About PSOC™ 6

PSOC™ 6  is a portfolio of low-power, secured  microcontrollers  tailored for battery-powered applications. The dual-core Arm® Cortex®-M4 and Cortex®-M0+ architecture lets designers optimize for power and performance simultaneously. Based on a low power 40nm platform, PSOC 6 MCUs support various run time configurable power modes and dynamic voltage/frequency scaling, guaranteeting an extended battery life for your end products. With configurable memory and peripheral protection units, and a cryptographic accelerator, the PSOC™ 6 MCU supports standard embedded security features like secured boot, secured key storage, run-time security, and secured firmware updates. Designers can use the MCU’s rich analog and digital peripherals to create custom analog front-ends (AFEs) or digital interfaces for innovative system solutions.  PSOC™ 6 MCU features the fourth generation of industry-leading CAPSENSE™ capacitive-sensing technology, enabling modern touch and gesture-based interfaces that are robust and reliable. 

Rich on-chip memory, peripheral features

PSOC™ 6 MCUs support a wide variety of memory options ranging from 256 KB - 2 MB of on-chip flash memory, and 128 KB - 1 MB of on-chip SRAM.  Encrypted quad-SPI memory interface enables memory expansion beyond the on-chip memory. In addition to the dual CPU architecture, PSOC™ 6 MCUs inlcude DMA controllers, cryptographic accelerators to speed up application tasks. The family integrates a rich set of analog peripherals like 12-bit 2 MSPS SAR ADCs, 12-bit DACs, operational amplifiers, low power comparators.  Digital / Communication peripherals include timers, counters, PWMs, I2C, UART, SPI, CAN-FD, USB-FS (Device / Host), , SD/SDIO host interface, Smart IOs for discrete digital logic  integraton. For user interface needs, the family supports  the 4th generation CAPSENSE™ capacitive-sensing technology, Segment LCD Drive,  serial /parallel interface based displays, I2S audio, PDM-PCM audio converter.

PSOC™ 6 Portfolio Segmentation

PSOC™ 6 MCU portfolio consists of  three product lines, each of which have multiple end product families.

1. PSOC™ 61 (Programmable line) consists of end product families in which only the Arm® Cortex® M4 is available for user applications. Orderable part numbers (OPN) in the PSOC™ 61 line start with the “CY8C61” prefix

2. PSOC™ 62 (Performance line) consists of product families in which both the Arm® Cortex® M4 and Arm®Cortex®-M0+ are available for user applications (dual CPU architecture). Orderable part numbers (OPN) in the PSOC™ 62 line start with the “CY8C62” prefix

3. PSOC™ 63 (Connectivity line) consists of product families that include the Bluetooth® LE radio PHY and MAC integrated as part of the MCU. Orderable part numbers (OPN) in the PSOC™ 63 line start with the “CY8C63” prefix
