PSoC Designer

Accelerate Your Device Configuration

Global Resource settings in PSoC Designer enable you to configure system level registers through an easy to use graphical user interface. This unique approach enables rapid system level configuration without manually writing system configuration registers. No more arcane boot code to hack nor processor architectures to learn!

This application note discusses all the resources available and their corresponding settings. It also carefully explains which registers are affected by your selections and recommends some best practices for first time success and long-term maintainability.

Use PSoC Designer to unlock the power of PSoC.
