Cypress Semiconductor recently introduced a new development platform for the PSoC 5 programmable system-on-chip architecture. The company unveiled two new design kits and a new version of the PSoC Creator Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The unique programmable analog and digital peripherals in PSoC 5, along with the 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 processor, position the platform for demanding applications such as industrial, medical, automotive and consumer equipment.
PSoC 5 devices offer integrated analog resources, including one 20-bit Delta Sigma ADC and two 12-bit SAR ADCs with sample rates as high as 1 MSps. The architecture also includes the PLD-based Universal Digital Blocks for implementing standard and custom digital peripherals.
The FirstTouch Starter Kit (CY8CKIT-014) helps designers get acquainted with the PSoC 5 architecture. It includes software and example projects which take advantage of the kit’s onboard sensors which include an accelerometer, a thermistor, proximity sensing and CapSense. The kit enables easy development via 28 general-purpose I/O pins, a 12-pin wireless module header, and serial wire debugging (SWD). It also includes the PSoC Creator IDE, a powerful design environment that combines schematic and textual entry with pre-configured, pre-tested components that can be dropped into designs.
The CY8CKIT-010 PSoC CY8C55 Family Processor Module Kit is available for more in-depth design work. It works with the PSoC Development Kit (CY8CKIT-001), which offers support for the entire PSoC line. The CY8CKIT-001 kit contains a main PSoC development board and three processor module boards for the different architectures: PSoC 1, PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 devices. It also includes a MiniProg3 debug and evaluation device, prototyping cable kit, a USB cable, a 12 V a.c. power adapter, and both PSoC Creator and PSoC Designer software. Sample projects are also provided.
