Nonvolatile SRAMs expand to 8Mbit
New 2 and 8Mbit nvSRAMs feature access times as low as 20ns, infinite read, write and recall cycles, and 20-year data retention.
Design tool bridges high and low levels
Integrated design environment includes both code-free and high-level-language programming modes in one package.
"The CY8C21x23 delivers PSoC's well-known analogue and digital functionality and flexibility in a very small package and at an aggressive price point", said John McDonald, PSoC Marketing Director for Cypress.
"This solution extends our range of value-priced options, offering designers the ability to differentiate end products in a variety of high-volume applications".
The CY8C21x23's analogue and digital blocks can be configured as 8bit timers, counters and pulsewidth modulators (PWMs).
For example, the new device can integrate a full-duplex UART, I2C, SPI and two 10bit ADCs.
This reduces overall device count and board size, lowers BOM cost, and improves system quality and reliability.
The CY8C21x23 is available in 8- and16-pin SOIC, 20-pin SSOP and 24-pin 4x4 MLF packages.
It operates between 2.4 and 5.25V and from -40 to +85C.
The product is in production, and the 8-pin SOIC device is priced starting at $0.55 each in 10,000-unit quantities.
