I know it's hard to believe, but I'm on twitter because I care about you and your success with electronics.

@ReimuNotMoe @MicrochipTech <waves magic wand> We're working on loading time performance for v6.20

@ReimuNotMoe 😉

@aggarwal_pallav What's your edge rates? most 90deg angles don't matter.

EMI EMC on PCB is a challenge. What kind of struggle is it for IC layout engineers? I see their routing does have 90-degree angles :) Curious how engineers mitigate EMI EMC issues at the micro level 🤔

@MouserElec MPLAB X!

Which of the following software applications do you use the most?

@powerpopster @kootsoop Wail till you try the paella

@kootsoop Yeah, check out their menu! NOT your typical Tex-mex fare…..😋

Almost forgot last night’s delicious takeout from @ToroLocoCT! I had the #FuerteMixta with shrimp, steak and chicken. Came with guacamole, pico, black beans and rice. I remembered how great their guac was, so I ordered a side of their “nutty” version with peanuts and pepitas. 😋

Here's a little known area of our website, but provides free design review, product selection, redesign and prototype support. microchip.com/en-us/support/… You can schedule a live call, or chat with our engineers

@FlukeCorp Only doing this because I got my first EE job within months of when the 179 was released. 😬 We got to choose our multimeter and it’s the one I got! Hey @powerpopster need an upgrade?

🎉 We're doing it again! Here's how to enter to win an anniversary edition Fluke 179 ⚡🔥 1️⃣ Like this post 2️⃣ Drop a comment sharing how you'd use your new 179 3️⃣ Tag someone whose toolbox could also use an upgrade! #Fluke75th #Fluke179 Ts&Cs >> bit.ly/3ONykhi

@gojimmypi Are you asking in general or specifically?

@MarkAtMicrochip From an engineering perspective, how would you compare the new TA100 to the ECC608?

TIL about the @MicrochipTech TA100 Trust Anchor External HSM. "The TA100 integrates multiple asymmetric, symmetric, and hashing security protocols supporting an ultra-secure method for key agreement, sign-verify authentication for automotive in-vehicle networking applications."

@gojimmypi Fortunately or unfortunately, they don’t let us engineers have the price book, so I don’t really know either. I know that it’s primarily market is automotive, so maybe that’s why it has to be quoted?

The TA100 demo boards are not exactly inexpensive. Perhaps @MarkAtMicrochip has an idea of the cost of just the chip, not mentioned on the website: microchip.com/en-us/product/…

@Aeroengineer1 @pocketmt Omg. That’s a good one. “I don’t know what I can say publicly…”

@MarkAtMicrochip @pocketmt donor Janie? :)

Are you aware of any documentation (or reverse work) on the protocol used by MPLabX to communicate with Microchip ICD or PICKit programmers/debuggers? I need to create a new IDE (for a special need) and need to communicate with them.

@pocketmt @Aeroengineer1 You may want to enter a support ticket into our system. I donor Janie what I can say publicly about this. If you do, let me know.

@MarkAtMicrochip @Aeroengineer1 Thank you Mark. I'll check it. Last time it was announced I think there were no TCP com capabilities with it (like GDB). So controlling it for debug purpose via a third party IDE will be a little bit difficult. I'll check last version. Thank you.

@Aeroengineer1 @pocketmt The easiest thing that I can think of is to use MDB and run scripts in your IDE. microchipdeveloper.com/mplabx:mdb onlinedocs.microchip.com/pr/GUID-EB8052…

@pocketmt I wonder if @MarkAtMicrochip might know?

@ReimuNotMoe The only way to ensure that gets fixed is if you enter a ticket. MCC is usually pretty good, so that surprises me.

@ReimuNotMoe Those don’t look like either a PIC32 or a PIC24. 😆

@tomfleet @arturo182 Depends on what you mean by “low end”. SAM9x75 ARM9 with MIPI CSI or DSI microchip.com/en-us/product/… Datasheet: ww1.microchip.com/downloads/aemD…

One for the (remaining) twitter gang - Anyone know of a "low end" MCU that has a MIPI peripheral? I want to deploy a bunch of cheap 2-lane MIPI displays *without* needing some beefy SoC to do so...

@ReimuNotMoe Whoa. That’s impressive! I don’t think I could do that!

@ReimuNotMoe Oh no. Please do not use the MZEC. Please use the MZEF instead. There are so many errata.

@ColinMeows That might be a good idea, but I am not the person for c#!

@MarkAtMicrochip C# ftw

That’s me! I really need to finish the other one I’m working on…

@travisgoodspeed @ianbouss Since they’re on a pad, I wonder if it has anything to do with electrical overstress protection…

@ianbouss That's artwork of some sort, unconnected to the wire.

PIC16CR54, a mask ROM variant of the PIC16C54 microcontroller.
