Mailbag today. Guess my surprise when I found this in my mailbox:
It’s always nice to receive snail mail. Paper mail. Envelopes, magazines and newspapers. That’s why I try to subscribe to receive printed editions of all magazines of interest for me. Some time ago I signed a promo email from Texas Instruments in cooperation with Mouser, but — frankly — it was some time ago and I honestly believed that they forgot about me. Until today.
This is a very nice book and — Thank you TI & Mouser — very interesting. It covers, for dummies like me, advanced, modern MCU topics like this Ferroelectric Random Access Memory (FRAM), helps you incorporating FRAMs in your embedded applications and makes you smarter — like any read makes you smarter. For those who do not know (I was in the same boat before reading this), FRAM microcontrollers…
…provide an ultra-low power, differentiated, and more secure solution for embedded applications. FRAM is rapidly becoming the superior alternative to flash and EEPROM-based microcontrollers in ultra-low power solutions…
How low is the “low-power”? Very low. Consider this, an ATTiny9 consumption in active mode is around 100 µA. A MSP430 FRAM series MCU goes down to the level of microamps ! There is also a significant increase in throughput, up to 1.5 Mbps in some cases (see here).
So, thank you TI, thank you Mouser. Getting to read and like this, and returning with updates after this nice and interesting lecture.
Miron,
Thats actually me on the cover – I’m the perennial Dummy! The Dummy Object! The Dummy Class!
:):):)
Hope everything is going your way!

Oh, c’mon ! You’re too damn hard on yourself. I know the truth is far from what you say. 😀
You should check this out: Overcoming impostor syndrome.
