]]> Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:26:59 -0600 PSoC Designer 5.3 Available Now! http://www.cypress.com/?rID=70510 You may have noticed that Cypress Update Manager has notified you of a new PSoC Designer download available. We know a lot of Designer users want to hang on to their existing version of the software, so please be aware that installing PSoC Designer 5.3 will not impact the functionality of any previously installed versions of Designer.

]]> Tue, 09 Oct 2012 23:30:11 -0600 Power Line Transceiver User Module Now Available on CY8C29xxx Devices! http://www.cypress.com/?rID=69848 We've just made power line communication easier than ever. With the today's release of PSoC Designer 5.3, you can now use the PLT (Power Line Transceiver) user module on any CY8C29xxx family device.

]]> Fri, 28 Sep 2012 17:07:29 -0600 Brand New Device Catalog Coming http://www.cypress.com/?rID=69737 The next major improvement in Designer 5.3 is the device catalog. We ve completely rewritten how you select your device to make it quicker and easier to find the right PSoC for your project. You can now filter the list based on device characteristics (such as pin count, package or available peripherals) or by typing in a substring of your part number. In the image below, for example, the list has been filtered to show only the 28pin SSOP CapSensePlus parts (they support CapSense and 4 or more digital blocks).

On the right side of the window, you can see the pinout and list of supported user modules for the selected device.

Note for power users: if you know a portion of the MPN for the device you want to use, you can also just type it in the Find box in the top of the window, and the list will filter live as you type. You can also right-click a device in the catalog to add it to your favorites. These two methods are the quickest ways to select your device.

]]> Wed, 26 Sep 2012 23:54:35 -0600 PSoC Designer 5.3 Preview #1 - Auto-Routing! http://www.cypress.com/?rID=68512 (With Designer 5.3 just a month away, we've decided to start previewing the new features here on the PSoC Designer Blog (also displayed on the Designer Start Page). Every few days we'll tell you about another of the many new features in Designer 5.3. First up? Auto-routing!)

Tired of clicking on one interconnect row after another, trying to get all your signals to where they need to go? With Designer 5.3, you're done with that! Just 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. This will make Designer quicker for your new engineers to learn, and make life easier for the veteran users.

A final note: If you like the control of personally routing your signals, have no fear! We haven't removed any of the existing manual routing features.
