Hi - I ran into PSOCs a little while ago - and I'm having trouble figuring out *what* exactly they are... Cypress calls it a "mixed signal array" - which is a term that I'm not very familiar with. They say it has a microcontroller, along with a number of configurable "elements" (that can be set to be ADCs, DAC, timers, PWM, etc.) But my understanding of a microcontroller is that it essentially is a microprocessor with a number of devices already built in - so what exactly is the difference here? Sorry - I'm sure this is a really simple question - I guess I'm just getting confused by the terminology. Regards,
