Cypress and ARM Webinar on September 23 Explores Migration from 8-Bit to 32-Bits Designs

Free Online Seminar Hosted with EE Times Will Explore Migration Benefits And How to Avoid Pitfalls

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq: CY) today announced a free, online seminar that will help engineers in the migration from 8-bit to 32-bit designs. The 60-minute webinar, entitled “Migrating from 8-bit to 32-bit Processing with the Cypress PSoC Platform,” will be presented in conjunction with ARM and EE Times on Thursday, September 23 at 9:00 a.m. PDT. Registration is available at http://seminar2.techonline.com/registration/distrib.cgi?s=1627&d=3854.

As embedded system projects become more complex, many designs that were previously implemented with 8-bit controllers need to move to 32-bit architectures. While this transition was considered difficult in the past, new tools and architectures are facilitating the switch. This webinar will discuss the high-level benefits of moving from 8-bits to 32-bits, some of the road blocks that designers can face, and how Cypress’s PSoC® platform makes this transition painless.

About PSoC 3 and PSoC 5
Cypress’s PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 architectures include high-precision programmable analog capability (up to 20-bit resolution for an Analog to Digital Converter) and expanded programmable digital resources integrated with powerful, industry-standard MCU cores and ample memory and communications peripherals. The PSoC 3 devices are based on a high-performance 8-bit 8051 processor, while the PSoC 5 devices include a powerful 32-bit ARM® Cortex™-M3 processor. The products provide designers with a seamless, programmable design platform, enabling easy migration from 8 to 32 bits. The robust features of these new solutions dramatically expand the applications and markets that PSoC can address, including automotive, portable medical, industrial and many more.
