Cypress PSoC Device Enables Motor Control and Other Applications

Cypress Semiconductor Corp. has introduced a PSoC mixed-signal array with an enhanced analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for analog sampling and expanded 8k Flash memory capacity for complex algorithm processing. The CY8C23x33 targets applications with rich feature and software content, ranging from motor control, to camera image engines, to powerline communications and more. The PSoC mixed-signal architecture integrates programmable analog and digital blocks with an 8-bit microcontroller, a unique combination that offers designers unmatched flexibility for a variety of applications.



The CY8C23x33 device features an 8-bit successive-approximation (SAR) ADC to allow a high sampling rate of 375 Ksps. It offers 26 GPIOs to deliver a premium level of configurability to quickly adapt to changes in feature requirements. The device is available in a 5x5 mm QFN package to minimize board space. The CY8C23x33 PSoC devices feature four digital blocks, including two basic and two communication blocks, and four analog blocks, including two continuous time and two switched capacitor blocks. One of the device’s digital blocks is a dedicated hardware I2C block that enables fast and easy programmability to reduce design time. The CY8C23x33 PSoC devices are now in full production. The CY8C23533 is available in a 32-pin 5x5 mm QFN package and the CY8C23433 is available in a 28-pin SSOP package.
