5.3.1 Integrated Development Environments
5.3.1.1 PSoC Creator
is a free Windows-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE). It enables concurrent hardware and
firmware design of PSoC 3, PSoC 4, and PSoC 5LP systems. See
. 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
4. Explore the library of 100+ Components
5. Review Component datasheet

5.3.1.2 PSoC Designer
is a free Windows-based Integrated Design Environment (IDE) offered by Cypress for developing PSoC
1 systems. Develop your applications using a library of pre-characterized analog and digital peripherals in a drag-and-
drop design environment. Then, customize your design leveraging the dynamically generated API libraries of code.
