PSoC^® 4700S MCUs and Evaluation Kit Support Next-generation UIs and Industrial Designs

SAN JOSE, Calif., September 18, 2018—Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: CY), the embedded solutions leader, today announced production availability of the PSoC^® 4700S series of microcontrollers (MCUs) that use MagSense™ inductive sensing technology for contactless metal sensing. The series also incorporates Cypress’ industry-leading CapSense^® capacitive-sensing technology, empowering consumer, industrial, and automotive product developers to create sleek, state-of-the-art designs using metals and other materials. The highly-integrated MCUs enable cost-efficient system designs by reducing bill-of-material costs and provide superior noise immunity for reliable operation, even in extreme environmental conditions. More information on the PSoC 4700S series is available at https://www.cypress.com/PSoC4700.

Cypress also announced availability of the new CY8CKIT-148 PSoC 4700S Inductive Sensing Evaluation Kit, a low-cost hardware platform that enables design and debug of the MCUs. The kit includes MagSense inductive-sensing buttons and a proximity sensor, as well as an FPC connector to evaluate various coils, such as a rotary encoder. The PSoC 4700S series is supported in Cypress’ PSoC Creator™ Integrated Design Environment (IDE), which allows users to drag and drop production-ready hardware blocks, including the MagSense inductive sensing capability, into a design and configure them easily via a simple graphical user interface.

The PSoC 4700S MCUs integrate:

• a 32-bit Arm^® Cortex^®-M0+ core
• up to 32KB Flash and 4KB SRAM
• 36 GPIOs
• 7 programmable analog blocks
• 7 programmable digital blocks
• support for up to 16 sensors, enabling implementation of buttons, linear and rotary encoders, and proximity sensing.

Availability

The CY8CKIT-148 PSoC 4700S Inductive Sensing Evaluation Kit is available for $49 at the Cypress online store and from select distributors. More information on the kit, the PSoC 4700S series and MagSense inductive sensing is available at https://www.cypress.com/CY8CKIT-148.
