Cypress Introduces New PSoC Evaluation Kits

Cypress Semiconductor Corp. today introduced two new evaluation kits for its fast-growing PSoC mixed-signal arrays. The kits, which address pyroelectric infrared motion detection and I2C port expansion, give designers easy-to-use tools to quickly and efficiently complete PSoC designs for a variety of applications.

- CY3236A-PIRMOTION: The PIR Motion Detection Evaluation Kit contains all of the hardware and software necessary to implement motion detection applications using a PIR motion sensor intelligently controlled by one Cypress PSoC device-the CY8C27443. Contents of the kit include the PIR motion sensor circuit board, a 12V power supply, a PSoC Designer integrated development environment (IDE) software CD, and a design files CD with schematics, BOM, Gerber files, and a PSoC Designer example project. The PIR Motion Detection Kit addresses applications such as automatic lighting controls, automatic door openers, security systems, kiosk wake-up and activating wireless cameras. For more details and to order this kit, customers can visit www.cypress.com/pirmotion."

- CY3242-IOXLite: The I2C Port Expander Lite Evaluation Kit contains all of the hardware and software necessary to implement I2C bus I/O expansion, system management and front panel control in one Cypress PSoC I2C Port Expander device-the CY8C9520. The kit contains an I2C expander demo board, a USB cable, documentation and a design files CD. The I2C Port Expander Lite Evaluation Kit addresses applications that include PCs, servers, personal gaming consoles and storage and networking equipment.
