Download Now! PSoC Creator™ Software Delivers Revolutionary Design Environment For New Cypress PSoC® 3 and PSoC 5 Architectures 
Cypress introduces the PSoC Creator™ Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the new PSoC® 3 and PSoC 5 programmable system-on-chip families (see related release "Cypress Revolutionizes Embedded Design with High Performance, Low Power PSoC® 3 and PSoC 5 Programmable System-on-Chip Architectures"). The unique new design software enables engineers to design the way they think, using schematic-based design capture along with certified, pre-packaged peripherals to keep system creation independent of the target PSoC device. Instead of trawling through device documentation and memorizing register maps, users simply layout the design, just as they would on paper or a whiteboard, and let the tool translate it into the PSoC configuration.

Cypress Revolutionizes Embedded Design with High Performance, Low Power PSoC® 3 and PSoC 5 Programmable System-on-Chip Architectures
Cypress announced two new architectures in its PSoC® programmable system-on-chip platform that dramatically increase performance and extend the world's only programmable analog and digital embedded design platform delivering unmatched time-to-market, integration, and flexibility across 8-, 16-, and 32-bit applications. This new programmable analog and digital embedded design platform is powered by the revolutionary PSoC Creator™ Integrated Development Environment, which introduces a unique schematic-based design capture along with fully tested, pre-packaged analog and digital peripherals easily customizable through user-intuitive wizards and APIs to meet specific design requirements. PSoC Creator enables engineers to design the way they think and dramatically shorten time-to-market (see related release "PSoC Creator™ Software Delivers Revolutionary Design Environment For New Cypress PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 Architectures").

The Joy of Precision Analog: True System-on-Chip Performance 
As systems increase in complexity, engineers have a need to incorporate more components, both analog and digital, into a single device while maintaining the integrity of the design. New mixed-signal microcontrollers are emerging which integrate more precision analog components than previous generations. Utilizing these next generation mixed-signal microcontrollers allow for designs which reduce BOM costs, save board space, protect IP, and provide more flexibility for change throughout the design process. Now mixed-signal microcontrollers have ADCs with a precision upwards of 20-bits, amplifiers with lower offset voltages, and 0.1% voltage references.

Introducing an Evolutionary Leap in Embedded Design:
How many embedded projects have you worked on that successfully transitioned between lifecycle phases of the project without major rework of system designs, bill of materials, layouts, etc.? If you're answer is less than 100%, as the majority of the embedded world is, then you should open your mind to a new methodology to embedded design that will save you countless hours, dollars and headaches. In this article we'll explore the embedded design challenges you face on a day-to-day basis and, in a pragmatic manner, how you can overcome with true system-level programmability. First, let's briefly look at what I mean by true system-level programmability.

CAN in 30 minutes or less
Since CAN was introduced in the 80's, it has seen a tremendous evolution in terms of specifications and requirements. Its extended capabilities have led to its wide adoption across applications, from automotive, to industrial machine and factory automation. This article will explore the CAN interface and discuss different ways of implementing, configuring, and tuning interfaces to facilitate simplified design.

I want my touchscreen…with gestures
With the near standardisation of touchscreens in the mobile phone segment, many people are waiting impatiently for the technology to make its way into the automotive market. Of course, some might argue that touchscreens are already available in cars today, however, what is really meant, is a touchscreen with gestures. Drivers expect to get in the car today, flick a menu to scroll through their list of mp3, get on the road, and with simple gestures such as zoom in and out, pan left, and rotate, be able to navigate through the map, without requiring the complexity of today's infotainment menu structure.

Addressing the Challenges of Lighting with High-Brightness LEDs
Whenever you go to your local DIY store or department store, you will see an alarming array of LED lighting products, from halogen lighting replacements to colour mood lighting. LEDs are also being designed into a variety of applications such as backlighting for LCD TVs, to headlight clusters of motor vehicles. Even municipal authorities in Europe are using LED street lighting to save electricity and CO2 emissions. The appeal of LED is obvious when you consider LEDs offer efficiency up to 100 Lumens/Watt and an average lamp life up to 100,000 hours, while both tungsten and halogen lighting offer less than 25 Lumens/Watt efficiency and under 4,000 hours of average lamp life.

Using capacitive and proximity sensing in Digital Photo Frames
A Digital Photo Frame (DPF) is a technologically-advanced replacement of traditional photo albums and frames. Hard-copy photos were the only option when using analog cameras. The growth and proliferation of digital cameras has rendered analog versions all but obsolete. Digital photo frames provide many ways to store and display images of different formats, transfer photos to printers or other electronic devices, play videos, and have remote control over all these without a computer.
