IEEE Lecture Invitation: Programmable Systems on Chip

It gives me great pleasure to invite you to the third engineering lecture of the spring 2008 lecture series organized by the IEEE Jordan section with the kind cooperation of the Computer, Electrical, and Mechatronics Engineering departments at the University of Jordan.

Title:Programmable Systems on Chip
Speaker: Eng. Ziad R. Al-Khatib
Venue: Saeed Al Mufti Auditorium,
University of Jordan, Faculty of Engineering and Technology
Date and Time: Monday, 21/4/2008, 12:30-1:30 pm

Talk Abstract

The PSoC mixed-signal arrays are programmable system-on-chip (SOC) that integrates a microcontroller with analog and digital components. A single PSoC device can integrate as many as 100 peripheral functions such as filters and comparators with a microcontroller, saving design time, components, board space, power consumption, and costs. This lecture discusses how the analog devices can be programmed, main features and functionality of the PSoC, development tools, and how it can be used in a design with practical examples. The development tools enable designers to select the precise peripheral functionality they desire, including:

Analog functions (amplifiers, ADCs, DACs, filters, and comparators)
Digital functions (timers, counters, PWMs, SPI, and UARTs)
Communications interface (I2C, SPI, USB, .)

Also in this lecture, the PSoC Designer, which is a free GUI-based Integrated Development Environment, will be presented together with the PSoC Programmer which is a standalone application to program PSoC devices. The PSoC Express which is a visual design tool that enables the engineer to go from concept to embedded ASIC in one hour or less. This tool allows the designer to auto-generate a data sheet, schematic, and bill of materials.
