New Development Board For Cypress PSoC 3 And PSoC 5LP Architectures

Cypress is pleased that SchmartBoard has added the PSoC 3 and PSoC 5LP boards into their development board tools, said John Weil, Senior Director of PSoC Marketing for Cypress' Programmable Systems Division. The full power of PSoC, including more than 100 pre-verified, production-ready components, is now available through SchmartBoard on their small, attractively priced development board.

The low-cost development board will be offered without PSoC IC or with Boot-Loaded IC.

The SchmartBoards for Cypress’s PSoC Architecture include critical development resources in a small cost-effective package.
