Cypress Semiconductor Corporation Overview

Company Headquarters: US

Founded: 1982

Workforce: ~5,850

Company Working: Cypress Semiconductor Corporation manufactures, designs, and sells advanced embedded system solutions for industrial, home automation and appliances, automotive, consumer, electronics, and other application areas. The company operates through two segments— microcontroller and connectivity division (MCD) and memory products division (MPD). The MCD segment offers analog, microcontroller (MCU), wired, and wireless connectivity solutions including energy harvesting solutions and analog power management integrated circuits. Additionally, the MCD segment provides programmable system-on-chip, Traveo automotive MCUs, and general-purpose MCUs, ARM Cortex-M4, -M3, and -M0+ MCUs, R4 CPUs, ZigBee solutions, Bluetooth, Bluetooth low energy, and wireless IoT connectivity solutions. The memory products division offers static random-access memory (SRAM) products, NOR and NAND flash memories, HyperRAM, synchronous and asynchronous SRAMs, nvSRAMs, F-RAM ferroelectric memory devices, and other specialty memory, and timing solutions. The company markets NOR flash for the following two segments—Automotive and industrial. Serial NOR manufactured by the company serves the automotive segment in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), automotive instrument clusters, and automotive infotainment systems. The major applications of serial NOR manufactured by the company for the industrial segment include security systems, industrial control and automation systems, networking routers, and switches among others. The company operates in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific among other regions

Strategy

Cypress Semiconductor Corporation's key strategy should focus on leveraging its strong presence in the automotive and industrial markets and diversifying its customer base to reduce dependence on key customers.
