1# MTB CAT1 Peripheral Driver Library
2
3### Overview
4The Cypress PDL simplifies software development for CAT1 family of devices.
5The PDL integrates device header files, and
6peripheral drivers into a single package. The drivers abstract the hardware functions into a set of
7easy-to-use APIs. These are fully documented in the [PDL API Reference Manual](https://infineon.github.io/mtb-pdl-cat1/pdl_api_reference_manual/html/index.html).

9This version of the PDL is compatible with ModusToolbox. It is not compatible
10with PSoC Creator. The most recent PSoC Creator-compatible version of the PDL
11is [available here](https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/design-support/software/device-driver-libraries/psoc-6-peripheral-driver-library-pdl-for-psoc-creator).

13### Features
14* Includes all the updates made to the peripheral drivers for ModusToolbox™ software
15* Contains standard set of CAT1 digital and analog peripheral drivers that enable rapid peripheral software development in third-party IDEs
16* The ARM Cortex® Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS) core access header files
17* CMSIS compliant device header files, startup code (platform initialization) and device configuration header files
18
19The PDL reduces the need to understand register usage and bit structures,
20thus easing software development for the extensive set of peripherals in the
21CAT1 series.
22See the [PDL API Reference Manual](https://infineon.github.io/mtb-pdl-cat1/pdl_api_reference_manual/html/index.html) for more detailed information.
23See the [PDL Release Notes](./RELEASE.md) for release-specific information.

25### Peripheral Drivers
26The PDL provides a high-level API to configure, initialize, and use a peripheral driver.
27The drivers are designed for peripheral IP blocks.
28See [PDL API Reference](https://infineon.github.io/mtb-pdl-cat1/pdl_api_reference_manual/html/modules.html) for the list of drivers.
