Development and Programming Methods

Currently there are four ways to program a PSoC:

•Prototype programming

•Full-featured in-circuit emulation

•Production programming

•Cypress factory programming for high volume orders**

**Factory programming of a PSoC device by Cypress Semiconductor requires a contract with a minimum order of 100Ku parts per year. Please contact your local Cypress sales office for more information.

The following diagram demonstrates one example of a set-up to program a specific PSoC device from a host PC through a USB cable to the ICE, which connects via Flexcable to the POD, which may be seated with a package adaptor (foot) and a PSoC device on a board. These are al the pieces you would need to implement in-circuit emulation.

PSoC Designer

USB ICE Flexcable POD Foot Board

In the above example, the devices could be described as the following:

ƒ	QFN Emulation Kit:	1	Flexcable, 1	QFN-type Pod, 2 Feet (for flat-pack style pkgs)
ƒ	Non-QFN Emulation Kit:	1	Flexcable, 1	Pod, 2 Feet (all other chip packages)
ƒ	POD:	Two types of emulation Pods exist: for QFN and non-QFN PSoC
		packages.
ƒ	FOOT:	Quantity of 4 PSoC device package adapters (FEET)
ƒ	Flexcable Kit:	1	Flexible Cable

The POD seats a PSoC chip for emulation, and the Foot is a package adapter. You can choose a POD and Foot for your chosen PSoC device/package from the table in the appendix.

You may want to order extra feet even if the default feet in your emulator kit (PDIP/QFN) match the package type of your particular PSoC part number.
