Press Release

Montreal, Quebec ( connect2business.co.uk ) May 17, 2013 - Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, announces immediate availability of the world's broadest USB portfolio from Cypress, providing industry leading quality, extensive design resources and worldwide support for all kinds of USB applications.

USB is the most successful peripheral interconnect and is heavily adopted in consumer electronics and PC peripherals. USB3.0 is the next revolution in the wired USB market, offering the same ease of use and flexibility that users have become comfortable with, but at the much higher data rate of 5Gbps. The USB3.0 specification also delivers excellent power management, which is very important for "Sync & Go" applications that need to maintain long battery life.

Cypress entered the USB market in 1996 with the goal of "Making USB Universal®" and has since become the leading USB device supplier in a wide variety of applications. Cypress offers the industry's most complete portfolio of USB devices, including low-, full-, and high-speed controllers, embedded hosts, hubs, application specific bridges, transceivers and wireless solutions.
