History
Commercial PSoC shipments began in 2002.
Cypress released the fourth generation, PSoC 4, in April 2013. The PSoC 4 features a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 CPU, with programmable analog blocks (OpAmps, Comparators), programmable digital blocks (PLD-based UDBs), programmable routing and flexible GPIO (route any function to any pin), a Serial Communication Block (for SPI, UART, I2C), a Timer/Counter/PWM block and more.
To promote the PSoC, Cypress sponsored a "PSoC Design Challenge" in Circuit Cellar magazine in 2002 and 2004.
PSoC is used in devices as simple as Sonicare toothbrushes and Adidas sneakers, and as complex as the TiVo set-top box. One PSoC, using CapSense, controls the touch-sensitive scroll wheel on the Apple iPod click wheel.
