Most deeply embedded
applications or everyday measurement and control applications require:
-
8- or 16- bit performance for the I/O channel
-
Small form factors
-
Low power consumption

The Future: USB, I2C
and SPI
Chipset roadmaps indicate the embedded market is on the cusp of a USB boom
|
-
USB is the leading HOST choice: ATOM,
Pentium, ARM, Microcontrollers, PIC32, PIC24
-
USB is the leading CLIENT choice: Control,
Mass Storage, and Communication…(Microchip, Delkin Devices, Trimble…)
-
USB is the leading SOFTWARE choice:
Windows CE, Windows XP, Linux, Mentor Graphics, DDC-I, Microcontroller tool
chains…
