CY8C22x13 Final Data Sheet PSoC™ Overview

PSoC Designer Software Subsystems

Device Editor

The Device Editor subsystem allows the user to select different onboard analog and digital components called user modules using the PSoC blocks. Examples of user modules are ADCs, DACs, Amplifiers, and Filters.

The device editor also supports easy development of multiple configurations and dynamic reconfiguration. Dynamic configu- ration allows for changing configurations at run time.

PSoC Designer sets up power-on initialization tables for selected PSoC block configurations and creates source code for an application framework. The framework contains software to operate the selected components and, if the project uses more than one operating configuration, contains routines to switch between different sets of PSoC block configurations at run time. PSoC Designer can print out a configuration sheet for a given project configuration for use during application pro- gramming in conjunction with the Device Data Sheet. Once the framework is generated, the user can add application-specific code to flesh out the framework. It’s also possible to change the selected components and regenerate the framework.

Design Browser

The Design Browser allows users to select and import precon- figured designs into the user’s project. Users can easily browse

acatalog of preconfigured designs to facilitate time-to-design. Examples provided in the tools include a 300-baud modem, LIN Bus master and slave, fan controller, and magnetic card reader.

Application Editor

In the Application Editor you can edit your C language and Assembly language source code. You can also assemble, com- pile, link, and build.

Assembler. The macro assembler allows the assembly code to be merged seamlessly with C code. The link libraries auto- matically use absolute addressing or can be compiled in relative mode, and linked with other software modules to get absolute addressing.

C Language Compiler. A C language compiler is available that supports Cypress MicroSystems’ PSoC family devices. Even if you have never worked in the C language before, the product quickly allows you to create complete C programs for the PSoC family devices.

The embedded, optimizing C compiler provides all the features of C tailored to the PSoC architecture. It comes complete with embedded libraries providing port and bus operations, standard keypad and display support, and extended math functionality.

Debugger

The PSoC Designer Debugger subsystem provides hardware in-circuit emulation, allowing the designer to test the program in a physical system while providing an internal view of the PSoC device. Debugger commands allow the designer to read and program and read and write data memory, read and write IO registers, read and write CPU registers, set and clear break- points, and provide program run, halt, and step control. The debugger also allows the designer to create a trace buffer of registers and memory locations of interest.

Online Help System

The online help system displays online, context-sensitive help for the user. Designed for procedural and quick reference, each functional subsystem has its own context-sensitive help. This system also provides tutorials and links to FAQs and an Online Support Forum to aid the designer in getting started.

Hardware Tools

In-Circuit Emulator

A low cost, high functionality ICE (In-Circuit Emulator) is avail- able for development support. This hardware has the capability to program single devices.

The emulator consists of a base unit that connects to the PC by way of the parallel or USB port. The base unit is universal and will operate with all PSoC devices. Emulation pods for each device family are available separately. The emulation pod takes the place of the PSoC device in the target board and performs full speed (24 MHz) operation.
