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.

    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).

      the C-language embedded APIs developers use to program Cypress-originated PSoC 4, PSoC 6,
      and PSoC Edge microcontrollers. The mtb-hal-cat1 and mtb-pdl-cat1 libraries — distributed as
      ModusToolbox components — provide register-level and abstracted drivers for GPIO, SCB, TCPWM,
      Crypto, USB, and other PSoC peripherals. These libraries are the modern Infineon-branded
      replacement for the legacy Cypress PSoC Creator component library.

      ModusToolbox to build BLE peripherals, central applications, mesh networks, and Bluetooth
      audio products. WICED Studio has been deprecated in favor of ModusToolbox-based AIROC flows.
