PSOC CAD, BSDL, and IBIS files

PSOC™ 6 CAD Library Files

PSOC™ 6 CAD libraries provide footprint and schematic support for common PCB design software like Allegro, Altium. CAD libraries for the various product families are listed in the table below.

PSOC™ 6 BSDL Files

Boundary-Scan Description Language (BSDL) is a subset of VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) that describes how boundary-scan (JTAG) is implemented in a device and how the device operates. It defines the data transport characteristics of the device, how it captures, shifts, and updates scanned data. Boundary-scan tools usually require that the user supply BSDL files for the devices being used in order to properly generate test vectors and perform in-system programming and functional testing.

PSOC™ 6 BSDL files for the various product families are listed in the below table.

PSOC™ 6 IBIS Files

“Input/Output (I/O) Buffer Information Specification” (IBIS) is a text file that contains electrical characteristics of a device. The type of information provided in the file is useful for PC-board design where signal integrity and timing analysis is done to design a part into a system.

PSOC™ 6 IBIS files for the various product families are listed in the below table.
