Getting Started with the CY4632 Reference Design Kit
First of all, start planning for it early on. For USB, there are compliance workshops (“PlugFests”) run by the USB
Implementer’s Forum approximately once per quarter, but they can fill up quickly. Check the USB-IF website
(www.usb.org) for the date of upcoming compliance workshops and reserve a spot early. Also, don’t forget that
there is a checklist (available on the web) that must be filled out ahead of time and brought with you. This is also
a common oversight. The alternative to PlugFest is to use an approved test house to obtain your certification, but
there will of course be a cost for this.
It is important to understand the different types of USB compliance testing that exist, and how the design of an
USB device is impacted. To make certain that you have the most up to date information it is highly recommended
that you check the USB-IF website for current compliance policies.
Emission testing may also be performed by approved test house(s). Specific emission tests requirements
depend on which countries the final product may be sold.
Support
Hopefully this document has been successful in giving you the guidance that you need to begin work on your
design. The last thing to cover is how to get help when you need it. Almost everything that you need should be
included in the materials in this kit. If you can’t find it, or if the information you are looking for just isn’t here, then
it’s time to get help. There are a few places to go, depending on your preferences or the type of help that you
need.
First of all, check the web for updates. We have a section for Development Kits that will probably contain general
kit items, but there are also sections for Application Notes, Software Downloads, and other types of content. All of
these types of content should be accessible by starting under the Product Family of WirelessUSB.
Next is the Cypress Knowledge Base. This is an on-line system that has a collection of frequently asked
questions and answers. Look for it under www.cypress.com/support and search for your topic.
If you don’t find what you need in the Knowledge Base, then you can submit a question on-line through our Case
Management System. You can also access this system from www.cypress.com/support. Enter your question and
our Applications Engineering team will get back to you with a response. They usually follow up within 24 hours,
although some cases may take longer depending upon the nature of the question.
In addition, it is possible to reach Applications Engineering by phone. Dial (800)-541-4736 or (408)-943-2600 and
enter 8 for support.
Also please keep your Cypress Sales Representative and Field Applications Engineer informed. Your local FAE
may be able to provide on-site assistance to help you resolve your problem. If nothing else, they can serve as
liaison to the internal factory resources to manage requests for assistance.
