PSoC Designer 5.3 contains a host of upgrades to make the software easier to learn for and easier to use. New features include:
Download Help


Auto-routing: Vastly simplifies wiring the connections in the chip view, making it easier to learn for beginners and quicker to use for experts. Simply shift+click on a block port and a number of glowing, golden lines will show you all the possible destinations. A second click on one of those highlighted locations and you're done! This works on analog routes as well as digital routes, block-to-block or block-to-pin.

Upgraded device catalog: It is now far quicker and easier to find the device for your project. You can filter the device list based on chip characteristics (such as pin count, package or available peripherals) or by typing in a substring of your part number. You can also save frequently used devices as favorite and see the supported user module list for any device at a glance.

Cleaner user module customization: Designer 5.3 makes it far simpler to customize user modules, providing two ways to modify their behavior. First, user modules can be copied and renamed, allowing users to change the hardware configuration or APIs. These customer user modules become part of your UM library and may be used in any PSoC Designer project. You can also export these customer user modules to a single zip file and import them into any other version of Designer 5.3 or later.

For smaller changes, we have also made it easier to change the APIs for a user module instance in your project. Simply right-click on your user module instance and you can lock it, preventing any future “Generate Project” commands from over-writing your changes.

Other ease-of-use enhancements: Cypress applications engineers have specified 12 user interface changes to make the chip view more readable and usable, including the ability to zoom with the scrollwheel. In addition, we have streamlined the project creation GUI, minimizing excess clicks. Finally, we give you the ability archive your projects.

New User Modules

PSoC Designer 5.3 contains a 8 completely new user modules. Four of the existing user modules have received significant upgrades as well.

VoltageSequencer allows you to control the ramp rates and delays between your power supplies with a simple GUI.

SMBusSlave allows your PSoC to communicate with this widely used system management protocol.

FanController will control up to four fans using hardware PWM blocks in either open loop or closed loop (with tachometer) modes.

Thermistor provides the hardware interface and software APIs to measure temperature with compensation via lookup table or the Steinhart-Hart equation.

SmartSense2X eliminates the need for tuning in your dual-channel CapSense solutions. Available for CY8C2xx45 devices.

CSD2X has been enhanced to provide support for background scanning and FMEA support, which detects faults in your system.

GasSensorAFE implements a bias circuit and transimpedance amplifier to measure the output of a 3-lead electrochemical sensor with current output.

SwitchCapConfig allows easier configuration of the programmable analog blocks such that you can quickly build amplifiers, integrators and comparators with them.

EzADC streamlines the setup of your ADCs, minimizing the possibility of erroneous clocking or sample rates.

Finally, the filter accuracy of LPF2 and BPF2 have been improved up to 5%

Installation Notes

PSoC Designer 5.3 will co-exist with your previous versions of PSoC Designer. You do not need to uninstall those previous versions, and this new version will not impact the existing ones in any way

If you need help downloading or installing, please call our support line at 1-800-541-4736 and select 8 at the voice prompt.

Linked above are the Software Downloads and User Guides for the ISSP Programming Software.

The ISSP programmer programs PSoC(R) ICs with .hex files created with the Cypress PSoC Designer(TM) software. The programmer programs a PSoC chip mounted on your PCB, one at a time. It connects to your PCB with a 5-wire cable and to your PC with a USB cable. Programming operation can be automated by incorporating the programmer into a PC-based test system. The tester software communicates with the programmer-control software through a command-line interface. The ISSP programmer can also be operated manually using the supplied Windows-based GUI software.
