Hello all,
I am working with a PSoc3 chip. First time using the PSoC, and I am wondering can I send a sine wave into an analog input to a low pass filter inside the PSoC? Since the PSoC is running at 3.3vdc the sine wave will canter on 1.5vdc and swing approximately 1vp/p.
Is this allowable or is the analog input DC level only? Also, if the answer is YES that I can send a sinewave into the device, can I take th eoutput of my PWM, and send it through an internal integrator and output a sine wave?
Thank you in advance.
Jim

Yes, you can send in a sine wave to the PSoC3 - its inputs are perfectly capable to handle AC inputs (up to several MHz, depending on the voltage levels). But you cannot go below ground or above Vdda with your signal - but your proposed signal would be fine even with 3.3V Vdda.
I think there is no internal integrator, but you should be able to build one by yourself using the inernal OpAmps and some external capacitors / resistors. Or you go experimental and digitize the signal and feed it into the digital filter...

Always examine data sheets to see if you are working withg R-R Inputs
and outputs, otherwise limited CM range will limit pk-pk swings.
To offset signals into PSOC you can ac couple to a simple divider that
supplies the offset to the input. Or you can use the following which eliminates
couplig cap, just uses two R's -

For PWM integrator, a simple RC network offten surfices. This ap note discusses tradeoff of
settling time and ripple in the RC filter.
