Automotive PSoC™ 4100
The automotive PSoC™ 4100 product family, based on this platform, is a combination of a microcontroller with digital programmable logic, high-performance analog-to-digital conversion, opamp with Comparator mode, and standard communication and timing peripherals.
The PSoC™ 4100 products will be fully upward compatible with members of the PSoC™ 4 platform for new applications and design needs. The programmable analog and digital subsystems allow flexibility and in-field tuning of the design.
