In the world of embedded systems, Cypress (now part of Infineon) PSoC (Programmable System-on-Chip) devices occupy a unique space—blending microcontroller, analog, and digital programmable logic. To get your code onto these chips, two tools are essential: the PSoC Programmer software and the MiniProg3 hardware programmer. What is MiniProg3? The MiniProg3 is a low-cost, versatile programming and debug bridge. About the size of a USB flash drive, it connects your PC to a target PSoC device via a 5-pin connector (typically using a 10-pin ribbon cable adapter).
