Between ASIC and microcontroller: It's all about System Realization
I’ve been saving on an article that appeared in EETimes for a couple of weeks because it makes some very cogent points about System Realization, even though it’s not written with System Realization, or SoC Realization, or even Silicon Realization in mind. The article is titled “Bridging the gap between custom ASICs and ARM-based MCUs” and it was written by Mark Saunders, a Senior Product Marketing Manager at Cypress Semiconductor. The article is really about the Cypress Semiconductor PSOC (programmable SoC) family, which consists of devices that look a lot like microcontrollers with analog and digital peripheral configurability. Although the article is really about a Cypress product family, it covers many System Realization topics quite well, which is why we’re covering it here at EDA360 Insider.
