Overview

PSoC® 3 is a true programmable embedded system-on-chip integrating configurable analog and digital peripheral functions, memory and a microcontroller on a single chip. And the breakthrough new PSoC 3 architecture boosts performance through:

Integrated high-precision 20-bit resolution analog
Ultra low power with industry’s widest voltage range
Programmable PLD-based logic
Single-Cycle 8051 core up to 67 MHz

The PSoC 3 family extends the world's only programmable embedded system design platform, shattering your design limitations. Take advantage of high-precision programmable analog including 12- to 20-bit delta-sigma ADCs, a digital logic library with dozens of drop-in peripherals, best-in-class power management and rich connectivity resources. Implement your 8-, 16-, or 32-bit designs with the high-performance 8051 processors. PSoC 3 architecture includes high-precision, programmable analog resources that can be configured as ADCs, DACs, TIAs, Mixers, PGAs, OpAmps, and more. It also includes enhanced programmable-logic based digital resources that can be configured as 8-, 16-, 24- and 32-bit Timers, Counters, and PWMs, as well as more advanced digital peripherals such as Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), Pseudo Random Sequence (PRS) generators, and Quadrature decoders. Designers have a unique ability to customize this digital system through full featured general purpose PLD-based logic available in PSoC 3.
