Cypress Expands Offering of PSoC® 3 and PSoC 5 Free Online Training and Informational Resources
March 15 2010 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ:CY) today announced several
new online training modules and videos about its PSoC® 3 and PSoC 5
programmable system-on-chip architectures and PSoC Creator™
integrated development environment (IDE). The six new online
training modules join the four existing modules available at
www.cypress.com/psoctraining to provide engineers with in-depth
training on the PSoC 3, PSoC 5 and PSoC Creator offerings. The
modules teach engineers how to take advantage of the high-precision
analog, programmable digital and high-performance cores and CPU
subsystems through a combination of lecture and hands-on labs.
Cypress has also published two new videos: “Creating Custom
Components in PSoC Creator” and “Creating an Analog to Digital
Converter (ADC) LCD Project.” The videos are available at
www.cypress.com/go/psocvideos. Additional resources include 34
example projects using PSoC 3, available at
www.cypress.com/go/psocprojects, which each allow engineers to
learn one specific implementation in the architecture.
“PSoC Creator software enable engineers to design the way they
think in a unique schematic-based format,” said Matt Branda,
marketing director of PSoC Platform products at Cypress. “These
videos and training modules show designers how to use this IDE to
get the most flexibility and performance from the PSoC 3 and PSoC 5
devices, and have been well received by the engineering community.”
The four existing training modules have been viewed over 8,000
times since the September 2009 launch of the new PSoC
architectures.
The six online training modules include the following:
- PSoC Creator 110 - Schematic
Components
This course gives an introduction to the development of
components in the PSoC Creator environment. It covers the
basic development of components using a schematic as the
implementation methodology. It also includes the generation of
symbols and the placement of the component into the component
catalog.
- PSoC Creator 111 - Component
Parameters
This course introduces the usage of parameters as part of the
development of a component in PSoC Creator. Parameters allow a
single component to have functionality that is specific to an
instance of that component. Aspects of component parameters
such as validation, enumerated types, and passing parameters to
lower level instances are covered.
- PSoC Creator 112 -
Introduction to Component API Generation
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are used for
the CPU to interact with a component in PSoC
Creator. This course introduces the generation of APIs within
components. APIs often use “Control” and “Status” registers as part
of their implementation, so the usage of these registers is
described.
- PSoC Creator 113 - PLD Based
Verilog Components
Verilog is the implementation methodology used to describe the
logic that is placed in the PLD portion of the programmable digital
architecture used in PSoC 3 and PSoC 5. This course explains
the PLD implementation used and the methodology used to map a
Verilog description of digital logic to the physical implementation
in the hardware. It shows the basic constructs used for both
combinatorial and sequential logic in Verilog. It explains the
differences introduced by development in Verilog for symbols
and parameters.
- PSoC 3 / PSoC 5 201: Analog
Peripherals II
This module builds on the previous analog module (PSoC 3 / PSoC
5: 104) and goes into more depth on the analog peripherals that can
be implemented in PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 devices using PSoC Creator.
- PSoC 3 / PSoC 5 106:
CapSense® Touch Sensing
This module introduces the CapSense touch sensing peripheral of
PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 devices that can be implemented using PSoC
Creator.
The four existing trainings are:
- PSoC 3 / PSoC 5 101:
Introduction to the Architecture and Design Flow
- PSoC 3 / PSoC 5 102:
Introduction to System Resources
- PSoC 3 / PSoC 5 103:
Introduction to Digital Peripherals
- PSoC 3 / PSoC 5 104:
Introduction to Analog Peripherals.
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
