PSoC Programmer PSoC Programmer is a programming application that helps to deliver host-resident application code to the target via a hardware programming tool. Flexible enough to be used on the bench in development, yet suitable for factory programming, PSoC Programmer works as a standalone programming application TM TM or it can operate directly from PSoC Designer or PSoC Express . PSoC Programmer is the one-stop programming application for Cypress PSoC development tools. http://ww

PSoC Designer/Programmer Hardware This section introduces the major categories of hardware Cypress offers for development with PSoC. The hardware development for Cypress PSoC falls into five major categories: Demo/Starter Kits, Evaluation Kits, Development Kits, Reference Design Kits, and Programming Kits. Cypress Semiconductor also offers individual Accessories/Kit Components: • Demo/Starter Kits: Proof-of-Concept demonstration of technology and potential application. Starter kits

In-Circuit Emulation with PSoC TM. The In-circuit Emulator (ICE) is driven by the Debugger in PSoC Designer The software interface of the debugger allows the user to run, halt, and single-step the processor with the ICE. It also allows the user to set complex event points. Event points can start and stop the trace memory on the ICE, as well as break the program execution. The ICE can also serve as a single-site device programmer via an ISSP Cable and the MiniEval board includ

In-System Serial Programming The CY3207ISSP, ICE (CY3215-DK), and MiniProg1 (CY3210-MiniProg1) all allow easy In-System Serial Programming (ISSP). A cable is included in the ISSP Development Kit (CY3207ISSP.) All designers are encouraged to include ISSP capability on their printed circuit boards (PCBs.) ISSP is perfect for prototyping because it allows rapid reprogramming of the PSoC part mounted on the PCB and eliminates the need for multiple package-specific programmers. ISSP

Prototyping Modules (CY3210-2xxxx) PSoC Prototyping Modules are 28-pin PDIP adapters that seamlessly connect any PSoC device package-type to the 28- pin PDIP connector that is default on Cypress PSoC kits. Check the selection tables in the Kit Components and Accessories section of this document for a list of Prototyping Modules offered by Cypress. (Note: Prototyping Modules may sometimes be referred to as Evaluation PODs.) Prototyping Modules offer quick and easy prototyping
