Analog and Mixed Signal Based System on Chip - Shivaprasad Tilekar - Bog

Revolutions in the VLSI field emerges an innovative technology called ¿Analog and Mixed Signal (AMS) based Programmable System on Chip (PSoC) design¿. It plays significant role on the growth of electronic systems. The PSoC devices from Cypress Semiconductors are becoming more pervasive due to their remarkable features such as integrability, configurability of the on-chip resources, availability of promising processing cores of 32 bit philosophy, etc. The PSoC devices have a key feature of dynamic reconfigurability by making use of which, it is possible to integrate both analog as well as digital cores to ensure the mixed signal SoC design. For measurement of physiochemical parameters, the designer has to play with the analog signals, which are sometimes available at very high input impedance. The PSoC devices are having analog core of ultra high input impedance and therefore, the use of PSoC devices for measurement of physical parameters are highly suitable. To investigate various intrinsic properties of the compositions, either in solid or liquid form, the measurement of physiochemical parameters is essential.
