EDN magazine has named the PSoC® 3 and PSoC 5 programmable
system-on-chip architectures and the PSoC Creator™ software tool
from Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ:CY) as finalists for this
year’s EDN Innovation Awards. The new PSoC 3 and PSoC 5
architectures dramatically increase performance and extend the
world’s only programmable analog and digital embedded design
platform, delivering unmatched integration and flexibility across
8-, 16-, and 32-bit applications. The platform is powered by the
revolutionary PSoC Creator Integrated Development Environment,
which enables engineers to design the way they think and
dramatically shorten time-to-market. EDN’s editors selected the
Cypress solutions from hundreds of nominations, with the PSoC 3 and
PSoC 5 devices named in the Microcontrollers category and the PSoC
Creator IDE named in the Software/Embedded Tools category.
Instituted in 1990, the Innovation Awards honor the people,
products, and technologies that have shaped the semiconductor
industry over the past year. Through March 19, EDN’s worldwide
audience of electronic engineers and engineering managers will use
an online ballot to select the ultimate winners from among the
finalists. EDN’s editorial staff also takes part in determining the
final winners. Winners will be announced at a reception and awards
ceremony on April 26, in San Jose. More information on the nominees
and voting for the winners is available at
www.edn.com/innovation20.
PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 offer high-precision programmable analog
including 12- to 20-bit ADCs, digital logic libraries full of
dozens of drop-in peripherals, best-in-class power management and
rich connectivity resources. The PSoC Creator IDE introduces a
unique schematic-based design methodology along with fully tested,
pre-packaged analog and digital peripherals easily customizable
through user-intuitive wizards and APIs to meet specific design
requirements. More information on the PSoC platform is available at
www.cypress.com/go/psoc, and free downloads of PSoC Creator are
available at www.cypress.com/go/psoccreator.
“It is an honor to have the respected editors of EDN select our
PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 architectures and accompanying PSoC Creator
Software IDE as finalists, and to have the worldwide electronics
engineering community consider the platform for Innovation Awards,”
said Norm Taffe, executive vice president of the Consumer and
Computation Division at Cypress. “I fully believe the new PSoC
platform represents a revolutionary shift in embedded design,
enabling developers to use programmable resources to create, change
and reuse designs quickly and efficiently in software.”
About PSoC 3 and PSoC 5
The new PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 architectures include high-precision
programmable analog capability (up to 20-bit resolution for an
Analog to Digital Converter) and expanded programmable digital
resources integrated with powerful, industry-standard MCU cores and
ample memory and communications peripherals. The PSoC 3 devices are
based on a new, high-performance 8-bit 8051 processor, while the
PSoC 5 devices include a powerful 32-bit ARM Cortex™-M3 processor.
The new products provide designers with a seamless, programmable
design platform, enabling easy migration from 8 to 32 bits. The
robust features of these new solutions dramatically expand the
applications and markets that PSoC can address, including
automotive, portable medical, industrial and many more. More
