Getting Started
The quickest way to understand PSoC silicon is to read this data
sheet and then use the PSoC Designer Integrated Development
Environment (IDE). This data sheet is an overview of the PSoC
integrated circuit and presents specific pin, register, and
electrical specifications.
For in depth information, along with detailed programming
details, see the PSoC® Programmable System-on-Chip™
Technical Reference Manual for CY8C28xxx PSoC devices.
For up to date ordering, packaging, and electrical specification
information, see the latest PSoC device data sheets on the web
at www.cypress.com/psoc.
Application Notes
Application notes are an excellent introduction to the wide variety
of
possible
PSoC
designs.

Documentation tab.
Development Kits
PSoC Development Kits are available online from Cypress at
www.cypress.com/shop and through a growing number of
regional and global distributors, which include Arrow, Avnet,
Digi-Key, Farnell, Future Electronics, and Newark.
Training
Free PSoC technical training (on demand, webinars, and
workshops) is available online at www.cypress.com/training. The
training covers a wide variety of topics and skill levels to assist
you in your designs.

Development Tools
PSoC Designer is a Microsoft® Windows-based, integrated
development
environment
for
the
Programmable
System-on-Chip (PSoC) devices. The PSoC Designer IDE runs
on Windows XP or Windows Vista.
This system provides design database management by project,
an integrated debugger with In-Circuit Emulator, in-system
programming support, and built in support for third party
assemblers and C compilers.
PSoC Designer also supports C language compilers developed
specifically for the devices in the PSoC family.
PSoC Designer Software Subsystems
System-Level View
A drag-and-drop visual embedded system design environment
based on PSoC Express. In the system level view you create a
model of your system inputs, outputs, and communication
interfaces. You define when and how an output device changes
state based upon any or all other system devices. Based upon
the design, PSoC Designer automatically selects one or more
PSoC Programmable System-on-Chip Controllers that match
your system requirements.
PSoC Designer generates all embedded code, then compiles
and links it into a programming file for a specific PSoC device.
Chip-Level View
The chip-level view is a more traditional integrated development
environment (IDE) based on PSoC Designer 4.4. Choose a base
device to work with and then select different onboard analog and
digital components called user modules that use the PSoC
blocks. Examples of user modules are ADCs, DACs, Amplifiers,
and Filters. Configure the user modules for your chosen
application and connect them to each other and to the proper
pins. Then generate your project. This prepopulates your project
with APIs and libraries that you can use to program your
application.
The device editor also supports easy development of multiple
configurations
and
dynamic
reconfiguration.
Dynamic
configuration allows for changing configurations at run time.
Hybrid Designs
You can begin in the system-level view, allow it to choose and
configure your user modules, routing, and generate code, then
switch to the chip-level view to gain complete control over
on-chip resources. All views of the project share a common code
editor, builder, and common debug, emulation, and programming
tools.
