The whole world is watching how high you fly, only I am watching how fast you fly

Friends who have watched "Fast and Furious 7"

You must be very familiar with the car-speeding scenes between high-rise buildings.

Can cars fly? No one has yet answered the question.

However, how fast can a car fly? There is a device that can answer you.

Recently, Cypress Instrument Cluster Solution

Applied to the instrument cluster of a leading American car

Breaking News

Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: CY), a global leader in embedded solutions, announced today that global automotive supplier Yazaki North America Corporation (Yazaki) has selected Cypress’ instrument cluster solution to provide instrument cluster products with advanced graphics for a leading U.S. automaker.

Cypress was recognized and favored by Yazaki for providing five unique chip products that can drive dual displays simultaneously and provide memory performance that meets the instant-on requirements of automotive ASIL-B safety standards. Cypress's solutions include Traveo™ microcontrollers (MCUs), two high-bandwidth HyperBus™ memories in a multi-chip package (MCP), analog power management ICs for safe operation of electrical products, and PSoC® MCUs for system management support.

Spencer Weidig, Senior Project Manager at Yazaki

Our customers needed a combination instrument panel product with rich graphic display functions to enhance the user experience while highlighting the differentiated advantages of their high-end crossover and truck models. Cooperating with a company like Cypress that focuses on this field, we used multiple core components to reduce costs and simplify the design process of the combination instrument panel product, which was recognized by customers. At the same time, the scalability of the solution also helped us effectively meet the functional requirements of three different levels of vehicles.

Sven Natus, Senior Director of Cypress Automotive Business Unit

As a company with a deep understanding of the automotive industry and technological accumulation, Cypress has been committed to providing high-performance, trouble-free automotive solutions and has always maintained its leading position in the industry. We focus on long-term cooperation with automotive product suppliers such as Yazaki to provide them with personalized solutions based on Traveo™ MCU products; at the same time, we bring more convenience to customers with the industry's first-class trouble-free storage, data logging and power management ICs and other technologies.

The Cypress Traveo product used in the Yazaki instrument cluster is the industry's first Arm® Cortex®-R5 instrument cluster MCU that supports 3D graphics. It saves memory while providing higher security and richer graphics capabilities. The MCU works seamlessly with Cypress's HyperBus MCP device, which integrates 512-Mbit NOR high-speed flash memory with instant startup and instant-on capabilities, and 64-Mbit self-refresh DRAM for scalable temporary storage. Multi-chip package (MCP) devices can achieve low latency while meeting high-bandwidth processing requirements. Compared with complex DDR memory, its lower pin count can make the design simpler.

Cypress helps build the world's leading automotive electronic systems

Cypress works with the world's top automotive companies to develop industry-leading automotive electronic systems, including advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), 3D graphics displays, wireless connectivity, full-featured touch screens, and superior body electronics. Cypress's automotive-grade product portfolio includes: Traveo and PSoC MCUs, CapSense® capacitive sensing solutions, TrueTouch® touch screen solutions, Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth® and USB connectivity solutions, power management ICs (PMICs), as well as NOR flash, F-RAM™ and SRAM memories. Cypress is committed to providing excellent services, complying with the most stringent automotive industry standards, and providing strong backing for its product line.
