Cypress Semiconductor Corp. and National Institute of Technology (NIT) have announced a partnership to set up a new lab at Calicut based on the PSoC programmable system-on-chip. The agreement was signed at NIT Calicut, by NIT Electronics Engineering Department Head, Professor P.C Subramaniam and Cypress Director of Engineering, Sunil Thamaran. The Lab was inaugurated by Institute Director Dr. G.R.C. Reddy in December.
The new laboratory will expose the students to the PSoC platform, a flexible family of devices with programmable analog and digital blocks integrated with a microcontroller. With its unique architecture, PSoC provides an unrivaled learning platform for embedded design students. As part of the agreement, Cypress will provide hands-on training to the faculty and students of NIT, along with free hardware kits and software tools. NIT will provide the facilities for the laboratory.
NIT will use PSoC as a tool to teach students about embedded system design through theory and lab experiments. It has already introduced the PSoC in its Electronics and Communication Engineering curriculum and lab sessions. PSoC will be taught as a part of an "Embedded System" course offered at the undergraduate level in the December-June term.
