A low cost portable oscilloscope for educational platforms using a Programmable System on Chip

Abstract

This paper discusses the design and implementation of a portable oscilloscope using a Programmable System on Chip (PSoC). The main aim of this paper is to highlight the use and need of a low cost system for student applications. The system was implemented using a PSoC 4 device and a Nokia 5110 LCD screen. Performance metrics were measured and compared to show tradeoffs between cost and performance.
