CHIPS Act: State of the Art or State of the Practice?

I recently came across an 8-bit PIC MCU data sheet that predates 1982. That means it also predates Microchip as a company (incorporated in 1989), making it a remnant of bygone General Instruments days.
Now, 40 (!) years later, Microchip has released five new families of 8-bit PIC and AVR devices. In total, these families represent more than 60 SKUs that include new features such as ADCs with computation, multi-voltage I/O, and smart peripherals like software-controlled op amps that improve performance while simplifying embedded development (Figure 1). But at their core, they’re still 8-bit MCUs like the one from General Instruments.

2 年that's a good article: “how would you spend the money? On state of the art or state of the practice”?. Thought-provoking and indicative of the complete lack of understanding of the ground up supply chain once product leaves a semiconductor manufacturers dock.
