PSoC 4: 32-bit Performance for $1
PSoC 4 has a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 system that upgrades legacy 8-bit and 16-bit systems
The ARM Cortex-M0 processes instructions three times faster than the MSP430 and 45 times faster than the PIC18
Faster instruction processing enables the ARM Cortex-M0 to spend more time in sleep modes,
reducing system power consumption
PSoC 4 also has programmable analog and digital blocks that integrate AFEs and digital glue logic
