Turn an iPod, iPhone or iPad into an Oscilloscope

Cypress Semiconductor Corp. has announced that Oscium has selected the PSoC 3 programmable system-on-chip for its new iMSO-104 mixed signal oscilloscope for iPod touch, iPhone and iPad. The PSoC 3 device in the iMSO-104 manages the two-way communication between the oscilloscope and any iOS device via Apple's proprietary dock connector, and also processes the incoming analog and digital signals.

The iMSO-104 from Oscium is a mixed-signal oscilloscope that leverages Apple's iOS devices. According to the company, it is the smallest, most portable scope available. It has a 5 MHz bandwidth and up to 12 MSPS (megasamples per second) sample rate, while simultaneously analyzing up to one analog and four digital signals. It is used in conjunction with the iMSO app, available for download from the Apple App Store.

Oscium engineers were able to interface to iOS devices using Cypress's CY8CKIT-023 PSoC Expansion Board Kit For iPhone and iPod Accessories, a plug-in board to Cypress's CY8CKIT-001 PSoC Development Kit. The kit streamlines design of mobile accessories using the PSoC programmable system-on-chip architecture.

The iMSO-104 sells for US $279.99.
