Ask the XLP "Expert" Rishi Vasuki a question

Rishi Vasuki
Upon graduating from the MSEE program at SUNY Stony Brook in the spring of 2001, I joined Microchip as an Applications Engineer. For close to a decade at Microchip, I have enjoyed both, designing a wide variety of embedded applications(Audio, Security, Motor Control, Power Supplies and Smart Sensors)and defining new productsfor the embedded market. My current focus includes PIC(R) XLP MCUs for eXtreme Low Power applications as well as Microchip's mTouch solutions using 8-bit PIC18 & 16-bit PIC24 MCUs.
