CY8C24x23A Final Data Sheet
PSoC™ Overview
Getting Started
Development Tools
The Cypress MicroSystems PSoC Designer is a Microsoft®
Windows-based, integrated development environment for the
Programmable System-on-Chip (PSoC) devices. The PSoC
Designer IDE and application runs on Windows NT 4.0, Win-
dows 2000, Windows Millennium (Me), or Windows XP. (Refer-
ence the PSoC Designer Functional Flow diagram below.)
The quickest path to understanding the PSoC silicon is by read-
ing this data sheet and using the PSoC Designer Integrated
Development Environment (IDE). This data sheet is an over-
view of the PSoC integrated circuit and presents specific pin,
register, and electrical specifications. For in-depth information,
along with detailed programming information, reference the
PSoC™ Mixed Signal Array Technical Reference Manual.
PSoC Designer helps the customer to select an operating con-
figuration for the PSoC, write application code that uses the
PSoC, and debug the application. This system provides design
database management by project, an integrated debugger with
In-Circuit Emulator, in-system programming support, and the
CYASM macro assembler for the CPUs.
For up-to-date Ordering, Packaging, and Electrical Specification
information, reference the latest PSoC device data sheets on
the web at http://www.cypress.com/psoc.
Development Kits
PSoC Designer also supports a high-level C language compiler
developed specifically for the devices in the family.
Development Kits are available from the following distributors:
Digi-Key, Avnet, Arrow, and Future. The Cypress Online Store
at http://www.onfulfillment.com/cypressstore/ contains develop-
ment kits, C compilers, and all accessories for PSoC develop-
ment. Click on PSoC (Programmable System-on-Chip) to view
