Cypress Semiconductor

Cypress Semiconductor Corporation was an American semiconductor company founded in 1982 in San Jose, California, which established itself as a leader in designing and manufacturing advanced embedded system solutions for automotive, industrial, consumer electronics, and medical products. Throughout its nearly four-decade history as an independent entity, the company was known for a diverse portfolio that included programmable system-on-chip (PSoC) microcontrollers, reliable high-performance memories, and critical connectivity solutions for USB, Bluetooth, and the Internet of Things. This strategic focus culminated in 2020 when Cypress was acquired by Infineon Technologies for approximately $9.4 billion, a move that integrated Cypress's technologies and expanded Infineon's capabilities in high-growth areas like the connected world.
