What's your ideas about PSoC ( Programmable system on chip)

hi
I'm electronic engineering student and I wanna specialize on embedded systems. This topic (Programmable system on chip) have my interest for a long time but I haven't got enough information.

I used to motorola chips (HC11&HCS12,68xxx) with asm and C. Is it good choice for me to learning PSoC? what are it's applications, availibility , usage, future... Please share your experiences..

I wanna buy this

PSoC development tool

is PSoC.. somethin like FPGA? wow it would be great to have a FPGA like SoC..!! would change the entire phase of ASIC design...

can u enlighten us more on PSoC mr.Kilroy?

with regards,
arun

Hello,
There is a YAHOO group for PSoC Microcontroller.

Hello,
Which PSoC device is good for starting the PSoC.

About the PSoC Family
PSoC devices are configurable mixed signal arrays that integrate a fast 8-bit microcontroller with many peripheral functions typically found in an embedded design." PSoC devices provide the advantages of an ASIC without the ASIC NRE or turn-around time. A single PSoC device can integrate as many as 100 peripheral functions with a microcontroller, saving customers design time, board space, power consumption. Customers can save from 5 cents to as much as $10 in system costs. Easy to use development tools enable designers to select configurable library elements to provide analog functions such as amplifiers, ADCs, DACs, filters and comparators and digital functions such as timers, counters, PWMs, SPI and UARTs. The PSoC family's analog features include rail-to-rail inputs, programmable gain amplifiers and up to 14-bit ADCs with exceptionally low noise, input leakage and voltage offset. PSoC devices include up to 32KB of Flash memory, 2KB of SRAM, an 8x8 multiplier with 32-bit accumulator, power and sleep monitoring circuits, and hardware I2C communications.

All PSoC devices are dynamically reconfigurable, enabling designers to create new system functions on-the-fly. Designers can achieve more than 120 percent utilization of the die in many cases, by reconfiguring the same silicon for different functions at different times. In the automotive PSoC LIN bus reference design, the same digital blocks are reconfigured four times to support the different LIN communication modes; in doing so, these blocks consume less than 10 percent of PSoC hardware resources and less than 10 percent of the PSoC MCU cycles.

You should use the CY8C27443 with 8 digital blocks and 16 analog blocks, 16 k flash, it is cheap and has all basic soc's character.
