Overview

EasyPSoC4 is a development system that supports a wide range of PSoC microcontrollers.

High-Performance On-Board USB 2.0 Programmer

Very fast, on-board USB 2.0 programmer with a simplified driver installation.

MMC/SD cards enable you to add mass storage support to your prototype device.

EasyPSoC MCU Cards support PSoC microcontrollers in QFN, SOIC, SSOP and TQFP packages.

On-board stand-alone CAN (Control Area Network) controller MCP2510.

EasyPSoC4 includes an on-board Touch Screen controller with a Touch Panel connector.

What's On-Board

RS-232 communication with a PC or a microcontroller is performed via DB9 connectors.

System can be easily configured by means of DIP switches. Each DIP switch configures one part of the system.

Temperature Sensor DS1820 measures temperature from -55°C to 125°C. It is connected to the system via socket.

System provides support for PSoC devices in DIP8, DIP20, DIP28 and DIP48 packages. It comes with a CY8C27643.

3 potentiometers are used for testing multiple A/D conversions. Inputs can be configured via jumpers.

USB or external power supply source is selected by moving a jumper. Power supply switch turns the system on/off.

On-board CAN module is used for communication with other microcontrollers.

All pins are connected to the IDC10 connectors for further expansion.

64 LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are used to indicate the logic state of all microcontroller pins.

Real-Time Clock (RTC) PFC8583 with a battery supply is used to keep track of the current time even when the MCU is off.

64 push buttons are used to excite microcontroller digital inputs.

RS485 communication module is used for connecting more devices to 485 network.

Fast, on-board USB 2.0 programmer. There is no need to connect the external programmer.

LCD can be easily connected via the on-board connector. This connector is also connected to MCU pins.

LCD Contrast Potentiometer is used to adjust LCD contrast in a fast and easy way.

Touch Screen can be connected to the board via the Touch Screen Connector. There is also a Touch Screen controller.

External power supply can be DC or AC. The on-board jumper is used for selecting external power supply.

Graphic LCD 128x64 can be easily connected via the on-board connector that is also connected to MCU pins.

MMC\SD card slot enables you to add mass storage using MMC\SD memory cards.

Voltage level to be applied when a button is pressed (GND or +5V) is selected by means of the on-board jumper.

Reset circuit is used to reset the microcontroller. It is connected to the MCLR pin of the microcontroller.

On-Board USB 2.0 Programmer

On-board USB 2.0 programmer PSoCprog2 doesn't use a bootloader or any similar software for programming. The whole PSoC memory and all pins are available to you. This is a fast USB PSoC In-System programmer perfect for your future projects.

PSoCprog2 Programmer is driven by a single USB port on a PC. No additional AC power adapter is needed. The programmer is recognized by Windows, which simplifies the driver installation. The programmer board is specifically designed for In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP).

Windows^® Certified Drivers

Drivers for the on-board programmer are Microsoft^® Windows^® XP, Windows^® Vista and Windows^® 7 certified. The Windows certificate is a proof that the programmer supports mentioned Windows operating systems and is immediately recognized by the system, which guarantees correct Plug and Play functionality. Driver certification provides users with a wide range of benefits such as stable functioning, the ability to install and delete drivers without rebooting and compatibility with future versions of Windows.

Supported Microcontrollers

The EasyPSoC4 development system supports a wide range of PSoC microcontrollers. Newly released PSoC microcontrollers will be supported by a new version of PSoCprog software that is updated regularly. Here is a list of microcontrollers supported by the EasyPSoC4 development system:
