Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced the MCP16301—Microchip’s first 30V-input, 600 milliampere (mA) buck switching regulator. The MCP16301 features a wide input voltage range from 4V to 30V, an output voltage range from 2V to 15V and provides up to 95 percent efficiency. The 600 mA MCP16301 is offered in a 6-pin SOT-23 package with an integrated high-side switch, and requires a minimal number of external components.
The Stranding Response Team released 3 rehabilitated turtles along the shore just north of Neptune’s Park at 31st Street. The rehabilitated turtles were cleared by veterinary staff to be released. Satellite tags will send information via satellite when the turtle basks and can be followed on seaturtle.org. Acoustic tags are part of a project in conjunction with naval biologists that uses an array of receivers in the Chesapeake Bay and coastal ocean to monitor the fine scale movements of sea turtles. Information is not generated in real time and the receivers are checked once a month.
• Wolverine, loggerhead sea turtle
This turtle came to the Virginia Aquarium with the help of the Virginia Marine Resources Commission as it was found floating by a Tangier Island fisherman in July. Upon admission to the Virginia Aquarium Marine Animal Care Center, Wolverine was lethargic, dehydrated and in shock with a crushing blunt force trauma to the head. A CT Scan at Sentara Hospital enabled staff to get a firm visual of the wound and treat it accordingly. Wolverine is outfitted with pit tags (similar to dog/cat microchips), rear flipper tags, a satellite tag and acoustic tag.
• Loki, Kemp’s ridley sea turtle
Also found by a fisherman, Loki came from Kiptopeke State Park in December 2013. This Kemp’s ridley was cold stunned and suffering from pneumonia. His treatment consisted of fluid therapy, medication and a gradually raising of the core body temperature. Loki is outfitted with pit tags, rear flipper tags, a satellite tag and acoustic tag.
• Lex Luther, Kemp’s ridley sea turtle
Hooked by a recreational fisherman at Little Island Pier in Sandbridge on July 30, Lex Luther initially appeared to be in normal body condition and alert. However, upon admission the Stranding Response staff found that he had a large hook in the esophagus. This was removed under sedation at Beach Pet Hospital. Further follow-up treatment was conducted by Stranding Response staff. Lex Luther is outfitted with a pit tag and acoustic tag.

Microchip's eight-member PIC24FJ256DA microcontroller family integrates three graphics acceleration units and a display controller, along with 96 Kbytes of RAM. This integration reduces system costs and makes it practical to add advanced graphics displays for a wide range of embedded applications, by eliminating the need for external RAM and a display controller. Additional savings are achieved through the integrated peripherals for USB and capacitive touch sensing. To enable quick time to market, Microchip’s Graphics Display Design Center provides a host of resources for application designers, such as the free and easy-to-use Graphics Library and Visual Design Tool, see: www.microchip.com/get/89VU

Stop what you are doing and read this!
Do you know who Jack Kilby is?
You should, but most people do not. Jack Kilby worked at Texas Instruments here in Dallas, Texas and his invention has changed our lives more than any other invention in our lifetime, yet we do not recognize his name.
You see... Jack Kilby was the inventor of the microchip back in 1958 and received the Nobel Prize for his invention. In his obituary, it said he seldom used e-mail and imagine my thrill to stumble upon his estate sale after his death to find his old Royal typewriter, and I knew I had to have it!
To see a fascinating video about Jack:
