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.
