Development Kit for Cypress's New PSoC 4 Architecture Now Available Globally for Pre-Order from Premier Farnell
LONDON, April 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Premier Farnell and Cypress Semiconductor Corp . (NASDAQ: CY) announced today that
customers can now pre-order the new PSoC(R) 4 Pioneer Development Kit from element14. The
powerful new kit costs only $25, and lets designers discover the capabilities of the new
PSoC 4 programmable system-on-chip architecture, which combines Cypress's best-in-class
PSoC analog and digital fabric with ARM(R)'s power-efficient Cortex(TM)-M0 core.
The PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit is highly expandable. It includes connectors for
Arduino-compatible shields and Digilent(R) PMOD(TM) daughter cards, enabling customers to
pick from a variety of third-party expansion boards. In addition, an onboard PSoC 5LP
device serves as the programmer and debugger, eliminating the need for external
programmers.
"PSoC 4 is a game-changing product that marries PSoC's unique programmable analog and
digital fabric with the powerful, economical ARM Cortex-M0 processor," said John Weil,
senior director of PSoC Marketing for Cypress. "This new PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit is the perfect
development platform for this architecture because it provides tremendous functionality at
a low price. We're very pleased to partner with Premier Farnell to help satisfy pent-up
demand for this product from customers who want to be among the first to try PSoC 4."
"The PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit is exactly the type of innovative product that our customers
want: flexible, cost-effective and expandable with open-source architectures," said David
Shen, Group CTO at Premier Farnell. "We are extremely pleased to collaborate with Cypress
to introduce this new product to the market and excited about the opportunities this
versatile new product brings to the design engineers. As the first channel partner taking
pre-orders for this kit, we're expecting it to be in very high demand by designers
everywhere."
The new PSoC 4 device class will challenge proprietary 8-bit and 16-bit
microcontrollers (MCUs), along with other 32-bit devices. Cypress's platform solution PSoC
4, PSoC Creator and PSoC Components simplifies and accelerates the design process, reduces
bills of material, and provides extraordinary system value. A single PSoC device can
integrate as many as 100 peripheral functions, and "future-proofs" designs, enabling
designers to transform resources on-the-fly.
