DESIGN FREEDOM.
BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY.
You’re not waiting for the next big thing to come along. You’re designing it. Cypress’s
PSoC
®
programmable system-on-chip platform gives you the freedom to imagine
revolutionary new products and the capability to get to market faster than anyone else.
PSoC is a true
programmable embedded SoC
integrating configurable analog and digital
peripheral functions, memory and a microcontroller on a single chip. With an extremely
flexible visual embedded design methodology that includes preconfigured, user-defined
peripherals and hierarchical schematic entry, you can change your mind as often as you
want and stay on schedule. No more restarting projects from scratch. No more catalogs.
No more limitations.
EXPANDING PSoC ARCHITECTURES
Cypress’s breakthrough
PSoC 3 and PSoC 5
architectures extend the world’s
only programmable embedded system design platform, shattering your design limitations.
Take advantage of high-precision programmable analog including 12-bit SAR and 20-bit
delta-sigma ADCs, a digital logic library with dozens of drop-in peripherals, best-in-class
power management and rich connectivity resources. Implement your 8-, 16-, or 32-bit designs
with the high-performance 8051 or advanced ARM
®
Cortex
™
-M3 processors.
Cypress’s
PSoC 1
architecture provides access to truly programmable analog and digital
resources on a single chip. PSoC 1 is Cypress’s entry-level PSoC family that provides a
single-chip solution for your application.
With Cypress’s PSoC programmable system-on-chip, the possibilities are endless. It’s
breakthrough design without constraints.
Cypress introduces PSoC 5LP ARM Cortex-M3 devices, designed to offer 0.5 V
startup with integrated boost, 300 nA low leakage Hibernate mode and more than
twenty programmable analog components including best-in-class ADCs.

C is an entirely new embedded
design platform that incorporates
the best of the analog, digital and
microcontroller worlds.
The ARM Cortex-M3 based 32-bit PSoC 5LP series of low-power
programmable system on chip devices offer unmatched precision
analog and the flexibility to design custom system on chips with the
easy to use PSoC

Creator
™
software. This improves innovation and
shortens design schedules.
Cypress’s scalable PSoC platform
adapts to your design needs,
so
you don’t have to constantly change your design to accommodate
different MCU architectures.
Using PSoC’s flexible design software, you can create custom
chips in hours rather than months, at a fraction of the cost of
traditional processes. Create the mix of peripherals you want on
your chip, select whichever pin you want, and you’re done—at
least until someone changes the specs. Even then, with PSoC, you
only have to add or change a block to accommodate late
alterations. You don’t have to start from scratch or go back to the
catalog to select a new MCU or discrete peripherals. Sure,
change orders will still be annoying, but with PSoC, there won’t be
a major delay to your project schedule.

Unmatched integration makes PSoC the fastest
way to reduce the size, weight, and power
requirements of your product. Dynamic
reconfiguration lets you reduce testing costs by
enabling dynamically configurable board
self-tests. Additionally, one PSoC integrates as
many as 100 peripheral functions, so you can:
• Reduce BOM costs
• Maximize functionality
• Improve reliability
• Streamline manufacturing

YOU CAN:
• Reduce R&D costs and cycle time with
technology that doesn’t force you to lock in
design specifications up front.
• Eliminate or reduce debugging and minimize
coding, with pre-characterized, pre-verified
modules and components.
• Reuse designs across platforms.
• Cut manufacturing, assembly, and test costs
by shrinking PCBs.
MAKE MORE MONEY, FASTER
• Future-proof your products with field-
upgradable PSoC technology, reducing
costly, troublesome service calls.
• Create competitive barriers to entry with
scalable designs.
• Protect your IP by making your designs
harder to reverse-engineer.
The more innovative the design, the more likely
it is to be copied. Unlike discrete components,
or fixed-function peripherals, PSoC devices
integrate and conceal key analog and digital
components within a single chip. Thus, they
are harder to reverse-engineer, making
copying prohibitively expensive.
