Safety Information The CY8CKIT-036 PSoC Thermal Management Expansion Board Kit is intended for use as a development platform for hardware or software in a laboratory environment. The board is an open system design, which does not include a shielded enclosure. Due to this reason the board may cause interference to other electrical or electronic devices in close proximity.

Handling Boards CY8CKIT-036 boards are sensitive to ESD. Hold the board only by its edges. After removing the board from its box, place it on a grounded, static free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if available. Do not slide board over any surface.
CY8CKIT-036 with various PSoC devices. Refer to the kit webpage www.cypress.com/go/CY8CKIT-036 for the latest information on using CY8CKIT-036 with various PSoC devices. The webpage will be updated as new PSoC devices and development kits that work with CY8CKIT-036 are released to the market. 1.2.1 Beginner Resources An overview of various PSoC devices is available at www.cypress.com/psoc/.
1.2.2 Hardware Requirements CY8CKIT-036 is designed to connect with the expansion ports of the various PSoC development kits so you can use one EBK to evaluate the entire portfolio of PSoC devices. Table 1-1 lists the hardware requirements for using CY8CKIT-036 with various PSoC devices.
Each component in the rich mixed-signal Cypress Component Catalog is configured with a component customizer and includes a full set of dynamically generated API libraries. After the PSoC system has been configured, firmware can be written, compiled, and debugged within PSoC Creator or exported to top IDEs from IAR, Keil, and Eclipse.
1.2.4 Application Notes and Projects Cypress offers many application notes that pertain to CY8CKIT-036. Application notes cover the topics of four-wire fan control and temperature sensing using PSoC devices; they also provide associated projects. The Kit Operation section of this guide lists related application notes. In a thermal management application, the PSoC chip senses the temperature and controls the fan;...
2.1 Kit Overview Figure 2-1 shows the CY8CKIT-036 EBK. The circuits associated with each sensor are boxed and labeled in the figure. The kit has two onboard four-wire fans, PWM temperature sensors, transistors connected in diode configuration, an I temperature sensor, and a one-wire temperature sensor. The kit also provides sockets for plugging in additional four-wire...
PWM control signal The fans require a 12-V power supply and usually take about 0.5 A of input current. The CY8CKIT-036 EBK includes a 12-V DC high-current power supply that is capable of providing the inrush current needed by the fans installed on the kit.
CONV/IN input of the subsequent sensor. The OUT signal of the second sensor carries the PWM signals from both sensors. Many sensors can be daisy-chained in this fashion, with the final OUT signal carrying the PWM temperature encoding from all sensors in the daisy chain. Jumper J2 on the CY8CKIT-036 EBK, as shown in Figure...
2.3.3 One-Wire Digital Temperature Sensor The CY8CKIT-036 EBK has a Maxim DS18S20 one-wire, high-precision digital temperature sensor installed. The DS18S20 digital thermometer provides 9-bit resolution Celsius temperature measurements and has an alarm function with nonvolatile user-programmable upper and lower trigger points. The DS18S20 communicates over a proprietary one-wire bus that by definition requires only one data line (and ground) to communicate with a host microprocessor.
2.5 CY8CKIT-036 EBK 2x20 Pin Header The 40-pin interface (2x20 pin header) provides a mechanism to connect CY8CKIT-036 EBK to a Cypress development kit platform. Table 2-2 lists the pin assignments of the 2x20 connector. Table 2-2. 2x20 Connector Pin Assignments...
2.6 CY8CKIT-036 EBK Headers and Jumpers The CY8CKIT-036 EBK provides numerous jumpers. Table 2-3 lists the default jumper settings for the board. Table 2-3. CY8CKIT-036 EBK Jumper Settings Headers and Factory Default Jumpers Description Configuration Five-pin header for connecting an external host or management processor via I2C/SMBus/PMBus.
The Appendix contains a schematic of the CY8CKIT-036 EBK, along with circuits associated with the four-wire fans and the different onboard temperature sensors. This section describes the theory of operation for each of those hardware sub- blocks in the EBK.
These application notes provide example projects that demonstrate different usage modes of four-wire fan control. In addition, they include a thermal management example project that uses the temperature sensors on the CY8CKIT-036 EBK to control the speed of the fans associated with a thermal zone.
The code examples in the application note use an external calibration resistor for measuring the current ratio accurately. The calibration resistor is not part of CY8CKIT-036 and needs to be connected externally on the PSoC DVK used. Refer to the respective PSoC application notes for the value of the calibration resistor and for connection details.
SMBus interfaces and is specified for a temperature range of −40° C to +125° C. The TMP175 features three address pins, allowing up to eight devices to be connected per bus. In the CY8CKIT-036 EBK, the three address pins (A2, A1, A0) are tied to ground, and the sensor address is 7’b1001000.
