PSoC Expands Capabilities

The company's latest PSoC mixed-signal array expands functionality with an enhanced ADC for faster analog sampling and 8 KB of flash memory for complex algorithm processing. Its mixed-signal architecture integrates programmable analog and digital blocks with an eight-bit microcontroller. The CY8C23x33 device features an eight-bit SAR ADC to enable a sampling rate of 375 Ksamples/s. Other features include 26 GPIOs, a 5 mm x 5 mm QFN package, four digital blocks including two basic and two communication blocks, and four analog blocks including two continuous-time and two switched-capacitor blocks. One of the digital blocks is a dedicated hardware I2C block. CYPRESS SEMICONDUCTOR CORP., San Jose, CA. (800) 541-4736.
