CY8CKIT-050 PSoC® 5LP Development Kit

Cypress's PSoC-based CapSense technology provides a flexible, efficient means for implementing highly differentiated and reliable capacitive sensing & proximity detection. CapSense allows for “cool” designs by replacing mechanical buttons with a sleeker, more refined interface for various applications in automotive including non- infotainment systems inside the car. Our devices also come equipped with industry standard protocols like LIN which make acceptance of these devices into automotive all the more easier.

As market leader, Cypress makes it easy for designers to merge new features with pre-existing mechanical platforms for functionality enhancement and vastly improved touch based interfaces.
Our fully programmable CapSensing solution means full flexibility for the designers and the GUI that comes with our devices guarantees ease of development.
 
Cypress Capacitive solutions ensure:

• Superior noise immunity and low radiated noise,
• Best in class CapSense performance with superior water proofing(on CSD),
• Ease of development and full programmability,
• Enabling integration through additional analog and digital peripherals on the same chip.

Typical applications include (but not limited to):
Sunroof control, Key fob, Doors and windows control, Side mirror control, Keyed entry systems, dome light of the car
