field-programmable first networks
American Microsystems Inc. (AMI) introduced first field-programmable actuator/sensor interface (AS-i industrial equipment market with on-chip EEPROM. AMI's field-programmable (advanced AS-i also only accommodate slave devices over 100m (meter) double other system's maximum slave capacity longer. "smart" cabling solution AS-i quickly becoming universal choice field buses industrial automated process controls. reasons clear. AS-i networks more flexible they easier install, operate maintain. Plus, compared
traditional cable-tree architectures, AS-i networks simpler reconfigure. AS-i network carries data power, 40V, over wires. This significantly reduces amount cabling needed automated manufacturing environments, permitting system designers reduce wiring clutter costs electronic components. result versatile, low-cost "smart" cabling solution designed specifically low-level automation systems. AS-i cable connects number slave units (until now, maximum master programmable logic computer simple industrial computer microcontroller. used create network nearly kind actuator, sensor, master cononly provides factory programmability, field programmability (and reprogrammability) with without infrared interface. Infrared (IR) programming advantage lowering both total costs capital system costs. Through reusable external programmable logic devices, programming effectively eliminates off-line machine set-up service cost. result solution that delivers robust, industrially hardened performance, costing percent less than conventional cabling networks percent less than systems using previous generations AS-i ICs. More features, smaller package When used slave interface, A2SI page AMI's A2SI chip reduces system costs doubling capacity slave interfaces.

These were major issues together 1999 annual plan plan that drew following conclusions: This decade, AMI's success largely willingness customize designs, processes, just about anything else meet customers' needs, ability cost-effectively maintain older wafer fabrication processes. Most competitors (digital) process generations ahead competitors developing advanced digital processes; some developing advanced mixed-signal processes; developing mixed-signal design tools methods. custom design process background excellent foundation upon which build mixed-signal-based business. Raising mixed-signal next several years, will capitalizing extending, mixed-signal strengths applying them markets seeking mixed-signal ASIC solutions. will intensify efforts develop capabilities. This focus will extend current abilities ways that make leader mixed-signal ASIC products services. 0.25µ process development verge starting 0.5µ volume production making great progress 0.35µ process development.
