Introduction
Thank you for your interest in the CY8CKIT-145-40XX PSoC
®
4000S Prototyping Kit. The
PSoC 4000S Prototyping Kit enables customers to evaluate and develop projects using the
PSoC 4000S device family.
PSoC 4000S device family is an expansion to the PSoC 4000 device family that offers more flash,
GPIOs, and programmable analog and digital blocks. PSoC 4000S device is a programmable
embedded system-on chip, integrating custom analog and digital peripheral functions, memory, and
an ARM
®
Cortex
®
-M0+ microcontroller on a single chip. The programmable analog and digital
peripheral functions allow higher flexibility, in-field tuning of the design, and faster time-to-market.
The PSoC 4000S Prototyping Kit offers an open footprint breakout board to maximize the end utility
of the PSoC 4000S device. This kit provides a low-cost alternative to device samples while providing
a platform to easily develop and integrate the PSoC 4000S device into your end-system.
The board includes the following features:
■
3 CapSense buttons
■
5-Segment CapSense slider
■
LEDs to provide feedback
■
Onboard C

capacitors to enable CapSense development
■
Bypass capacitor to ensure high-quality analog-to-digital conversions (No Load by default)
■
A push button to provide a simple user input
■
Load capacitors to connect the 32-kHz external crystal oscillator
■
Cypress EZ-BLE
®
PRoC™ Module
■
5-V operation
The PSoC 4000S Prototyping Kit also integrates Cypress KitProg2, which enables onboard
programming, debugging, and bridging functionality such as USB-UART and USB-I2C. KitProg2 is
used to program and debug the target PSoC 4000S/EZ-BLE PRoC device. The PSoC 4000S
Prototyping kit is designed to snap away the KitProg2 board from the PSoC 4000S target board.
You will use PSoC Creator™ to develop and debug your PSoC 4000S device projects. PSoC
Creator is Cypress’s standard integrated design environment (IDE). If you are new to PSoC Creator,
see the documentation on the
PSoC Creator home page
. You can also refer the application note
AN79953 - Getting Started with PSoC 4
, which gives an introduction to the PSoC 4 device.
