PSoC® FirstTouch™ Embedded Design Starter Kit

Easy and Affordable Starter Kit to Accelerate Mixed-Signal Embedded Application Development

The Cypress PSoC FirstTouch starter kit provides a quick, easy, and affordable way for embedded customers to evaluate the integration, fl exibility, and real mixed-signal programmability of PSoC mixed-signal arrays. Without writing a single line of C or Assembly code, you can experience the power of PSoC mixed- signal arrays. Right-out-of-the box you can see a single PSoC device perform several designs — Cypress CapSense™ touch sensing, temperature sensing, light sensing, and CapSense™ proximity sensing. And with Cypress’s PSoC Express visual embedded system design tool, you can modify these designs as you wish or even create your own applications.
