Development kit for Cypress’s PSoC 4 architecture now available for pre-order
Premier Farnell and Cypress Semiconductor Corp have announced that customers can now pre-order the PSoC 4 Pioneer Development Kit from element14. The kit lets designers discover the capabilities of the PSoC 4 programmable system-on-chip architecture, which combines Cypress’s PSoC analog and digital fabric with ARM’s Cortex-M0 core.
The PSoC 4 kit includes connectors for Arduino-compatible shields and Digilent PMOD daughter cards, enabling customers to pick from a variety of third-party expansion boards. In addition, an onboard PSoC 5LP device serves as the programmer and debugger, eliminating the need for external programmers.
The kit marries PSoC’s programmable analog and digital fabric with the powerful, economical ARM Cortex-M0 processor. A single PSoC device claims to integrate as many as 100 peripheral functions and ‘future-proof’ designs, enabling designers to transform resources on the fly.
