Version 2.0 of Cypress Semiconductor’s PSoC Creator Design Environment for the PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 programmable system-on-chip families is available for free download for all users at www.cypress.com/go/psoccreator.
Among the hundreds of feature enhancements, PSoC Creator 2.0 introduces support for the production PSoC 5 ARM architecture and devices, as well as enabling customers to interoperate with the popular and powerful Keil μVision 4 integrated development environment (IDE). This interoperability enables customers to rapidly draw, configure and design custom device hardware in PSoC Creator and then write the application code in the familiar and feature-rich μVision 4 IDE.
The new version boosts device performance through new, timing-driven routing, enabling clock speeds to increase by as much as 20%. Enhanced static timing analysis tools utilised during the hardware customisation process guarantee performance across temperature variations and simplify design and debug.
PSoC Creator is a graphical design tool that allows users to customise the PSoC device to their unique system requirements in minutes. The design environment includes a rich library of fully tested and characterised analog and digital components that can be dragged and dropped into a design and configured to suit a broad array of application requirements.
The tool automatically places components into the PSoC device, routes all on-chip signals and directs I/O to the optimum pins. Each peripheral component is carefully parameterised so that the implementation is automatically optimised to fit the developer’s needs perfectly with no wasted resources. The build process generates a consistently named set of APIs for each component that allows the software developer to control the hardware without knowing the underlying register set. Customised designs, and their associated APIs, can even be saved in a library for future reuse and shared within an organisation.
The latest version of PSoC Creator introduces new peripherals, including S/PDIF for digital audio, serial GPIO for hard disk drive controllers, a hardware-based fan controller, a voltage power sequencer and an external memory interface to simplify hardware configuration. PSoC Creator now includes more than 80 analog and digital components in its portfolio.
