PSoC® 1


PSoC® 1 is the world's first Programmable embedded System-on-Chip integrating configurable analog and digital peripheral functions, memory, and a microcontroller on a single chip. Powered by Cypress's proprietary 8-bit M8C core, the PSoC 1 portfolio of devices provides the system designer analog integration, flexible IO routing and complete control of power consumption. Supported by an integrated development environment PSoC Designer™ and easy to use PSoC 1 development kits, PSoC 1 provides the most cost effective system solution for many 8-bit embedded designs.

Documentation



Datasheet
    The silicon datasheet covers key features of the device, brief operational details, pin out, electrical specifications and characterization graphs. It only focuses on the silicon features. Analog  functions (for e.g. ADC, DAC) and Digital  functions (for e.g. PWM, timer) are documented in the User Module Datasheets.
Errata
    The family errata documents operation deviation of device compared to the family datasheet. If certain feature doesn't work as expected it is documented in the errata document. It is very critical that user refers to corresponding errata document as it will document critical issues and workarounds for the device.
Programming Specifications
    The PSoC® 1 In-System Serial Programming Specification provides programming timing and vectors so that developers and programmer vendors can create their own in-system programming solutions for a PSoC 1 device. The specifications are provided in 3 Application Notes (AN2026A/B/C) with 2 additional Application Notes (AN44168, AN59389) providing working easy to follow example code.<expand>
PSoC 1 Programmers
    The General PSoC Programming web page is central location that details all aspects of programming related to all available PSoC devices like Software, Engineering Programmers, Programming Specifications and Production Programming Vendors.
Technical Reference Manual
    The PSoC 1 Technical Reference Manual provides detailed information on the device features and how they work. It is intended for advanced user's who want to understand what's going on under the hood.

 



Training



Trainings On-Demand
    Training on-demand is web-based training that can be used to learn new subjects at your own pace and time. They are usually between 15 minutes to 2 hours
Webinars
    Webinars are live web-based events featuring a presenter on a live topic and attendees have the opportunity to interact with the presenter and ask questions. Webinars are archived and can be watched later.
Videos
    Webinars are live web-based events featuring a presenter on a live topic and attendees have the opportunity to interact with the presenter and ask questions. Webinars are archived and can be watched later.
Blogs
    Blogs are informal communication for Cypress to interact with its customers. Different blogs focus on different topics. The PSoC Insiders blog is maintained by the PSoC Applications team and focus on provided training on various topics.
Books
    Designers Guide to the Cypress PSoC (Paperback) by Robert Ashby

    Embedded design expert Robert Ashby will guide you through the entire PSoC world, providing thorough coverage of device feature, design, programming and development of the software-reconfigurable PSoC. He shares his best tips, tricks, and techniques that will help you to utilize the flexible and inexpensive PSoC to its greatest potential, with a minimum of heartaches and late nights.

Emulators PSoC1 Emulator Home Page The CY2315-DK IN-Circuit Emulation Development Kit
    PSoC 1 devices require an In-Circuit Emulator (ICE) to perform debugging using the CY3215-DK In-circuit Emulation Development Kit. Cypress Semiconductor provides multiple POD foot options (PDIP, QFN, SSOP, SOIC). The POD kits are listed under the CY3210- XXXX or CY3250 – XXXX naming conventions. Visit the  or click on the Title above to know more.

    Featured Kit: The CY2315 DK software interface allows the user to run, halt, and single step the processor code. It also allows the user to set complex event points. Event points can start and stop the trace memory on the ICE, as well as break the program execution.

    In addition to the CY3213 DK, different Emulation Pods are available to support the range of devices in the PSoC 1 family. They plug into (or are soldered onto) the user's circuit board to provide the physical interface. Pods are available for low-cost expansion of the ICE-Cube capability.
