Getting Started with PSoC® 4 BLE
Appendix B: Cypress Terms of Art
This section lists the most commonly used terms that you might encounter while working with Cypress’s PSoC family of
devices.
Component Configuration Tool: Simple GUI in PSoC Creator that is embedded in each Component. It is used to customize
the Component parameters and is accessed by right-clicking a Component.
Components: Free embedded ICs represented by an icon in PSoC Creator software. These are used to integrate multiple ICs
and system interfaces into one PSoC Component that is inherently connected to the MCU via the main system bus. For
example, the BLE Component creates Bluetooth Smart products in minutes. Similarly, you can use the Programmable Analog
Components for sensors.
MiniProg3: A programming hardware for development that is used to program PSoC devices on your custom board or PSoC
development kits that do not support a built-in programmer.
PSoC: A programmable, embedded design platform that includes a CPU, such as the 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0, with both analog
and digital programmable blocks. It accelerates embedded system design with reliable, easy-to-use solutions, such as touch
sensing, and enables low-power designs.
PSoC 4 BLE: A PSoC 4 IC with an integrated BLE radio that includes a royalty-free BLE protocol stack compatible with
the Bluetooth 4.1 specification.
PSoC Creator: PSoC 3, PSoC 4, and PSoC 5LP Integrated Design Environment (IDE) software that installs on your PC and
allows concurrent hardware and firmware design of PSoC systems, or hardware design followed by export to other popular
IDEs.
PSoC Programmer: A flexible, integrated programming application for programming PSoC devices. PSoC Programmer is
integrated with PSoC Creator to program PSoC 3, PSoC 4, PRoC, and PSoC 5LP designs.
