NJ Consultants' Network:

PSoC Mixed Signal Development

On Thursday, January 25, 2007, the IEEE Consultants' Network of Northern NJ is pleased to present ”PSoC Mixed Signal Development”, by Chris Mesibov.

About the Talk

CNNNJ is pleased to present a technical presentation about Cypress PSoC (Programmable System on Chip) mixed signal IC development.  Since its introduction, the Cypress PSoC has made dramatic inroads into embedded systems as a versatile mixed signal microcontroller.  The PSoC contains microcontroller, digital and analog functions that provide an embedded engineer a vast set of solution all within a single IC.  The discussion will describe what functions can be provided, how they are implemented, why engineers are choosing the PSoC over other micro controllers, and how the PSoC is used.  Application examples are examined and demonstrations of the software tools are given that provide insight into the powerful features and development environment available to the PSoC developer.

About the Speaker

Chris Mesibov is President of TechGenesis Inc.  His consulting business provides analog and digital design services and specializes in PSoC development.  Mr. Mesibov is a Cypress PSoC certified designer/developer and has 20+ years experience designing embedded systems for RF ATE systems for military avionics, cellular / satellite equipment, and power systems for telecom products.  His website is http://www.techgenesis1.com and can be reached by email at chris “AT” techgenesis1.com or by phone at (914) 584-2659.

About the Consultants’ Network

Founded in 1992, the IEEE Consultants Network of Northern NJ encourages and promotes the use of independent techni­cal consultants by business and industry.

All Welcome!

Everyone welcome.  No registration needed.  Free admission.

 

Time:  7:30 PM, Thursday., January 25,  2007.
