Acknowledgement
No part of this work would have been possible without the active support and guidance of Dr
M.K. Deshmukh. His commitment to ensuring relevancy of work and ease of use for future users made me
choose this as topic for the special project.
I sincerely thank the encouragement by Mr M T Abhilash, Lab-in-charge, PSoC Lab, BITS
Pilani Goa Campus who has allowed students like us access to lab facilities often at odd hours. I have possibly
lost count for the number of times a talk with Mr Amalin Prince has let me out of desperation and made me
continue work with renewed vigor.
Since, this project has been a culmination of my learning at BITS Pilani Goa Campus over four
years, I would like to thank all my instructors especially Mrs Anita Agrawal, Mr Nitin Sharma, Mr A Khadke
whose approach to problem solving has taught me many lessons some of which I have tried to incorporate in
this work.
I would be erring if I did not thank my friends and the lab assistants especially Vijay Kumar
Patil, Prakash Lamani, T K Prince who have helped me during the testing phase of the various experiments over
the summer break.
Of course, none of this would ever have been possible without the support from Cypress
Semiconductors, San Jose. Mr Ashish Garg, Strategic Marketing Engineer, Mr Kaushik Subhramaniam
Narayanan have been our companions through this journey. Equally significant have been the support of Mr
Kamal Gunsagar, Vice President, Business Development, Cypress Semiconductor, Mr Patrick Kane, Director,
Cypress University Alliance, Mr Jeff Dahlin, Principal Application Engineer, Mr Dave van Ess, Principal
Application Engineer and Chief of Technical Staff, Mr Ganesh Raja, the PSoC Master who have all regularly
reviewed the work done and have made suggestions.
I sincerely hope that future readers of the accompanying lab manual and hand book make
maximum use of the projects and be able to successfully design their own systems
. At the end of this work, I
have been convinced of one thing – “The possibilities are limitless. It is for us to go and explore”.
