PSoC (Programmable System-on-Chip) is a family of mixed-signal arrays made by Cypress Semiconductor, featuring a microcontroller and integrated analog and digital peripherals.
The real strength of PSoC versus a fixed-purpose ASIC comes from their ability to modify the behavior and configuration of the individual digital and analog components dynamically while in use. A systems designer can implement multiple devices out of the same semiconductor circuitary. For example, part of a vending machine electronics machinery could be automatically re-programmed to report its inventory and have replenishments ordered at midnight.
