Introduction
Thank you for your interest in the CY8CKIT-050 PSoC
®
5 Development Kit. This kit allows you to
develop precision analog and low-power designs using PSoC 5LP. You can design your own projects
with PSoC Creator™ or alter the sample projects provided with this kit.
The CY8CKIT-050 PSoC 5LP Development Kit is based on the PSoC 5LP family of devices.
PSoC 5LP is a Programmable System-on-Chip™ platform for 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit applications. It
combines precision analog and digital logic with a high-performance CPU. With PSoC, you can
create the exact combination of peripherals and integrated proprietary IP to meet your application
requirements.

PSoC Creator
Cypress's PSoC Creator software is a state-of-the-art, easy-to-use integrated development
environment (IDE) that introduces a hardware and software design environment based on classic
schematic entry and revolutionary embedded design methodology.
With PSoC Creator, you can:
■
Create and share user-defined, custom peripherals using hierarchical schematic design.
■
Automatically place and route select components and integrate simple glue logic, normally
located in discrete muxes.
■
Trade off hardware and software design considerations allowing you to focus on what matters
and getting to market faster.
PSoC Creator also enables you to tap into an entire tools ecosystem with integrated compiler tool
chains, RTOS solutions, and production programmers to support both PSoC 3 and PSoC 5LP.
