PSoC Creator
PSoC Creator is a free Windows-based Integrated Design Environment (IDE). It enables concurrent
hardware and firmware design of systems based on PSoC 3, PSoC 4, PSoC 5LP, and PSoC Analog
Coprocessor. 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 data sheets
