Introduction
1.3 Software Introduction
1.3.1 PSoC Creator Overview
PSoC Creator is a state-of-the-art, easy-to-use IDE. It uses revolutionary hardware and software co-
design, powered by a library of fully verified and characterized PSoC Components™ and peripheral
driver libraries (PDL), as shown in
Figure 1-4 . With PSoC Creator, you can:
1. Drag and drop Components to build your hardware system design in the main design workspace.
2. Co-design your application firmware with the PSoC hardware.
3. Configure Components using configuration tools or PDL.
4. Explore the library of 100+ Components.
5. Access Component datasheets.
6. Export your design to third-party firmware development tools.
Figure 1-4. PSoC Creator Features
PSoC Creator also enables you to tap into an entire tool ecosystem with integrated compiler chains
and production programmers for PSoC devices. Use PSoC Creator for all PSoC 6 MCU designs that
do not require WiFi connectivity. If WiFi connectivity is required, use WICED Studio 6.1 or higher.
