CY8CMBR3xxx Ecosystem
Cypress provides a complete ecosystem to enable a quick devel-
opment cycle with the CY8CMBR3xxx CapSense controller
family. This ecosystem includes simple tools for device configu-
ration, design validation, and diagnostics.
Documentation
Design Guides
Design guides are an excellent introduction to a variety of
possible CapSense-based designs. They provide an intro-
duction to the solution and complete system design guidelines.
Refer to the following design guides for CY8CMBR3xxx:
1. Getting Started with CapSense – an ideal starting point for all
CapSense users
2. CY8CMBR3xxx CapSense Design Guide – provides
complete system design guidelines for CY8CMBR3xxx
You can download these design guides from our website:

Registers TRM
The CY8CMBR3xxx Registers TRM lists and details all the
registers of the CY8CMBR3xxx family of controllers in order of
their addresses. These registers may be accessed through an
I
2
C interface with the host.
Software Utility
EZ-Click Customizer Tool
The EZ-Click Customizer Tool is a simple, GUI-based software
utility that can be used to customize the CY8CMBR3xxx device
configurations.
Use this GUI-based tool to do the following:
■ Select the appropriate part number based on an
end-application requirement using the Product Selector
■ Configure the device features
■ Observe CapSense data for button and proximity sensors
■ Use the System Diagnostics and built-in test self-test (BIST)
features for debug and production-line testing
Tools
Design Toolbox
The Design Toolbox is an interactive spreadsheet tool that
provides application-specific design guidelines for capacitive
buttons. It is used to configure and validate the CapSense
system.
The Design Toolbox:
■ Provides general layout guidelines for a CapSense PCB
■ Estimates button dimensions based on end-application
requirements
■ Calculates power consumption based on button dimensions
■ Validates layout design
Evaluation Kits
The CY3280-MBR3 Evaluation Kit can be used to quickly
evaluate the various features of the CY8CMBR3xxx solution.
The kit also functions as an Arduino shield, making it compatible
with the various Arduino-based controllers in the market. You can
purchase this kit at the Cypress online store.
Online
In addition to print documentation, there are abundant web
resources. The dedicated web page for the CY8CMBR3xxx
family has all the current information.
Training
Free PSoC and CapSense technical training (on-demand,
webinars, and workshops) is available online at
www.cypress.com/training. The training covers a wide variety of
topics and supports different skill levels to assist you in your
designs.
