Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ:CY) and National Institute
of Technology (NIT) announced a partnership to set up a new lab at
Calicut based on the PSoC® programmable system-on-chip. The
agreement was signed at NIT Calicut, by NIT Department Head,
Professor P.C Subramaniam and Cypress Director of Engineering,
Sunil Thamaran. The Lab was inaugurated by Institute Director Dr.
G.R.C. Reddy in December.
The new laboratory will expose the students to the PSoC
platform, a flexible family of devices with programmable analog and
digital blocks integrated with a microcontroller. With its unique
architecture, PSoC provides an unrivaled learning platform for
embedded design students. As part of the agreement, Cypress will
provide hands-on training to the faculty and students of NIT, along
with free hardware kits and software tools. NIT will provide the
facilities for the laboratory.
NIT will use PSoC as a tool to teach students about embedded
system design through theory and lab experiments. It has already
introduced the PSoC in its Electronics and Communication
Engineering curriculum and lab sessions. PSoC will be taught as a
part of an "Embedded System" course offered at the undergraduate
level in the December-June term.
"This agreement provides an opportunity for students to work in
cutting edge technology,” said Prof. Subramaniam. “PSoC contains
analog programmable parts, which are not available in usual
programmable devices. Many sixth semester students have expressed
their interest in doing their ‘mini project’ using PSoC. We hope
the interest of these students will be sustained and that they will
also opt to do their final year major project using PSoC. We expect
this relationship will be mutually beneficial to both NIT and
Cypress."
"We are pleased to partner with NIT on this new PSoC lab,” said
Sunil Thamaran. “These agreements are exactly what the Cypress
University Alliance is about - partnering with leading universities
and students to establish PSoC as the premier embedded design
learning platform."
