Question:
Can I program multiple PSoC® 1 devices at the same time, and how much time does it take to program a single device?

Answer:
For high-volume production it is necessary that multiple devices be programmed at the same time. It is possible to program multiple PSoC 1 devices in parallel. A range of third-party programmers is available to program multiple PSoC 1 devices simultaneously. The following table lists the programmers available from Cypress-qualified third-party vendors.

PSoC 1 is programmed using the ISSP protocol. For general information on programming a PSoC 1 device refer to the following webpage: http://www.cypress.com/node/92446. The time required to program different PSoC 1 devices depends upon the host programmer as well as the target PSoC 1 device. The following table gives the timing details of various PSoC 1 families programmed with different programmers.
