Hi,

I'm starting a new product with CYUSB3014 FX3 chip.

My simple question is, how many devices I am allowed to put to the market, using Cypress default PID/VID, before having to purchase my own VID ?

My target market is not a consumer market, and 200 devices per year is the maximum number of devices I expect to manufacture in the first couple of years, So it would be very helpful if there was a way to kickstart the project with the defaut PID/VID.

Some other manufacturers (like NXP) provide custom PID to be used with their VID, and limited to a few thousands devices. Do you happen to offer a similar service?

Thank you,

Hello,

For Cypress FX3/FX2 devices and its variants: You cannot use the Cypress VID and PID apart from the device bootloader VID/PID for production.

USB-Serial devices are an exception.

Note:

The default VID/PID in the cyusb3 inf can be used only for testing and development purposes.

For requesting a new PID under Cypress VID, please create a tech support case: https://www.cypress.com/support

Thanks,

Yatheesh
