BRINGING PROGRAMMABILITY TO THE MASSES

Most Reconfigurable ARM Cortex-M0

You can now build a custom mixed-signal SoC with programmable analog and digital
blocks combined with flexible routing and interconnects. PSoC

4 lets you redesign and

rebuild your project as many times as your rapidly changing requirements. Cypress’s
extended partnership with ARM

enables you to future-proof your solutions based on

standard MCU subsystems made feature-rich with unique PSoC programmability.

Truly Scalable Architecture

You can replace your entire portfolio of proprietary MCU-based solutions and migrate
your legacy 8- and 16-bit designs to a single 32-bit platform with PSoC 4. This platform is
fully scalable and infinitely reconfigurable with the flexibility of PSoC and the broad ARM
ecosystem. It is the perfect fit for each solution and allows seamless migration across device
families, without the need to recreate IP or learn new design tools.

Limitless Possibilities With PS

C Creator

PSoC 4 leverages PSoC Creator

– an easy to use, yet powerful graphical system

design-based IDE enabling designers to drag-and-drop pre-characterized, production-ready
analog and digital IP blocks – PSoC Components

– into a single PSoC device to create

customized, feature-rich, and highly differentiated products.

PSoC 4 Architecture

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

As the PSoC with the smallest ARM processor available, PSoC 4 provides high performance with the lowest-
power consumption. It enables you to migrate your proprietary MCU designs to a single 32-bit platform
architecture from a single vendor, while reducing your BOM cost through intelligent integration of analog ICs.

INTELLIGENT ANALOG

PSoC 4 features a high performance SAR ADC with12-bit resolution sampling at 1 Msps
providing zero-overhead sequencing and differential capability. This combined with other
analog resources including Op-Amps, Comparators, IDACs, and a Precision Voltage
Reference allow you to build a fully custom, analog signal-chain via flexible routing.

– CYPRESS DOES IT BEST

With over four billion buttons replaced with CapSense

, Cypress is the unrivaled leader in capacitive

touch sensing. With PSoC 4, you get the industry’s most advanced capacitive sensing algorithm,
SmartSense

Auto-Tuning, combined for the first time with a Cortex-M0 microcontroller. This enables

you to enhance your legacy designs with next-generation touch sensing technology, while also giving
you the performance and flexibility of a 32-bit ARM-based architecture.

ARE YOU AWAKE?

The secret to making low-power devices is by ensuring that your designs have
minimal leakage and the best sleep modes. PSoC 4 sets the industry standard with
the lowest-power stop mode consuming only 20 nA while still retaining its ability
to wake up, complemented by an extremely low-power retention sleep mode that
draws only 150 nA without disturbing SRAM data.

WHAT IS PS

INTEGRATE. ACCELERATE. LIBERATE

Cypress’s PSoC programmable system-on-chip is the world’s only programmable embedded system-on-chip (SoC) that integrates
configurable analog and digital peripheral functions, memory, and a microcontroller on a single chip. With an extremely flexible
visual embedded design methodology that includes preconfigured, user-defined peripherals and hierarchical schematic entry,
PSoC allows you to design fully customizable and extremely reliable solutions.
