Cypress Introduces PSoC 3® and PSoC 5 Device Selection Tool To Help Designers Easily Customize the Perfect PSoC Solution
March 30 2010 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq:CY) today introduced a new
online product selection tool for its powerful new PSoC® 3 and PSoC
5 architectures. The Electronic Product Selector Guide, now
available at www.cypress.com/go/PSoCePSG, streamlines the selection
of the optimal PSoC device based on the peripheral functions a
designer wants to implement in the programmable analog and digital
resources. As a user makes selections in the tool’s intuitive user
interface, the “Results” field of applicable parts dynamically
narrows down, displaying the part with the best match first. Once
the search criteria are entered, the user can select devices to
compare, click on the part numbers for more information, and
rearrange the feature columns to highlight the most relevant
data.
The Electronic Product Selector Guide allows designers to easily
customize:
- the number of ADCs, DACs,
comparators, OpAmps, PGAs, TIAs and mixers needed in the analog
subsystem
- the number of timers, PWMs,
counters and communications interfaces, including I2C, SPI, UART,
I2S, Full-Speed USB and CAN, needed in the digital subsystem
- the speed, microcontroller core,
memory, voltage, temperature range and package in the CPU
subsystem
- advanced features such as
CapSense® touch-sensing, LCD direct drive and more.
PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 devices extend the world’s only programmable
analog and digital embedded design platform, delivering unmatched
time-to-market, integration and flexibility across 8-, 16-, and
32-bit applications. The platform is powered by the revolutionary
PSoC Creator™ Integrated Development Environment (IDE), which
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.
“This new product selection tool makes it even easier to add the
flexibility and integration of the PSoC platform into a design,”
said Matt Branda, marketing director of PSoC Platform products at
Cypress. “It helps PSoC veterans and newcomers alike to quickly
identify the ideal part for a design based on the desired
peripheral functions, while also highlighting the unique
flexibility of PSoC to solve a wide range of applications with the
on-chip programmable analog and digital resources.”
Cypress is planning to expand the Electronic Product Selector
Guide to include PSoC 1 devices later this year.
PSoC -- Because Change Happens
PSoC devices employ a highly configurable system-on-chip
architecture for embedded control design, offering a flash-based
equivalent of a field-programmable ASIC without lead-time or NRE
penalties. PSoC devices integrate configurable analog and digital
circuits, controlled by an on-chip microcontroller, providing both
enhanced design revision capability and component count savings. A
single PSoC device can integrate as many as 100 peripheral
functions saving customers design time, board space and power
consumption while improving system quality and reducing system
cost.
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. PSoC 3 devices are
based on a high-performance 8-bit 8051 processor, while PSoC 5
devices include a powerful 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 processor. The
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. The PSoC 1
family is based on a cost-optimized 8-bit M8C core. More
