Business Wire
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ:CY) and Future Electronics
today introduced a low-cost development board demonstrating the
ease-of-use of Cypress’s new PSoC® 3 architecture. The Future
Electronics PSoC 3 Development Board shows how developers can
leverage the flexible PSoC 3 architecture and the revolutionary
PSoC Creator™ Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to
streamline designs.
The Future Electronics PSoC 3 Development Board features:
- On-Board Debug/Programmer
- CapSense® Touch Pad
Interface
- TriColor - Red/Green/Blue
LEDs
- User USB Interface
- Power through USB Ports
- Two Connectors for I/Os and
Expansion Boards
- Optional CAN Oscillator.
The two Expansion Board Kit (EBK) connectors on the board enable
it to work with a growing ecosystem of solution-based expansion
kits that Cypress is developing, including segment LCD, CAN and
more. Future will also be developing an expansion board for the new
Sharp Pixel in Memory LCD with power consumption 130 times lower
than standard LCDs of comparable size. More information on the
Future PSoC 3 board is available at
www.FutureElectronics.com/cypress. The companies also announced
that interested parties can request free onsite introductory
demonstrations of the new development board or half-day, hands-on
workshops by visiting www.cypress.com/go/FEtraining or by
contacting a local Future account manager.
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. PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 offer high-precision
programmable analog including 12- to 20-bit delta-sigma 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 and free downloads of PSoC Creator are available at
www.cypress.com/go/psoccreator.
“We’re pleased to offer our customers a low-cost entry point to
experience how Cypress’s PSoC platform provides the power and
flexibility to develop innovative products and get to market fast,"
said Frantz Saintellemy, Chief Technical Officer at Future
Electronics. “We’re also looking forward to providing hands-on
demonstrations through our free, onsite trainings.”
“Future Electronics has created another excellent development
tool for PSoC designers around the world,” said Geoff Charubin,
vice president of Worldwide Distribution for Cypress. “We are
excited to see the response for the new board and training programs
from customers who have come to trust Future’s strong technical
support.”
The free onsite demonstration introduces the PSoC 3 and PSoC 5
architectures and features, shows applications development using
PSoC Creator software and the Future Electronics PSoC 3 Development
Board, and includes a short lab. The free half-day workshop gives
participants hands-on experience using and developing PSoC 3
applications through the PSoC Creator IDE and the CY8CKIT-001 PSoC
Development Kit. Attendees will learn how to easily implement
high-performance, low-power 8-bit or 32-bit mixed-signal
applications with an architecture integrating powerful and
programmable analog and digital resources. Interested parties can
request introductory demonstrations or workshops by visiting:

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
