PSoC 6 is Cypress’ new PSoC MCU architecture, purpose-built for the IoT. It bridges the gap between expensive, power hungry application processors and low performance MCUs. The ultra-low-power PSoC 6 MCU architecture offers the processing performance needed by IoT devices, eliminating the tradeoffs between power and performance.
PSoC 6 MCU is a dual core architecture, with both microcontrollers on a single chip. It has an ARM® Cortex®-M4 for high-performance tasks, and an ARM® Cortex®-M0+ for low-power tasks. Security is built-in, protecting your IoT system.
The PSoC 6 MCU architecture enables engineers to create innovative, next-generation IoT devices that take advantage of the merits of each core. Using the highly-customizable Peripheral Driver Library (PDL), you write code for either processor using a single API. In addition, the two cores share a common memory space. Inter-processor communication is simplified, both by this design, and the PDL IPC driver.
The PDL provides fully-integrated support for BLE, an RTOS, a trusted execution environment, capacitive sensing, and a great deal more. In addition to the integrated peripherals, developers can leverage the unique PSoC fabric with its easy-to-use, custom, software-defined peripherals.
The combination of highly-capable MCUs with an extremely flexible driver API, extensive integrated middleware, and custom software-based peripherals, enables significant opportunity for developers to create better solutions.
