Building block approach to adding analogue
1 min read
Cypress Semiconductor has announced that Micrium's uC/OS-III real time operating system (rtos) supports Cypress's PSoC 5 development platform. According to Cypress, the programmable analogue and digital peripherals in PSoC 5, along with the 32bit ARM Cortex-M3 processor, position PSoC 5 for demanding applications such as industrial, medical, automotive, and consumer equipment.
PSoC 5 devices have been designed to offer integrated analogue resources and PLD based Universal Digital Blocks for implementing standard and custom digital peripherals.
"For years, it was difficult to combine analogue circuitry and digital components," said Jean Labrosse, president and ceo of Micrium. "The PSoC 5 platform offers a very simple yet powerful building block approach to adding analogue. Micrium's expertise with the Cortex M3 processor and our strong education and support capabilities offer rapid time to market and ease of implementation advantages to PSoC 5 users targeting the embedded space."
Micrium's uC/OS-II and uC/OS-III are kernels designed specifically to address the requirements of embedded systems. The uC/OS-III port for the Cortex-M family uses assembly language optimisations to achieve maximum efficiency in frequently executed kernel functions.
Both kernels can each be used alone or in conjunction with other software components from Micrium's product line up.
