Programmable devices for frugal system awareness

Cypress MicroSystems claims to have developed the industry's lowest-power, system-aware range of programmable SoC devices for portable, Flash-based applications.

Cypress MicroSystems claims to have developed the industry's lowest-power, system-aware range of PSoC (programmable system-on-chip) devices for portable, Flash-based applications, including remote sensors, handheld instruments and portable consumer electronics.

PSoC devices are high-performance, field-programmable, mixed-signal arrays for high-volume embedded-control functions in consumer, industrial, office automation, telecom and automotive applications.

With a typical sleep current of just 3uA - with all power supervisory functions turned on - PSoC offers the l
