This basic evaluation kit allows a user to program PSoC devices via the MiniProg programming unit. A MiniEval board is also included in the kit. The MiniEval board is a programming and evaluation board which allows socket programming of DIP devices. The MiniEval also includes LEDs and a POT for simple evaluation and demonstration, but does not include a prototyping area. The MiniProg utilizes a 5-pin ISSP (In-System Serial Programming) header to program PSoC devices on the MiniEval board or directly on a users target board (to learn how to prepare your target board for ISSP see Application Note AN2014 available at www.cypress.com). The MiniProg is small and compact, and connects to the users PC via a provided USB 2.0 Cable.

This kit allows the flexibility of programming PSoC devices below 3.3/5V and as low as 1.8V by level translating the programming signals to the target board voltage. This makes the MinProg useful for many more programming solutions without requiring extra components for on-board voltage translation.
