The Cypress CY8CKIT-143A Programmable System-on-Chip (PSoC) 4 BLE 256K module, available from Mouser Electronics, features a PSoC 4 BLE device with 256 KBytes of flash and 32 KBytes of SRAM, 24-MHz and 32.768-kHz crystals, a PCB antenna, and other passives while providing access to all 36 general-purpose inputs and outputs (GPIOs) of the device. PSoC 4 BLE is a 48-MHz ARM® Cortex®-M0 based single-chip solution that integrates a programmable analog front end, programmable digital peripherals, CapSense® touch-sensing technology, and includes a royalty-free stack and radio compatible with Bluetooth 4.2. The module’s programmable architecture supports a number of peripheral functions --such as ADC, timers, counters, and PWM -- as well as serial communication protocols (including I2C, UART, and SPI).
The CY8CKIT-143A PSoC 4 BLE 256K module can be used standalone with an external programmer like the CY8CKIT-002 MiniProg3, or plugged into the CY8CKIT-042-BLE Bluetooth Low Energy Pioneer Kit for easy prototyping with the PSoC Creator™ integrated development environment.
