Hi,
I have an AC signal with a peak to peak amplitude of 0.5V and a frequency of 25Hz. I need to measure the RMS value of this signal. How do I connect this signal to the PSoC and measure the -ve part of the signal.
Thanks in advance for any pointers.

If your signal ground is isolated from PSoC ground, then you can bring out the AGND to an external pin of PSoC and connect the signal with respect to this AGND.
If your signal ground is same as VSS of PSoC, then the signal can be connected to the input of PSoC using a capacitor and biasing the input of PSoC to AGND. Check out the below article that has more details on both these methods.

Thank you very much for the fast response. My signal ground is not isolated from the PSoC Ground. So, I will use the C/R method of feeding the signal to the input of the PSoC. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
