Prereq: some programming experience; previous intro to circuits

Teams comprised of 2-4 students will compete in a Progammable System on a Chip
(PSoC) design competition using Cypress CY8CKIT-050 PSoC development boards.

The goal of the competition is to design a slave with associated peripherals and
memory components around an ARM Cortex-M3 (already embedded in the PSoC 5
device), along with associated firmware to demonstrate a correctly working
system that can I/F with a provided master system. The first session will be a
combination of lecture and hands on labs that will introduce the students
to PSoC and its design environment PSoC Creator. The second session will be on
topics required for successful completion of the design such as
CapSense, I2C, digital filtering etc. The third session will be a 'hacker' day to
put together the design. Each team will have 5 minutes to present their
version of the solution.

Space will be limited. To apply, please e-mail your full name, MIT class year
and major, and your MIT e-mail address to iap-psoc@mit.edu. We'll let you  know
after December 1st if you've got a spot in the class.
