CYPRESS’S PSoC: A DIFFERENT KIND OF MCU 433

v) For PSoC1, there is the ‘dynamic reconfi guration’ option.  is means that peripherals

may be changed at runtime.  e point is that, if the current design is using all the

programmable blocks in the fi rst confi guration, some of them may be unloaded at

run time and replaced by others in the second confi guration.

12.2 | The PSoC Family

 e family comprises the following IC series

i) CY8C2xxxx named PSoC1 with the M8C core

ii) CY8C3xxxx named PSoC3 with the 8051 core

iii) CY8C5xxxx named PSoC5 with the ARM Cortex M3 core

 ere are a number of member chips in the family, and they diff er in aspects like number

of pins, number of digital /analog blocks, fl ash, RAM, IC packaging, etc.
