AN82250 describes how to implement programmable digital logic designs in the PLD portion of PSoC® 3, PSoC 4 and PSoC 5LP. It introduces the PSoC Universal Digital Blocks (UDBs) and their Programmable Logic Device (PLD) subblocks. An example project illustrates how you can use the PLDs in a design by creating Verilog-based components in PSoC Creator™.
Introduction
PSoC® 3, PSoC 4 and PSoC 5LP (hereafter referred to as PSoC) are more than just microcontrollers. With PSoC you can integrate the functions of a microcontroller, complex programmable logic device (CPLD) and high-performance analog with unmatched flexibility. This saves cost, board space, power, and development time.
Note This application note does not apply to CY8C41xx parts which do not contain UDBs.
