Hello All,
I have been trying to drive an external power MOSFET (IRFD113 - N Channel) with the PSoC 3 at ~20 kHz. The GPIO pin appears not to have enough drive strength to switch the FET with acceptable rise/fall times. I was thinking that the SIO pins might help with their improved current sinking capabilities (20mA vs. 4mA). Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might go about doing this? Could I parallel pins for improved drive strength?
Thanks,
Diode Dan
P.S. I am aware of external MOSFET gate driver ICs. I would love to see a clever PSoC only solution though!
Show LessHello,
I am currently developing a spectrometer for gamma radiation using the CY8C28433 for this project. I want to start the SAR10 ADC upon an external event (pulse detected by comparator). The SAR10 datasheet mentiones that the ADC may be started in autotrigger mode by a comparator output, i can´t find however a hardware trigger input on the SAR10. How do I trigger the SAR10 by hardware instead of software and how is the source connected ?

Hello,
I'm working on a project with CY8C29666-24LTXI.
I'm trying to reset the psoc with the macro M8C_Reset.
After the reset, the IMO clock of the psoc is out of tolerance, not calibrate.
Have you an explanation?
Condition of use:
U = 3.3V
Show Lesshello everyone!
I have some problems when I try to implement a project with amplifiers. the PSoC is CY8C29466, the input is a dc voltage from 0 to 15mv from a sensor, I want to achieve an output in the range 0 to 5V.
I selected a 3 op-amps and set the gain. however when I want to add a PGA after the INSAMP I find it seems impossible, can anybody tell me how to do that? btw, if i use a 2 op-amps it's possible...
the second problem is about the AGND, as is showed in the data sheet, the AGND is Vdd/2, and also can be set by the parameter ref mux in the global resource. since my interest signal is alwasy positive, so I tried to set Vss as reference voltage for 2 op-amp INSAMP and PGA, but the noise is quite big and I even can't observe the output signal...what's more, this method is impossible for 3 op-amp INSAMP. so I want to know may I set the "ref mux" p2[4]+/-p2[6] then connect p24 to GND and p26 to VSS?
thank you for your help!
We have release two new design guides on PowerPSoC hardware and firmware. These respective guides provide all the information you need to know about the FW and HW in one document each.
PowerPSoC Hardware Design Guidelines
http://www.cypress.com/?rID=35361
This document addresses the follow four key issues in any power conversion system design: thermal, layout, transient handling, and ESD. By gaining familiarity with these issues and employing suggested techniques and guidelines in these chapters, the designers will certainly improve the integrity of their designs and likelihood of first pass success.
PowerPSoC Firmware Design Guidelines
http://www.cypress.com/?rID=35365
This design guide describes a step by step process to build an HB LED driver using PowerPSoC. It is followed by sections on lighting control interfaces that describes the implementation of DMX512 and DALI protocols in PowerPSoC.
Hope you enjoy reading these documents.
Show LessHi to all,
I am doing work on blood glucose measurement with PSoC 3 , in that a current from test strip taken and converted to voltage and calibration if that interms of glucose.but as a sample i am giving current from IDAC component that is converted to voltage. this voltage i am giving to ADC to display it in volts , here upto PGA i am getting voltage but after giving to ADC i am getting Garbage value output on LCD.i think the problem here is with ADC ,can anyone help me regarding this.
thanks

Show LessCapacitive sensors(like Humidity sensor) can be interfaced with PSoC and capacitance of sensor can be measured using various methods namely
1. Configuring analog block as relaxation oscillator
2. Using the Capsense architecture itself which saves extra analog block and pins used in relaxation oscillator scheme.
So if you are using Capsense in your design u can also add capacitive sensors just as buttons.
Show Lesshello,
When ibuild my project in PSoC 5 I am facing Two ERROR
1) ""arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe"" failed with exit code '1',
2) few arguments to function "ADC_IsEndConversion"
I am Sending a pic related to this error
Please help me out of this.

Hello!
I have a simple question. Is it possible with a PSoC 5 First Touch into sleep mode to come? My PSoC 5 will not go into the ILO 1 kHz clock mode.In sleep mode, my board has a current of I = 40mA. What's the problem?
Can you help me with this problem?
