It allows a full product range of chargers to be built around a single hardware design; a new charger model is designed simply by reprogramming the desired charge algorithm into the microcontroller using
In-System Programmable Flash memory.
Atmel announced recently the immediate availability of the world's only 16-Mbit,
In-System Programmable (ISP) FPGA configuration IC in a small footprint 8-pin Leadless Array Package (LAP).
This step permits calibration and correction, and is
in-system programmable to allow for correction of errors at the system level.
