Cypress Semiconductor has announced production availability of the PSoC 4700S series of microcontrollers that use MagSense inductive sensing technology for contactless metal sensing. The series also incorporates Cypress’ industry-leading CapSense capacitive-sensing technology, empowering consumer, industrial, and automotive product developers to create sleek, state-of-the-art designs using metals and other materials. The highly-integrated MCUs enable cost-efficient system designs by reducing bill-of-material costs and provide superior noise immunity for reliable operation, even in extreme environmental conditions.
The PSoC 4700S MCUs integrate:
- A 32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+ core
- Up to 32 KB Flash and 4 KB SRAM
- 36 GPIOs
- 7 programmable analog blocks
- 7 programmable digital blocks
Support for up to 16 sensors, enabling implementation of buttons, linear and rotary encoders, and proximity sensing.
The CY8CKIT-148 PSoC 4700S Inductive Sensing Evaluation Kit is available for $49 at the Cypress online store and from select distributors.
