Fundamentals of Programmable AnalogNew!
It's still an analog world and nowhere is that clearer than in applications from consumer and automotive to medical and industrial, where analog signals from the myriad sensors these devices contain must be detected, amplified, conditioned and converted to enable their processing in the digital domain.
While it's clear that such systems require a mix of both analog and digital, those analog components tend to be discrete in nature and so add to cost, space and power overhead. This overhead can be greatly mitigated by integrating a large portion of those analog components with the digital portion of the circuit design in what is called a programmable system-on-chip, or PSoC.
PSoC 3 / PSoC 5 201: Analog Peripherals IINew!

Application Notes

Communication - Programmable I2C Addressing - AN2088New!
This article demonstrates how to change addresses for multiple devices on an I2C bus without having to reprogram.

Blood Pressure Monitor with PSoC® - AN58128New!
Blood pressure is one of the vital signs in the human body. It is measured using both invasive and non invasive techniques. This application note demonstrates how to build a non invasive blood pressure monitor using the PSoC®. This design does not use any external active components to buffer, amplify, and filter the signal.

Communication - PSoC(R) with Scrolling LCD - AN2116New!
Allows the user to read any information that is sent by the software to the PSoC at 300 bps data rate on a scrolling LCD screen.

Capacitance Sensing - Waterproof Capacitance Sensing - AN2398New!
Capacitance sensing systems can be used in applications that are exposed to rain or water. Such applications include automotive applications, outdoor equipment, ATMs, public access systems, portable devices such as cell phones, PDAs, and kitchen and bathroom applications. This Application Note discusses using capacitance sensing on systems that must continue operating under moisture, rain or water drops. The proposed technique prevents false touch detection even when the sense area is covered completely with water.

Squeeze More Code Into Your PSoC
New compiler technology effectively doubles the Flash on your existing PSoC® by achieving nearly twice the code density of existing compilers. By optimizing pointers, registers and stacks, it can also free up 10% to 15% of SRAM resources. With "omniscient code generation" (OCG) technology, you can keep growing that application in the PSoC® device you are currently using.
