Hi ppl,
I would like to give a small task to the forum followers.
Please come up with as many different possibilities of designing VCO in PSoC Creator without using a single external component. In the course of it we shall explore a lot about PSoC.

Why is your goal not to use any external components (not even a C). I feel like that will restrict the capabilities of that VCO.

Oh, and the last episode of Dave van Ess's PSoCToday shows a digital solution of a VCO, have a look at that video...

Is VCO to be striclty analog, albeit SC allowed, like an integrator, or a
digital approach, like use of A/D, DAC, PWM ?
I concur, the restriction, no external cap, severly limits allowed range
due to small siz of onchip caps and leakage current.
Regards, Dana.

The easiest way to do it is to use ADC and set a free running counter with the value based on the ADC.

well people, very cool replies.
i guess we can use a Cmod Capacitor onboard (cap used for capsense)along with idac (remember idacs can be made to both source and sink currents). no counters,no adcs required.
can somebody frame the circuit for it? we will actually end up with a peculiar result. we can keep exploring on it.
