Prototyping Modules (CY3210-2xxxx)
PSoC Prototyping Modules are 28-pin PDIP adapters that
seamlessly connect any PSoC device package-type to the 28-
pin PDIP connector that is default on Cypress PSoC kits. Check
the selection tables in the Kit Components and Accessories
section of this document for a list of Prototyping Modules
offered by Cypress. (Note: Prototyping Modules may sometimes
be referred to as Evaluation PODs.)
Prototyping Modules offer quick and easy prototyping of any
PSoC device and package on a board with just a 600-mil 28-Pin
ZIF socket (included in many of our kits, and easy for a user to
acquire and build on their own.)
Prototyping Modules feature:
• 28-pin DIP footprint (0.6 in width). Fits in a ZIF socket or
breadboard
• ISSP programming header enables programming via ISSP
• Connector for CAT5 cable connection to the ICE-cube
• Port pin-out for 28 pins on bottom of the pod matches port pin-
outs for the 28 pin PDIP PSoC
• Pins for emulating parts with >28 pins are accessible via
receptacles on top of the prototyping module
Prototyping Modules (CY3210-2xxxx) are not to be confused with Emulation PODs (CY3250-2xxxx),
although they also connect to the ICE-Cube (CY3215-DK).

C-USB Bridge (CY3240-I2USB)
The main purpose of the I
2
C -USB Bridge is to test, tune, and debug programs that have an I
2
C slave
interface. This application can also be useful for data acquisition and regulation under PC control.
Cypress offers CY3240-I2USB that supports I
2
C interface and communication to test, debug and tune
device designs in many PSoC kits.
There is a table of I
2
C -USB Bridge kits located in the Appendix.
