Cypress Semiconductor
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.
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles Cypress Semiconductor the way a machine reads it — 38 machine-readable artifacts across 6 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Cypress Semiconductor scores 42.5/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 7/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Cypress Semiconductor
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Cypress Semiconductor. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 6
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Pricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Rate Limits 1
Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Semantic Vocabularies 1
JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.
