aid: cypress-semiconductor url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/cypress-semiconductor/refs/heads/main/apis.yml modified: '2026-05-23' name: Cypress Semiconductor description: Cypress Semiconductor was a US-based semiconductor company known for its PSoC programmable system-on-chip microcontrollers, WICED Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity stacks, NOR Flash memory, CapSense capacitive touch sensing, and Traveo automotive microcontrollers. Infineon Technologies completed its $9.4 billion acquisition of Cypress on April 16, 2020, and Cypress now operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Infineon. The former Cypress product lines (PSoC, AIROC formerly WICED, NOR Flash, CapSense, Traveo) remain in active development under Infineon branding, and the cypress.com domain redirects to infineon.com. The former Cypress developer surface — including PSoC Creator (legacy) and the modern ModusToolbox embedded development ecosystem — is now hosted on the Infineon GitHub organization (github.com/Infineon) which contains 2,143 public repositories spanning code examples, board support packages, HAL libraries, middleware, and configurators for PSoC, AIROC, Traveo, XMC, and AURIX device families. The original Cypress GitHub organization (github.com/cypresssemiconductorco) has been wound down to four placeholder repos that redirect users to the Infineon org. Cypress' APIs are predominantly embedded software APIs (C/C++ HAL, PDL, middleware libraries) rather than HTTP/REST surfaces, consumed by firmware engineers via ModusToolbox, Eclipse, and Visual Studio Code workflows. image: https://kinlane-productions2.s3.amazonaws.com/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg tags: - Acquired - Bluetooth - CapSense - Embedded Systems - Hardware - Infineon - IoT - Microcontrollers - NOR Flash - PSoC - Semiconductor - WiFi apis: - aid: cypress-semiconductor:modustoolbox name: ModusToolbox Software Ecosystem description: ModusToolbox is Infineon's modern embedded development ecosystem and the successor to Cypress' PSoC Creator. It is a collection of GUI and non-GUI tools, libraries, configurators, board support packages (BSPs), and middleware for building applications on PSoC Arm Cortex microcontrollers (inherited from Cypress), AIROC Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices (formerly Cypress WICED), TRAVEO T2G automotive microcontrollers (inherited from Cypress), XMC industrial microcontrollers, and USB-C Power Delivery microcontrollers. ModusToolbox runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, supports VS Code, Eclipse, and IAR IDEs, and ships with the GNU C compiler. The most recent stable release line as of 2026 is ModusToolbox v3.x (v3.7 reference in the Infineon developer community). tags: - AIROC - Embedded Development - IDE - ModusToolbox - PSoC - TRAVEO - XMC image: https://kinlane-productions2.s3.amazonaws.com/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg baseURL: https://www.infineon.com humanURL: https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/design-support/tools/sdk/modustoolbox-software/ properties: - url: https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/design-support/tools/sdk/modustoolbox-software/ type: Documentation - url: https://documentation.infineon.com/modustoolbox/docs/tpf1712593103524 type: APIReference - url: https://github.com/Infineon/modustoolbox-software type: GitHubRepository - url: https://github.com/Infineon/Code-Examples-for-ModusToolbox-Software type: CodeExamples - url: https://github.com/Infineon/training-modustoolbox type: Training - url: https://softwaretools.infineon.com/tools/com.ifx.tb.tool.modustoolbox type: SDK - url: https://community.infineon.com/t5/ModusToolbox/bd-p/ModusToolboxForum type: Support - aid: cypress-semiconductor:psoc-hal name: PSoC HAL and Peripheral Driver Library (PDL) description: The PSoC Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) and Peripheral Driver Library (PDL) are the C-language embedded APIs developers use to program Cypress-originated PSoC 4, PSoC 6, and PSoC Edge microcontrollers.
