Cypress has expanded its presence in the automotive market with the launch of two USB devices.

The CY7C67300 EZ-Host device offers up to four host ports and can work both in stand alone and co processor modes. In co processor mode, it can support interfaces such as SPI, HSS and HPI. With 32 general purpose I/O (GPIO) pins, the EZ-Host device can be configured to provide extended functionalities.
Alakesh Chetia, vice president of the USB Business Unit at Cypress, said: "These USB devices fit in well with our automotive-qualified PSoC devices, memories and clocks in Cypress's expanding automotive portfolio. We will continue to grow our USB products for automotive in the coming years to cater to the ever increasing connectivity requirements of the automotive industry."
