Cypress is the first NOR flash supplier to see the need for a high-speed 8-bit bus market and released the HyperBus interface in 2014, pioneering the introduction of a new generation of high-performance NOR flash and RAM solutions for driverless and industrial 4.0 Instantaneous Startup for Applications Cypress HyperBus-based memory includes high-density HyperFlash ™ NOR flash devices with the bandwidth required for the highest-performance embedded systems and systems for systems requiring greater scratchpad memory High-Speed HyperRAM ™ Auto-Refresh Dynamic RAM (DRAM) Devices.

Howard Sussman, vice chairman of JEDEC's board of directors, said: "Cypress has been a leading member of the JEDEC working group that is driving the xSPI standard, and JEDEC standards make it easier for system integrators to choose spares for xSP compliant flash devices At the same time, the standard provides a uniform PCB footprint and makes it possible to use a uniform device driver for all xSPI memory that is configured for memory systems based on the standard xSPI method.
The xSPI standard defines the compatibility requirements for high-performance x8 serial interfaces including read and write commands, electrical characteristics, signal protocols for command and data transfers, and standard pinouts in a ball grid array (BGA) package.
Rainer Hoehler, Cypress's vice president of Flash Business, said: 'We firmly believe that the open industry standards released by such well-known standards bodies as JEDEC are the best way for a product to be widely recognized by the market while delivering benefits to its customers and suppliers. Cypress's HyperBus interface is integrated into the xSPI standard to help customers make system instant-on functions much easier. '
