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 offer cost-effective evaluation of PSoC Technology. Code and hardware are provided
for concept feasibility.
• Evaluation Kits: Technology evaluation and training tools to provide the end user with a basic
level of understanding on how the technology works and can be employed.
• Development Kits: A full-featured platform with hardware and software intended to support the
design effort from concept to verification.
• Programming Kits: Programming tools for the PSoC and in-circuit emulation; often bundled with
an evaluation board. A programming hardware tool is required for loading your program to the
PSoC device, and for debugging on the target. Models range in purpose from programming a
device on your desk to heavier duty programmers for use in a production environment.
• Kit Components & Accessories: Replacement parts, adaptors, special function daughter
modules, and more.
