PSoC Designer 5.0 = PSoC Express 3.0 + PSoC Designer 4.4

PSoC Designer™ 5.0 is the industry’s first and only integrated design environment that includes both code-free and high-level language programming modes in one package. Cypress has combined the revolutionary PSoC Express™ visual embedded system design tool with the full-featured PSoC Designer software to create a new design paradigm – users can now start projects in a drag-and-drop visual design mode (system-level view) and then move to code-based design in C language (chip-level view) to refine and customize their projects, all from within a single tool. PSoC Designer enables customers to easily complete the most complex designs while maximizing the efficiency of the target PSoC devices.

In addition to integrating the PSoC Express functionality, the new PSoC Designer 5.0 tool includes the more powerful version 9.61 of the HI-TECH C® PRO compiler for the PSoC® Mixed-Signal Array. The new compiler includes a new "Lite" mode that designers can use free of charge without any time or code-size limits usually associated with free compilers.

PSoC Designer 5.0 also includes upgrades focused on usability. Some of these enhancements include Graphical User Interface features based on familiar software best practices. For example, practically every window within the application can now be docked to the development workspace, hidden or exposed as needed through tabbed interfaces, or float as independent windows and effectively used in multiple-display environments.
