Overview

The CY8CKIT-059 is a low-cost prototyping platform featuring the PSoC 5LP, a programmable system-on-chip that combines high-precision analog, programmable digital logic, and an ARM Cortex-M3 core. This kit includes a unique snap-away programmer and debugger based on the KitProg hardware, allowing for easy integration into custom projects. The board layout is designed to be breadboard-friendly with all I/O pins brought out to headers.

Why Choose This Part

The PSoC 5LP architecture offers unparalleled flexibility by allowing engineers to define custom analog and digital peripherals in software. This kit provides a complete development solution including an on-board debugger that can be detached and used with other PSoC targets via a 10-pin header.

Applications

Custom Digital Logic
Utilizing the Universal Digital Blocks (UDBs) to implement custom hardware peripherals without CPU overhead.
Precision Analog Sensing
Leveraging the 20-bit Delta-Sigma ADC and programmable op-amps for high-resolution sensor interfacing.
Legacy System Integration
Using the flexible internal routing to map any signal to any pin, simplifying PCB layout when interfacing with fixed-pinout legacy hardware.
USB Peripheral Development
Creating custom USB HID, CDC, or Audio devices using the integrated Full-Speed USB controller.

Getting Started

Develop applications using PSoC Creator IDE, which provides a schematic-based design entry for configuring the internal programmable hardware. Connect the board directly to a USB port for programming and debugging via the integrated KitProg. Comprehensive component datasheets and example projects are accessible directly within the IDE environment.
