Introduction
Thank you for your interest in the CY8CKIT-046 PSoC
®
4 L-Series Pioneer Kit. This kit enables
customers to evaluate and develop projects using the PSoC 4200L device, a member of the PSoC 4
L-Series family.
The PSoC 4 L-Series family is an expansion to the PSoC 4 device family that offers more flash,
GPIOs, programmable analog, digital, and communication blocks. PSoC 4200L 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. In addition to offering the standard programmable analog, digital, and
communications blocks present in the PSoC 4 device family, the PSoC 4 L-Series family adds USB
Full-Speed interface to the PSoC 4 family.
The PSoC 4 L-Series Pioneer Kit offers footprint-compatibility with Arduino™ shields and 6-pin
Digilent
®
Pmod™ peripheral modules. The kit offers a unique ability to connect two Arduino shields
side by side on the baseboard – dual Arduino footprint. The advantage of dual Arduino footprint is
that two communication shields using the same protocol or shields with similar header I/Os can be
interfaced simultaneously. In addition, this kit features two CapSense
®
proximity headers, a
CapSense Gesture Pad with a radial slider, audio jack (3.5 mm) with microphone input, audio codec
for digital audio streaming, µSD card interface, EZ-BLE™ PRoC™ Module, Energy Harvesting
Power Management IC (PMIC) interface, an RGB LED, a push-button switch, an onboard
programmer/debugger with USB-UART/I2C bridge functionality (KitProg), and a Cypress F-RAM™
(1 Mb). This kit supports operating voltages of 3.3 V or 5 V.
The kit board consists of two parts – main board and shield board. A perforated area is provided on
the board to separate the two boards. When separated (snapped), the main board can act as an
Arduino base board. The shield board can be used as a standalone Arduino shield. See
Functional Description on page 58
for details.
You will use PSoC Creator™ to develop and debug your PSoC 4200L projects. PSoC Creator is
Cypress’ standard integrated design environment (IDE). If you are new to PSoC Creator, see the
documentation on the
