Greetings all!
We have an AC/DC converter application that we want to implement with the PSOC6 development board. We want to use the PSOC6 because of its floating point capability.
We want to make 4 simultaneous ADC measurements (input voltage, input current, output voltage, output current) at a rate of ~100kHz. I see that the PSOC6 only has the scanning SAR as an ADC option.
Question 1: How many SAR ADCs can I use in the PSOC6? I'm looking for a "resource explorer" tool that tells me how many analog blocks each ADC uses, and how many blocks I have left.
Question 2: Assuming that I do NOT have 4 ADCs available, then I will use 1 ADC and 4 sample/holds to achieve a "simultaneous" sampling effect. Is there a sample and hold component block for the PSOC6? Or should I make a "generic" one with an opamp + analog muxer + external capacitor?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello,
To your questions -
1. PSoC 6 supports only one SAR ADC in hardware because it only has one SAR block in hardware (the ADC is not made up multiple Analog blocks like PSoC 1 devices). Regarding resource explorer - PSoC Creator does support one. Go to "View -> Resource Meter" to see the resource usage.
2. PSoC 6 has two Op-amps that can be used to implement 2 S/H circuits with external caps. For 4, you will need 2 additional op-amps externally.
Let me know if this helps.
