SAN JOSE, Calif., April 23, 2018 — Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq: CY), a leader in embedded solutions, today announced PSoC that uses inductive sensing technology to detect touch action on metal surface products. ® 4700 Series Microcontrollers (MCUs) Consumer, industrial and automotive products are using metal materials to enhance the attractiveness of product appearance to achieve product differentiation. The new Cypress PSoC® 4700 Series uses an inductor Sensing technology is as easy to use as Cypress's industry-leading CapSense® capacitive sensing solution, giving developers the freedom to use a variety of metal materials. The PSoC 4700 Series helps developers solve capacitive and inductive sensing issues. Is the ideal choice for modern advanced industrial design.
The Cypress PSoC CreatorTM Integrated Design Environment (IDE) supports the development of the PSoC 4700 Inductive Sensing Solution, so users can drag and drop ready-to-use hardware modules that are ready for volume production, including the latest inductive sensing capabilities. Designed and easily configured via a simple graphical user interface. For more information on the PSoC 4700 Series, inductive sensing solutions, and how project development kits and documentation are available, please visit: www.cypress.com Com/PSoC4700.
John Weil, vice president of Cypress's MCU Division, stated: 'Customers want to improve the aesthetics and reliability of their products through high-quality metal user interfaces. Although inductive sensing technology is ideal for these applications, it is The variable factors are difficult for customers to implement. The PSoC 4700 MCU series takes advantage of our 15-year experience in CapSense capacitive sensing and SmartSenseTM auto tuning to solve this problem, providing customers with easy-to-use, adjustable calibrations. Inductive sensing solutions. '
The PSoC 4700 MCU is based on a 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M0 + core and integrates programmable analog and digital modules. The device can support up to 16 sensors for a variety of shapes including push buttons, linear and rotary encoders, close to Digital functions or custom algorithms for sensing or freeform interface. The PSoC 4700 inductive sensing solution provides excellent noise immunity and reliable operation even under extreme environmental conditions. This highly integrated solution is reduced BOM material cost can achieve cost-effective system design.
Cypress's free PSoC Creator IDE supports simultaneous development of hardware and firmware by using PSoC components (ie, embedded ICs represented by icons in the IDE) to simplify system design. Engineers can drag and drop components on the PSoC Creator schematic , and use the graphical component configuration tool to customize it to easily configure the programmable analog and digital modules in PSoC. This tool has an automatic calibration function that can automatically compensate for errors caused by various variables in the mass production process.
Availability The Cypress PSoC 4700 series is sampling now and is expected to be in volume production in the third quarter of 2018.
