Cypress Semiconductor and The Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, have opened a new lab for collaborative research and development based on the PSoC® programmable system-on-chip. The lab was recently inaugurated by Professor V.S. Rao, Director, BITS-Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, and Patrick Kane, Director of Cypress’s University Alliance.

Cypress set up the PSoC lab at BITS, Hyderabad and donated twenty PSoC kits as well as PSoC DesignerTM software. The lab exposes students to the PSoC platform, a flexible family of devices with programmable analog and digital blocks integrated with a microcontroller. A large number of experiments in the analog and digital communication labs are designed around the PSoC platform, which is tightly integrated into the curriculum and student learning. With many students engaged in wireless, medical and remote sensing projects, PSoC plays a pivotal role in providing them with hands-on experience creating solutions for embedded systems.

“Cypress Semiconductor already works closely with the Pilani and Goa campuses of BITS. We are happy that the Hyderabad campus is also a part of the Cypress network and look forward to developing some interesting applications around their flagship PSoC products, said Professor V.S. Rao.

Cypress will also train faculty members on PSoC and other leading Cypress technologies.
