But I was pleasantly surprised. Behind the bailouts, the Silicon Wizards are working hard to deliver the new technology that will drive the next wave of deeply embedded innovation. ESC is an opportunity to chat with really smart people. It’s all the better when I bump into Circuit Cellar readers who invariably have something interesting to say. One longtime reader was kind enough to say he enjoys reading my columns and gets a kick out of the way I turn a phrase in my titles. That gave me the idea of reusing a lot of those past titles in this ESC round-up. Kind of a reminder that the challenge of delivering more for less never ends. So let’s head back to the future. WORKING THE ’NET (CIRCUIT CELLAR 151, 2003) I’ve said everything with an electron moving will end up on the ’Net, and that’s not far from an exaggeration judging by all the action on the ESC show floor. WIZnet has announced plans to extend their unique hardware-TCP/IP approach by integrating an 8-bit ’51 MCU. This could make a nice platform for applications that need a network connection, but otherwise don’t need a lot of processing horsepower. Alternately, the chip could be programmed to serve as a low-cost yet decent performance network “coprocessor” to easily add “offloaded” Internet capability to existing embedded designs. |
