A startup company from Southern California has made use of the increased availability and lower cost of multi-die packaging to offer custom microcontrollers. It reckons this approach and the advent of the Internet of Things could make the world its oyster.
The company, which trades as Indie Semiconductor, was founded as AyDeeKay LLC by four engineers in 2007 although work got going in 2009.
The problem the team chose to address is the well-known one that achieving the right mix of peripherals on a microcontroller for any given application, and thereby saving power and cost, is almost impossible. Indeed, most microcontroller families, which can include 100s of stock-keeping units or SKUs, are often created by laying down the superset of peripherals and memory, and then disabling different parts of the design to create particular family members.
