Cypress MicroSystems to Host Net Seminar: ''Designing PSoC Switch Capacitor Filters''; Seminar Will Be Broadcast on Tuesday, July 13 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time.LYNNWOOD, Wash. -- Cypress MicroSystems Cypress MicroSystems (CMS) markets high-performance, field Programmable System-on-a-Chip (PSoC) integrated M8 micro-based solutions. CMS is based in Lynnwood, near Seattle, Washington and was established as a subsidiary of Cypress Semiconductor Corporation in the fourth quarter of Inc., a subsidiary of Cypress Semiconductor Cypress Semiconductor is a semiconductor design and manufacturing company. It began operations in 1982 and listed publicly in 1986. Two years later, the company shifted over to the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol, (NYSE: CY). Corp. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :CY), today announced that it will host a one-hour web seminar on the process of designing a switch capacitor filter using the company's popular PSoC(TM) configurable mixed signal array device, which is capable of implementing up to four Universal Filter Blocks. The seminar, entitled "Designing PSoC Switch Capacitor Filters," will be broadcast live on July 13 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Filters are essential to the operation of electronic circuits, however many microcontroller programmers find it to be a difficult and complex subject. Cypress MicroSystems technology expert Dave Van Ess will address fundamental filter basics and guide participants through the process of designing a filter to meet their specific requirements.

If you are unable to attend this live event, the seminar will be available in archive for six months. About the Presenter: David Van Ess is a Principal Applications Engineer at Cypress MicroSystems. In his current position Mr. Van Ess provides application support, designs User Modules, teaches advanced analog training classes, and writes PSoC application notes. Mr. Van Ess graduated with a BSEE BSEE abbr. Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering degree from the University of California, Berkeley The University of California, Berkeley is a public research university located in Berkeley, California, United States. Commonly referred to as UC Berkeley, Berkeley and Cal . He is experienced in analog, digital, software and system design as well as digital signal processing See DSP. Digital Signal Processing - (DSP) Computer manipulation of analog signals (commonly sound or image) which have been converted to digital form (sampled). . Mr. Van Ess has six U.S. Patents for medical systems, signal processing, and digital block enhancements. About the PSoC Family A true system-on-a-chip, PSoC devices are configurable mixed signal arrays that integrate the microchip and related peripheral circuits typically found in an embedded design. Utilizing easy-to-use development tools, designers select configurable, pre-characterized library elements to provide analog functions such as amplifiers, ADS, DACs, filters and comparators and digital functions such as timers, counters, PWMs, SPI (1) (Stateful Packet Inspection) See stateful inspection. (2) (Service Provider Interface) The programming interface for developing Windows drivers under WOSA. and UARTs. PSoC analog performance includes rail-to-rail inputs, programmable gain, 14-bit ADCs, and analog modulator Modulator Any device or circuit by means of which a desired signal is impressed upon a higher-frequency periodic wave known as a carrier. The process is called modulation. The modulator may vary the amplitude, frequency, or phase of the carrier. . In addition to these configurable analog and digital blocks, PSoC devices include a fast 8-bit microcontroller, up to 32KB of Flash memory, 2KB of SRAM See static RAM. SRAM - static random-access memory , an 8x8 multiplier with 32-bit accumulator, power and sleep monitoring circuits, a precision real time clock and hardware I2C I2C Inter-Integrated Circuit I2C Intelligent Interface Controller I2C Intelligent Controller communications. All PSoC devices are dynamically reconfigurable, enabling designers to create new system functions on-the-fly. Re-using the same silicon for different functions on different clock cycles, designers can achieve more than 120 percent utilization of the die in many cases. In the automotive PSoC LIN bus reference design, the same transistors are re-used four times to support the different LIN communication modes; in doing so, these transistors consume less than 10 percent of PSoC hardware resources and less than 10 percent of the PSoC MCU (1) (MicroController Unit) A computer on a single chip. See microcontroller. (2) (Multipoint Control Unit) A device that is used to moderate a videoconference of three or more end points (users at computers or groups of users cycles. To further shorten design cycles, the PSoC family includes pre-programmed, specialized versions for lighting, energy, motor control, communications, automotive and battery applications. Each family member comes with a reference design and extensive application notes to speed application development.
