Flash Code Protection
Cypress products meet the specifications contained in their particular Cypress PSoC Data Sheets. Cypress believes that its
family of PSoC products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, regardless of how they are used.
There may be methods, unknown to Cypress, that can breach the code protection features. Any of these methods, to our
knowledge, would be dishonest and possibly illegal. Neither Cypress nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product as "unbreakable."
Cypress is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code. Code protection is constantly
evolving. We at Cypress are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our products.

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.
