Workshop on PSoC [Programmable System on Chip]

Botrio designs and develops experiential learning tools. The vision of the company is to develop and promote the spirit of science and technology to students, enabling them to have hands on feel of technology and its applications. Our core belief lies in propagating the concept of learning by doing - Knowledge by action. Some of our current clients include IIT-Bombay, IITBhubaneswar, IT-BHU, NIT-Durgapur, MITCOE-Pune, Amrita University-Coimbatore, Karunya University, ITM-Gwalior and many more. PSoC is a true programmable embedded system-on-chip integrating configurable analog and digital peripheral functions, memory and a microcontroller on a single chip. PSoC is the product of Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: CY) which is a Silicon Valley-based semiconductor design and manufacturing company. The Indian semiconductor and embedded design industry is projected to grow from $3.3 billion in 2005 to $43 billion in 2015. This tremendous rate of growth will require a large number of skilled professionals. Expansion plans by MNCs and NASSCOM suggest embedded systems to be the next sunrise sector. This technical training provides hands-on experience with Cypress's industry-leading technology. This enables students to enter the workforce with the skills necessary to be quickly productive in the fast-paced world of electronics engineering disciplines. During the training students will be introduced to PSoC technology, architecture, Programmer & Creator. Students will be trained on Embedded C, implementation of analog and digital peripherals. The training includes hands-on projects resulting in exploration of fundamentals of Embedded Systems. Students will be awarded with the Cypress Semiconductor Corporation authorized certificate under the Cypress University Alliance initiative after clearing the evaluation test. Cypress Semiconductor Certified Professionals will be conducting this workshop. They have delivered workshop in IITs, NITs and other premier engineering colleges across India. The proposed workshop will be a 14 Hour programme spread over 2 Days, document containing session plan are in the following pages.

I.] FAQs [Frequently Asked Questions]:

1.) More info on Cypress SemiconductorCypress Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: CY) is a Silicon Valley-based semiconductor design and manufacturing company founded by T. J. Rodgers and others from Advanced Micro Devices. Its headquarters are in San Jose, California, and it has divisions in the United States, Ireland, India and Philippines as well as a fabrication plant in Minnesota. Cypress delivers high-performance, mixed-signal, programmable solutions that provide customers with rapid time-to-market and exceptional system value. Cypress offerings include the PSoC programmable system-on-chip, USB controllers, general-purpose programmable clocks and memories. Cypress also offers wired and wireless connectivity technologies ranging from its CyFi Low-Power RF solution, to West Bridge and EZ -USB FX2LP controllers that enhance connectivity and performance in multimedia handsets. Cypress serves numerous markets including consumer, computation, data communications, automotive, and industrial. 2.) Why PSoC? The Indian semiconductor and embedded design industry is projected to grow from $3.3 billion in 2005 to $43 billion in 2015. This tremendous rate of growth will require a large number of skilled professionals. PSoC has become industry favorite platform to work on. PSoC is used in devices as simple as Sonicare toothbrushes and Adidas sneakers, and as complex as the TiVo set-top box. One PSoC, using Cap Sense, controls the touch-sensitive scroll wheel on the Apple iPod click wheel. Knowledge of PSoC will be helpful to the students to get placed in core companies. Extensive knowledge on embedded systems and certification from Cypress Semiconductor make this course a 100% benefit for the students looking their career in embedded systems domain. 3.) Fee of the workshop seems to be expensivewhy? PSoC is a high end embedded platform and it is rarely available in the market as a development platform because of its expensive cost. Our technical team with partnership with the Cypress Semiconductor has managed to develop platform with students basic requirement perspect ive and has managed to get the best cost for the student. After the course student will be getting the platform as a part of the kit which can be used to build projects and also the training will be conducted by Cypress Certified Engineers to ensure Cypress Standards. Students are also provided with the option of non-take away training where they can get to know about the technology get extensive hands on experience and later can buy the platform at discounted price.
