Title: Mixed-Signal Design with Programmable System-on Chip

Date: Thursday October 29th, 2009
Place: Bossone 302

Abstract
John Wisniewski, Principal Applications Engineer will present a 1 hour session on simplifying your system designs by using programmable analog.  This discussion will be based on three different PSoC (Programmable System on Chip) family architectures. After describing each basic architecture the presentation will dive deep into the programmable analog blocks and how they can be used to solve typical design issues as well as be used creatively in non-traditional applications.  The presentation will discuss how user modules and solutions are created by using configurable continuous time and switched capacitor blocks, hard analog IP as well as configu stions and discussion are heavily encouraged.
