AUSTIN, Texas – May 22, 2002– Cirrus Logic (Nasdaq: CRUS) announced today that its EP7312 microprocessor will power Strix Systems’ new Bluetooth™-based wireless networking system, which provides continuous, secure connections between corporate servers and mobile devices used within the workplace.

“Meeting the demanding performance requirements of digital entertainment markets has helped Cirrus create ICs that are extremely powerful, flexible and cost efficient,” said Lew Paceley, marketing vice president, Crystal Products Division, Cirrus Logic. “Consequently, enterprise application developers have found that Cirrus’ technology is ideal for their needs as well. In the case of Strix Systems, our technology is additionally used to enable connectivity in networked environments, which is a fundamental element of Cirrus’ company-wide value proposition.”

Strix Systems’ wireless networking solution deploys Bluetooth-based access points placed at calculated intervals throughout the enterprise. Powered by Cirrus’ 7312 microprocessors, each access point provides wireless network connectivity for PDAs, bar-code scanners and other mobile devices. Employing Strix Systems’ inventive technology, the Cirrus-powered access points automatically transfer user connections from one point to another, extending coverage beyond Bluetooth’s 30-foot limit and ensuring seamless and continuous network connectivity as users roam throughout the enterprise.

“The EP7312’s strong processing capabilities help Strix Systems deliver a competitive solution,” said Duke Kamstra, vice president of engineering, Strix Systems. “From a development standpoint, we appreciate the EP7312’s ARM-based architecture, which simplifies integration with our network solution, and accelerates our ability to get our product to market.”

The Cirrus Logic EP7312 microprocessor is designed for ultra low-power portable and line-powered applications, such as portable consumer entertainment devices, home and car audio jukebox systems, and general purpose industrial control applications. The core-logic functionality of the device is built around an ARM-720T processor with 8 Kbytes of four-way set-associative unified cache and a write buffer. Incorporated into the ARM720T is an enhanced memory management unit (MMU) which allows for support of sophisticated operating systems like Microsoft® Windows® CE and Linux®.
