Simplify Programmable Logic Integration into Electronic Devices (Download)
For market growth to occur at desired levels, suppliers must meet consumer demand for compact electronic devices that integrate multiple functions. To satisfy this requirement, engineers in turn must balance function, power consumption, and space constraints while managing rising system costs.
This juggling act encompasses performance, size, and power efficiency—the trouble is that improving each element has become increasingly difficult. As systems grow more complex, traditional discrete logic designs often require multiple ICs to handle various functions, such as timing, resets, and voltage monitoring. Due to the number of individual components, these designs consume significant board space, increased power consumption, and higher manufacturing costs.
