First question asked Welcome!

Dear Cypress colleagues and experienced PSoC users,
I am seeking advice regarding whether PSoC 6 would be a suitable platform for developing my application.
The application is a pulse counter. I need to count random non-periodic pulses. All pulses are identical and have amplitude of 3.3V and a fixed duration of 20ns. The counter should be able to count up to 20 million counts per second.
To avoid missing pulses I need access to the clock running at 48MHz or higher.
Would that be achievable with PSoC 6?

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Best regards,
Q

PSoC 6 has multiple fixed-function counters that can be clocked up to 100 MHz.  You can configure them to count on rising/falling edges or level.

So yes, PSoC 6 can satisfy your requirements.
