Press Release Body: Fuji Xerox Selects Cypress's 4-PLL Spread Spectrum Clock
Generator To Cut EMI for Multifunction Office Devices
Configurable CY2545 Clock Reduces BOM Costs
For High-Performance ApeosPort-III and DocuCentre-III Families
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 18, 2008 - Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NYSE: CY) today
announced that Fuji Xerox Co. Ltd. has selected Cypress's spread spectrum clock
generator for its multifunction devices that print, copy, scan, fax and more. The
4-PLL (phase-locked loop) CY2545 clock generator uses the spread-spectrum PLLs to
reduce electro-magnetic interference (EMI) emissions in Fuji Xerox's ApeosPort-III
and DocuCentre-III C3300/C2200. The clock helped Fuji Xerox cut BOM cost for the
devices by eliminating the need for shielding, ferrite beads or chokes often used to
address EMI issues.
The ApeosPort-III and DocuCentre-III multifunction devices provide middle-range
office performance and enhanced security features for better document management.
The devices reliably handle the output volume needed for a document intensive
environment and deliver true-to-life image quality with 1200 x 2400 dpi print
resolution. The devices benefit from the flexible CY2545 clock's two-wire I2C
programming, which allowed Fuji Xerox to dynamically adjust EMI reduction variables
for real-time determination of optimum system configuration. For more information on

"EMI poses a significant threat to the performance of our multifunction devices, and
Cypress's configurable spread spectrum solution delivers a flexible, effective
EMI-reduction solution," said Shinho Ikeda of the Controller Development Group at
Fuji Xerox. "Additionally, Cypress offered excellent evaluation and design support
to help cut our time-to-market."
"We are pleased to have an industry-leading customer like Fuji Xerox implement our
programmable spread spectrum timing solutions," said David Kranzler, Vice President
of the Timing Solutions Business Unit at Cypress. "These multifunction office
devices are a perfect example of how our solutions can reduce EMI to comply with
regulatory agency requirements while also cutting BOM costs."
The CY2545 clock generator meets critical timing performance, voltage and power
requirements for computing, networking and consumer electronics systems, including
multifunction printers, HDTV, STB, DVD-R, high definition projectors and portable
navigation systems. The clock offers three frequency-select pins to allow users to
specify up to nine frequency outputs in the range of 3 to 166 MHz, based on
application need. This allows customers to use the same device on every platform,
easing ordering and record keeping, and reducing risk of excess or bad inventory.
The device also offers four different output voltage options - 3.3, 3.0, 2.5 and
1.8V.
