As part of Force Technologies’ continuing effort to showcase our technical library and support the global demand for legacy component solutions, we are pleased to show you the 1995 Cypress Semiconductor Data Book from our internal archive. This comprehensive reference covers a wide range of Cypress’s core product lines from that era, including SRAMs, EPROMs, FIFO memories, FCT logic devices, and PC system products.
This catalogue represents a critical snapshot of Cypress’s role in the semiconductor industry during the mid-1990s, particularly in the fields of high-speed memory and logic ICs for computing and data communication systems.
A Legacy of Innovation: About Cypress Semiconductor
Founded in 1982, Cypress Semiconductor (now Infineon) quickly became known for delivering high-performance, high-speed semiconductor solutions. The company’s portfolio spanned static RAM, programmable logic devices, USB and connectivity controllers, timing solutions, and more. By the mid-1990s, Cypress had become a key supplier to markets such as personal computing, telecommunications, industrial control, and networking infrastructure.
At the time of this 1995 data book, Cypress was leading the charge in:
- Fast CMOS SRAMs for cache and system memory
- First-In-First-Out (FIFO) memories used in telecom and video systems
- FCT and FCT-T logic families as fast, low-power TTL replacements
- Interface and clock management ICs for PC motherboards and peripheral systems
Many of the products listed in this databook went on to become long-lived components in embedded and industrial designs, many of which remain operational today.
Why This Matters for Obsolescence Management
For organisations maintaining long lifecycle equipment or operating in aerospace, defence, medical, or industrial environments, component obsolescence presents ongoing technical and supply chain challenges. Original documentation like this 1995 Cypress databook plays a crucial role in enabling Force Technologies to accurately identify, source, and verify hard-to-find parts.
With access to original manufacturer specifications, timing diagrams, and electrical characteristics, we can cross-reference obsolete part numbers with compatible or form-fit-function alternatives, and support reverse engineering or requalification where necessary.
This document adds to our growing archive of vintage and legacy semiconductor databooks an essential resource that supports our mission to help customers maintain operational readiness, avoid costly redesigns, and mitigate risk across ageing systems.
