Cypress Semiconductor was a US-based semiconductor company known for its PSoC programmable system-on-chip microcontrollers, WICED Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity stacks, NOR Flash memory, CapSense capacitive touch sensing, and Traveo automotive microcontrollers. Infineon Technologies completed its $9.4 billion acquisition of Cypress on April 16, 2020, and Cypress now operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Infineon. The former Cypress product lines (PSoC, AIROC formerly WICED, NOR Flash, CapSense, Traveo) remain in active development under Infineon branding, and the cypress.com domain redirects to infineon.com. The former Cypress developer surface — including PSoC Creator (legacy) and the modern ModusToolbox embedded development ecosystem — is now hosted on the Infineon GitHub organization (github.com/Infineon) which contains 2,143 public repositories spanning code examples, board support packages, HAL libraries, middleware, and configurators for PSoC, AIROC, Traveo, XMC, and AURIX device families. The original Cypress GitHub organization (github.com/cypresssemiconductorco) has been wound down to four placeholder repos that redirect users to the Infineon org. Cypress' APIs are predominantly embedded software APIs (C/C++ HAL, PDL, middleware libraries) rather than HTTP/REST surfaces, consumed by firmware engineers via ModusToolbox, Eclipse, and Visual Studio Code workflows.
