The new PSoC4

http://www.cypress.com/?id=4749

Any idea what would be the price range comparing with PSoC5 and the LP with similar RAM/ROM and features?

PSoC 4 is meant to fill the gap between PSoC 1 and PSoC 3/5LP. It will be priced accordingly.

Glad to hear you're excited about it. So are we!

That's good :-).

 Does it contain DACs? ...not clear to me from the architecture brief.

Yes

INTELLIGENT ANALOG

PSoC 4 features a high performance SAR ADC with12-bit resolution
sampling at 1 Msps providing zero-overhead sequencing and differential
capability. This combined with other analog resources including Op-Amps,
Comparators, IDACs, and a Precision Voltage Reference allow you to build a
fully custom, analog signal-chain via flexible routing.

 I'm more exited about their low power features.

I would also love to see a PSOC4 in small form factor. I don't expect to see somethiing like the CSP from freescale or silabs' 10-QFN  but a PSOC in 12-SOIC or 16-SSOP would be really cool.

 They have the PSoC4 kit for $25. Interesting..... :-)

 Looks like we have to have a sub forun for PSoC4,,,, :-)

There is a PSOC 4 Forum.

Regards, Dana.

No, this is PSoC4-thread in a PSoC-Creator forum...

 A separate forum has been created for discussions around the newly annouced PSoC 4 Architecture, and the PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit.

I also encourage you to read Cypress CEO T.J. Rodgers' annual letter, which highlights the PSoC 4 on the front cover!

The images all show a full speed USB component...

 32kb flash, 4kb ram, enought for most applications. The 44-TQFP with 0.8 pitch will the easiet psoc to hand solder.

 @PSoC73

most probably USB will come in higher end models.

I'm sure that a Creator update has to follow soon, too much has to be changed to introduce PSoC4: every usermodule has to be adapted and checked! What did they say? 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent transpiration. So now it's cypress 99-percent-time, I poresume.

This project is from a newer version of Creator. 2.2CP5 knows itself as "2.2 Component Pack 5" / "2.2.0.293", whereas this new version calls itself "2.2 Service Pack 1 Nightly Build 558" / "2.2.0.558". Looks like an internal release right now.

The manual states that there will be PSoC4 modules for the -001 kit. There seems to be no equivalent to the -030/050 kits, which kind of makes sense. The PSoC4 is not designed for accurate analog applications...
