Cypress Semiconductor has introduced version 2.0 of its PSoC Creator Design Environment for the PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 programmable system-on-chip families. The software now interoperates with the popular and powerful Keil μVision 4 integrated development environment (IDE). The integration of the two tools means that PSoC designs can be rapidly drawn, configured and built in PSoC Creator, and the application code built in the familiar and feature-rich μVision 4 IDE.
The new version also adds 11 new, pre-configured peripheral components that can easily be dropped into the schematic design canvas and combined into powerful systems. Behind the scenes, Cypress has updated PSoC Creator’s design routing functionality. The new, timing-driven routing enables customers to increase clock speed on many designs by 20% or more, and increases the effective capacity of the PSoC device.
New peripherals include S/PDIF for digital audio, serial GPIO for hard disk drives, a fan controller, a voltage sequencer and an external memory interface, among others. PSoC Creator now includes more than 80 analog and digital components in its portfolio. With new components being developed continuously, Cypress content is now organised into ‘component packs,’ allowing new peripheral functionality to be released approximately every six weeks without requiring users to update the tool itself.
