Chipset; Two-Chip Spread Spectrum
Frequency Timing Generators for Intel 820

Business Editors/High Tech Writers

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 19, 1999--Cypress
Semiconductor Corp. (NYSE:CY) today introduced a Spread Spectrum
Frequency Timing Generator solution for Intel's high-performance 820
chipset (also known as Camino). The two-chip solution includes the
CY2210, which provides the reference timing for the CPU, PCI and other
I/O interfaces, and Cypress's W134 (the only industry-approved Direct
Rambus(TM) Clock Generator), which provides the signals for the Direct
Rambus memory subsystem.

The CY2210 offers multiple output clocks at different
frequencies, including four CPU clocks at up to 133 MHz, four AGP
clocks at 66 MHz, eight synchronous PCI clocks, and Spread Spectrum to
reduce EMI emissions. Additional features include three APIC clocks,
one USB clock at 48 MHz and two reference clocks at 14.318 MHz. The
device is fully compliant to Intel's CK133 clock synthesizer and
driver specification.

The W134 generates clock source in the range of 267 to 400 MHz
and supports Direct Rambus memory system with up to 1.6 GB per second
data transfer rate. The W135 is offered in two versions-the W134M and
the W134S. The only difference between the two is their frequency
multiplier tables.
"This two-chip solution highlights the benefits of the recent
Cypress, IC Works merger," said, Ian Chen, director of marketing for
Cypress's Timing Technology division. "We have used technology from
each company to provide a market-leading solution that meets the needs
of major PC OEMs."

Price and Availability

The CY2210 and the W134 are available now. Pricing for the CY2210
starts at $4.50 in 10,000-unit quantities and is offered in a 56-pin
shrink small outline package (SSOP). The W134 starts at $2.75 in
10,000 unit quantities and is offered in 24-pin 150-mil shrink small
outline package (SSOP).
