Cypress Semiconductor Corporation was an American semiconductor design and manufacturing company. It offered NOR flash memories,[2] F-RAM and SRAM Traveo microcontrollers,[3] PSoCs,[4] PMICs,[5] capacitive touch-sensing controllers,[6] Wireless BLE Bluetooth Low-Energy[7] and USB connectivity solutions.

Its headquarters were in San Jose, California, with operations in the United States, Ireland, India and the Philippines.[8]

In April 2016, Cypress Semiconductors announced the acquisition of Broadcom’s Wireless Internet of Things Business. The deal was closed in July 2016.[9]

In June 2019, Infineon Technologies announced it would acquire Cypress for $9.4 billion.[10][11] The deal closed in April 2020, making Infineon one of the world's top 10 semiconductor manufacturers.[12][13]

Some of its main competitors included Microchip Technology, NXP Semiconductors, Renesas Electronics and Micron Technology.
