For well over 30 years, Micro/sys has been on the phone, responding to email, and at the bench in support of OEM designs. Our Field Application Engineers are part of your design team - but not at 2:00am. Sorry.

So you'll find here a selection of things we think you might find helpful - 24/7. Some of it pertains to Micro/sys products. Some of it pertains to other vendors' products, like CPU or peripheral chips. Some of it pertains to general embedded system design issues.

We've tried to organize it logically, but the source material doesn't always cooperate. So pick around and see if you can find what you're looking for.

Happy browsing!
