Data Sheet
7.1.3 Example System Function Components
The following is a sample of the system function components
available in PSoC Creator for the CY8C36 family. The exact
amount of hardware resources (UDBs, DFB taps, SC/CT blocks,
routing, RAM, flash) used by a component varies with the
features selected in PSoC Creator for the component.
 CapSense
 LCD Drive
 LCD Control
 Filters
7.1.4 Designing with PSoC Creator
7.1.4.1 More Than a Typical IDE
A successful design tool allows for the rapid development and
deployment of both simple and complex designs. It reduces or
eliminates any learning curve. It makes the integration of a new
design into the production stream straightforward.
PSoC Creator is that design tool.
PSoC Creator is a full featured Integrated Development
Environment (IDE) for hardware and software design. It is
optimized specifically for PSoC devices and combines a modern,
powerful software development platform with a sophisticated
graphical design tool. This unique combination of tools makes
PSoC Creator the most flexible embedded design platform
available.
Graphical design entry simplifies the task of configuring a
particular part. You can select the required functionality from an
extensive catalog of components and place it in your design. All
components are parameterized and have an editor dialog that
allows you to tailor functionality to your needs.
PSoC Creator automatically configures clocks and routes the I/O
to the selected pins and then generates APIs to give the
application complete control over the hardware. Changing the
PSoC device configuration is as simple as adding a new
component, setting its parameters, and rebuilding the project.
At any stage of development you are free to change the
hardware configuration and even the target processor. To
retarget your application (hardware and software) to new
devices, even from 8- to 32-bit families, just select the new
device and rebuild.
You also have the ability to change the C compiler and evaluate
an alternative. Components are designed for portability and are
validated against all devices, from all families, and against all
supported tool chains. Switching compilers is as easy as editing
the from the project options and rebuilding the application with
no errors from the generated APIs or boot code.
