SPIDER Automation CY8CKIT-PSOC-024LP PSoC 1 Low-Power Development Kit
Description
The SPIDER Automation CY8CKIT-PSOC-024LP is a versatile, low-power PSoC 1 development kit featuring the CY8C24x93 microcontroller. Engineered for battery-operated and portable handheld applications, it delivers advanced programmable analog and digital peripherals in a low-cost, low-pin-count package.
Designed for maximum deployment flexibility, the kit can operate as a standalone development board or plug directly into standard Arduino-compatible headers (such as Uno, Due, and Mega boards). With an exceptionally low active current draw of 1.1mA, 1.07 µA standby, and just 100nA in deep sleep mode with interrupt wakeup capabilities, it enables energy-efficient designs. Complete with onboard analog sensors, an IR remote LED, a 4-segment LCD display, and support for the PSoC Designer IDE, it is an ideal toolkit for embedded developers and students.
Key Features
