Introduction
Datasheets: Describe and provide electrical specifications for the PSoC 4 device family
CapSense Design Guide: Learn how to design capacitive touch-sensing applications with the
PSoC 4 family of devices.
Application Notes and Code Examples: Cover a broad range of topics, from basic to advanced
level. Many of the application notes include code examples. Visit the PSoC 3/4/5 Code Examples
webpage for a list of all available PSoC Creator code examples. To access code examples from
within PSoC Creator, see PSoC Creator Code Examples on page 16.
Technical Reference Manuals (TRM): Provide detailed descriptions of the architecture and
registers in each PSoC 4 device family.
Development Kits:
CY8CKIT-040, CY8CKIT-042, and CY8CKIT-044 are easy-to-use and inexpensive develop-
ment platforms. These kits include connectors for Arduino-compatible shields and Digilent
Pmod peripheral modules.
CY8CKIT-141, CY8CKIT-142, CY8CKIT-143, CY5671, CY5674, and CY5676 are additional
BLE Modules compatible with the BLE Pioneer Kit.
CY5670 is additional BLE Dongle compatible with the BLE Pioneer Kit.
CY8CKIT-049 is a very low-cost prototyping platform for PSoC 4100/4200 families.
The MiniProg3 kit provides an interface for flash programming and debug.
CY5672 PRoC BLE Remote Control Reference Design Kit provides a production-ready imple-
mentation of a Bluetooth Low Energy remote control.
CY5682 PRoC BLE Touch Mouse Reference Design Kit provides a production-ready imple-
mentation of a Bluetooth Low Energy touch mouse.
Knowledge Base Articles (KBA): Provide design and application tips from experts on using the
device.
