Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: CY) today announced a new device
series in its PSoC® 1programmable
system-on-chip family. The new CY8C24x93
device series, the lowest-power and lowest-cost devices in the PSoC 1
family, is optimized for battery-powered applications, leveraging a 1.1
µA Standby mode and 100 nA Deep-Sleep mode to extend battery life. The
family integrates Full Speed USB 2.0 with a Serial Peripheral Interface
(SPI), enabling streamlined, cost-efficient design with programmable
serial bridges.
The CY8C24x93 PSoC 1 devices come in multiple small-footprint packaging
options, including a 3x3 mm2 QFN package. The devices
integrate a 10-bit ADC and two comparators, along with 16-bit timers.
The combination of the small package sizes and analog resources make the
family ideal for integrated, space-constrained system solutions that
involve basic analog signal processing, such as data loggers and
thermistor hubs. More information on the CY8C24x93 family is available
at www.cypress.com/go/CY8C24x93.
PSoC 1 devices are supported by Cypress’s revolutionary PSoC
Designer™ Integrated Design Environment (IDE). The IDE features
pre-verified, production-ready User Modules—free “Virtual Chips” within
a PSoC 1 device that replace and integrate multiple competitor chips to
create custom solutions. Designers can accelerate system bring-up and
time-to-market by dropping in user modules to implement a wide range of
functionality, including a Full Speed USB 2.0 slave, an SPI or I2C
interface, an incremental Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), or a
Seven-Segment LCD display.
“Our new PSoC 1 family’s low-power consumption, small QFN packages and
intelligent mix of peripherals make the devices a perfect fit for
portable data loggers, USB-to-SPI converters and much more,” said Kapil
Rai, Senior Director of PSoC 1 Products at Cypress. “Our PSoC 1 devices
deliver simplified design and fast time-to-market by leveraging
Cypress’s PSoC Designer 5.4 IDE and its drag-and-drop user modules.”
The CY8C24x93 family comes in 8-, 16-, and 32-KB Flash options. The
devices also support a wide operating range, allowing full analog and
digital operation from 1.71V to 5.5V.
Availability
The CY8C24x93 family is available starting at $0.50 each for 10,000 unit
quantities. Sample
and production
orders are available today.
Development Support
Demonstration kits are available for lead customers by contacting a
local Cypress sales representative or by emailing NPD@cypress.com.
Pre-orders for the Development kit start from September 12, 2013 at www.cypress.com
and at www.element14.com.
MCUs Can’t. PSoC Can.
PSoC solutions bring the flash-based equivalent of a field-programmable
ASIC to embedded designs without lead-time or NRE penalties. PSoC
integrates configurable analog and digital circuits with an on-chip
microcontroller, reducing component count and simplifying revisions. A
single PSoC device can integrate as many as 100 peripheral functions,
accelerating cycle time and improving quality while reducing board
space, power consumption, and system cost.
PSoC “future-proofs” designs, protecting them against last-minute
specifications changes. It enables firmware-based changes at any point
in the design cycle—even out in the field. All PSoC devices are
dynamically reconfigurable, enabling designers to transform resources
on-the-fly and to execute tasks with fewer ICs. For more information,
