DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

On October 6, 1997, Simtek Corporation (the “Registrant”) filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-37239) relating to common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”), issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement registered 507,472 shares (as adjusted to reflect the Registrant’s 10 for 1 reverse stock split completed on October 4, 2006) of Common Stock. This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is being filed to remove from registration all authorized shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance that have not yet been issued under the Registration Statement.

Registrant, Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (“Cypress”) and Copper Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cypress (“Purchaser”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 1, 2008 (the “Merger Agreement”), that provides for, among other things, the merger of Purchaser with and into Registrant with Registrant surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cypress and the conversion of each outstanding share of Registrant Common Stock into the right to receive $2.60 in cash (the “Merger”). The Merger was effected on September 17, 2008, pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, after Purchaser acquired over 90% of the outstanding Registrant Common Stock. The Merger became effective as specified in a Certificate of Ownership and Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on September 17, 2008 (the “Merger Date”).

As a result of the Merger, Registrant has terminated all offerings of Registrant Common Stock pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. Accordingly, Registrant hereby removes from registration all shares of Registrant Common Stock registered under the Registration Statement which remain unsold as of the Merger Date.
