New PSoC® 6 BLE Pioneer Kit and Supporting PSoC
Creator™ 4.2 IDE Available for Development of IoT Products
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: CY) today announced the
public release of the PSoC® 6 BLE Pioneer Kit and PSoC Creator™
Integrated Design Environment (IDE) software version 4.2 that
enable designers to begin innovating with the PSoC 6
microcontroller (MCU) for IoT applications. PSoC BLE 6 is the
industry’s lowest power, most flexible MCU with built-in Bluetooth
Low Energy wireless connectivity and integrated hardware-based
security in a single device.

“We have seen overwhelming interest in PSoC 6 with more than
2,500 customers registering for our early adopter program in just a
few months,” said John Weil, VP and GM of the MCU Business Unit at
Cypress. “Initial feedback from early adopters has been that the
combination of features in PSoC 6 really hits the mark for IoT
designs. We are excited to see how our broader customer base will
now use the PSoC 6 BLE Pioneer Kit to develop innovative
products.”
Early adopters are utilizing the flexible dual-core architecture
of PSoC 6, using the Arm® Cortex®-M4 core as a host processor and
the Cortex-M0+ core to manage peripheral functions such as
capacitive sensing, Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity and sensor
aggregation. Early adopter applications include wearables, personal
medical devices and wireless speakers. Designers are also utilizing
the built-in security features in PSoC 6 to help guard against
unwanted access to data. Designers can find more information on the
PSoC 6 MCU architecture at http://www.cypress.com/PSoC6.
About the PSoC 6 BLE Pioneer Kit
The PSoC BLE Pioneer Kit features a PSoC 63 MCU with Bluetooth
Low Energy (BLE) connectivity. The kit enables development of
modern touch and gesture-based interfaces that are robust and
reliable with a linear slider, touch buttons and proximity sensors
based on the latest generation of Cypress’ industry-leading
CapSense® capacitive-sensing technology. Designers can also use the
board to add USB Power Delivery (PD) with its Cypress EZ-PD™ CCG3
USB-C controller. The kit also includes a 2.7-inch E-ink Display
Shield add-on board (CY8CKIT-028-EPD) with thermistor, digital mic,
and 9-axes motion sensor. Designers can find more information on
the PSoC 6 BLE Pioneer Kit (CY8CKIT-062-BLE) at

Enabling Innovative IoT Devices with Intuitive Software
Support
Offering best-in-class flexibility and ease-of-use, the PSoC 6
MCU architecture can serve as the catalyst for differentiated,
visionary IoT devices. Designers can use software-defined
peripherals to create custom analog front-ends (AFEs) or digital
interfaces for innovative system components such as E-ink displays.
The architecture is supported by Cypress’ PSoC Creator IDE and the
expansive Arm ecosystem. Designers can find more information about
PSoC Creator at http://www.cypressw.com/creator.
Availability
The PSoC 6 BLE Pioneer Kit (CY8CKIT-062-BLE) is available for
purchase for $75 USD at the Cypress Online Store and through select
distribution partners. PSoC 6 devices are currently sampling.
Production devices are expected by the end of 2017.
