The Cypress PSoC 1 Low Power Kit is the latest Arduino hardware compatible shield development kit exclusively available from element14. The PSoC 1 Low Power Kit brings the power of PSoC to life in an ultra low power and low pin count configuration. This exclusive kit features Cypress’s new CY8C24x93 low power PSoC1 and provides users with advanced peripheral options in a low cost, low pin count package.

The PSoC 1 development kit can be both a standalone development kit or integrate and plug into any compatible Arduino development platform, such as the Uno, Due, and Mega boards. Users will develop applications using the PSoC Designer IDE platform.

The CY8C24x93 device is ideal for battery or handheld applications with a 1.1 mA current draw in Active Mode, 1.07 µA in Standby Mode, and 100nA in Deep Sleep Mode operation with the ability to wake up from an interrupt.

Low Power Operation
Supports 1.1 µA Standby Mode and a 100 nA Deep Sleep Mode with the ability to wake up from an interrupt. CY8C24x93 supports a wide operating range allowing full analog and digital operation from 1.71 to 5.5 V.

Lowest Cost PSoC 1 with USB
A Full Speed USB 2.0 part with 32K of Flash and SPI master is available at < $1.00, in high volumes. Connect your legacy systems through a serial bridge using the USB Slave and SPI master.

Intelligent Integration in Small Packages
Choose from packages as small as 3x3 mm2, 16-pin QFN that packs an ADC, 2x Comparators, 3x 16-bit Timers, and SPI / I2C slave for your ultra-portable low-power designs.

Do I have to purchase a C compiler for PSoC Designer?

PSoC Designer provides you an excellent free C compiler from Imagecraft with no code size restrictions or time limits. If you need additional code compression capability you can purchase the Imagecraft Pro Compiler through the Imagecraft web site:  www.imagecraft.com

Is there a way to measure current consumption on PSoC in CY8CKIT-PSOC-024LP?

The PSoC 1 Low Power kit provides users with the ability to connect an ammeter or a multimeter to the board and measure current consumption on the PSoC. On the board there is a header with a jumper (CN5). This jumper can be removed and the user can connect the ammeter or multimeter in series to calculate the current consumption.
