WHAT's NEW
The latest release of the
Gopher
product has numerous new features along with program and
database updates that have been made since the last update. We now support
25 manufactures and have their entire product line of MCU's available in
our database. In this release, our database has a total of 14,455 parts.
You can now search without regard to using upper and lower case letters.
Also, you can now quickly enter expressions by just entering the parameter
value and Gopher will automatically supply the search operators. For
example, if you enter a non-numeric parameter value, Gopher will
automatically add the "=" operator before the value. If you enter an all
numeric parameter value, Gopher will add the ">=" operator before the
value. Examples:
Y becomes =Y
4 becomes >=4
You can now search the entire database for the existence and quantities of
UART, LIN, I2C, SCI and SPI interfaces.
A new
feature called "Application Search Configurator" has been added that
allows a user to pick an application, such as motor control, and then
quickly pick the motor type and how it is to be controlled and Gopher will
then automatically configure the correct search equations for you.
Numerous database inconsistencies due to the way the database was
initially populated has been resolved. This occurred because many
manufactures would describe the existence of an option with "Y", a
checkmark, a number that described how many, an "x", etc. Now all data
found in the master list of parametrics (about 130 of them) have been
normalized to either Y or optionally N and a separate parametric field has
been added to account for quantities.
A new
feature has been added so that when no parts are returned from a search,
one can examine the frequency of occurrence for each parameter that was
specified. This can make it much easier to narrow in on the goal
that you are looking for.
Is the database perfect. NO -- but we are far more complete and accurate
than any other MCU search engine including the ones provided by the
manufacturers.
