This kit is designed as an easy-to-use and inexpensive prototyping platform. The PSoC 5LP Prototyping Kit supports the PSoC 5LP device family, delivering a complete system solution for a wide range of embedded applications at a very low cost. The PSoC 5LP is the industry’s most integrated SoC with an Arm® Cortex™-M3 CPU. It combines programmable and reconfigurable high-precision analog and digital blocks with flexible automatic routing. The unique flexibility of the PSoC 5LP architecture will help those who want to rapidly develop products using the PSoC 5LP device family. The PSoC 5LP Prototyping Kit offers an open footprint breakout board to maximize the end-utility of the PSoC 5LP device. This kit provides a low-cost alternative to device samples while providing a platform to easily develop and integrate the PSoC 5LP device into your end-system. In addition, the board includes the following features:

■ Micro-USB connector to enable USB application development

■ Onboard CMOD capacitors to enable CapSense® development

■ Bypass capacitors to ensure the high-quality ADC conversions

■ An LED to provide feedback

■ A push button to provide a simple user input

■ Load capacitors to connect 32-kHz external crystal oscillator

■ 3.3-V to 5.5-V operation
