Safety Information
Regulatory Compliance
CY8CKIT-002 is used as a development platform for hardware or software in a laboratory. In a
domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference; adequate prevention measures
should be taken.
CY8CKIT-002, as shipped from the factory, is verified to meet with requirements of CE as a Class A
product.
The CY8CKIT-002 boards are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Electrostatic charges accumulate on the human body and on other
equipment. Devices that are subjected to high-energy discharges can
suffer permanent damage. Proper ESD precautions are recommended
to prevent loss of functionality. Store unused CY8CKIT-002 boards in the
protective shipping package.
General Safety Instructions
ESD Protection
ESD can damage boards and associated components. Cypress recommends that you work on the
board at an ESD workstation, if available. Otherwise, use appropriate ESD protection, such as an
antistatic wrist strap attached to a ground, when handling parts.

1.2 Programming
The MiniProg3 programmer/debugger provides the flexibility to work with different programming and
debugging interfaces, such as JTAG, SWD, ISSP, and I
PSoC devices. When programming, MiniProg3 enables communication with target devices using I/O
voltage levels from 1.5 V to 5.5 V. In addition, MiniProg3 can supply power to a simple target board
at one of four voltage levels: 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V.

■ I
C (limited PSoC 1 devices)
The MiniProg3 debugger is supported by the software tools PSoC Creator and PSoC Designer.
1.4 Bridging
MiniProg3 supports USB-I2C bridging protocols. These protocols are used for debugging certain
PSoC 1 devices that support serial communication debugging, tuning, and configuration of fixed
function devices. The MiniProg3 bridging capabilities are used by PSoC Designer, PSoC Creator,
PSoC Programmer, Bridge Control Panel, and other applications. Tuning software tools also use
these capabilities.

Installing MiniProg3
2.3 MiniProg3 Installation
The MiniProg3 programmer and debugger are supported by PSoC Programmer, PSoC Designer,
and PSoC Creator. Secondary software, such as Bridge Control Panel and Clock Programmer, use
the programmer COM hardware layer to support MiniProg3 functionality.
1. Download and install PSoC Programmer. Follow the instructions to install the software.
2. Connect the MiniProg3 to your computer’s USB port using the USB cable. When properly
connected, the four LEDs on the MiniProg3 flicker.
The first two MiniProg3 drivers are automatically installed.
Note Remove the warning sticker before using MiniProg3.
3. Run PSoC Programmer: Select Start > All Programs > Cypress > PSoC Programmer.
The second MiniProg3 driver is automatically installed.
4. In PSoC Programmer, select View > Modern.
Figure 2-3. PSoC Programmer in Modern View Mode: MiniProg3 Selected and Connected
5. To connect to the port, in the port selection window, click the MiniProg3 device. You can also click
Connect/Disconnect.
If the connection is successful, the green status LEDs on MiniProg3 light up and a blue dot
appears next to MiniProg3 in the Port Selection box. Also, the indicator in the lower-right corner
of the PSoC Programmer window turns green and shows Connected.
You can now use MiniProg3 and the functions it supports.
For more information on how to use PSoC Programmer, see the PSoC Programmer User Guide.
12 CY8CKIT-002 MiniProg3 User Guide, Doc. # 001-59350 Rev. *E
2.4 Example Projects
MiniProg3 is supported by PSoC Programmer, a simple GUI that connects to programming
hardware to program and configure PSoC devices, and to develop custom applications.
Example projects and documentation are included in the PSoC Programmer installation and are
available in the PSoC Programmer root installation folder:
[Install path]\Cypress\Programmer\[Programmer Version]\Examples
The PSoC Programmer root installation folder also includes documentation on how to use the
programming interface:
[Install path]\Cypress\Programmer\[Programmer Version]\Documents
2.5 MiniProg3 LEDs
MiniProg3 has five indicator LEDs that, when lit, indicate the following:
■ Upper Left - Busy (Red): An operation (such as programming or debugging) is in progress.
■ Lower Left - Status (Green): The device is enumerated on the USB bus. When flashing, this
LED indicates that MiniProg3 has received USB traffic.
■ Upper Right - Target Power (Red): MiniProg3 is supplying power to the target connectors. This
LED does not light up if power to target connectors is supplied by a source other than MiniProg3.
Installing MiniProg3
■ Lower Right - Aux (Yellow): Reserved for future use.
■ Middle - No Label (Yellow): Flashes briefly during the initial configuration of the device. If it stays
lit, this LED indicates that a configuration error has occurred. If this happens, disconnect the
MiniProg3 from the USB port and then reconnect it.

Connection
MiniProg3 is a protocol translation device. With MiniProg3, the PC host software can communicate
through a high-speed USB to the target device to be programmed or debugged, as shown in
Figure 3-1. The device-side communication protocol can be one of the several standards and can
occur over either of the two connectors. Table 3-1 lists the protocols that are supported by each
connector. MiniProg3 enables communication with the target devices using I/O voltage levels from
1.5 V to 5.5 V. In addition, MiniProg3 can provide power to a simple target board, at one of four
voltage levels: 0.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V.

3.1 Interfaces
3.1.1 ISSP
In-System Serial Programming (ISSP) is a Cypress legacy interface used to program the PSoC 1
family of microcontrollers. MiniProg3 supports programming PSoC 1 devices through the 5-pin
connector only.
For more information about the ISSP interface, see the PSoC 1 Technical Reference Manual.
3.1.2 JTAG
The Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) standard interface is supported by many high-end
microcontrollers, including the PSoC 3 and PSoC 5LP families. This interface allows a daisy chain
bus of multiple JTAG devices. The MiniProg3 supports programming and debugging the PSoC 3 and
PSoC 5LP devices using JTAG, through the 10-pin connector only.
3.1.3 SWD/SWV
Recent ARM-based devices have introduced a new serial debugging standard called Serial Wire

3.2 Connectors
3.2.1 5-Pin Connector
The 5-pin connector is configured as a single row with 100-mil pitch. It is designed to mate with a
Molex model 22-23-2051 (straight) or 22-05-3051 (right angle) male header with a key tab.
Figure 3-2. 5-Pin Connector with Pin Assignments
Technical Description
3.2.2 10-Pin Connector
The 10-pin connector is configured as a dual row with 50-mil pitch. It is used with a ribbon cable
(provided) to mate to a similar connector on the target board. The recommended mating connectors
are the Samtec FTSH-105-01-L-DV-K (surface mount) and the FTSH-105-01-L-D-K (through hole)
or similar connectors available from other vendors. The signal assignment is shown in Figure 3-3.
When programming JTAG devices, note that MiniProg3 does not support nTRST pins.

CY8CKIT-002 MiniProg3 User Guide, Doc. # 001-59350 Rev. *E 17
Technical Description
Here is a summary of the protocols and related pin assignments.
3.3 Power
The MiniProg3 requires a connection to the Vddio supply of the target device to set the voltage level
used for communication. This is required regardless of the communication protocol and the port
selected. One of the connector’s VTARG pins must be connected to the Vddio supply of the target
device. For PSoC 3 and PSoC 5LP, this is the Vddio1 supply because this supply is used to drive the
debug pins. If you do not connect the VTARG or you connect it to the wrong supply, MiniProg3
cannot communicate with the target device.
