Design restraint

Much as been written of how much was left out of the iPad introduced last week. Why would anybody want to get something less than what it could be?

Microchip's acquisition of ZeroG is a smart move
I've been critical in the past towards Microchip and some of their business moves (Atmel, MIPS, etc.). But this time, with the acquisition of ZeroG Wireless, I believe they've made a great move. ZeroG is a provider of embedded WiFi, and where better to embed that WiFi but inside one of Microchip's microcontrollers (MCUs). Over time, and I'm guessing it'll be a very short time, that WiFi will show up in many of the MCUs that span the popular 8-, 16-, and 32-bit families that Microchip is known for.

I know there's been a lot of collaboration between the two companies in the recent past, so integrating ZeroG into Microchip should not be that difficult. The hardware side of that integration is pretty straightforward. In the first phase, it's a matter of fitting all the appropriate blocks onto the die. The second phase will be to optimize that die for power and cost.

The part that's a little tougher is to integrate the software between the two companies. It's not as easy as running Company's A's stack on top of Company B's firmware, although that could work in the short term. To really give customers a solution that makes sense, a complete software integration is needed. And I have no doubt that Microchip can provide that.

DRAM maker fights drug traffic
Rexchip Electronics Corp., a DRAM manufacturer in Taiwan, has gone to the dogs. Or, is it battling drug traffic and selling DRAM at the same time? Rexchip was established in 2006, as a 300-mm DRAM manufacturing joint venture between Taiwan's Powerchip Semiconductor Corp. and Japan's Elpida Memory Inc. Today, Rexchip is a subsidiary of Elpida.
