[General] cypress semiconductor microcontroller

[Dinuwilson]

Hai...guy's,
Ii need a 14 bit or 16 bit ADC in a micro controller and low cost also. when i check net I got this cypress semiconductor PSOC series. I have experience only on PIC and AVR micro controller .. i need some advice.. how is this PSOC and do you know any other micro controller's with same feature?

please replay with your suggestion's

psoc are unique when you want to have the analog AND the digital part in the same chip.
you can buy a psoc4 kit for $4 and play with their free programmer IDE to have an idea
then the psoc4 has only 12 bits adc so you have to move to a psoc1 (older ide and architecture)
or to a récent psoc3 or psoc5 but the chips are quite expensive, but very powerful.

if i buy this psoc4 kit. how can i program this kit. could i need to buy a programmer along with this

FreeSoC is better. Email Cypress and they will provide technical help.
