The PSoC family consists of many Programmable System-on-Chip with on-chip controller devices. These devices are designed to replace multiple traditional microcontroller unit (MCU)-based system components with one low-cost single-chip programmable component. A PSoC device includes configurable analog and digital blocks and a programmable interconnect. This architecture enables the user to create customized peripheral configurations to match the requirements of each individual application. Additionally, a fast CPU, flash program memory, SRAM data memory, and configurable I/O are included in a range of convenient pinouts. Each CY8C20x34 PSoC device includes a dedicated CapSense block that provides sensing and scanning control circuitry for capacitive sensing applications. Depending on the PSoC package, up to 13 GPIOs are also included. The GPIOs provide access to the MCU and analog mux.
Features
PSoC (Programmable System-on-Chip) is a family of microcontroller devices developed by Cypress Semiconductor. These devices are highly configurable and customizable, allowing engineers to create custom solutions for a wide range of applications. Some of the features of PSoC include:
