Appendix A — Definitions
5-Pin to USB Adapter
The small adapter board in this kit that allows enCoRe II based devices to be
programmed through their USB cables using a MiniProg.
Applications Board
The board in this kit that can be used to develop applications for the enCoRe II low
speed USB peripheral controller or Wireless enCoRe II Microcontroller.
DVK
Development Kit
enCoRe II
The Cypress low speed USB peripheral controller supported by this kit. The enCoRe II
family also includes the Wireless enCoRe II, which is supported by this kit.
Foot
Any of several small adapter boards used to connect the emulation pod to the footprint
of enCoRe II or Wireless enCoRe II for emulation.
ICE
See In-Circuit Emulator
In-Circuit Emulator
A device used to allow debugging of an enCoRe II or Wireless enCoRe II project. This
kit uses the ICE-Cube in-circuit emulator.
ISSP Cable
The In-System-Serial-Programming cable that can be connected between the ICE and
either the applications board or Modular Programmer for enCoRe II or Wireless
enCoRe II device programming.
MiniProg
A USB based programmer that can be used to program enCoRe II or Wireless enCoRe
II devices.
Modular Programmer
A board that can be used to program enCoRe II and Wireless enCoRe II silicon of
various package types using a modular system of socket adapters and programming
modules in conjunction with either the ICE-Cube or the MiniProg.
Pod
A small board used in conjunction with PSoC designer, an ICE-Cube, and a foot for
debugging and emulation.
Programming Module
Used with the Modular Programmer to support different enCoRe II and Wireless
enCoRe II pinouts for programming.
Programming socket
adapter
Used with the Modular Programmer to support different enCoRe II and Wireless
enCoRe II packages for programming.
PS/2
A device interface developed by IBM that is used for many modern keyboards and
mice.
PSoC Designer
A software development environment used for enCoRe II and Wireless enCoRe II
firmware development
PSoC USB-4000
A USB to parallel adapter used to make a USB connection between the development
PC running PSoC Designer and the ICE-4000. This kit does not support use of either
the PSoC-4000 or ICE-4000.
RDK
Reference Design Kit
RJ45 Cable
A short blue cable used for connection between the ICE and pod.
USB
Universal Serial Bus
VREG
The internal 3.3 volt regulator in some enCoRe II devices that can also provide current
to external devices.
Wireless enCoRe II
The Cypress low-voltage microcontroller supported by this kit. Wireless enCoRe II is a
member of the Cypress enCoRe II family.
