Question: Can you give me a comprehensive list of resources that I can use to design applications using PSoC 1, PowerPSoC, and PLC devices?
Answer:
This article provides the complete list of PSoC 1, Power PSoC, and PLC resources that can help you get started with these devices and design your applications with them.
If you are new to the PSoC family of devices and the PSoC Designer™ development tool, read the supplemental material available within the PSoC Designer integrated development environment (IDE). Launch PSoC Designer and navigate to the following items:
- User Guide: Select the menu item: Help > Documentation. Go to the folder Designer Specific Documents and open the IDE User Guide. This guide provides you with comprehensive information about PSoC Designer.
- Example Projects Browser: Click Launch Example Browser on the Start page. These example projects demonstrate how to configure and use the user modules.
The Cypress website at www.cypress.com has additional resources for your learning needs:
Training videos: The Cypress website has several videos for PSoC 1. These videos are located at: http://www.cypress.com/?id=1573&rtID=337. Some of the listed videos are:
- Introduction to PSoC 1
- Introduction to PSoC 1 Architecture and Design Flow
- My First PSoC Designer Project
- Introduction to PSoC 1 Kit Classification and Selector Guide
Application Notes (ANs): Application notes are available on the Cypress website to assist you with designing your PSoC application:
- A list of PSoC 1 ANs is available at http://www.cypress.com/?id=1573&rtID=76

User Module Datasheets: "User Modules" are preconfigured functions that, after placed and programmed, work as a peripheral on the target device. Each user module in PSoC Designer has an associated datasheet that describes the functionality, APIs, and electrical specifications for the hardware. To access user module datasheets in PSoC Designer, right-click the user module in the workspace explorer or the user module catalog window. You can also access user module datasheets from the Cypress website at:
In most cases, the user module datasheet provides sufficient documentation for development use. If you need additional information, refer to the technical reference manual (TRM).
Technical Reference Manuals: The TRM provides detailed descriptions of the internal architecture of PSoC 1, PowerPSoC, and PLC devices:
- PSoC 1 Technical Reference Manuals
- PowerPSoC Technical Reference Manual
- PLC Technical Reference Manual
Datasheets: Device datasheets list the features and electrical specifications of PSoC 1, PowerPSoC, and PLC families of devices:
