• The "Getting started with CapSense Design guide" is the starting point for any new CapSense design which provides the user with an overview and methodology for the best device selection.

• The CapSense Express with SmartSense demo video walks viewers through the features of Cypress's CapSense® Express™ technology, including SmartSense™ which automatically tunes touch-sensing "buttons" when capacitance is changed. No software or firmware development is required.This is an ideal starting point for first time users of CapSense products

• Evaluate CapSense Express, solution, CY8CMBR2044-24LKXI ,the world's easiest Capacitive sensing solution.
• The CY8CMBR2044 solution provides up to four hardware configurable CapSense buttons with direct LED drive capability. The CY3280-MBR kit evaluates the CY8CMBR2044.

The family datasheet is intended to provide a quick reference to a specific CapSense device family.

Family Design guides provide design guidance for a particular device family. It is intended for design engineers who are familiar with capacitive sensing technology and have chosen a specific family of devices for their applications.

Family application notes provide designers with explanation to specific topics such as implementation , best pratices etc., that help with simplification of CapSense designs.

Family user module datasheets describe features and overview of user modules specific to a CapSense device.

Technical Reference Manuals provide detailed information on device features and is intended to be a technical reference to clarify device behavior.

Family programming specifications provide information on hardware connections required for programming, while developing your own CapSense design.

Family code examples demonstrate step by step processes involved in developing codes for specific operations.

These articles are a collection of knowledge in the form of subject-problem-solution information that pertains to a specific topic or subject of interest.

The family errata documents deviation from a specified operation of a device, when compared to its published datasheet.

The CY3280-MBR Kit is the lowest entry level kit. It is intended to quickly familiarize a new user with the simplest CapSense device, the CY8CMBR2044.

These kits have prototyping area and expansion board capabilities. They are designed to evaluate device capability, however, their primary purpose is to accelerate the development cycle by providing a hardware platform for firmware development before an application specific board is designed.

Pods: In circuit Emulation (ICE) Pods are meant for device de-bugging and are available for specific families.
