emit, myself, I never considered you gone, so I'm not saying welcome back.

Having the ability to manipulate circuits through the micro-controller/API[software] is what it has been about for a long time. It has always been my contention, that in some way, e.Digital would master a part of the industry with micro-controller offerings.....more or less competing with the issues being challenged by the law suits, such as the ZORAN controller identified in the Samsung case. The methods implemented by ZORAN clearly had to be the infringing issue.....Samsung may have some form of reprieve, however, I would say ZORAN does not.

It's not only about power savings and closing down DC to DC circuits....but methods of circuit control in general.

"It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that numerous modifications to circuitry and design could be made the to embodiment disclosed herein. It is to be understood that such modifications are intended to be comprehended within the present invention, as defined by the following claims."

good luck emit.

sman, thanks for posting the 12v prior art comparative, being the VPP at the removable flash socket that I had commented on, and the noted deficiencies of the prior art.
