Cypress Semiconductor has introduced the CY8CKIT-025 development kit for its PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 programmable system-on-chip architectures.

The kit includes each of four different types of analogue temperature sensors, including a thermocouple, a diode, a thermistor and a resistance temperature detector (RTD).
It also includes a bonus CY8CKIT-012 PSoC Prototyping and Development Expansion Board. 

Designers can buy the new development kit for $115 at www.cypress.com/go/cy8ckit-025

"The precision analogue capability of our PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 products is one of the capabilities that sets PSoC apart from standard MCUs,” said Gahan Richardson, vice president for Cypress’s PSoC Platform.

“In order to get this level of measurement accuracy with a standard controller, a designer would need to add a standalone differential ADC device that adds cost, power, board space and complexity to the design,” said Richardson.
