Product Selector Guide

Cypress's PSoC Analog Coprocessor simplifies the design of sensor-based systems by delivering a scalable and reconfigurable architecture that integrates programmable analog front ends (AFEs) and a signal processing engine (32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M0+) that can calibrate and tune the AFE in software.

The PSoC Analog Coprocessor enables designs to send aggregated, pre-processed, and formatted sensor data over serial communication interfaces to host processors.

Product Highlights:

  • Features programmable Analog Blocks like Opamps, Comparators, ADCs to create custom Analog Front Ends (AFE) for sensor interfaces
  • Introduces the new programmable Universal Analog Block that can be configured as Analog Filters, high-resolution ADCs, and more
  • Includes a 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M0+ Signal Processing Engine with a DMA controller
  • Features embedded peripherals including Timer/Counter/PWM blocks and Serial Communication Blocks (UART/SPI/I2C)

PSoC Creator

PSoC Creator is an Integrated Design Environment (IDE) which allows concurrent hardware and application firmware design of PSoC 3, PSoC 4 and PSoC 5LP systems. PSoC systems are designed using classic, familiar schematic capture supported by over 120 pre-verified, production-ready PSoC Components™.

This release of PSoC Creator adds Beta support for the new PSoC Analog Coprocessor devices and includes prototype PSoC Components. With the upcoming updates to the IDE, additional PSoC Components featuring the new programmable analog blocks will be released as Component Packs. Examples of upcoming Components include a 12/16-bit ScanADC with Analog Filtering, a 12-bit Voltage DAC, and a 14-bit Delta Sigma ADC.
