IN THIS ISSUE: Handheld Portables
Flash Gordon Wouldn't Believe His Eyes!
by Clive "Max" Maxfield
I feel extremely fortunate to have been born when I was (in 1957). I personally think I have lived through some very exciting times. Of course I'm sure many folks have said the same thing in the past. For example, there were no cars or airplanes when my grandfather was a kid; a television was not something my father ever expected to own when he was young; and when my mother was growing up, she didn't have electricity in the house until 1943!

Dream Big and Design Small
Portable electronic design is becoming more challenging as new product revisions require additional features and improved performance while demand for longer battery life increases. These demands in the portable market include low active and static power consumption, small footprint packages, design security, higher integration, and live at power-up operation. FPGAs can help you overcome your design challenges.

Handheld Devices Have Feelings Too
Whether the device is a smart phone, music player or a digital camera, some basic components are common to all, each with various levels of function and complexity.
But what about the feelings of a handheld device? These devices need to be seen, touched, fed, and cared for in order to function.
Display, storage, motor control, human machine interface and system control solutions help you meet these needs.
