Cypress Reduces Calculation and Analysis Time by 50% with Mathcad

Cypress designs, develops, and manufacturers embedded systems semiconductors including: flash memory, microcontroller, mixed-signal and analog products, and embedded system on-chip solutions.

Initiatives

• Conduct fast and accurate analyses for semiconductor engineering
• Reduce and prevent errors
• Accelerate engineering processes
• Save time and improve calculation accuracy
• Encourage sharing of knowledge and ideas in a clear way

Solution

• PTC Mathcad templates allow for standardization of engineering calculations across different engineering teams, management, and clients.
• Clear advantages in both understanding of math and speed compared to previous approach using Microsoft Excel
• Unit conversion is faster with PTC Mathcad, especially imperial to metric, and units are pre-defined.

Results

• PTC Mathcad minimizes errors and miscommunication, resulting in improved calculation accuracy.
• Calculation and analysis times reduced by 50%.
• One analysis that previously took 90 minutes in Microsoft Excel required only 45 minutes with PTC Mathcad.
