, especially channel recruitment and training. Established participants will be investing to expand their footprint mainly through distribution."

Nevertheless, mindshare and user acceptance of open source telephony is relatively low at present. Open source telephony vendors face a huge challenge in competing against participants that use proprietary technologies. These vendors benefit from their well-established (legacy) market position, brand image, strong distribution network and strong relationship with the customer base.

"The biggest challenge that the open source market has been facing and gradually overcoming is the issue of negative market perceptions," says Oviedo. "Open source projects are relatively young and thus, struggle with market concerns and perceptions of lack of support, scalability, functionality or reliability."

Open source telephony vendors should invest in building awareness through site visits, publishing success stories, and so on. Research suggests that once prospects overcome the initial reluctance and run a test system, success rate for open source telephony deployment is relatively high.

Upon receipt of the above information, an overview will be sent to you by e-mail.

European Open Source Telephony Market is part of the Enterprise Communications Growth Partnership Service programme, which also includes research in the following markets: business telephony, telephony endpoints, peer-to-peer telephony, mobile enterprise, and unified messaging. All research services included in subscriptions provide detailed market opportunities and industry trends that have been evaluated following extensive interviews with market participants. Interviews with the press are available.

Training Website Gives Designers Access PSoC and Programmable Solutions

2008-06-03T18:21:00.000-05:00

New Cypress Online Training Website Gives Designers Easy Access to Resources for PSoC® and Other Programmable Solutions

Short- and Long-Form Courses, Live and On-Demand Formats Allow Customers to Match Training with the Time They Have to Spend

SAN JOSE, Calif.-- June 03, 2008 --Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NYSE:CY) has launched a new online education resource for designers using the company's PSoC® Programmable System-on-Chip devices and other programmable solutions. The new training website includes a series of short, on-demand training modules that engineers can view at their convenience; archived and live in-depth webinars that offer a "deep dive" into selected technologies and applications; and registration for local, hands-on workshops. The resources can be accessed at www.cypress.com/go/training.

"As we continue to rapidly grow our customer base, there is great demand for more knowledge about our programmable solutions, especially from new users," said Geoff Charubin, vice president of Global Marketing and Applications for Cypress. "This new sites allows us to deliver high-quality technical training to thousands of designers around the world at the time and place that suits their busy schedules."

On-Demand Training Modules

The short, self-paced training modules are offered for designers with varying degrees of experience. Basic introduction courses, software design introduction and advanced mixed-signal design techniques are all presented. The workshops are available in English, Chinese and Japanese, and can be viewed online or downloaded to be watched offline at a later time.

Free Webinars

Cypress frequently presents in-depth, online webinars where viewers can see a deep dive into a particular design topic. Attendees can sign up to view these free seminars live to get real-time answers to questions at the new site. Cypress also archives the webinars to allow viewing at a later date, either online or offline.

Hands-on, in-person workshops

Cypress hosts local workshops around the globe presented by technical staff. These hands-on, full-day and half-day seminars offer designers the opportunity to jump-start their PSoC design skills by interacting directly with Cypress experts. There are four different workshops offered, including "Introduction to PSoC Design," "Intermediate PSoC Design," "CapSenseT Touch Sensing" and "EZ-ColorT HB LED Controllers."

PSoC -- Because Change Happens

PSoC devices employ a highly configurable system-on-chip architecture for embedded control design, offering a flash-based equivalent of a field-programmable ASIC without lead-time or NRE penalties. PSoC devices integrate configurable analog and digital circuits, controlled by an on-chip microcontroller, providing both enhanced design revision capability and component count savings. They include up to 32 Kbytes of Flash memory, 2 Kbytes of SRAM, an 8x8 multiplier with 32-bit accumulator, power and sleep monitoring circuits, and hardware I2C communications.

The flexible PSoC resources allow designers to future-proof their products by enabling firmware-based changes during design, validation, production, and in the field. The unique PSoC flexibility shortens design cycle time and allows for late-breaking feature enhancements. All PSoC devices are also dynamically reconfigurable, enabling designers to morph internal resources on-the-fly, utilizing fewer components to perform a given task.

Easy to use development tools enable designers to select configurable library elements for analog functions such as amplifiers, ADCs, DACs, filters and comparators and digital functions such as timers, counters, PWMs, USB, SPI and UARTs. The PSoC family's analog features include rail-to-rail inputs, programmable gain amplifiers and up to 14-bit ADCs with exceptionally low noise, input leakage and voltage offset.

A single PSoC device can integrate as many as 100 peripheral functions saving customers design time, board space and power consumption while improving system quality. Customers can save as much as $10 in system costs. Learn more about PSoC products at www.cypress.com/psoc and receive free online training at www.cypress.com/psoctraining.

Cell Phone Surveillance Product Uses SMS/GPRS/Bluetooth

2008-05-08T17:51:00.001-05:00

Neo-Call First Cell Phone Surveillance Product to Use a Combined SMS/GPRS/Bluetooth for Information Transfer

Technological upgrades make it less expensive for Neo-Call users to transfer information between cell phones. Contrary to recent press reports about competing software packages, Neo-Call were the first to market with telephone monitoring software and Neo-Call software is neither detectable as a virus nor has been labeled as malware.

Mulhouse, FR - September 28 -- Neo-Call, a software package enabling users to monitor calls on a predefined target phone, announces a major upgrade integrating Bluetooth technology: Neo-LOG PRO. Users can eliminate data transfer charges between phones using Bluetooth and can set transfers according to a regular schedule or on request.

Recent press reports chronicling the competing package Flexispy's arrival on the market have cast cell-phone surveillance software in a negative light. M. Malone, spokesperson for Neo-Call, says it's very clear his company's software, not the recently released Flexispy package, was the first on the market. He warns users not to let bad press keep them from evaluating the merits surveillance products for legitimate uses.

"We have been on the market for a number of years and we already released dozens of new softwares," Malone said. "Neo-Call is the world's first that offer free trial period for the purpose."

Neo-Call works in the following way. Users install the software on a target phone and set their telephone number a predefined monitoring number. Whenever someone places a call to or from the target phone, their telephone numbers, voice recordings and text messages can be heard and recorded by someone calling from the phone with the predefined number. The software also provides a means of determining where a cell phone is geographically at a given moment.

"Unlike other software packages, ours does not require a third party intermediary server during data transfer," Malone said.

Neo-Call can be used to check a wayward spouse's phone, see if your teenager is dealing drugs or has fallen in with the wrong crowd, track a stolen car, see if employees are sharing secrets and keep track of members of a sales force, or use as a mobile baby monitor. Users must be careful to know the laws regarding listening to and recording calls because they are responsible for following laws in all jurisdictions where they are using Neo-Call.

Until now, users have been forced to rely on SMS and GPRS transfer to glean data from the target phone. This method results in data transfer charges to the target telephone but not the recipient's telephone. Bluetooth is a much better option for data transfer because neither phone incurs charges. Furthermore, it means data can now be downloaded from prepaid cell phones that have run out of units. Using Bluetooth, all data, including voice recordings, SMS copies, and a call list, are stored on the target phone and readied for a regular daily transfer to the recipient's phone.

To order, visit the company's website at http://www.neo-call.com/index.php?env=-index:m3--1-4-s. Buyers can customize software on the fly and download a package with the selected components to their telephone. Free trial is available at http://www.mobile-secuware.com.

Cypress Unveils Online Solutions Library To Facilitate Faster, More Efficient PSoC® Designs

Free IP Resource at www.cypress.com/go/pr/solutions Enables Designers to Easily Recreate A Wide Range of Applications and Functions Using Flexible PSoC Architecture

SAN JOSE, Calif.-- May 07, 2008 --Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NYSE:CY) today announced an online solutions library of intellectual property addressing a wide range of applications and functions. The new Cypress Solutions Library website is a free resource of user-generated IP that can be easily replicated for quick, effective design with Cypress's flexible, programmable PSoC® architecture, as well as for designs using Cypress's USB and proprietary 2.4-GHz WirelessUSBT technologies. The library can be accessed from the "Solutions" tab on the Cypress company website or directly at www.cypress.com/go/pr/solutions.

The Cypress Solutions Library website's IP elements provide complete solutions for specific functions, including capacitive sensing, I2C and motor control. Applications within the library include consumer electronics, automotive, white goods and others. IP elements come in various types: technical documents, software and/or firmware, user module components, and complete designs that include documentation, software/firmware, schematics and layout files. The IP elements help designers speed projects through to completion, both with simple solutions for common design challenges, as well as with tools to address more unique project requirements.

"The Cypress Solutions Library website offers a rich resource for designers looking to improve time to market through IP reuse," said Babak Hedayati, senior vice president of Marketing and Applications for Cypress. "Our customers can now take advantage of pre-existing designs in order to quickly and easily tap the tremendous flexibility of the mixed-signal PSoC architecture."

PSoC -- Because Change Happens

PSoC devices employ a highly configurable system-on-chip architecture for embedded control design, offering a flash-based equivalent of a field-programmable ASIC without lead-time or NRE penalties. PSoC devices integrate configurable analog and digital circuits, controlled by an on-chip microcontroller, providing both enhanced design revision capability and component count savings. They include up to 32 Kbytes of Flash memory, 2 Kbytes of SRAM, an 8x8 multiplier with 32-bit accumulator, power and sleep monitoring circuits, and hardware I2C communications.

The flexible PSoC resources allow designers to future-proof their products by enabling firmware-based changes during design, validation, production, and in the field. The unique PSoC flexibility shortens design cycle time and allows for late-breaking feature enhancements. All PSoC devices are also dynamically reconfigurable, enabling designers to morph internal resources on-the-fly, utilizing fewer components to perform a given task.

Easy to use development tools enable designers to select configurable library elements for analog functions such as amplifiers, ADCs, DACs, filters and comparators and digital functions such as timers, counters, PWMs, USB, SPI and UARTs. The PSoC family's analog features include rail-to-rail inputs, programmable gain amplifiers and up to 14-bit ADCs with exceptionally low noise, input leakage and voltage offset.

A single PSoC device can integrate as many as 100 peripheral functions saving customers design time, board space and power consumption while improving system quality. Customers can save as much as $10 in system costs. Learn more about PSoC products at www.cypress.com/psoc and receive free online training at www.cypress.com/psoctraining.
